Well, that sucks. Surely there's oil rigs, etc outside of EEZ, does that mean anyone can set it up without approvals?

- steve19 8y agoThose are governed by international agreements and treaties, but if the Continental Shelf extends further than 200 NM (the EEZ) then states still have rights up to 350 NM for mineral and hydrocarbon extraction. I am not sure what happens further out than 350 NM but I am sure there is some UN agreement on that too. Not sure if any drilling takes place more than 350 NM.
