The invention of offshore platforms is often attributed to the work of engineers and companies in the oil industry during the mid-20th century. One notable figure is George P. Mitchell, who pioneered the use of offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico in the 1940s. His efforts, along with those of others in the industry, led to the development of the first successful offshore oil platforms, revolutionizing oil extraction from beneath the sea.
