Actually a production platform. More than just a drilling rig, but it has one of those two.

They are designed to shutdown, evacuate all personal, and ride out a hurricane. Sometimes the get damaged but usually start back up afterward without too much trouble.

Forgive my ignorance, but how are these fields parceled out? Is it a case of any oil company from around the world being able to test drill, or are there rules against foreign companies setting up shop?
