Middle Miocine - Pliocene (13.82-2.58 million years ago)
The granodiorite boulder is visually striking rock composed of minerals like quartz, plagioclase feldspar, biotite, and hornblende. It has a porphyritic structure with larger crystal (phenocryst) within a finer- grained matrix (groundmass), reflecting a complex crystallization process. This rock has fascinating geological history spanning from the Middle Miocene to the Pliocene, approximately 13.82 to 2.58 million years ag
JACK UP PLATFORM
A jack-up platform, also known as a jack-up rig, is a type of mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) used primarily in shallow waters (typically up to 400 feet or 120 meters). These platforms are widely used for oil and gas exploration, drilling, and production. The key feature of a jack-up platform is its ability to "jack up" its legs, lifting the platform above the sea level to provide a stable working environment
