Description
When the principles of Sequence Stratigraphy were first published 20 years ago, it was not immediately clear that this concept would revolutionise
the way we look at deposition and architecture of sedimentary rocks. Perhaps in retrospect it should not have been so surprising. For
the first time seismic data were clear enough that large scale depositional geometries could be resolved; geometries that were not evident
from well data alone, and in outcrop work visible only in the largest cliff sections. The observations from seismic data made by the
Exxon workers in the 1960's and 1970's were a crucial "piece of the jigsaw" in our knowledge of the way sediments are deposited, and
formed the basis for the new paradigm of Sequence Stratigraphy.
Gradually through the 1980's the tool of Sequence Stratigraphy was
applied to a wide variety of subsurface problems; most commonly large-scale regional reviews of 2D seismic data. Geologists and geophysicists
in the oil industry began to realise that here was a way of thinking about rocks that could be used in a true predictive sense. The paradigm
implied, that one systems tract should follow another in a predictable way, that observations in one part of a basin had implications
in another part, and that undetected play systems could be inferred, and targeted with exploration programs.
Sequence Stratigraphy
has now gone through a second phase of evolution. The initial concepts have been applied to well and core data. Methodologies have evolved
for identifying systems tracts from trends in logs and depositional facies, and from (often subtle) observations in core. The resolving
power of 3D seismic data has increased considerably, and we can now see depositional bodies on a relatively small scale, and map their
internal character using attribute analysis. Sequence Stratigraphy has entered its High Resolution phase.
