No, It was Edwin Drake.
Oil deposits were found beneath the ocean, too far from the shore to drill from the land. Eventually someone had the bright idea to go and produce these rigs that drill at sea and the first oil rig was born. So, oil rigs were invented to pump the oil located beneath the sea bed far from shore.
They are completely different engines; however, the most fundamental difference is that the Watt steam engine runs on steam, whereas the internal combustion engine runs on fuel oil.
Edwin Drake invented the oil drill and drilled the first oil well in history. By the time he died, Drake had drilled two more wells.
