Description A floating, submersible drilling or production platform is a structure that is anchored to the floor of the sea. This is done to avoid collisions with the ocean floor or aquatic life. The platform will have multiple legs that are submerged below the water. This is to make sure the platform is stable and so it does not move. The platform will also have supports on the outer rim of the structure that are used to hold the frames on the surface of the water. These frames are what the drilling or production operations take place on.
