Sequence Stratigraphic Analysis

Concepts and Applications
• Concept & Application
• Methodology
• Biostatigraphy
• Chronostratigraphy
• Well Logs & Parasequences
• Seismic Facies Application
• Carbonate Sequence
Stratigraphy
• Exercises & Mini-project
• To be efficient in exploration
– need to have a good
exploration acreage
• To get a good exploration
acreage - need to have a
good understanding of the
basin
• To understand a basin – to
perform a good basin

DATA COLLECTION

• Geology-previous studies, composite logs, e-

logs, core info, biostrat, geochem, shows, test,
FMI, paleogeograpy, maps etc.

• Geophysic-previous studied, seismic files-

2D/3D-attributes data, horizon info, non-
seismic data (gravity/magnetic etc.), check-
shot, synthetic, navigation & cartography

Obstacles to the application of sequence stratigraphy

• Invincibly ignorant managers

• Low resolution seismic data
• Poor (unedited log quality)
• Inadequate well-to-seismic ties
• Inadequate biostratigraphic data
• Insufficient training or experience
• Intensely complex structural deformation
