Eugene Island Block 330

The Gulf Coast basin is typified by graben systems and high-angle growth faults occurring in a semicircular zone parallel to the present coastline. Salt tectonism, with associated doming and faulting, is the most active structural process.

The field is located in a small minibasin formed by an arcuate system of growth faults.

Rollover anticlines on the downthrown side of large northwest-trending, salt-related growth fault.
