"Sequence stratigraphy and depositional evolution of the north-eastern " by Jiawang Ge, Xiaoming Zhao et al.
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 Mouth Basin (PRMB) in the northern SCS. The infill of the Late Oligocene to Middle Miocene successio...
