oil platform
Let an agent handle oil platforms by type, operator, field, safety regime, environmental rules and decommissioning, at an engineering and public-information level.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent handle oil platforms by type, operator, field, safety regime, environmental rules and decommissioning, at an engineering and public-information level.
A large offshore structure used to drill for, extract, process or store oil and natural gas beneath the seabed, including fixed platforms, compliant towers, tension-leg platforms, semi-submersibles and floating production units.
What it is for: Offshore oil and gas production.
It can be identify a platform type and operator; find the field and production information from official sources; understand offshore safety and environmental regulation; learn about decommissioning.
Distinguishing features
Offshore location
Drilling or production role
Major hazard installation
Requires decommissioning
What it looks like
Steel or concrete structures standing in or floating on the sea, with decks, derricks, flare stacks and helidecks.
How it is recognised
Decks, derricks and flare stacks
Fixed legs or floating hulls
Wind turbines are offshore energy structures of a different kind
