Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gulf of Mexico initiated in the Late Triassic as South America and Africa separated from North America during the break up of Pangea. Previous studies indicate three models for the opening of the GOM. These include counter clockwise rotation of the Yucatan Block, rotation of the Yucatan Block about the same pole of rotation as those describing seafloor spreading in the central North Atlantic, and clockwise rotation of the Yucatan Block. There is much debate about the margin type and the crustal structure of the Eastern Gulf of Mexico (EGOM), especially below the depth of 6 km where crustal structure is poorly imaged on seismic reflection data. Two 2.5-D forward gravity and magnetic models across the margin are presented. These are constrained by basement picks from sparse seismic reflection and refraction data, spectral analysis of gravity data to determine the depth to source, magnetic susceptibility derived from results from other margins, the empirical relationship between P-wave velocity and density, and crustal scale isostatic modeling. The models, combined with a kinematic reconstruction of the GOM, show that: 1) it is a rifted margin; 2) the point where the Moho deepens downward from ~17 km to ~32 km is approximately 50 km outboard of the topographic shelf edge; 3) the carbonate bank retreated by several kilometers from its original termination due to the action of contourite currents; 4) extension and subsidence was accommodated with little shallow brittle faulting; 5) oceanic lithosphere is possibly outboard of the EGOM continental slope.

Book Synopsis A Closer Look at Salt, Faults, and Gas in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico with 2-D Multichannel Seismic Data by : Leslie Ann Nemazi
Download or read book A Closer Look at Salt, Faults, and Gas in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico with 2-D Multichannel Seismic Data written by Leslie Ann Nemazi and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sedimentary wedge of the northern Gulf of Mexico is extensively deformed and faulted by salt tectonics. Industry 2-D multichannel seismic data covering a large area (33,800 km2) of the lower Texas continental slope [96° 40'- 93° 40'W; 27° 10N - 26° N] were examined to evaluate the interplay of salt, faults and gas. Seismic interpretation revealed the study area has two different styles of faulting and two different types of salt bodies that vary east to west. The eastern region of the study area has a thin sedimentary section and a massive, nearly continuous salt sheet characterized by minibasins and local salt highs. Faulting in this area appears to be the result of salt tectonism. The western region of the study area has a thick sedimentary wedge, and a few isolated salt diapirs. Long, linear faults are parallel to slope and imply some degree of gravitation sliding. The difference in faulting styles and salt bodies can be attributed to different depositional environments, different styles and amounts of sediment loading and different amounts of salt initially deposited. While there is a widespread occurrence of gas throughout the study area, little evidence of continuous bottom simulating reflectors (BSRs), a widely accepted geophysical indicator of gas hydrate, has been found. The gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ) was modeled to provide information on the thickness and variability of the stability zone, and provide a baseline in a search for BSRs. The dataset was analyzed for multiple seismic expressions of BSRs, however only a few small and isolated examples were found. Potential fluid escape structures were seen in the seismic data. Despite the great number of potential features found in the seismic data only seven active seeps were found in a seep study by I.R. MacDonald. Seeps were seen in far less abundance than the number of seeps found offshore Louisiana. This may imply a lack of source offshore Texas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end members of passive continental margins are characterized as non-volcanic or volcanic depending on the nature of the transition zone. Differences between these two types are usually reflected by the differences of the physical properties of the Ocean-Continent Transition (OCT). Gravity, magnetic, and seismic data used to investigate the crustal structure of a portion of the northern Gulf of Mexico. Six 800-km long, crustal cross sections have been constructed across the study area with 70 km spacing. Two-dimensional crustal models, comprising 7 layers have been developed to simulate the observed Free-air gravity anomalies. The density of each layer has been kept constant and the geometry of the individual layers modified to obtain a good match to the gravity data. Where possible the gravity models have been constrained by available seismic and magnetic data. Interpretations for the boundaries between different crustal types are delineated by modeling. The magnetic anomalies were used to define the extent of the transitional crust and interpreted as the effects of subaerial flood basalts. For this study OCT was defined as the region where the crustal thickness is greater than 9 km and less than 25 km. The average width of the OCT in the models is 250 km which is greater than that found in previous studies at other volcanic margins. To satisfy concerns that some magnetic anomalies may be due to sea-floor spreading, an alternative model with a narrower transition was constructed which matched the data equally well. In order to reconstruct the pre-extension position of Yucatan the stretched continental crust and transitional zone (restored back to 32 km thickness) across the northern margin, 15° of rotation about a pole south of Florida and 9° further rotation for southern Gulf of Mexico is required. Results from previous studies suggest that the Yucatan Block underwent an additional 20° of rotation due to sea-floor spreading along the restoration arc (total amount of 44° counterclockwise rotation). The results of this thesis supports some previous studies that concluded: (1) the nature of the margin can be classified as being volcanic passive margin and (2) plate reconstructions require counterclockwise rotation for the opening of Gulf of Mexico.
