Gulf of Mexico

Oceaneering is committed to the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), and has been since our founding over 50 years ago. We have several offices and manufacturing locations across the Gulf Coast to serve you better—from Texas to Louisiana and Florida.

History of the GoM

The U.S. GoM stretches from the eastern part of the coast of Texas to the western coast of Florida. The area is split into three regions: Central, Eastern and Western. The area has five major producing zones of significant size, ranging from the mature Plio-Pleistocene and Upper Miocene plays to the frontier Paleogene and Jurassic plays.

Unlike the shallower waters of the Gulf of Mexico (known as Shelf), reservoirs in deepwater GoM are largely oil-prone. Deepwater GoM is regarded as a favorable area for investment due to the attractive U.S. fiscal regime, low political risk, established infrastructure and growth opportunities in emerging plays. But, deepwater GoM remains a high operating cost region where intensive capital investment is required to succeed. It has also become an integral part of the U.S. energy picture. In 2018, we expect deepwater GoM to account for approximately 15% of the U.S. crude oil production and 4% of natural gas production.

These are the water depths at which we operate:

Company page Since our founding in the early 1960s, Oceaneering has expanded and grown globally to service several industries such as the offshore energy industry, defense, entertainment, material handling, aerospace, science, and renewable energy industries. In 1964, Mike Hughes and Johnny Johnson formed a Gulf of Mexico diving company called World Wide Divers. The company grew in response to increasing demand for their services and in 1969 merged with two other diving companies to form Oceaneering International, Inc. To solve the toughest challenges, we do things differently, creatively, and smarter. As your trusted partner, our unmatched experience and truly innovative portfolio of technologies and solutions give us the flexibility to adapt and evolve, regardless of market conditions. Our mission is to solve the unsolvable. We thrive by creating industry-changing technically creative solutions for the most complex operational challenges under water, on land, and in space. Our five core values establish a common culture and demonstrate what is most important for us as a company. Since the beginning, the company has transformed from a small regional diving company into a global provider of engineered products and services. Today, we develop products and services for use throughout the lifecycle of an offshore oilfield, from drilling to decommissioning. We operate the world's premier fleet of work class ROVs. Additionally, we are a leader in offshore oilfield maintenance services, umbilicals, subsea hardware, and tooling. We also serve the aerospace, defense, and theme park industries. Underpinning everything we do, safety is not only the foundation of our core values, but it is vital to our unmatched performance record and company culture. The industries we serve are as diverse as they are complex. Whether we are engineering deepwater umbilicals or developing robotics for aerospace applications, the safety and health of our employees, vendors, and customers is an integral part of our day-to-day business. If we are working, then our responsibility is to be working safely. Since our inception in 1964, we have placed a high value on employee safety—from diving services and subsea inspection to vessel-based installation operations. We have and will continue to evolve not only our health, safety, and environmental (HSE) processes, but those of the industries in which we work. Although we have been fatality-free since 1999, our HSE journey goes beyond statistics. As our portfolio of services has grown, we have continued to prioritize and advance our approach to HSE.
