3D SEISMIC GEOMORPHOLOGY AND SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHY OF LATE QUATERNARY SHELF AND SHELF -MARGIN DEPOSITIONAL SYSTEMS, NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO
(2015-08)Optimal exploitation of deltaic reservoirs needs detailed facies and architectural element analysis as a base for a comprehensive geological model. To date, very few studies have evaluated regional shelf-margin deltaic ... -
An Integrated Geophysical Study of the Northern Gulf of Mexico
(2012-05)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 ... -
Analysis of Steep Dip Subsalt Seismic Illumination Via Ray Tracing and Finite-Difference Modeling: A Gulf of Mexico Case Study
(2015-08)This thesis aims to demonstrate the feasibility of improving the seismic depth image of the steeply dipping “attic” regions of the salt feeder of a complex salt body in the deep-water Gulf of Mexico. In order to assess the ... -
Aquatic Resources Used by the Gulf Coast Olmec: Carrying Capacity Analysis Based on Commercial Fishing Catch Data
(2015-05)The Olmec have long been considered one of the first complex societies to develop in Mesoamerica. Scholars have traditionally believed that the Olmec relied on maize agriculture since their initial development during the ... -
Calibration of Effective Pressure Coefficient for the Gulf of Mexico
(2013-05)Pore pressure prediction provides an important risk assessment in the oil and gas industry. It is widely used to estimate the seal integrity, reservoir pressure compartmentalization, hydrocarbon column height, and to design ... -
Structure of the Salt Surface and Comparison to Bathymetry from 2-D Multichannel Seismic Data: Texas and Louisiana Continental Slope, Northwestern Gulf of Mexico
(2017-12-06)The seafloor morphology of the continental slope of northwestern Gulf of Mexico shifts, going from the smoother Texas offshore to the rugose central Louisiana slope. This change is considered to be a reflection of the ... -
Subsidence and Sea-level Rise Measurements for the Northern Gulf of Mexico: An Integrated, Multi-sensor Approach
(2014-05)The combination of remote sensing and ground truth has proven itself especially useful for scientific investigation within the last few decades. Using this approach, this research has investigated ground subsidence and ... -
TECTONOSTRATIGRAPHIC STAGES IN THE MESOZOIC OPENING AND SUBSIDENCE OF THE GULF OF MEXICO BASED ON DEEP-PENETRATION SEISMIC REFLECTION DATA IN THE SALT-FREE EASTERN PART OF THE BASIN
(2014-12)The eastern and northeastern Gulf of Mexico provide one of the few areas of the Gulf of Mexico continent-ocean boundary that is not obscured by a thick layer of remobilized salt deposits. I used 17,000 km of deep-penetration, ... -
WAVE-THEORETIC PREPROCESSING TO ALLOW THE INVERSE SCATTERING SERIES METHODS FOR MULTIPLE REMOVAL AND DEPTH IMAGING TO REALIZE THEIR POTENTIAL AND IMPACT: METHODS, EXAMPLES, AND ADDED VALUE
(2013-12)The research described in this dissertation (1) extends Green's-theorem ghost removal in the space-frequency domain to complicated synthetic (SEAM) and field data, bringing in (and solving) acquisition issues that affect ...
