Around 1891, the first submerged oil wells were drilled from platforms built on piles in the fresh waters of the Grand Lake St. Marys (a.k.a. Mercer County Reservoir) in Ohio. The wide but shallow reservoir was built from 1837 to 1845 to provide water to the Miami and Erie Canal.
1891年左右，第一口水下油井出现在了俄亥俄州圣玛丽大湖（又名默瑟县水库）的淡水水域上，它是以建设在木桩之上的平台为基础进行钻探。这个宽阔但很浅的水库建设于1837年至1845年，主要用于为迈阿密和伊利运河提供水资源。
Around 1896, the first submerged oil wells in salt water were drilled in the portion of the Summerland field extending under the Santa Barbara Channel in California. The wells were drilled from piers extending from land out into the channel.
1896年左右，第一口盐水水下油井在加利福尼亚圣巴巴拉海峡延的萨默兰地区钻探成功。该井通过从陆地延伸进入海峡的桥墩实现钻探。

Other notable early submerged drilling activities occurred on the Canadian side of Lake Erie in the 1900s and Caddo Lake in Louisiana in the 1910s. Shortly thereafter, wells were drilled in tidal zones along the Gulf Coast of Texas and Louisiana. The Goose Creek field near Baytown, Texas is one such example. In the 1920s, drilling was done from concrete platforms in Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela.
其他值得注意的早期水下钻探活动还包括20世纪初伊利湖的加方地区和20世纪10年代路易斯安那州的卡多湖地区的钻探。此后不久，水下钻探开始向沿得克萨斯州和路易斯安那州的沿岸潮间带发展。得克萨斯州贝敦附近的鹅溪气田就是这样一个例子。到20世纪20年代，委内瑞拉马拉开波湖地区的水下钻探已经实现了混凝土平台的建设。
The oldest subsea well recorded in database is the Bibi Eibat well which came on stream in 1923 in Azerbaijan. Landfill was used to raise shallow portions of the Caspian Sea.
在Infield's offshore数据库中有关海底钻井的最早记录是1923年在阿塞拜疆其正式投产Bibi Eibat井。此井为升高里海的浅海海底高度而采用了填埋的方法。
In the early 1930s, the Texas Company developed the first mobile steel barges for drilling in the brackish coastal areas of the gulf.
到20世纪30年代初，德州公司在海湾的沿海地区建造出第一台移动式钻井钢驳船。
In 1937, Pure Oil Company (now part of Chevron Corporation) and its partner Superior Oil Company (now part of ExxonMobil Corporation) used a fixed platform to develop a field in 14 feet (4.3 m) of water, one mile (1.6 km) offshore of, Louisiana.
在1937年，纯油公司（现为雪佛龙公司的一部分）和它的合作伙伴高级石油公司（现为埃克森美孚公司的一部分）在路易斯安那州Calcasieu Parish开发了一个固定的平台，建设于14英尺深的水中（4.3米），离岸距离一英里（1.6公里）的水域。
In 1946, Magnolia Petroleum Company (now part of ExxonMobil) erected a drilling platform in 18 ft (5.5 m) of water, 18 miles off the coast of St. Mary Parish, Louisiana.
1946年，厚朴石油公司（现属埃克森美孚）在路易斯安那州St. Mary Parish海岸水深18英尺水（5.5 M）、离岸18英里处搭建起一个钻井平台。
In early 1947, Superior Oil erected a drilling/production platform in 20 ft (6.1 m) of water some 18 miles off Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. But it was Kerr-McGee Oil Industries (now Anadarko Petroleum Corporation), as operator for partners Phillips Petroleum (ConocoPhillips) and Stanolind Oil & Gas (BP), that completed its historic Ship Shoal Block 32 well in October 1947, months before Superior actually drilled a discovery from their Vermilion platform farther offshore. In any case, that made Kerr-McGee's well the first oil discovery drilled out of sight of land.
在1947年初，高级石油公司在路易斯安那州Vermilion Parish水深20英尺水（6.1米）、离岸18英里处搭建起一个钻井/生产平台。作为菲利普斯石油公司（康菲公司）和Stanolind石油与天然气公司（BP）的运营商的合作伙伴，科麦奇石油工业公司（现阿纳达科石油公司）在1947年10月完成了具有历史意义的Ship Shoal Block 32井，领先于高级石油公司所建的离岸更远的Vermilion平台数月之久。无论如何，这使得科麦奇公司油井成为第一个于视线之外的土地上钻探成功的石油钻探发现。
Beginning of the Offshore Industry
The British Maunsell Forts constructed during World War II are considered the direct predecessors of modern offshore platforms. Having been pre-constructed in a very short time, they were then floated to their location and placed on the shallow bottom of the Thames and the Mersey estuary.
在第二次世界大战期间建造的英国茂盛堡垒被认为是现代海上平台的前身。在一个很短的时间内完成其预先构造部分，然后将它们在浮动到既定的位置，并放置在泰晤士河和默西河口浅海底部。
