Offshore Platforms

Presented by Exxon Mobile, this hands-on exhibit explains the logistics of offshore platforms and how they fuel our modern world. The Gulf of Mexico hosts a thriving natural gas and oil drilling industry, crucial to the global energy supply. Advanced technologies enable deep-sea exploration, tapping into previously inaccessible resources. The Gulf remains a cornerstone of energy production, driving economic growth and employment opportunities. Continued innovation and sustainable practices are imperative for navigating the complex relationship between energy demand, environmental conservation, and economic prosperity in the region.
