yes, its one of those short docus which dramatisises everything. not only one sequence of the journey over the oceans or at the cape of good hope is shown in the docu.. very poor.

Shell! What happened to the 50 classic bedtime stories series? I used them in my ESL classes. They were wonderfully made and I hope that you bring them back!
Wow i wonder if there might be reasons for these increasingly extreme weather situations? Would be handy if someone could make them go away so that these poor oil companies can at least get their boring platforms in place, is that so much to ask?
I appreciate the engineers and hard workers, really do! I use Shell gas almost exclusively in my cars, but this is a crzy dangerous industry, rolling the dice with mother nature. We need to move forward from oil. I'd be willing to buy an alternative fuel vehicle if it was as fun as my car for a price I could afford, hopefully in my lifetime. In the meantime, plz do what you can to keep everything/one safe.
You CANNOT move away from oil. Unfortunately that's not how the world works. Even in 70 years when we have more renewable energy...the demand for oil will not dwindle it will have a steady increase.
@@ast9627 Incorrect, in 70 years demand for oil will be a fraction of what it is now because we will no longer be burning it and will only need it for manufacturing polymers. Also as recycling technology improves we will be able to recycle more and more of the polymers that currently exist and won't need to create as many new ones from oil. How anyone could think we would need more oil by the year 2100 is utterly baffling and can only make me question your level of education, if any.
Hello @shell, gorgeous project! I would just like to ask why you carried the platfrom trought the whole world (around India, Africa) and straight to the Gulf of an Mexico? Were there any technical issues? Love the platform, its size, like a cathedral! Is there any chance one could go on and see it from the inside?
Whoever complains that electric cars has difficulties, oil is worse on every single plane, this video proves the massive undertakings required for some simple fuel.
Incredible. Think about it folks, this type of thing is just the very beginning of a long and amazing process to put gas in your car. And even with the government adding taxes, it is still cheaper than a gallon of milk.
@pattherealist If you say so. But the fact is there is enough oil and gas to last hundreds more years. And nothing you use was possible without oil. Dream on.
Mind blown! Realizing building a structure bigger than what my brain can comprehend. On the other side of the world and then transporting through open oceans. That was cheaper than building it in Mexico. Let that sink in.

Erm the question: "should we stop this all together?" Was asked several times here, as a life long gulf coast resident my answer is pretty obvious: this question should have been asked decades ago.... Still my brain couldn't resist a video on logistics
@@joshualyndona.1297 There's no nearby shore in pacific ocean that the voyagers can rely on specially when an unfortunate things happen so they will still choose safety and spend tons of resources by travelling into way more vast but safe route rather than losing the oil rig itself.
Amazing engineering made possible by Capitalism! Would have been far easier to build this in Texas. Nobody in the world builds oil rigs better than Texans.
Agreed. The labor savings in building in America can't possibly outweigh the shipping cost of packing that behemoth on a ship and floating it 15,000 miles through the ocean. That cost MILLIONS to float that thing here. Judt to save $5/hr off a wage?
They don't have facilities here on the USA to build that. Most of the major oil platforms are built overseas. They do construction 100x better than the USA.
@@codylee1682 Well, I would dispute that claim. They don't have facilities here because union labor costs make manufacturing anything nearly cost-impossible.
@@robertzeurunkl8401 There are other factors at play like maybe SK way under bid the job just to keep people working. They may not have the old made in the USA standard but look at what China can build with a cheap labour force.

If i am right.... most ships avoid traveling through open waters because if and any accident occurs they will be too far from any land to ask for help....
@@imJamesF Harvey is equivalent to a typhoon. The real reason is that there is no nearby shores so when an accident happen, people can rescue the crew easily and fast
Travelling through atlantic ocean despite the fact that it's a longer route than the pacific ocean provides more safety because of nearby shore such as in cape of good hope where they can be rescued easily when an unfortunate things happen whereas in pacific ocean, it's a shorter route but it's a vast ocean , no nearby shore and waves are unstable and stronger due to the prevailing wind.
Shell has to be at least somewhat aware that they are heavily contributing to those extreme weather events. Building even more plattforms with a projected lifetime of 40 years (when humanity has to have moved away from fossil fuels) is just irresponsible and wastes the time of those amazing engineers working on it. They could instead help engineer a cleaner and better future for all of us. Not that they are to blame - It's the CEOs of oil companies who should be held responsible
If the decision was made to leave the platform in the shipyard it would have been hit by the typhoon. The power and debris created could have damaged the platform.
Seems like trying to outrun the Typhoon is a lot riskier that hunkering down. They had days to anchor it and prep to wait out the storm. They choose the risk and got lucky this time.
