What is offshore outsourcing? It is the practice of hiring an external organization to perform some business functions in a country other than the one where the services or products are actually being developed or being manufactured.

It can be contrasted with offshoring, where the functions are performed in a foreign country by a foreign subsidiary. Opponents point out that the practice of sending work overseas by countries with higher wages reduces their own domestic employment and domestic investment.

Many customer services job as well as jobs in the information technology sectors such as data processing, computer programming, and technical support, in countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States are potentially affected.

What is the general criteria for offshore outsourcing?

• Job can be telework
• There is a significant wage difference between the original and offshore countries;
• The work has a high information content.
• The work is easy to set up
• The work can be transmitted over the internet.
• The work is repeatable.

The driving factor behind the development of offshore outsourcing has been the need to cut costs while the enabling factor has been the global electronic internet network that allows digital data to be accessed and delivered instantly, from and to almost anywhere in the world

Oil Rigs is a large structure that being used to house workers and machinery needed to drill wells for oil and gas.

There are some types of oil rig or platform such as below:

• Fixed platform.

This type of rigs are built on steel or concrete’s legs anchored directly onto the seabed, supporting a deck with space for drilling rigs, production facilities and crew quarters. Such building are, by virtue of their immobility, designed for very long term use. Various types of structure are used, steel jacket, concrete caisson etc. Steel jackets are vertical sections made of tubular steel members, and are usually piled into the seabed. Fixed platforms are economically feasible for installation in water depths up to about 1,700 feet (520 m).

• Compliant Towers

This oil rigs or platforms consist of slender flexible towers and of a pile foundation supporting a conventional deck for drilling and production operations. Compliant towers are designed to sustain significant lateral deflections and forces, and are typically used in water depths ranging from 1,500 to 3,000 ft (450 to 900 m).

• Semi Submersible Platform

This type of platform have hulls (columns and pontoons) of sufficient buoyancy to cause the structure to float, but of weight sufficient to keep the structure upright. Semi-submersible platforms can be moved from place to place; can be ballasted up or down by altering the amount of flooding in buoyancy tanks; they are generally anchored by combinations of chain, wire rope and/or polyester rope during drilling and/or production operations, though they can also be kept in place by the use of dynamic positioning. Semi-submersibles oil rigs can be used in water depths from 200 to 10,000 feet (60 to 3,050 m). Read the rest of this entry »
