...In the offshore oil world a "rig" is the term usually associated with a drilling operation, while a "platform" usually has already been drilled and is responsible for producing oil from its wells. Often however one structure can provide both functions...
...You'll often hear hear crude oil described as being sweet or sour. These labels have nothing to do with takst. Instead, sour crude has high concentrations of a substance called hydrogen sulfide...
...This is a poisonous, corrosive gas which smells like rotten eggs. It's found in some degree in most crude oil and presents a safety problem to anyone handling and refining it. The rare deposits of crude with little or no hydrogen sulfide are described as sweet and they naturally sell at a premium...
