Couple of pictures of an onshore oil rig. Lots of specimens can be found in and around Baku, both in working and not working condition. There are onshore fields in Baku with hundreds of rigs, majority of them not working now. Dating back to the good old Soviet times, these fields have become the burial grounds of rusting steel. It is currently an environmental disaster with fields full of oil, and corroding steel. It is high time that the Azerbaijan Government spend a small portion of the oil money to clean up this environmental mess.
