We classify salt-related faults and fault welds in the northern Gulf of Mexico on the basis of the three-dimensional geometry of the faults, welds, deformed strata, and associated salt bodies.

From 1952 to 1956, Pemex conducted a considerable amount of stratigraphic field work in the eastern Sierra Madre and in Laramide folds to the north across the Sabinas Basin.

Oil and gas resources on University Lands, 2.1 million acres in 19 West Texas counties, constitute a major asset of the University of Texas System. The original oil in place (OOIP) of the 102 major University Lands oil reservoirs is calculated to be 7,520 MMbbl.

Salt structures can be extremely challenging to interpret and understand. To begin with, the high velocity contrast between salt and most sedimentary rocks means that many salt structures are poorly imaged on seismic data.
