To get the oil out from under the floor of the sea. There is lots of oil buried in oil chambers beneath the sea. The only way to get this under sea oil these days is to set up a deep water oil rig.
The reason the oil is there at all is because the Earth went through a cataclysmic event in its past. The Bible calls it the Flood. Scientists, archeologists, and geologist say one or more of several massive events may have happened in the past. Scientists say there have been massive meteor impacts, giant volcano eruptions, and even a possible Polar shift that occurred in the past that caused the mass burial of many animals and plants under ground. These dead, buried animals and plant life have turned into oil and coal over the millennia to where we are now digging or pumping it out for use as fuel.

to get oil
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.
