    Study Notes

    Sequence Stratigraphy Emphasis

    • Emphasizes chronostratigraphic units, which are bounded by unconformities, for subdividing sediments

    Analyzing Methodology

    • Provides a powerful methodology for analyzing the sedimentary record in terms of accommodation and sediment supply

    Growing Interest

    • Application of sequence stratigraphy has been an area of growing interest in the field of hydrocarbon exploration and production

    Outcrop Stratigraphic Surfaces

    • Unconformities and time-equivalent packages are easily identified and visualized on outcrop stratigraphic surfaces

    Descriptive Illustration

    • A descriptive illustration of time-equivalent packages in surface outcrops is invaluable for understanding the complex relationships between strata and reconstructing the geological history of an area
