The Gulf of Mexico is at the moment the most intensely developed region in the world for offshore oil and gas production. About 4,000 offshore oil and gas platforms and about 175 drilling rigs dot the shelf, slope, and deepwater regions of the Gulf and account for about 90% of America`s offshore production. The development of 3-D seismic imaging has sparked a race for acreage ownership in the Gulf and for pushing exploration technology to the limits.
