Researchers Trace Geologic Origins of Gulf of Mexico ‘Super Basin’ Success
The Gulf of Mexico holds huge untapped offshore oil deposits that could help power the U.S. for decades. The energy super basin’s longevity, whose giant offshore fields have reliably supplied consumers with oil and gas since the 1960s, is the result of a remarkable geologic past – a story that began 200 million years ago… Continue Reading Researchers Trace Geologic Origins of Gulf of Mexico ‘Super Basin’ Success
Expanded Portfolio Brings New Relevance to Long-Running Gulf-Basin Program
By Constantino Panagopulos For 25 years, an industry-sponsored research project led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG), has provided its members with a depositional history of the offshore northern Gulf of Mexico. Now for the first time, UTIG’s Gulf Basin Depositional Synthesis (GBDS) program, will offer its members analysis of the entire… Continue Reading Expanded Portfolio Brings New Relevance to Long-Running Gulf-Basin Program
