What is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy involves the use of essential oils, which are concentrated plant extracts obtained from flowers, leaves, bark, stems, and roots. These oils can be inhaled through diffusion or applied topically when diluted with a carrier oil.

Offshore drilling rigs are large, specialized structures used to explore and extract oil and natural gas from beneath the ocean floor. These massive engineering marvels are essential to meeting global energy demands, especially as onshore reserves become harder to access or economically unviable. Operating in some of the most challenging environments on Earth, offshore rigs are at the forefront of deep-sea energy exploration.

What Are Offshore Drilling Rigs?

Offshore drilling rigs are platforms or vessels designed to drill wells into the seabed to reach oil and gas reservoirs located beneath the ocean floor. Depending on water depth, geology, and weather conditions, different types of rigs are used. Their main function is to provide a stable working environment and all necessary equipment to carry out safe and efficient drilling operations.
