No, not at all. Offshore only started when onshore became more difficult to find.

What are the differences of the offshore and onshore dichotomy?
Onshore/offshore dichotomy is way of allocating the revenue accrued from exploitation and exploration of crude oil. Such revenue is divided into onshore revenue (revenue accrued from oil drilled onshore (on land) and offshore revenue (accrued from oil drilled from littoral zone).The dichotomy implies the revenue from offshore crude belong to a sovereign nation and not to the coastal communities, and thus must be shared among the states that make up the nation, while onshore revenue belongs to the coastal communities (termed oil producing communities) on which land the crude is drilled.
What is the difference between onshore and offshore drilling?
onshore is oil well drilled on land. offshore is oil well drilled in sea/ocean.
Where is oil sold that is drilled offshore US sold?
Oiled drilled offshore in the US, is sold to the World Market.
Would oil drilled offshore the US belong to us or to the oil companies?
The drilled oil belongs to whoever owns the specific oil rig.
How is petroleum removed from the earth?
Oil is produced by wells. Oil wells are drilled on land and offshore in locations likely to contain oil.
What is offshore oil potential?
I'm not sure if you are asking what "offshore oil potential" means or what the "offshore oil potential" actually is in economic projection. But I will answer it both ways. "Offshore oil potential" basically means the possible or projected quantity of crude oil located beneath the ocean floor that will be produced by a defined entity in a defined region. Offshore crude oil output accounts for almost one-third of the world's oil production. At this stage, offshore is the only growing segment of the oil industry. It is without doubt the new oil and gas frontier as onshore production has only decreased in the last 20 years. What the exact potential is, I wish I knew the answer..
Does oil drilled in the US stay in the US?
No. The US exports crude oil. It also imports around 50% of the refined oil (e.g., petroleum) that it consumes.
How much oil comes from off shore oil platforms?
According to an internet search, about 30% of the world's crude oil production comes from offshore rigs.
What is an offshore platform and how is it different an onshore drilling rig?
An offshore platform is a structure that is installed over as group of wells that was drilled by an offshore drilling rig. The function of the platform is to produce the oil from these wells. A platform can be mounted to the seabed or could be a floating type platform. Offshore drilling rigs are for drilling the wells and are mobile and moved from area to area. Onshore drilling rigs are mobile units too and are moved from pad to pad for drilling and exploration. After a well is drilled onshore, a wellhead is installed on the well. There is no need for a platform as this only economically viable in offshore applications. There have been cases where an offshore well was drilled from land into the sea, but operated from land. This can only be possible if the oil formation is not too far offshore.
An oil well is usually drilled into?
An oil well is usually drilled into underground rock formations, specifically into geological structures that contain oil reserves. These formations are typically sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone or limestone, which have trapped and preserved oil over millions of years. The drilling process allows for the extraction of crude oil from these reservoirs.
How do you produce in Saudi Arabia?
Your question is incomplete, but Saudi Arabia is the largest producer of crude oil in the world. The oil is drilled from underground, primarily in the Eastern Province
How many counties in Oklahoma have oil wells drilled?
