The first deepest and farthest oil drill was built in the Gulf of Mexico in 1947. Today oil drilling platforms resemble floating cities with hundreds of people living and working on it. These drilling platforms have all the facilities that are available on land. Moreover they have oil drilling facilities that explore oil 4000 feet into the depths.

World’s Deepest Oil Development. The deepest floating oil rig is the Perdido oil rig operated by Shell Oil Company in the Gulf of Mexico about 200 miles south of Galveston, Texas. The Perdido fold belt is one of the larger discoveries of crude oil and natural gas and the field lies under nearly 8,000 feet (2450m) of ocean.

11) The Gulf of Mexico was the site of a large oil spill that occurred on April 22, 2010, when an oil drilling platform, the Deepwater Horizon, suffered an explosion and sank into the Gulf about 50 miles (80 km) from Louisiana. Eleven people died in the explosion and an estimated 5,000 barrels of oil per day leaked into the Gulf of Mexico from the 18,000-foot (5,486 m) well on the platform. An oil platform, offshore platform, or offshore drilling rig is a large structure with facilities for well drilling to explore, extract, store, and process petroleum and natural gas that lies in rock formations beneath the seabed. Many oil platforms will also contain facilities to accommodate their workforce. At The End Of The Earth: The Longest, Deepest Oil Wells In The World . By Noreen Malone. August 1, 2011.
