Application of 3D Salt Modeling: An Example from the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico

Application of 3D Salt Modeling: An Example from the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico

Salt tectonics has important implications for hydrocarbon exploration in saltbearing basins since salt deformation can directly or indirectly form hydrocarbon traps, influence hydrocarbon migration, and can control deepwater depositional systems. In various basins around the globe, extensive researc...
