Mexico-Tithonian Shale Overview

 Onshore eastern Mexico contains a series of medium-sized basins and structural highs (platforms) within the larger western Gulf of Mexico Basin.3 Many of Mexico’s shale basins are too deep in their center for shale gas development

(>5 km), while their western portions tend to be overthrusted and structurally complex. However, the less deformed eastern portions of these basins and adjacent shallower platforms are structurally more simple. Here, the most prospective areas for shale gas development are buried at suitable depths of 1 km to 5 km over large areas. These…
