... Abstract Shell's Stones field is located below the Sigsbee escarpment on the continental rise in the Walker Ridge area of the Gulf of Mexico, in a water depth of approximately 9,500-ft. The seafloor is irregular due to the presence of furrows, which have been eroded by bottom currents...

... Abstract This paper presents near-bottom current profile measurements in furrows located east of the Sigsbee Escarpment in the Cascade-Chinook field development flowline route from the facilites to the Chinook manifold in the Walker Ridge region of the Gulf of Mexico in water depths greater...

...) a region of large, long furrows eroded into the Holocene deposits blanketing this region. Since than these furrows have been observed to extend from near 90°W, east of Green Knoll, to 92°W along the lower slope/rise at the offshore base of the Sigsbee Escarp- ment. These furrows have depths of 5 to 10 m...

... furrows, a previously unknown Gulf of Mexico sea floor feature. Preliminary investigations show that the erosive style of the furrows change in a predictable pattern in conjunction with an increase in current flow velocities. The erosional features of the furrow field indicate the presence of strong ocean...
