Considerations
Fixed Platforms Mobile Offshore Drilling Units
•Directly attached to the ocean floor
• Deployed in water less than 1,700 feet (520 meters) deep
•Immobility
•Can be moved without substantial effort
•Can operate in the most severe, hostile, and usually artic conditions
•Can be deployed in Ultra-deepwater

•Cheaper•Safer•More Versatile•Deeper
