Probably inevitable.
Offshore versus onshore drilling is drilling for oil in the sea, usually an ocean, but can also be a lake.
Yes, minorly, it is drilling mud.

onshore is oil well drilled on land. offshore is oil well drilled in sea/ocean.

It is difficult to provide an exact amount as it depends on numerous factors such as the location, depth of the reservoir, and the efficiency of drilling technology. Offshore drilling can produce significant amounts of oil, but the actual quantity will vary from project to project.
Offshore drilling began in 1897 when a well was drilled off the coast of Petrolia, California. This pioneering effort marked the start of extracting oil from beneath the ocean, leading to significant developments in the oil industry. The technology and techniques from this early venture laid the groundwork for modern offshore drilling operations.
Onshore oil is a nickname for oil that is obtained through oil drilling that is completely on land, as opposed to offshore oil, which is collected from drilling under the seafloor with floating oil rigs.

it is good because we are so dipendent on foreign oil
Offshore drilling involves drilling for oil or gas beneath the seabed, typically in bodies of water like oceans or seas. It requires specialized equipment and platforms that can withstand harsh marine environments. On the other hand, drilling on land involves drilling for oil or gas beneath the Earth's surface on solid ground, with less environmental challenges compared to offshore drilling.
