Abstract
Abstract: A Megaregional Perspective of the Central
Gulf Coast and its Adjacent Paleozoic Basins
By
CGG American Services
One way to quickly identify the most attractive plays in a basin is
through interpretation of regional seismic profiles in combination
with adjacent well and other geologic data. Such transects
provide insights into: 1) the location of economic basement, 2)
maturation
history and migration pathways, and 3) regional structure
and stratigraphy, which can thereby help understand present
plays and recognize new plays. This poster session presents
seismic and geologic transects in the southern US. The first line
extends from the Arkoma Basin in Arkansas across Louisiana and
the continental shelf to the base of the Sigsbee Escarpment. The
second starts in the Black Warrior Basin and extends southwards
to the central Green Canyon area. These transects illustrate the
regional petroleum geology of the southern U.S. and show that
even in an area as mature as the Gulf Coast, changing one's perspective
can lead to new geologic insights.
