1.1.1 The technical evolution of the offshore exploration


Scores of other venturers copied the pier and derrick technique along the California coast over the next ten years. At one, the Elwood field, the piers extended 1800 feet from the shore, and still reached a water depth of only 30 feet (9.1m). Not until 1932 did the Indian Oil Company courageously build a stand-alone platform in the shallow Pacific Ocean waters off Rincon California.

1.1.1 The technical evolution of the offshore exploration

Most petrohistorians trace offshore exploration and production to Summerland, California. In 1897, at this idyllic-sounding spot just southeast of Santa Barbara, Summerland's founder, a spiritualist and sometimes wildcatter, H. L. Williams, boldly inched into the surf. With oil seeping from the ground back for hundreds of yards from the water's edge, Williams skipped the exploration stage and immediately build three wooden piers some 450 Yard out from the shoreline. Water depths reached 35 feet (Fig 1-1).
1.1 Introduction to Sea loads and platform motions

Operating in oceans or seas—offshore— presents special problems to oil producers that they do not have to face on land sites. The intention of this unit is to provide the basic information on wave, current, wind, and ice that is needed to evaluate the sea load and platform motions on finding, producing, and transporting oil and gas.


In 1907, J. B. McCann, a scout for Gulf Oil Corporation [3], mulled over maps of the Lake Caddo area and thought about the gassy province that lay below. Late one night, he used a novel tool to prove his theories. He rowed across the lake, carefully touching lighted matches to the vapors bubbling from the waters. Besides successfully avoiding self-immolation, he convinced himself and eventually W. L. Mellon in Gulf headquarters at Pittsburg, that a large oil and gas field crossed under the lake..

1.1.1 The technical evolution of the offshore exploration


Over the nest three years, he erected 20 derricks atop the piers. The power generators and other supporting equipment sat along the beachfront. Williams's crew, like most other drillers at that time, had not yet adopted drilling rigs. Instead they set a steel pipe, called a casing, from the drilling platform down through the sandy bottom. Then they used cable tools to pound their way down 455 feet to two oil sands [2].



Gulf acquired the concession to drill 8,000 acres of lake bottom and brought new techniques to the area and to the industry. Starting in 1910, they towed up the Mississippi and Red Rivers a floating pile driver, a fleet of supply boats, and barges of derricks, boilers, and generators. In the lake, they drove pilings by using the abundant cypress trees felled along the shoreline. Atop they built platforms for their derricks and pipe racks. Each drilling/production platform had its own derrick and gas-driven generator. Each pumped production down a 3inch diameter steel flowline laid along the lake bottom to separation and gathering stations atop other platforms.

In the area around Lake Caddo in East Texas over the years following 1900, wildcatters searching for oil continually stumbled on pockets of associated natural gas-the chagrin of most. Gas cost much more to transport and required large discoveries and dense populations to create a market. Only one out of three of these conditions appealed to an East Texas wildcatter.
