The state of Louisiana issued its first offshore oil and gas lease in 1936, and the following year the Pure Oil Company discovered the first Louisiana offshore oil field, the Creole Field, 1.2 miles (1.9 km) from the shore of Cameron Parish, from a platform built on timber pilings in 10-to-15-foot-deep (3.0 to 4.6 m) water.
The list is incomplete; there are more than 25,000 oil and gas fields of all sizes in the world. [1] However, 94% of known oil is concentrated in fewer than 1,500 giant and major fields. [ 2 ] Most of the world's largest oilfields are located in the Middle East , but there are also supergiant (>10 billion bbls ) oilfields in Brazil, Mexico ...

The wells were developed by small local companies such as Bryson, Riley Oil, German-American and Banker's Oil. [2]
An offshore platform is usually a large structure with facilities to extract and process petroleum and natural gas that lie in rock formations beneath the seabed. Many platforms also have facilities to accommodate the workers, although it is also common to have a separate accommodation platform bridge linked to the production platform.
