Dubious tag

So, it appears that the first "offshore" oil well may have been dug in Azerbaijan anywhere from 1798-1830. See: http://www.members.tripod.com/azmsa/oil.html and http://azer.com/aiweb/categories/magazine/ai102_folder/102_articles/102_oil_chronology.html

What's the real deal? Guy1890 (talk) 01:29, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is onshore and as soon as I know it was the first drilling for oil worldwide, using percussion drilling. The year seems to be 1844 or 1846, both dates are mentioned on different webpages. Later they simply filled the bay and made it "onshore" as well. Riannek (talk) 20:39, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
