This is the first AAPG memoir on the petroleum geology of Mexico, and covers a wide range of topics related to petroleum geochemistry and hydrocarbon origin, migration, and entrapment. The 21 chapters of AAPG Memoir 75 cover the basin from a regional perspective through geologic time and discuss structural geology, sedimentary basins, stratigraphy, and case studies of fields in Mexico. The book provides:
*Integration of onshore-offshore data to help readers understand Mexican petroleum provinces
*New concepts about the paleogeographic evolution of the GOM
*A sequence-stratigraphic framework of the northwestern GOM
*Discussions of gas resources, exploitation, and reservoir performance
This book will be of interest to explorers and managers who want a regional perspective and the detailed information to make better-informed exploration decisions.
