... for the Pacific coast of Mexico in the area of the Gulf of Tehuantepec. The holistic evaluation of the platform is described in this article. It involves two numerical analyzes. The first focuses on the geometry of the platform, in which the objective is to develop an algorithm that provides the initial...

... ABSTRACT In recent years, the wind power capacity installed in Mexico has increased considerably onshore, but it lacks offshore wind installations, despite it has an extended territory to exploit the offshore wind resources. The proposal of this study is the numerical hydrodynamic evaluation...

... anchor solutions in soft deepwater clays. In the Gulf of Mexico and in West Africa, the suction pile is the preferred option for permanent mooring of production units, including semi-submersible FPUs and deep draught SPARs in the Gulf of Mexico, or FPSOs in the Gulf of Guinea. Suction piles have also...

... ABSTRACT Microbial communities proliferate around Gulf of Mexico (GOM) gas hydrate mounds. Synergistic relationships exist between microbes and hydrates at the observable seafloor, and interactions may extend with changing emphasis to bottom of gas hydrate zone. To explore...
