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.
Dec 1, 2020 · 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 ...
Dec 1, 2022 · The Gulf of Mexico (GOM) contains a wide range of ecosystems that provide important services and play a critical role in supporting the Gulf coast, United States, and international economies. For example, according to NOAA Fisheries in 2019, GOM commercial seafood landings revenue in the United States was $1.4 billion and accounted for 15% of the total national landings revenue. Of the total ...
Jun 1, 2007 · The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is the most active deepwater region in the world, with exploration rapidly advancing beyond the Sigsbee escarpment, in water depths ranging from 6000 to 10,000 ft (‘ultra-deepwater’).
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. This map reveals a ...
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 ...
Dec 15, 2018 · The Gulf of Mexico is a valuable region for advancing understanding of global change impacts to mangrove forests because, in addition to a rich legacy of ecological research, coastal wetlands in the region are abundant and span multiple ecologically-relevant abiotic gradients (López-Portillo and Ezcurra, 2002; Méndez-Alonzo et al., 2008; Day ...
Jan 1, 2017 · The Gulf of Mexico oil spill incident (also known as the Deepwater Horizon incident) is one of the world's largest offshore oil spills (BBC, 2010). BP's Gulf of Mexico oil spill has severely affected the environment in the Gulf region and the surrounding area. This incident is defined in this paper as the actual explosion and the subsequent oil ...
Jun 1, 2022 · The Papaloapan River basin (17°19° N and 95°–97° 40′ W) is the second largest hydrological basin in Mexico, drains 39,189 km 2 of catchment area before reaching the Gulf of Mexico with an annual volume of discharge of 39,175 km 3. The Papaloapan River flows into the Gulf of Mexico through the Alvarado lagoon, Veracruz State. The ...
Nov 1, 2017 · The study region is the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) that receives discharge from numerous rivers. The Mississippi River provides the largest river discharge into northern GOM. Ranking as the world's 8th largest river in freshwater discharge and sediment delivery, the Mississippi River system drains 41% of the land in the United States
