KLP, Mobile Offshore Oil Rigs (MODUS) are tracked by submarines and given a wide safety margin. Their position is updated daily at the NGA website here... nga.mil There's a high level effort to automate the process of plotting their position on an ECDIS-N system, however, currently it's a manually process and not all countries are participating in the effort. Errors frequently occur, as some companies fear competitors learning of their drilling location, especially off the coast of Nigeria. Safely navigating worldwide underwater is a complex process involving a multitude of different sources of information. Hope this helps a bit...
