The Lower Tertiary (Deep Wilcox) Trend in the Alaminos Canyon Area of the Perdido fold belt, U.S. Gulf of Mexico has received much exploration attention since the drilling of the BAHA 2 well in March 2001, when industry recognized the potential for extensive deepwater turbidite sands in this area. Subsequent additional discoveries at the Trident and Great White prospects south of the salt canopy, demonstrated the significant potential of the Lower Tertiary Trend more than 250 miles basin ward of its onshore depocenter. EMGS has performed two EM surveys in Alaminos Canyon, and the technique has already proven successful in the area.
