I think underwater/submerged ground level is the qualifier, as a lot of wells in the Gulf have a derrick floor and Kelly Bushing above sea level during the drilling phase. Therefore, any well over water qualifies as an "offshore" well.

I totally made that up on the fly so take it for what it's worth.
