Offshore Oil Growth Drives Global Production Rise
Offshore production accounts for about 18 percent of world oil output with steady growth. Strong expansion abroad is fueled by large high potential regions such as the Persian Gulf, offshore Indonesia, West Africa coasts, the North Sea, the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean. Domestic leasing revived after the 1970 Western Louisiana offshore sale, with Interior Department plans for lease sales through 1975 ensuring ongoing offshore activity. Energy demand in the 1970s is rising rapidly, potentially near crisis levels as global consumption grows.
