With this has come the need to explore and drill for oil in areas such as the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). Superstructure icing from sea spray, snow, glaze, frost, and sleet has become a problem for these types of industries and can have a major impact on their operations. With the use of old and new technologies, icing effects can either be mitigated, reduced, or even eliminated. The technologies that have been researched originate from the aviation industry, the electric power industry, and ground transportation systems, including the use of chemicals (NaCl, CaCl₂, MgCl₂, and KCl), coatings, improved structural design, high-velocity fluids, heat, infrared energy, and manual deicing. Accordingly, the available literature is analyzed to identify research methods and technologies employed and to determine the conclusions reached by each study. The expected results will identify technologies effective in mitigating icing effects on platforms and determine the most effective solutions for reducing their impact. This analysis accounts for a variety of factors, including diverse platform designs that may respond differently to icing conditions. https://ijoh.tums.ac.ir/index.php/ijoh/article/view/569 https://ijoh.tums.ac.ir/index.php/ijoh/article/download/569/823
