đ˘ď¸ Offshore Oil Isnât 1 Thing Itâs 6...
The deeper the water, the higher the cost.
And the higher the geopolitical value.
How offshore really works?
Fixed platforms â shallow water, lowest cost
Compliant towers â deeper, more flexible
Tension-leg platforms â >300m, capital heavy, stable
Spar platforms â ultra-deep, long-life assets
Semi-submersibles â mobility + harsh environments
FPSOs â floating production, storage, export hubs
⢠Shallow = fast payback
⢠Deepwater = long cycle, fewer players
⢠FPSOs = energy + logistics + geopolitics in one hull
Offshore oil didnât disappear.
It just went deeper.
