Well a lot of the tech that allowed tight oil fields to be profitable like multi-lateral pad drilling, micro-seismic, infrasonic, and radiation well analysis, electric drills, CO2 fracking fluid,  pumps with better gas separation is now being applied to offshore and onshore conventional wells with interesting results

I think you will find that any 'cutting edge' technology was initiated and developed offshore and then perhaps applied to the shale game.

When your daily spreadcosts are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars per day, you tend to put money into R&D to maximize your return on investment.

Multi-lateral 'pad' drilling? You sort of have to do this when you are forced to drill multiple wells from a single offshore platform...
