自从世界上第一座海上平台建立起来,它就一直被认为具有巨大的科学潜力。在翠西哥湾,科学研究始于1954年,几年之后第一座海上平台就在湾内远海区耸立起来。科学研究活动今日不仅在墨西哥湾,而且在全球海区如南中国海、加拿大东岸海域、北海、安达曼海、尼日利亚近海和南设得兰群岛等地的 It has been considered as having great scientific potential since the world’s first offshore platform was established. In the Gulf of Mexico, scientific research began in 1954, and a few years later the first offshore platform stood up in the far offshore bay. Scientific research activities not only today in the Gulf of Mexico, but also in the global maritime areas such as the South China Sea, the eastern coast of Canada, the North Sea, the Andaman Sea, the offshore Nigeria and the South Shetland Islands
