The Tallest Maritime Oil Rig in the Gulf of Mexico
The Petronius Compliant Tower, towering at 640 meters in the Gulf of Mexico, was the world’s tallest freestanding structure until 2010. Designed for deepwater conditions, it flexibly withstands ocean currents while extracting 60,000 barrels of oil and 100 million cubic feet of gas daily, playing a vital role in U.S. oil production.
