deep sea ocean colonization technology wilfried ellmer

.

Deep sea ocean colonization will happen for a series of reasons ranging from oil/gas, mining, energy, seafood, to tourism. The deep sea and the the water column above it is the only space mankind can take on as "new frontier" before going for the last frontier - space colonization.

In the same way as earlier frontiers in history - the silk route trade frontier, the spice oceanic trade frontier, the american fronier, each frontier triggers a development boost, and is driven by new technological developments, like the sailship, and the railway, each frontier brings up a new kind of company and economic activity like the East India Company, Standard Oil, and the Railway Companies.

Today oil/gas companies are already on their way to develop the oceanic frontier with new technology like the floating production platforms in the Brasilian presalt region or the floating development of australian Gas Fields.

As we have seen "platforms on stilts" bringing land drilling instalations to shallow waters, have been the first step - but they are replaced by floating structures now that can work far from shore.

Concrete Shell and Honeycomb structures are leading the field, (Troll A, Nkossa, etc)

A tubular concrete structure with positive buoyancy can reach a depth of 1400m, Troll A is operating at 300m for decades. More installations and finally floating worker accomodations, developing into settlements will follow.

The visions of Jules Verne are on the brink of becomming a reality.
