Title: Sequence stratigraphy: An integrated technique for exploration and exploitation, Part 2: Seismic examples

Abstract

Exxon`s concepts of sequence stratigraphy developed from the stratigraphic interpretation of reflection seismic data, a technique referred to as seismic stratigraphy. Differentiation of chronostratigraphy and lithostratigraphy is critical in interpreting sequences on seismic data, as well as in outcrops, logs, and cores. Extensive experience indicates that reflection geometries follow time lines in the rock record and that facies variations are recorded by lateral changes in reflection attributes, such as amplitude and continuity. Integration of all available well, outcrop, and literature data into a seismic interpretation is essential to reducing the risks associated with predictions of play parameters using seismic stratigraphy.
