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 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.
