History, Science, Specialized
Less than an our from downtown Houston, the world's petroleum capital, the Offshore Energy Center (OEC) operates its state-of-the-art facility.
Visitors step on board, tour the completely refurbished jackup, absorb the day-to-day excitement of offshore drilling and production, marine transportation, environmental protection, construction, pipelining--all experienced through three decks of videos, equipment exhibits and interactive displays. It's a museum, educational attraction and working drilling rig all rolled into one.
