Thermogenic gases in near-surface sediments of Norton Sound, Alaska Thermogenic gases in near-surface sediments of Norton Sound, Alaska

A plume of hydrocarbon gases, assumed to be of thermogenic origin based on chemical compositions, has been noted by others in the water column of Norton Sound about 40 km south of Nome, Alaska. We used detailed geophysical transects, side-scan sonar, underwater television, and chromatographic analyses of gases in near-surface sediments to define a probable source area of hydrocarbon...

The Aleutian Basin, Bering Sea a frontier area for hydrocarbon exploration The Aleutian Basin, Bering Sea a frontier area for hydrocarbon exploration

The Aleutian Basin is the deep water (>3000 m) basin that lies north of the Aleutian Islands adjacent to the Bering Sea continental shelf. The basin, about the size of the state of Texas, is underlain by a 2-9 km-thick flat-lying sequence of mostly Cenozoic sediment and rock that includes diatomaceous silty clay interbedded with turbidities in the upper 1 km. Before 1974, geologic and...
