"Offshore Drilling Industry in the Americas to 2015 - New Deepwater Discoveries and Stringent Offshore Regulations Affecting the Future Industry Outlook"
The major offshore oil and gas fields in the Americas are the Gulf of Mexico, off the US coast, the Newfoundland and Nova Scotia oil fields off the Canadian coastline, the Gulf of Mexico off the Mexican coast, and the Campos and Santos Basins off the coast of Brazil. The offshore basins of the islands of Trinidad and Tobago are rich in natural gas reserves. The Carina Aries and Perla oil field shallow water blocks off the Argentine and Venezuelan coasts, respectively, are abundant in natural gas reserves.
Other countries in the Americas which have offshore drilling investment potential are Suriname, the Falkland Islands, Uruguay, Cuba, Peru and Ecuador. Recent exploration attempts in the search for oil and gas reserves have indicated the potential oil and gas reserves in these countries.
Hectic shallow water activity off the South and Central American coasts are expected in the period 2010-15, as a result of previous as well as expected exploration investments off the coasts of Brazil, Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, and newer regions such as Falkland Islands and Suriname.

On May 30, 2010, in response to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, popularly known as the BP oil spill, which occurred in the Gulf of Mexico, the US Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar, issued a moratorium on all deepwater offshore drilling on the outer continental shelf for a period of six months. According to the Obama administration, the immediate stalling of offshore drilling operations was necessary to protect the American environment, and to "provide time to implement new safety requirements" and allow a new commission charged with investigating the leak to do its work. Deepwater oil production in the Gulf was allowed to continue, albeit under closer oversight and with tighter safety requirements, even as the drilling and instigation of any new wells was halted.
