Floating or submersible drilling or production platforms

CPC v2.1 Code: 49320

About floating or submersible drilling or production platforms

cpc code 49320 covers the manufacturing and operation of floating or submersible drilling and production platforms. These specialized offshore structures play a crucial role in the global energy industry, enabling the exploration and extraction of oil and natural gas resources from underwater reservoirs. As a capital-intensive and technologically advanced sector, the production of these platforms is a significant contributor to the broader economy, supporting a range of ancillary industries and services.

Production process

The production of floating or submersible drilling and production platforms involves a complex and highly specialized process. Key steps include the design and engineering of the platform's structure, the fabrication of its various components, and the final assembly and integration of all systems. Advanced construction techniques, such as modular construction and automated welding, are often employed to ensure the platforms' durability and reliability in harsh offshore environments.

Production inputs

The production of cpc code 49320 platforms requires a range of specialized inputs, including steel and other structural materials, advanced drilling and production equipment, complex control systems, and highly skilled labor. Additionally, the industry relies on a network of supporting industries, such as 49100 Shipbuilding and repairing, 33120 Manufacture of instruments and appliances for measuring, testing and navigation, and 71122 Engineering activities and related technical consultancy, to provide critical components and services.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 49320 is the floating or submersible drilling and production platforms themselves, which are then deployed at offshore oil and gas fields to facilitate the extraction of hydrocarbons. These platforms are essential for the 06100 Extraction of crude petroleum, 06200 Extraction of natural gas, and 09100 Support activities for petroleum and natural gas extraction industries, as they enable the efficient and safe production of these vital energy resources.
