Offshore Oil and Gas

Offshore drilling is a mechanical process in which a wellbore is drilled below the seabed. It is typically carried out in order to explore for and subsequently extract petroleum which lies in rock formations beneath the seabed. Active offshore drilling is currently limited to sites off Alaska, southern California, Louisiana, and Texas.

Below are publications and resources meant to provide information about offshore drilling and its possible environmental and economic impacts on the southeast.
