The meaning of 'off-shore' depends on the context.

In the oil & gas industry, 'off-shore' means marine (exploration, excavation, etc.) as opposed to 'on-shore' which means land-based. Similarly eg. wind turbines can be off-shore ie. at sea.

In the finance & legal 'off-shore' means a foreign jurisdiction or tax regime, typically one that has a relatively light tax and/or regulatory burden, eg. the Cayman Islands.

In sports, 'off-shore' boat racing or fishing means further out at sea than coastal/littoral.

Etc.

If you're talking about the petroleum industry, there's work just off the Texas & Louisiana coasts - "offshore Texas."

Offshore can mean abroad. But it also means "off the shore" - i.e in coastal waters. Other industries, professions working offshore - marine biologists, marine ecologists, sub-ocean geographers, Coast Guard, transocean cable line layers, shrimpers & fishermen, etc.

Off-shore means everything on water, I learned it from a lecture taught by a petro engineer.
