... regions are conducive to gas hydrate formation. Numerous research programs have shown that natural gas hydrate is widespread in permafrost regions and beneath the sea in sediments of outer continental margins. Natural gas hydrates, commonly also known as methane hydrates, are clathrates, (from the Greek...

... Abstract Submarine slides pose the most critical offshore geohazard. Seafloor mass movements occur in continental margins worldwide, and at all scales, from the smallest ones, barely detectable by acoustic methods, to the gigantic Storegga Slide off Mid-Norway. As most deepwater petroleum...

... and source rocks. Recent large seismic 2D and 3D seismic programs, novel geological concepts and easy access to immense exploration blocks are fuelling the quest for new oil and gas reserve along the Newfoundland and Labrador continental margin, extended now from proven basins to less explored or unexplored...

... Basin-river system. Across the continental margin, extension occurred over the upper slope and compression along the lower slope. 1.0 Introduction The Gulf of Cadiz continental margin has been proposed as a potential world-class petroleum province 1 , 2 . The margin is a known hydrocarbon producer...

If that value should characterize the entire Gulf of Cadiz and adjacent continental margin, then it is likely, given observed sediment thicknesses, that the area might not be commercially petroliferous.

.... During this period, the Gulf of Mexico was undergoing onlythermal subsidence. The main phases of intracrustal extension and sea floor spreading, the stages of basin evolution most commonly associated with tectonic hinge zone formation at other divergent continental margins, had already taken place.

... ABSTRACT In 20 years of offshore exploration on Brazil's continental margin, PETROBRAS has performed nearly 600,000 kilometers of seismic lines and 1,100 exploratory wells, totaling approximately 3.7 million meters drilled. As a result of such an effort, in-place oil -volume discovered amounts...
