Sequence Stratigraphy News Today

A total of 60 petroleum scientists have been nominated by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to attend a five-day sequence stratigraphy workshop at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria.

No time to produce anything new, so here's another recycled book review...

Abstract: A combination of wireline log data and sedimentological characterization provides insight into the sequence stratigraphic framework of the carbonate rocks. The Cenomanian Rumaila Formation is considered one of the Cretaceous representative carbonate units in the Middle East. In Iraq, limited information regarding the regional distribution of the Rumaila Formation within a sequence stratigraphic framework prompted this work. This study integrates geophysical well logs (i.e. gamma ray, s...

The north-eastern shelf successions of the Oligocene to Middle Miocene South China Sea (SCS) have attracted considerable interest because of recent hydrocarbon exploration success. However, their stratigraphic-depositional patterns and interactive controls still remain less understood. Based on integrated analyses of seismic, well-logging, core data and paleontological data, we systematically document the sequence architecture and depositional evolution of north-eastern shelf of the Pearl River ...

The East China Sea (ECS) is featured by the broad continental shelf, huge terrigenous sediment input and striking river-sea interaction during the Quaternary. Despite the numerous studies, mostly on the delta, coastal and inner shelf areas, the late Quaternary stratigraphy and sedimentary environment on the mid-outer ECS shelf were poorly documented. In particular, it is still controversial in issues such as the recognition of marine transgression deposits in the interglacial period and the occu...
