The U.S. Government does not drill for oil. They sell the rights to the oil companies. Beyond the 3 mile limit, you are in the territorial waters of the U.S.A. but the distance is not unlimited, then you get into international waters.

Your premise of the ';we'; is wrong! The ';we'; is not 'you' or 'me', the ';we'; is the American Public in general, not any one person specifically.
Governemnts routinely claim a 50 mile boundry from their coastlines.
