Chapter 12. Well sequence stratigraphy interpretation methodology


 This chapter describes the methodology employed to recognise depositional sequences in well data, involving the integration of wireline logs, biostratigraphy, lithostratigraphy (and lithological interpretations), seismic and sedimentology (particularly facies analysis), with an emphasis on a pragmatic approach to sequence recognition in North Sea Jurassic to lowermost Cretaceous well successions.
 Wireline log profiles characterizing individual depositional sequences or parts of sequences are illustrated by reference to key North Sea well sections.
