Abstract

TGS acquired a dense grid of ship-borne 2D seismic, gravity and magnetic surveys (Gigante) over the Mexican Gulf of Mexico (MGOM). TGS and Bain Geophysical Services (BainGeo) have collaborated to create the “Gigante Previous HitCrustalNext Hit Study” covering offshore Mexico and the wider Gulf of Mexico. This work combines the Gigante survey data with TGS seismic data in the USA GOM and public domain data sets to give coverage over the entire GOM. This presentation will show how our results better illustrate the deep Previous HitcrustalNext Hit Previous HitstructureTop of the GOM and their implications for understanding the early evolution of the GOM.
