20240917 09591200 1.0 TRUE TGS Gigante Cores Gigante Area 0-7 USA & MX cores points. These areas coorespond to the Gigante multibeam areas. Heat Flows are in a separate dataset. This point feature class containing SGE core sample locations and corelog sample information. This is the aggregated deliverable core dataset from TDI.Surface Geochemical Exploration (SGE) is a petroleum prospecting tool based on the premise that upward migrated petroleum from deep source rocks and reservoirs can be detected in near-surface sediments and used to evaluate exploration potential. Typically, geophysical surveys are used to select coring locations based on surface expression of faults and other features related to conduits for upward migration of hydrocarbons.TDI-Brooks International performs surface geochemical surveys using a vessel outfitted to perform heavy piston coring. The 1,000 kg piston coring rig used by TDI-Brooks is capable of obtaining 9m ocean sediment samples in water depths up to 4,000m. Three deep sections per piston core are sampled and analyzed, allowing for the determination of depth trends in measured parameters.See TDI-BI technical report #'s 16-3510, 16-3511, and 16-3512 for further information.
