Ocean research project a success by Ed Alanis Battalion Reporter Texas A&M oceanography students and researchers have just Finished a major coring pro ject in the Gulf of Mexico, mak ing money for the University and saving money for major oil companies. Coring is a scientific process of surveying the ocean floor to evaluate oil and gas prospects. Dr. James M. Brooks, associ ate research scientist in the oceanography department, headed a 15-member team that spent the entire month of Sep tember working in the gulf. The group included five student re search assistants. The purpose of the project was to provide information to oil companies bidding in the Un ited States’ eastern gulf lease sale set for November. Before the cruise began, the group had almost $230,000 in contracts from Tenneco Oil, Getty Oil Corp., Atlantic Rich field Co. and Mobil Oil Corp. to collect core samples. Additional contracts were made with other companies while the cruise was in progress. The oil companies are paying an additional $70,000 for a geochemical analysis of the core samples. Texas A&M scientists are working now to have the reports Finished in time for the Novem ber lease sale. “The project was a success,” Brooks said. “We got what we went after.” Several good samples were taken from the eastern regions of the Gulf, near the Florida coast. Texas A&M leased a 200-foot work boat, the “Citation,” and outfitted it with University- owned equipment for the pro ject. Research groups from Texas A&M have done similar work for oil companies in the Gulf of Mexico during the past two years, and there are plans for more work in the future, Brooks said. When groups from Texas A&M do this kind of work, everyone involved benefits, Brooks said. Zip ’84 10!
