That's in the first drilling fase when there is only a drilling rig above the well.TwoTankAmin wrote:They are anchored with cables. I believe its usually 4 and each has is own motor which can be used to shift the rig.
When the well is suitable for production a production platform is build and other methods are used, you can read some about those methods here:
