  2. Dry dock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_dock

    A floating dry dock is a type of pontoon for dry docking ships, possessing floodable buoyancy chambers and a U-shaped cross-section. The walls are used to give the dry dock stability when the floor or deck is below the surface of the water. When valves are opened, the chambers fill with water, causing the dry dock to float lower in the water ...

  3. Floating production storage and offloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_production...

    A floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit is a floating vessel used by the offshore oil and gas industry for the production and processing of hydrocarbons, and for the storage of oil. An FPSO vessel is designed to receive hydrocarbons produced by itself or from nearby platforms or subsea template, process them, and store oil ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_floating_roof_tank

    An external floating roof tank is a storage tank commonly used to store large quantities of petroleum products such as crude oil or condensate. It consists of an open- topped cylindrical steel shell equipped with a roof that floats on the surface of the stored liquid. The roof rises and falls with the liquid level in the tank. [1]

  5. Spar (platform) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spar_(platform)

    Spar (platform) A spar is a marine structure, used for floating oil/gas platforms. Named after navigation channel Spar buoys, spar platforms were developed as an extreme deepwater alternative to conventional platforms. [1] The deep draft design of spars makes them less affected by wind, wave, and currents and allows for both dry tree and subsea ...

  6. Tension-leg platform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tension-leg_platform

    A tension-leg platform (TLP) or extended tension leg platform (ETLP) is a vertically moored floating structure normally used for the offshore production of oil or gas, and is particularly suited for water depths greater than 300 metres (about 1000 ft) and less than 1500 metres (about 4900 ft). Use of tension-leg platforms has also been proposed ...

A water slide (also referred to as a flume, water chute, or hydroslide) is a type of slide designed for warm-weather or indoor recreational use at swimming pools or water parks. Water slides differ in their riding method and ...

  8. Semi-submersible platform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-submersible_platform

    The first semi-submersible floating production platform was the Argyll FPF converted from the Transworld 58 drilling semi-submersible in 1975 for the Hamilton Brothers North Sea Argyll oil field. As the oil industry progressed into deeper water and harsh environments, purpose-built production semi-submersible platforms were designed.
