MODULE 1: REGIONAL GEOLOGICAL OVERVIEW
The Module 1 is designed to provide a comprehensive revision and compilation of published and unpublished public-domain data on geology, paleogeography and hydrocarbon systems of the eastern Mexican sedimentary basins. Over past two decades, there has been a significant amount of data published in PhD theses and limited-access reports that are largely unavailable to a broad petroleum geoscience community. We designated a considerable effort to collect these data and to compile them in a series of ArcGIS databases that allowed us to revise regional tectonics, stratigraphy, paleogeography and petroleum systems of the vast region of the eastern Mexico and the entire Gulf of Mexico.
