Origin

The origin of this level is unknown. It features typical oil rig environment including helipads, drills, cranes, tankers, multi-level platforms and elevators, which makes it hard to recognize any specific location.

In THAW Oil Rig is located near the Santa Monica. However is not clear if it is the original location of the level or it was relocated to fit the storyline.

Level modifiers

There are 5 valves in the level. If player will hit all 5 of them it will trigger the explosion at the helipad, which will spawn a huge hole in the middle.
There is huge valve on the crane. If skater will perform lip trick there, it will explode the main platform, which will unlock a hidden bowl. It is possible to get inside wihtout touching the crane.

Trivia

Havgas is the company that posesses the oil rig.
In THPS3 there is a certain area above the water that triggers the falling animation, but there is still possibility to land on the lower platform. In this case skater will keep floating on the surface until he'll reach the water.
In THAW the lower platform has expanded drastically.
