Gulf of Mexico - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
2011年4月4日 · 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.
Opening of the Gulf of Mexico: What we know, what questions …
2022年1月5日 · The Gulf of Mexico is an ocean basin flanked by the continental United States to the north, Mexico to the west and south, and Cuba to the southeast. Tectonic initiation of the Gulf of Mexico began in the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic as continental rifting associated with the breakup of Pangea (Dickinson et al., 2010; Huerta and Harry, 2012 ...

Opening of the Gulf of Mexico: What we know, what questions …
2022年1月5日 · 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 ...
Multiple evidence for methylotrophic methanogenesis as the …
2016年8月15日 · Similarly, hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis was also not detected in hydrogen-replete brine pools in the Gulf of Mexico (Joye et al., 2009), indicating that hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis might be limited by factors other than hydrogen concentrations or might generally be suppressed in hypersaline habitats (as previously suggested by Oren, 1999).
3D mapping of intruding salt bodies in the subsurface of the Gulf …
2020年12月1日 · The most extensive salt tectonic study in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico has been Bouroullec et al. (2017 a, 2017 b), looking at salt geometries and spatial variation of salt distribution. Bouroullec et al. (2017 a) identified three provinces within the northeastern Gulf of Mexico using primarily 2D seismic data. Within the eastern province ...
Sequence stratigraphy of the Miocene section, southern Gulf of …
2017年9月1日 · The resultant Paleogene clastic sedimentation in the southern Gulf of Mexico, the Chiapas Massif still produced large volumes of sediments deposited in large depocenters, whereas in the Yucatan Block the deposition of shallow water carbonates continued (Padilla y Sánchez, 2007). In the study area, the Miocene succession is mainly sand-prone ...
Sea-level history of the Gulf of Mexico since the Last Glacial …
2007年4月1日 · The other dates from similar studies conducted across the Gulf of Mexico were also used to supplement the new data and better establish the misfit between the “global” eustatic records of Fairbanks (1989), Bard et al. (1996), and others and the Gulf of Mexico sea-level indicators (Fig. 1a).
