Using steel buoys around offshore oil exploration platforms mainly provides support for ensuring the safe operation of the platform, navigation access, and environmental monitoring. These buoys are usually floating markers placed on the sea surface to identify hazardous areas, and equipment or provide relevant data for different offshore operations.

Applications:

1) Safety warnings and signs:

Steel buoys are often placed around oil platforms to mark dangerous areas or alert sailing vessels to avoid them. Especially around deepwater oil fields and platforms, where maritime traffic is dense, buoys can be used as prominent warning signs to prevent ships from straying in. They may also mark important equipment, such as underwater drilling units, temporary pipeline connections, etc., to avoid accidents of shipping.

2) Navigation function:

Steel buoys are usually equipped with strong lights, reflective materials, or signaling systems to help maritime navigators determine their position and direction. This is important for vessels that may be around oil platforms, especially at night or in low visibility conditions.

3) Environmental monitoring:

Modern steel buoys may be equipped with environmental monitoring equipment to monitor seawater quality, meteorological data, waves, tides, and other environmental factors. This data can help offshore oil platform operators understand their surroundings and predict severe weather or potential marine disasters.

Buoys can monitor ocean pollution near oil extraction platforms to ensure that platform operations do not cause serious damage to the environment. By detecting the concentration of pollutants in seawater, countermeasures can be taken on time.

4) Help platform positioning and support:

Steel buoys can sometimes also be connected to fixed facilities on offshore platforms to provide additional support, especially equipment or accessories used to assist in positioning the platform.

5) Prevent collision:

There are often a large number of offshore operating vessels around offshore oil platforms. The buoys mark the actual location of the platform to ensure that these vessels maintain a safe distance from the platform and avoid collision accidents.
