Petroleum Systems in the Southern Gulf of Mexico

This publication is a multidisciplinary book that includes a wide range of topics such as organic geochemistry, petroleum systems analysis, salt tectonics, petroleum prospectivity evaluations, geophysical interpretation, basin modeling, petrophysics, stratigraphy and sedimentology, structural geology and tectonics, biostratigraphy and paleontology, sediment provenance studies, and potential fields. AAPG Memoir 90 focuses on the southern Gulf of Mexico prolific offshore and onshore basins with an emphasis on the petroleum systems. This book is a must for exploration geologists and geophysicists, research scientists, faculty, and students who want to learn about the new exploratory knowledge on the petroleum geology of the Mexican Gulf of Mexico.
