... development methods required over 30 offshore platforms to meet the production target efficiently. However, a novel drilling island concept in the form of a causeway was adopted, since the shallow water areas do not allow ocean vessels to set up the jackets and platforms. Utilization of a causeway, combined...

In fact, one of the most notable was the 32km (19 mile) pull of a 32- oil export line from the Island of Khargu to Ganaveh on the coast of Iran in the Persian Gulf in 1960. As time went on, vessels servicing the offshore industry grew...

... Abstract BP Exploration (Alaska)'s Northstar Project is the first offshore arctic field development with a subsea oil pipeline.
