Iodp Expedition 308: Gulf of Mexico Hydrogeology Site U1322 Summary
Site U1322 is the easternmost site drilled in the Ursa basin by Expedition 308. Of the three sites in the Ursa Basin, Site U1322 has the thinnest sediment cover above the permeable Blue Unit. The principal objectives of drilling Site U1322 were to document rock physical properties at the location of minimal overburden in the Ursa Basin, measure in-situ formation temperature and pressure, docume...

متن کاملConsolidation and Pore Fluid Pressure of Ursa Sediments, Deepwater Gulf
15 We conducted uniaxial compression tests on whole core samples from the Ursa 16 Basin, deepwater Gulf of Mexico, to obtain the consolidation properties of mudstones. 17 We showed that specific volume (v = 1+e) (where e is void ratio) declines as an 18 exponential function of effective stress and we used this relationship to successfully 19 predict in-situ pressure from void ratio at IODP Site...
متن کاملRetrogressive failures recorded in mass transport deposits in the Ursa Basin, Northern Gulf of Mexico
[1] Clay-rich mass transport deposits (MTDs) in the Ursa Basin, Gulf of Mexico, record failures that mobilized along extensional failure planes and transformed into long runout flows. Failure proceeded retrogressively: scarp formation unloaded adjacent sediment causing extensional failure that drove successive scarp formation updip. This model is developed from three-dimensional seismic reflect...
