the international community generally deeper than 300 meters of the domain of oil and gas resources is defined as a deep-water oil and gas, known as ultra-deep water above 1500 m water depth. In the rich offshore oil and gas resources in deep water and ultra deep water resources account for 30-40% of all marine resources. In recent years, major exploration discovery in the world, 50% from the ocean, mainly in deep waters. Deep waters has become an important oil and gas exploration and development to succeed in the international region.
