Oil rigs which are close enough to shore to have pipe lines to get the oil to shore have underwater cables to get power to the rig because it is cheaper (and quieter) than running generators on the rigs. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en%26amp;clien鈥?/a>


Those that use tankers to remove oil are forced to generate power although some use wave action generators for part of their supply. (maybe not yet when I went looking for references)


This site says wind power is also used http://solveclimate.com/blog/20080625/ch鈥?/a>How do people on ocean based oil rigs obtain electricity? HELP PLEASE, FOR A WHOLE DAY PROJECT AT SCHOOL =[?
