From an engineering standpoint, these features are basically the same. 2 While the Sigsbee Escarpment occupies a small portion of the Gulf there are many new and important production sites found there, e.g. Chevron s Jack-St. Malo...

... (Flood 1983). Furrows with the potential to impact pipelines laid across them have been observed in the vicinity of the Sigsbee Escarpment in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), where current velocities of 90 cm/s and greater have been measured. Additionally, furrows have been observed on the seafloor...
