    After the joke I still had to look it up. There are two types: towers and floaters.

    The tower rigs are built in shallow water on a seabed foundation (like a building) and can reach heights of 200+ feet above sea level with 60-100 feet of the tower submerged.

    The floating ones are only 30-60 feet above sea level and 60-100 feet of mostly pontoons below (like an iceberg) and are further stabilized using cables or computer-controlled thrusters.

    So my guess is the one in the photo is a tower one, but that may not be rig(ht).
