The Gulf of Mexico refers to an economically important basin with a long history of hydrocarbon exploration. It is a region that has been the subject of debate due to limited data and proprietary industry information, but collaborative efforts between industry and academia are essential for understanding its formation.
Jan 1, 2004 · The Gulf's drainage system covers more than 60% of the US and more than 40% of Mexico, with a coastline of 2934 km in the US and 3200 km—including the Caribbean littoral—in Mexico. The Exclusive Economic Zones of three countries, USA, Mexico and Cuba, converge in the Gulf.
Jan 5, 2022 · The Gulf of Mexico is an economically important basin with more than a century-long history of hydrocarbon exploration. However, the opening of the basin remains debated for two reasons: 1) the quality of data does not allow for reliable interpretations of crustal features beneath thick and complex overburden, and 2) most industry well and ...
Jan 1, 2022 · The Gulf of Mexico is an isolated oceanic basin whose nature, structure and age are not fully elucidated, mostly because seafloor spreading isochrons have not been identified in this basin so far. We compiled and processed all publicly available marine magnetic data to produce a new magnetic anomaly map of the Gulf of Mexico.
Dec 1, 2020 · Here, we show how mapping Louann salt bodies using a multi-z tool can enhance salt-geometry visualization and interpretation in the Gulf of Mexico to better understand salt tectonics.
Jun 1, 2007 · To constrain the constitutive response of deepwater Gulf of Mexico salt diapirs, the mineralogic composition of salt diapirs from several regions, including Ship Shoal, Ewing Bank, Mississippi Canyon, Garden Banks, Green Canyon, and Walker Ridge, was determined by quantitative X-ray diffraction analyses of drill cuttings.
Feb 1, 2022 · Salt in the Gulf of Mexico largely hampers the imaging and interpretation of underlying pre-salt and crustal geometries, which are fundamental for assessing the early kinematic evolution of the margin.
Jun 1, 2022 · The V/Cr, Ni/Co, Cu/Zn, and V/Cr elemental ratios indicated an oxic depositional environment for the Gulf of Mexico deep sea area. In addition, the geochemistry data indicated a passive margin setting, which is consistent with the geology of the Gulf of Mexico. The trace and rare earth element concentrations, and Eu anomaly indicated that the sediments were derived from the natural erosion of ...
Dec 15, 2018 · Our review focuses on mangrove forests in the three countries that border the Gulf of Mexico: United States, Mexico, and Cuba. Our overarching aim is to synthesize understanding of the historical and anticipated future responses of Gulf of Mexico mangrove forests to temperature change, precipitation change, accelerated sea-level rise, tropical cyclone intensification, elevated atmospheric ...
Apr 1, 2007 · Sea-level records from the Gulf of Mexico at the Last Glacial Maximum, 20 ka, are up to 35 m higher than time-equivalent sea-level records from equatorial regions. The most popular hypothesis for explaining this disparity has been uplift due to the forebulge created by loading from Mississippi River sediments. Using over 50 new radiocarbon dates as well as existing published data obtained from ...
