Description 1 online resource Contents Introduction -- Mesozoic depositional evolution -- Cenozoic depositional evolution -- Petroleum habitat Summary "The Gulf of Mexico basin is one of the most prolific hydrocarbon-producing basins in the world, with an estimated endowment of 200 billion barrels of oil equivalent. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the basin, spanning the USA, Mexico, and Cuba. Topics covered include conventional and unconventional reservoirs, source rocks and associated tectonics, basin evolution from the Mesozoic to Cenozoic Era, and different regions of the basin from mature onshore fields to deepwater subsalt plays. Cores, well logs, and seismic lines are all discussed, providing local, regional, and basin-scale insights. The scientific implications of seminal events in the basin's history are also covered, including sedimentary effects of the Chicxulub impact. Containing over 200 color illustrations and 50 stratigraphic cross-sections and paleogeographic maps, this is an invaluable resource for petroleum industry professionals, as well as graduate students and researchers interested in basin analysis, sedimentology, stratigraphy, tectonics, and petroleum geology"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed Subject Petroleum -- Geology -- Mexico, Gulf of Sedimentary basins -- Mexico, Gulf of Basins (Geology) -- Mexico, Gulf of Geology -- Mexico, Gulf of Oil fields -- Mexico, Gulf of Geology, Stratigraphic.
