Siliciclastic sequence stratigraphy in well logs, core, and outcrops

Abstract

This book is designed specifically to promote the utilisation of sequence stratigraphic analysis as a powerful technique in the exploration for and production of oil and gas. It emphasises also the importance of coupling borehole logs/cores with high resolution seismics for more accurate subsurface correlation of time and facies. Following an introduction and definition of the main terms, the bulk of the book examines parasequences, parasequence sets and sequences in both theoretical and practical terms. There are examples from both the subsurface and outcrop. The book is illustrated with coloured figures including fold-outs. -from Authors
