Floating or submersible drilling or production platforms

HS v2017 Code: 890520

About floating or submersible drilling or production platforms

hs code 890520 covers floating or submersible drilling or production platforms, which are essential components of the offshore oil and gas industry. These specialized vessels play a crucial role in the exploration, extraction, and production of hydrocarbons from offshore reservoirs, contributing significantly to global energy supply and economic development.

Production process

Floating or submersible drilling or production platforms are typically constructed using a combination of steel, concrete, and other specialized materials. The production process involves the fabrication of the platform's hull, the installation of drilling and production equipment, and the integration of various systems, such as power generation, well control, and safety systems. These platforms are designed to withstand harsh offshore environments and operate in deep water or harsh weather conditions.

Production inputs

The production of floating or submersible drilling or production platforms requires a range of inputs, including steel, concrete, specialized equipment such as 847430 Boring or sinking machinery, 840510 Marine propulsion engines, and 853710 Electrical control and distribution boards. Additionally, these platforms rely on advanced engineering and design expertise, as well as specialized labor and logistics to transport and install the completed structures.

Production outputs

Floating or submersible drilling or production platforms are the primary output of hs code 890520, and they are essential for the extraction and production of offshore oil and gas resources. The platforms produced under this code are typically consumed by the 271111 Natural gas, 271113 Natural gas, liquefied, and 271114 Ethylene, propylene, butylene and butadiene, liquefied industries, as well as the broader 2711 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, crude industry.
