Contribution Of Shallow Geology To Hydrocarbon Seep Formation In Green Canyon Block 600 [PDF]
The Green Canyon Federal Protraction area in the Gulf of Mexico is rich in hydrocarbons. The movement of the Sigsbee salt escarpment in green canyon has resulted in a complex bathymetric profile and extensive shallow faulting that has allomigration of ...

Post-salt carbonates control salt-tectonic minibasin formation
Geology, 2023Abstract Salt tectonics on passive margins are driven by sediment loading and gliding with minimal influence from basement-involved tectonics and is associated with variable and complex salt structures, such as minibasins and diapirs.

Coevolution of Minibasin Subsidence and Sedimentation: Experiments
Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2015Abstract Subsidence patterns resulting from differential sediment loading on a mobile substrate (e.g., salt) are an important process for the development of accommodation and stratigraphic architectures in intraslope minibasins. Numerous studies of minibasin systems have focused on either the tectonic processes involved in salt deformation or the ...

Trapping of sustained turbidity currents by intraslope minibasins
Sedimentology, 2005AbstractDepositional turbidity currents have filled many intraslope minibasins with sediment creating targets for petroleum exploration. The dynamics of sustained turbidity currents and their depositional characteristics are investigated in a scaled physical model of a minibasin.
