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.

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 ...

2008年1月1日 · The Gulf of Mexico basin was created by an episode of crustal extension and sea-floor spreading during the Mesozoic breakup of Pangea (Salvador, 1987; Sawyer et al., 1991; Buffler and Thomas, 1994; Harry and Londono, 2004; Jacques and Clegg, 2002). Origin of the basin is reflected in the distribution and nature of the basement crust (Figure 2 ...

2019年1月1日 · The Gulf of Mexico opened as a Late Triassic-Mid Jurassic continental rift that was first largely covered by the Mid-Jurassic Louann Salt and later split apart by a triangular-shaped oceanic crust. Salt in the Gulf of Mexico largely hampers the imaging and interpretation of underlying pre-salt and crustal geometries, which are fundamental for ...

2006年8月24日 · Results from these measurements are compared to previously determined calcium carbonate percentages, and clay and hematite influx trajectories into the Gulf of Mexico for the same samples reported by Balsam and Beeson [Balsam, W.L. and Beeson, J.P., 2003. Sea-floor sediment distribution in the Gulf of Mexico, Deep-Sea Res. I, 50, 1421–1444.].

2004年1月1日 · The Gulf of Mexico is a shared resource at risk, with the following major problems: (a) freshwater use and shortage, (b) pollution, (c) habitat modification, (d) unsustainable exploitation of living resources, (e) global change (sea level rise, temperature increase and change in rainfall patterns), (f) public education, and (g) lack 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 ...

2019年1月1日 · The Gulf of Mexico (GOM) is a marginal sea of the Atlantic Ocean bordered by five states of the United States on the northern and the eastern border, five Mexican states on its western and southern border, and Cuba to the southeast (Fig. 18.1).

2019年1月1日 · Pollution within the Gulf of Mexico is comparable to levels in the Greater Caribbean and Western Atlantic (Hyland et al., 2003; Jambeck et al., 2015). Although natural petrochemical seeps are present within the Gulf of Mexico, hundreds of minor and major petrochemical accidents and spills have occurred over the past several decades (Turner and ...

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 ...
