In the northern Gulf of Mexico, the understanding of minibasins—achieved through the integration of stratigraphic, structural, biostratigraphic, and geochemical data—is the critical scale of basin analysis for petroleum system identification and prospect evaluation. Petroleum system analysis is the identification of the origin of the entrapped oil and the reconstruction of the generation-migration-entrapment history. This information provides a template for further exploration for subtle traps along the migration avenue.

Minibasins are a critical scale for Gulf of Mexico petroleum systems evaluation. Basins of other tectonic styles differ, requiring a somewhat different approach to petroleum systems analysis. For example, stratigraphic entrapment along foreland basin limbs adjacent to foredeep hydrocarbon charge areas is an important aspect of foreland basins.[1][2]
