Using sonic equipment, oil companies determine the drilling sites most likely to produce oil. Then they use a mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) to dig the initial well. Some units are converted into production rigs, meaning they switch from drilling for oil to capturing oil once it's found.Types of deepwater drilling facilitiesDrilling in deep waters can be performed by two main types of mobile deepwater drilling rigs: drilling rigs and . Drilling can also be performed from a fixed-position installation such as a fixed platfor. .
On 20 April 2010, a deepwater oil rig () exploded, killing 11 and releasing 750,000 cubic meters (200 million gallons) of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. With those numbers, many scientists c. .
