The paper is to explain what, when, why, who, and where in correlation to the evolution of the U.S. Offshore Gas and Oil Industry. I have an outline and research objective summary for the paper to assist the writer in the direction I want the paper to go. Also, I didn’t discuss this in the research objective or outline but I would like the paper to discuss the offshore supply vessel and drillship companies. To elaborate on that mention the oil companies, which have pushed for drilling in U.S. waters.
