The most challenging oil to drill for is often considered to be offshore deepwater oil, particularly in ultra-deepwater locations beyond 1,500 feet. These drilling operations require advanced technology, substantial investment, and face risks such as harsh environmental conditions and complex geological formations. Additionally, oil sands and shale oil can also be difficult and expensive to extract due to their viscous nature and the need for specialized extraction methods.
