Smectite to illite transformation of Gulf of Mexico -Eugene Island (GoM-EI) mudrock
Predicting pore pressure is an important job in the petroleum industry. Standard methods for estimating pressure do not apply to the basin where overpressure is often observed. Compaction disequilibrium and clay mineral diagenesis are recognized as potential contributors to overpressure generation. …

Processing Case Study with AVO and Pore Pressure Analyses: Eugene Island, Gulf of Mexico
Seismic exploration uses numerous tools and techniques for detecting hydrocarbon reservoirs in conventional plays as found on the shelf of the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM). The tools include seismic data-processing attributes, well-log calibration, and AVO (Amplitude Versus Offset) and pore …

Compression behavior of smectitic vs. illitic mudrocks
… illitic mudrocks. The original Gulf of Mexico - Eugene Island (GoM-EI) mudrock sets the baseline for smectitic mudrock in order to compare with illitic mudrocks. Two methods were used to create illitic mudrock from the GoM-EI sediment.

Permeability anisotropy of resedimented mudrocks
… from 0.55 to 0.26. Resedimented Gulf of Mexico - Eugene Island mudrock (RGoM-EI), a smectitic fat clay (CH), exhibits permeability anisotropy increasing from 1 to 5 when compressed to the same stresses, corresponding to porosities ranging from 0.6 to 0.25. Not only does smectitic RGoM-EI mudrock …

The influence of salinity on the mechanical behavior of high plasticity soils
… of testing was carried out on Gulf of Mexico - Eugene Island (GOM EI). This material was used to examine the behavior of a soil whose fabric has been changed by the removal of the natural salts via leaching. Both leached and natural GOM El were tested to investigate the influence of salinity on …

Evolution of Late Cenozoic Minibasins and Growth Faulting, Green Canyon Area, Northwestern Gulf of Mexico
The northern margin of the Gulf of Mexico has a complex geologic history involving growth faulting, the emplacement of allochthonous salt bodies and the evolution of small-scale Neogene depocenters overlying the mobile salt bodies (called ‘minibasins’). My study area is located in the northwestern …
