How Do Floating Oil Rigs Stay So Stable in the Deep Sea?
Have you ever pondered why floating oil rigs stay so stable in the deep sea while ships struggle, in the same waters? Once constructed on shore, oil rigs are towed to their designated sites, eventually becoming massive floating cities in the deep sea. Despite waves reaching up to 65 feet in height, they remain remarkably stable. Unlike ships, which float entirely on the water surface, these rigs are equipped with pontoon tanks flooded with water. This submerges the pontoons below the waterline, lowering the center of gravity and providing exceptional stability.
