Sequence Stratigraphy - Part 8

This document defines and describes key surfaces and tracts used in sequence stratigraphy. It identifies the sequence boundary, correlative conformity, maximum regression surface, and maximum flooding surface as important delineated surfaces. It explains that surfaces in sequence stratigraphy and seismic interpretation refer to spatially continuous 3D surfaces that can be isolated and identified, representing the end of formative processes or clear reflectors of consistent nature.

Delineation of a sequence

SURFACES AND SYSTEMS TRACTS

Or Bialik, 2020 Schlumberger-Private


Delineation of a sequence - key surfaces
• SB – sequence boundary
• CC – correlative conformity

• MRS – maximum regression surface


• MFS – maximum flooding surface

What are “surfaces” and why are they called that?
• In respect to sequence stratigraphy, “surfaces” are spatially
continues 3D surfaces, diachronos in formation but time
equivalent in respect to the end of the process that lead to their
formation.
• In seismic interpretation, “surfaces” are any spatially continues
3D surfaces that can be isolated and “picked” out by the
interpreter by as clear and identifiable reflectors of consistent
nature.
