Question: would the oil rigs damage the seamarine life?

Hi Jess, before we build any oil rigs or platforms, we do an environmental survey of the area to make sure that we’re not disturbing any important marine habitats.

Once the platforms are built, they actually seem to attract marine life! On the gas platform I’ve worked on, they’ve spotted seals, porpoises and minke whales hanging around in the area!
