Clark, J; Zinn, J; Terrell, C

The report reviews the status of oil and gas resources of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) starting with the demand for energy resources and leading to the current national program to develop offshore oil and gas. It discusses the specific offshore and onshore activities involved in the recovery of offshore oil and gas, and describes each of fifteen major development phases along with related activities and facilities. For each activity/facility development type, the site requirements are described, as well as construction and operation, community factors, effects on living resources and regulatory factors. Strategies used by OCS industries in making investment, location and timing decisions are emphasized. The location of oil industry activities now and in the near future of promising fields, anticipated drilling, pipelines and refineries are discussed.
