The floating.. Achiemedes principle A body totally or partially submerge in experiences a Force equal to the volume of fluid it displaces and law of flotation .. A body displaces its own weight in a liquid in which it floats.. Physics class for King's college that year.. Floreat..

it becomes obvious you have no iota of science knowledge in you.

Anyways, when you juxtapose that principle with chains holding down the platform as illustrated somewhere above there, you will have a fairly stable platform to live and work on.

You can as well elaborate on how juxtaposing the other guy's reply with the photo will answer the question. just assume as you have said that i and the op got no iota of science knowledge.

First of all you need to read on Archimedes principle.

It was chained so the oil rig won't float away. If not, it'll just be floating and not fixed. The chain isn't why it floats.
To better understand this, you should look at canoes, ships etc.

It answers the question more than 90%.
Archimedes principle and the law of floatation is the reason why things float on water, then the shape and construction of the base and density of the liquid can also be considered.
But in all Archimedes principle and law of flotation is the answer to the question he asked.
That chain you see there is just to prevent it from floating away

Best way to explain it to a novice, but there is a little diffrence in the construction.

Caissons.

A caisson is a tubular system filled with fluids that would provide flotation.

If you had 4 caissons on four corners of the structure (a rig), you wold have provided a flotation mechanism, then you can tether the rig to the bottom floor using chains or any other tethering system.

OP, pay me.

Oga this doesn't answer the question. You can only use that float theories for an unstable object on the water which will never be stable but on the question asked above !!! It was chained to the bottom of the Ocean .

considering the texture of the soil at the bottom, what is the material that was used to make it firm at the seabed?
How were they able to get there considering the principles of: the deeper the colder.

The seabed is solid like most parts of the earth's surface.

This can be deduced well before drilling by carrying out seabed surveys - Geotechnical and Geophysical Surveys.

Newton's laws of floatation.,

.it's just balloon filled with air or any fluid less dense than water ...chained down so it doesn't move around too much

It was chained to prevent it from floating away or being carried by oceans current has zero to do with its floatation

Jack up rigs only float when being transported , once they get to the drill location they sink their legs into the sea bed and then jack up the main structure above the water .. FPSOs are the the large floating ship like production platforms..

The person you quoted is asking how the oil rig can stay firm on the ocean and not float, and you are there quoting this and that. Ship float on water, but do they sail firm? Considering the ocean waves.
