Many people don’t realize how diverse crude oil actually is. Did you know that over 6,000 products are made from oil? That’s right, crude oil is not just a fuel, it’s part of almost anything you touch on a daily basis.
While it hurts many to say it, offshore oil drilling is a necessity right now in order to continue the production of everyday products we rely on. We are all hoping for alternative energy sources to power our vehicles and homes, but what about the 6,000 products that are made from oil?

If you are wondering where offshore oil drilling is currently taking place in the United States, I found this nifty map that plots out all of the current gas and oil drilling leases. It’s nice to get a visual on where these drilling operations are taking place.
Keep in mind the map only covers offshore oil drilling leasing programs over the last 5 years in the Gulf of Mexico. Also, please note that state leases are not depicted in this image.
The total number of leases nationwide is 8,237 and covers a total 43,899,380 acres. That’s over 68,592 square miles!
