Oil Rigs

Gulf Coast Offshore Oil Platform Maps

   Below are free pdf maps of the major locations of the 6659 active and removed  oil platforms, of which 819 are still fully manned. These maps cover the Gulf Coast oil rigs and offshore pipelines of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.  Many of these platforms and oil rigs were either sunk or set adrift after hurricane Katrina and Rita struck this area of the gulf in August/Sept. 2005. The Gulf of Mexico normally pumps about 1.5 million barrels per day (bpd) of US crude, a quarter of domestic output and equivalent to nearly 2 percent of global oil production. As we now know, any disruption to this area can cause oil prices to dramatically increase. 

Larger more detailed maps with seafloor Bathymetry and DEM Shaded Relief data can be custom made for your needs.
