Atlas of Gulf of
Mexico Gas and Oil Sands Data Available for Downloading
Files listed in the table below are for the
Gulf of Mexico OCS Region only. 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.
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 read our disclaimer prior to downloading files. Download a copy of the file
you want by clicking on Delimited or Access (Microsoft Access) under the
Download column of the table below. The Delimited Format provides the data
fields delimited with quotes (") and separated by commas (,). Once you have
downloaded the data and have decompressed the file using WinZip, the
data can then be imported into a variety of database or spreadsheet packages to
facilitate queries or reports.
