USGS-derived data will be included here as the measurement results become available.

The GOM2 project was supported by the Department of Energy, with the University of Texas as the science lead. Pressure cores were acquired through a gas hydrate-bearing reservoir in the Green Canyon 955 (GC955) lease block in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Through our partnership with U. Texas, we were given two pressure cores to analyze with the Pressure Core Characterization Tools at the USGS in Woods Hole.
Stephen Phillips was a shipboard scientist for the GOM2 project, working with the U. Texas prior to working for the USGS. He, along with William Waite (USGS) are affiliated with several papers published in special journal volumes by the AAPG. Those papers published by Waite, or by Phillips (after beginning work at the USGS) will be linked with this FAN. The complete set of papers can be downloaded from AAPG:

The University of Texas also hosts a site with the cruise reports, shipboard data, and links to various publications:
