The GOMR.BOEMRE.GOV website is no longer being updated. In its place, BOEM.GOV and BSEE.GOV have been launched. Over the next several weeks, the appropriate content from the GOMR.BOEMRE.GOV website will be moved to the new sites.

Atlas of Gulf of Mexico Gas and Oil Sands Data

In May 2003, a revised Biostratigraphic Chart of the Gulf of Mexico Offshore Region was published (see Biostratigraphic Chart of the Gulf of Mexico Offshore Region, Jurassic to Quaternary).  Using standardized global stratigraphic concepts, this new version of the chart incorporates the latest information currently used as biostratigraphic datum markers by industrial paleontologists for the Mesozoic and Cenozoic geologic sections.  This biostratigraphic update eliminates the disjoint between the industry/academia biostratigraphic naming convention and the BOEMRE-standard chronozone naming convention.

  • In the sand tables available for download, the 2003sands and older files use the "Old" chronozones only. The 2004sands file presents both the "Old" chronozones (in a column named OLD_CHRONOZONE) and the "Current" chronozones (in the column named CHRONOZONE) in order to facilitate your transition to the new chronozones. Future files will present only the "Current" chronozones (in the column named CHRONOZONE).
  • Please note that the sand sequence number included in the sand-level files is a unique identifier assigned to each assessed sand, and some of the non-assessed sands, to enable the user to track a sand from year to year regardless of changes (such as sand name, field, play, etc.) made to the sand.
