What does an oil rig look like?

An oil rig typically features a large, towering structure with a drilling platform above the water, supported by a series of legs or pontoons. The platform is equipped with drilling equipment, storage tanks, and often living quarters for crew members. Depending on the type, offshore rigs may appear as floating structures or fixed platforms anchored to the seabed. Onshore rigs generally consist of a drilling tower, machinery, and storage areas for equipment and materials.
