The Lun-A (Lunskoye-A) platform, located off the north eastern coast of Sakhalin Island and is a concrete gravity base substructure (CGBS).. An oil platform (also called an oil rig, offshore platform, oil production platform, etc.) is a large structure with facilities to extract and process petroleum and natural gas that lie in rock formations beneath the seabed.
Offshore manned facilities also present logistics and human resources challenges. An offshore oil platform is a small community in itself with cafeteria, sleeping quarters, management and other support functions. In the North Sea, staff members are transported by helicopter for a two-week shift.
Offshore drilling has continued from existing platforms in state and federal waters. State offshore seabed in California produced 37,400 barrels (5,950 m 3) of oil per day, and federal offshore tracts produced 66,400 barrels (10,560 m 3) of oil per day in November 2008.
The platform is located in the Perdido fold belt which is a rich discovery of crude oil and natural gas. The Perdido spar began production in 2010 and its peak production is 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent (c. 16 000 m 3 /d ) and 200 million cubic feet of gas per day (c. 5.7 × 10 6 m 3 /d ).

The production platform Hibernia is the world's largest oil platform [2] (by mass) and consists of a 37,000 t (41,000 short tons) integrated topsides facility mounted on a 600,000 t (660,000 short tons) gravity base structure. The platform was towed to its final site, and 450,000 t (500,000 short tons) of solid ballast were added to secure it ...
