Cons of Oil Drilling. One of the major negative impacts of oil drilling is the environmental issue. If oil production rate is higher, then there will be more usage, thus generating more greenhouse gases. Moreover, it is obvious that the drilling process will disturb the organisms (plants and animals) living in those areas. Apart from simply stopping the drilling, there are ways to guard against some of the negative environmental impacts of offshore oil drilling: Apply a thorough environmental assessment process before beginning the oil exploration. For projects in ecologically sensitive areas, sophisticated analyses will be required.
