2.2 OFFSHORE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS 



Five major projects are classified as entirely or principally 

 offshore in location. These include the surveying, drilling, and 

 transportation of oil and gas from the Outer Continental Shelf to 

 shoreside facilities for storage or processing. All these projects 

 require large "front-end" expenditures and some may be marginal in- 

 vestments. Location and use of these facilities offshore control, to 

 large extent, the location and type of onshore support facilities. 



The offshore development projects presented in this section are: 



2.2.1 Geophysical Surveying 



2.2.2 Exploratory Drilling 



2.2.3 Production Drilling 



2.2.4 Pipelines 



2.2.5 Offshore Mooring and Tanker Operations
