SEISMIC CHRONOSTRATIGRAPHY: PROSPECTS IN PETROLEUM EXPLORATION

Seismic survey has long

become a trusted tool for hydrocarbon exploration. This is because of the

outstanding ability of seismic reflections and their over lapping relationships

to image deep and shallow subsurface structures and delineate promising structural

and stratigraphic traps. These subsurface features become good prospecting

targets, maybe because of their depositional history or post depositional

events. With this in mind, it is necessary to draw out relationships between

depositional sequence and time of deposition of rocks within a geologic region.

This led to the development of a broad subfield known as Chronostratigraphy.
