Sequence Boundaries Identification of Putaohua Oil Layer in Qijia-Gulong Area

Abstract

Sequence is a relatively conformable succession of genetically related strata bounded by unconformities or their correlative conformities. The correct identification of sequence boundaries is the key to the success of the sequence stratigraphic approach. Stratigraphic boundaries provide the fundamental framework for the genetic interpretation of any sedimentary succession, irrespective of how one may choose to name the packages of strata between them. Sequence stratigraphy of main research content is mainly chronohorizon (unconformity or conformity) identification, and to determine its causes and characteristics. Then, the key to sequence stratigraphy is identification unconformity and their correlative conformities. Unconformity and their correlative conformities on the seismic profiles, well logs, lithology, paleontology, and geochemical data have distinctive sequence boundaries mark characteristics.
