At the same time, the platforms are also used for drilling oil wells, if the existence of the field has been proven. Once the well is finished, the platform can be used to extract hydrocarbons from it, or it can be moved to another one to perform new drilling.

production platforms.

Inside the wellheads, to reduce the viscosity of the crude oil, the oil and the gas are mixed, giving shape to the blend. Then a natural separation takes place in which the gas, by density, separates from the oil.
