The Safueiro Tripod oil platform, offshore Angola in the Essungo oil field, Block 2 Angola.

Taken from the DOF owned survey vessel M/V Geograph. The Safueiro tripod is currently being decommissioned, hence the need to illuminate the platform during survey with the Geographs floodlights.

The Geograph was used for pipeline survey between the decommissioned rig and the Essungo platform.
