Floating Production Storage
Floating Production Storage and Offtake facility Shorty.
Basically an oil tanker anchored to the ocean floor which gets oil from the ground, processes it, stores it and offloads when a buyer hooks up. You could paddle up and get a few litres in ya yak.

which one, Enfield? Vincent?
which one, Enfield? Vincent? or Stybarrow, sorry i can't spell the aboriginal names for the enfield and vincent ones, struggle to pronounce them as it is. You won't enjoy it when the swell is in and the chopper can't land!
Had that happen once and missed the connecting flight, needless to say the Potshot got hammered and the corporate credit card got a touch up!!
Still freaks me that you can see land and you're in 600m of water. I got 130km offshore and i'm still in 80m
