Riassunto
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the Gulf of Mexico Basin, including its reservoirs, source rocks, tectonics and evolution. Illustrated in color, it is an invaluable resource for petroleum industry professionals, and students and researchers interested in basin analysis, sedimentology, stratigraphy, tectonics and petroleum geology.
