Northern Gulf of Mexico deepwater discoveries correlated to basement structure are
posted on a bathymetry map.
basement map has been correlated to
published geology, and has been calibrated
to available refraction data, onshore structural ties, and well control. Published
data identify the location of more than
258 Outer Continental Shelf blocks associated with oil and gas discoveries.
The study first plotted the acreage
blocks carrying the fields reported by
the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management,
Regulation and Enforcement, as well as
the reported discoveries. The location
and the geological-structural framework
of these productive blocks were correlated
to a magnetically-based basement structural interpretation and classified into
three primary categories:
* OCS blocks on the top of basement
structural highs;
* OCS blocks in steep and faulted
flanks of basement structural highs; and
* OCS blocks in basement structural
lows.
Furthermore, in terms of productive
acreage blocks analyzed, of the 258
acreage blocks in the Gulf deepwater region publicly reported as having discovery
wells or as being part of an oil/gas field
development operation, the study's findings determined the following relationships
to basement structure:
* 116 discoveries, or 45 percent of
total samples, are located on steep and
faulted flanks of basement high blocks,
such as the Jack, St. Malo and Appomattox
discoveries.
* 64 discoveries, or 25 percent, are
located on basement structure highs, such
as Vicksburg, Troika and Dawson.
* 78 discoveries, or 30 percent, are
situated in basement lows, such as Zinc,
Holstein, Power Play and Tahoe.
Out of the 258 northern Gulf of Mexico
field discoveries cataloged, the results to
date show that approximately 70 percent
of the oil and gas reserves are located
either on steep/faulted flanks or on top
of basement structural highs. This leads
to the observation that structural lows
contain thicker sediment columns, and
therefore thicker sections of potential oil
and gas source beds.
It is established that oil and gas generated in regional lows migrate updip
onto regional highs. Regional structural
