Pliocene - Pleistocene sequence stratigraphy in Block 05-2, Nam Con Son basin, offshore Vietnam
Abstract
Sequence-stratigraphic investigation using high-resolution 3D seismic data allows recognition of the detailed stratigraphic features of the Pliocene and Pleistocene succession such as incised valleys or channels and basin floor fans. They are excellent evidences for recognition of the lowstand system tract. Integration of seismic attributes and well data was used to predict their distributions as well as lithofacies. This article concentrates on sequence stratigraphy interpretation of seismic and well logdata for prediction of the depositional environments of each sequence.
