The proportion of deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico first began to outpace drilling at shallower depths in the early 1980s, figures from the U.S. Department of the Interior Minerals Management Service show.

The sudden increase in deepwater activity lends credence to the argument that oil is increasingly harder and more expensive to access.
