Sequence Stratigraphy - A Basic Primer

Sequence stratigraphy is a method of sub- dividing sedimentary rocks by their relative position to a changing sea level This technique is use by geologists to : Predict possible petroleum reservoirs and source rocks Correlate rock units relative to each other – making sense of a potentially complex rock record Predict sedimentary environments Can help with complex seismic interpretation Sequences are bounded by sequence boundaries which are usually erosional unconformities associated with sea level fall Maximum flooding surfaces are surfaces associated with times of maximum local sea level Complimentary to other rock correlation methods such a biostratigraphy
