Offshore drilling takes place in various bodies of water, primarily in continental shelf areas of oceans and seas. Major regions for offshore drilling include the Gulf of Mexico, the North Sea, and the Coastlines of countries like Brazil, Nigeria, and Australia. These sites are typically selected for their potential oil and gas reserves beneath the seabed. Drilling operations can occur at varying depths, from shallow waters to deep offshore locations.
The population of Diamond Offshore Drilling is 4,200.

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.
yes, he was for it first and then like mccain stole the democrat theme of change he claimed all of a sudden he to was for offshore drilling.
