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.
Maryland does not have any offshore oil rigs extracting oil from its waters. Oil drilling in Maryland is prohibited due to environmental concerns and the state's focus on promoting renewable energy sources.
Oil can be extracted from the sea through offshore drilling platforms, where drilling equipment is used to access oil reservoirs beneath the seabed. The extracted oil is then brought to the surface through pipes and stored on the platform before being transported to shore for processing. Measures are taken to prevent oil spills and minimize environmental impact during the extraction process.
Fuel is extracted from the ground or seabed through drilling wells into underground reservoirs where oil or natural gas is trapped. Specialized equipment is used to pump the fuel to the surface where it can then be processed and refined for use. Offshore drilling platforms are also used to extract fuel from beneath the seabed.
Drilling for oil on land is usually cheaper than drilling under the seabed due to several factors. On land, the infrastructure costs are lower, as there is no need for specialized equipment, platforms, or pipelines. Additionally, the depth and pressure of the reservoirs under the seabed can be much higher, requiring more complex and expensive drilling techniques. The harsh marine environment also leads to increased operational and maintenance costs for offshore drilling.
Lithium mining and oil drilling both have environmental impacts, but lithium mining is generally considered to have a lower impact on the environment compared to oil drilling.
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.

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.
Probably inevitable.

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

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
