[pdf] Offshore drilling is a mechanical process where a wellbore is drilled below the seabed. It is typically carried out in order to explore for and subsequently extract petroleum that lies in rock formations beneath the seabed. Most commonly, the term is used to describe drilling activities on the continental shelf, though the term can also be applied to drilling in lakes, inshore waters and inland seas. Of. HistoryAround 1891, the first submerged oil wells were drilled from platforms built on piles in the fresh waters of the in . The wells were developed by small local companies such as Bryson, Riley Oil, G. .
