Offshore oil and gas exploration contributes to global energy supplies. Still, it also poses significant environmental challenges, particularly concerning its impact on onshore climate patterns. This paper reviews how offshore oil and gas activities contribute to alterations in coastal and onshore climates, examining both direct emissions and broader environmental effects. By analyzing case studies from different regions, such as the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, and exploring policy frameworks and mitigation strategies, this review provides an in-depth understanding of the implications of offshore exploration on climate and ecosystems. The paper concludes by highlighting the need for sustainable practices to minimize these impacts
