The world’s biggest oil platform is located in the Sea of Okhotsk offshore Russia. This giant is called Berkut and it is 105m long, 60m wide and 144m high. The unique drilling platform is designed to work in harsh Arctic conditions, has an autonomous power supply and can work even when temperatures go down to minus 44 degrees Celsius. Even floating ice up to two meters thick cannot damage its substructure. Very impressive.
