    Offshore Drilling Rigs/Platforms

    This semi-submersible offshore oil and gas integrated platform is a multifunctional floating marine facility designed for deepwater offshore drilling, well completion, crude oil separation, natural gas processing, temporary storage and auxiliary offshore operations. Distinct from fixed jacket platforms anchored to shallow seabeds, the semi-submersible structure adopts dual buoyancy pontoons connected by vertical support columns, lifting the main working deck above storm wave ranges to eliminate wave-induced impact and maintain ultra-high stability under harsh marine weather conditions.

1. Product Overview & Core Description

This semi-submersible offshore oil and gas integrated platform is a multifunctional floating marine facility designed for deepwater offshore drilling, well completion, crude oil separation, natural gas processing, temporary storage and auxiliary offshore operations. Distinct from fixed jacket platforms anchored to shallow seabeds, the semi-submersible structure adopts dual buoyancy pontoons connected by vertical support columns, lifting the main working deck above storm wave ranges to eliminate wave-induced impact and maintain ultra-high stability under harsh marine weather conditions.
The whole facility integrates three core functional modules: the central drilling derrick system, topside production processing modules, and marine living & utility auxiliary areas. The towering steel derrick at the platform center serves as the core drilling execution unit, supporting full-length Drill String lowering, tripping, cementing and well stimulation work for deepwater wells. Two heavy-lift offshore cranes are symmetrically arranged on the port and starboard sides of the deck, providing 360-degree hoisting coverage for equipment replacement, pipeline maintenance and supply vessel cargo transfer. Multiple large-capacity horizontal storage tanks on the deck realize temporary storage of separated crude oil, produced water and chemical additives, matching supporting manifold pipelines, separators, compressors and solid control equipment to finish primary oil-gas-water separation on-site before transmission via submarine pipelines or shuttle tankers.
All structural steel components are coated with marine anti-corrosion heavy-duty paint, with critical underwater columns and pontoons equipped with sacrificial anode anti-corrosion systems to resist seawater erosion, marine organism adhesion and long-term salt fog corrosion. The platform adopts DP3 grade full dynamic positioning system, eliminating the need for traditional anchor mooring, enabling free relocation between different offshore blocks and adapting to water depths ranging from 200 meters to 1,500 meters. It is applicable to offshore oilfield development in the South China Sea, Southeast Asian deepwater basins, Gulf of Mexico and West African offshore fields, capable of completing full-cycle operations from exploration drilling, well cementing, workover fishing to daily production boosting. Compared with single-function drilling rigs, this integrated platform cuts overall offshore development investment by 25% and shortens field commissioning cycles, becoming the mainstream deepwater development solution for medium and large independent oil operators worldwide.

3. Sanmen Machinery Company Profile

Sanmen Machinery Co., Ltd. is a comprehensive integrated oil & gas equipment manufacturer headquartered in Room 507, No.462 Qingnian South Road, Yantai E-commerce Innovation Harbor, Zhifu District, Yantai City, Shandong Province, China. We have focused on independent R&D, customized design, precision manufacturing and global export of onshore & offshore petroleum machinery for more than 18 years. Our full-series product line covers semi-submersible offshore platforms, fixed jacket platforms, BOP stacks, Cementing Equipment, completion & stimulation tool strings, workover fishing tools, wellhead Christmas trees, OCTG Drill Pipes, industrial valves, sealing parts and oilfield chemical reagents, delivering one-stop integrated equipment matching solutions for global oilfield operators.
We run two standardized intelligent manufacturing workshops with a total area of 68,000 square meters, equipped with CNC machining centers, large steel structure automatic welding lines, high-pressure comprehensive test laboratories and professional non-destructive testing stations. The internal R&D team includes 46 senior marine and petroleum mechanical engineers, holding 32 independent invention patents for deepwater floating platform structure optimization and special downhole tool design. All finished products go through full-process strict quality inspection: raw material spectral component testing, semi-finished precision dimension calibration, finished hydraulic pressure impact testing and third-party marine certification audit, fully meeting international API, CE and major classification society industry standards.
We adopt the factory-direct sales model without intermediate dealers, and maintain long-term stable cooperation with oil operators from more than 30 countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Brazil. Our multilingual after-sales engineering team provides on-site assembly guidance, equipment operation training and full-lifecycle maintenance support for overseas offshore projects, building a complete global sales & service network covering Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.


Frequently Asked Questions 

Q1: What core advantages does a semi-submersible platform have compared with fixed jacket platforms?A1: Fixed jacket platforms only adapt to water depths below 400 meters and cannot be relocated after installation. Our SM-900 semi-submersible unit supports deepwater operation up to 1,500 meters and can independently navigate to different oil blocks relying on the DP3 positioning system. Its submerged pontoon structure avoids direct wave impact on the main deck, achieving far higher stability under typhoon-level severe marine environments. The integrated drilling-production design eliminates separate procurement of two sets of independent facilities, greatly reducing overall offshore oilfield development investment.
Q2: Can the platform be customized according to customers’ unique oilfield operation demands?A2: Absolutely. Our professional technical team provides all-round customized design service. We can adjust derrick load, daily oil-gas processing capacity, crew accommodation scale and supporting auxiliary modules according to clients’ local water depth, reservoir output, regional environmental protection regulations and staffing demands. We also support complete matching of dedicated cementing, fracturing and fishing tool strings to form a full-set platform operation package.
Q3: What certification documents can you supply for offshore export projects?A3: All platform main structures and core drilling equipment are certified by DNV, ABS and CCS marine classification societies. Pressure-bearing key components including BOP stacks and separators pass API Spec and CE certification. We can provide complete factory inspection reports, NDT flaw detection records and full sets of marine shipping technical documents for customs clearance and local offshore authority audit.
Q4: How long is the delivery cycle for a full set of semi-submersible platform unit?A4: The whole manufacturing and factory commissioning cycle for standard SM-900 model platforms is 14–16 months. For deep customized modified versions, the lead time ranges from 18 to 22 months, depending on additional functional modules requested. We reserve semi-finished structural components for conventional specifications to shorten delivery schedules for urgent offshore development projects.
Q5: Do you offer overseas on-site after-sales technical support?

A5: Yes. After equipment delivery, we arrange professional marine petroleum engineers to travel to client project sites for platform assembly, overall system debugging and operator professional training. We also provide long-distance remote digital operation monitoring service and supply global spare parts delivery for all matched supporting equipment.
