Description:

Abstract:

Since 1982 the, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has collected a large amount of surficial and shallow subsurface geologic information in the deep parts of the Gulf of Mexico. These data include digital sidescan sonar imagery, digital seismic-reflection data, and descriptions and analyses of piston and gravity cores. The data were collected during several different projects that addressed surficial and shallow subsurface geologic processes. Some of these data sets have already been published, but the growing interest in the occurrence and distribution of gas hydrates in the Gulf of Mexico warrants integrating these existing data and associated interpretations into a GIS to provide regional background information for ongoing and future gas hydrate research.

Purpose:

This GIS shapefile data layer shows the location of offshore oil and gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. The platform information was made available by Minerals Management Service, and has been reprojected from the NAD 27 datum to NAD 83 to be consistent with the remainder of the data in this GIS.

Supplemental_Information:

This accessible computer data is from a working database which is derived by entering data from documents submitted to the Federal Government from oil companies, other Government Agencies, and/or the public. Some errors may exist in this data and we are constantly working to find and eliminate them. Copies of the original documents are available for your inspection and copying at the MMS Public Information Office This computer data is not intended as a legal document and should not be constructed as such. This data is not for navigational use. If you discover problems with this data, please advise and MMS will address this in their priority schedule to correct the data. Contact MMS at GulfPublicInfo@smtp.mms.gov to report such discrepancies. Public domain data from the U.S. government are freely redistributable with proper metadata and source attribution. Please recognize the Minerals Management Service (MMS) as the source of this information.
