The density of water is \rho _{w}=1000\ kg\ m^{-3}

Depth of the ocean is 3 km

The pressure at the bottom of the ocean would be

\\P=\rho _{w}gh\\ P=1000\times 9.8\times 3\times 1000 \\P=2.94\times 10^{7}Pa

The above value is much lesser than the maximum stress the structure can withstand and therefore it is suitable for putting up on top of an oil well in the ocean.
