Article

Deepwater Horizon

Portion used

Entire image. The image is likely to be of negligible commercial value to the copyright holder, being a stock photograph at low-ish resolution, that has already been widely used in illustrating newspaper and website articles related to the rig and its sister rig the Deepwater Horizon.

Low resolution?

Shrunk to 422 x 292, the smallest size at which it can be readily educational without problematic artifacts.

Purpose of use

To illustrate the entire design (including underwater section) of the Deepwater Horizon for the article on that rig. The rig itself and its appearance/design is of a high level of interest in light of the wells it drilled, including some of the deepest of the time (Tiber oilfield, 2009) and due to its pivotal role in the later explosion and resulting oil spill of 2010

Replaceable?

Not replaceable. 1/ No free image appears to exist of the Deepwater Horizons underwater section, and 2/ due to destruction no free image is capable of being taken. Once immersed, rigs like these are also not routinely removed from the water (and if they are ever removed it is exceedingly unlikely that free imagery could be obtained inside any dockyard or other location) so free imagery of the underwater section of the Deepwater Horizon or similar design is exceedingly unlikely to become available.

Other information

The identity of the rig can be seen on the high-resolution original and can be confirmed to be the Nautilus and not (as sometimes mis-captioned) the Horizon.
