The stratigraphic and geographic distribution of 6 biostratigraphic units has been inferred on the basis of data from 18 wells in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPRA). These large-scale biostratigraphic units represent depositionally related packages of sediment. Therefore, the units should correspond to the major recognized seismic sequence intervals. Seismic stratigraphy is the appropriate approach to refining interpretations of subsurface geology on the North Slope. Properly applied biostratigraphy is essential to this approach. The authors attempt here to show relations among current results from various disciplines, recognizing that revisions will be needed as work progresses.
