Abstract:
Sequence stratigraphy revolutionized the field of stratigraphy in the late 1970s and 1980s by providing an interpretive depositional framework for integrating diverse stratigraphic data at the scale of sedimentary basins. However, a lack of consensus on criteria for recognizing, mapping and hence dating sequence boundaries, interpretations of uneven quality, and doubts about the universal eustatic origin and global synchrony of unconformity-related sequences limit the usefulness of sequence stratigraphy in chronostratigraphy.

Abstract:
In the Post-Exxon Era of sequence stratigraphy, various sequence models for the complex stratigraphic records with their response mechanisms are developed. All the models with strong pertinence are endowed, which lead to misapprehension in the conceptual system. Therefore, the standardization of sequence stratigraphy with the aim to provide consistency in the terminology has become an important motive of modern sequence. During the development of sequence stratigraphy, the identification and distinction between normal and forced regression have laid important foundation for the system description of sequence development. This becomes the first step towards the standardization because of model-independent nature. The introduction of model-independent unconventional system tracts in fluvial sequence models, which are low- and high-accommodation system tracts, which turn out to be another successful attempt of towards the standardization of sequence stratigraphy. The four parts of stratigraphic records, which include the complexity and cyclicity in the stratigraphic accumulation process; the non-gradual change and the non-integrity of the stratigraphic records; the variability represented by the diversity of the sequence models and the nature of standardization including variability, will provide more clues and approaches for further sequence stratigraphy development

Abstract:
It is considered that discussion on adaptability of sequence stratigraphy in fluvial sedimentation is significant for oil exploration. As the main controlling factor is the sea-level fluctuations in the coastal river system, Exxon sequence stratigraphy can be applied to divide the sequences into: lowstand, transgressive and highstand systems tracts. And in the inland fluvial system, the application of low- and high-accommodation systems tracts may keep more coincident with the actual stratigraphic record. From the Exxon stratigraphy to low- and high-accommodation systems tracts, each model will be of great value in the petroleum exploration because of the lateral phase transition raised and the vertical phase transition predicted. However, controlled by many allogenic processes, fluvial strata still shows many problems in which the patterns can not be clearly explained. Thus, fluvial sequence stratigraphy needs to be further developed. Researching on various models of fluvial facies sequence stratigraphy in the development process will bring the important theoretical and practical value to the oil reservoir exploration.

Abstract:
The evolution of concept development in stratigraphy between 1964 and 1989 is reviewed by comparing and contrasting the contents of the golden book volume on cyclic stratigraphy (Merriam, 1964) with the present volume. Although separated by more than 25 years, both volumes treat strikingly similar subject material with an emphasis on cyclic stratigraphy, time stratigraphy, and the genetics of basin fill. The collection of papers found in the earlier volume reflects the culmination of work from the most prominent stratigraphers of the 1940's through the early 1960's, a period strongly affected by the principles of sequence stratigraphy. Workers from this generation established many of the fundamental stratigraphic concepts that we view as modem. During the mid-1960's and 1970's emphasis shifted to research on facies models, and with few exceptions stratigraphic cyclicity, sequence stratigraphy, and the genetics of basin fill processes were scarcely considered. With the advent of seismic stratigraphy, in the late 1970's, sequence stratigraphy was reborn, and with it a new generation of researchers focusing on the genetics of basin fill. The earlier book and the present volume reflect two distinct episodes of stratigraphic concept development related to two separate episodes in the history of sequence stratigraphy. In contrast to the authors of the golden book, genetic stratigraphers in the present volume have the advantage of computer-based stratigraphic modeling tools. Armed with these tools and the body of knowledge about facies models accumulated in the past 25 years, the geologic community is poised to make great strides in the development of powerful predictive models for sedimentary basin evolution.

Abstract:
High-resolution stratigraphic analysis of Cretaceous strata in the Western Interior Basin (WIB) of North America has allowed definition of numerous disconformity-bounded, eustatically and/or tectonically driven sequences and their systems tracts at 2nd- through 4th-order scale, as well as 5th- to 7th-order climate-induced cycles. Integrated event chronostratigraphy and biostratigraphy allow detailed regional tracing and facies analysis of these sequences, leading to three-dimensional modeling of facies evolution. Whether driven by relative sealevel changes or smaller scale climate cycles, Cretaceous sequences and their bounding disconformities reflect dynamic changes in many factors which moderate biological systems (e.g. sealevel and paleobathymetric changes, changes in current velocity and in erosion/sedimentation rates and patterns, watermass temperature and chemistry, etc). Predictable biological responses (patterns) to varying environmental conditions and different systems tracts are expected in sequence stratigraphy. Once defined within well-studied systems, these patterns can then be used as an independent tool for sequence stratigraphic analysis. To date, our research has focused on the development of paleobiological criteria which aid in the recognition of sequence stratigraphic frameworks, especially in basinal facies where sequence boundaries and systems tracts may be subtly defined in the physical stratigraphy. Such criteria may include the identification of sequence boundaries and other omission surfaces by punctuated character displacement in evolutionary series, by condensation or omission of biostratigraphic zones, by mixed or time-averaged community elements and biozones, and by selective colonization by firm substrate-dependent benthic communities. Gradients within and between systems are characterized by different community composition, biofacies, taxonomic and community diversity patterns, adaptive bauplans among resident taxa, taphonomic signatures, and bioevents that allow predictive biological characterization in sequence stratigraphy. Once established and correlated, sequence stratigraphic systems among different basins provide a chronostratigaphic and environmental framework within which the regional dynamics of ancient populations and communities can be evaluated, leading to the analysis and modeling of relationships between sealevel changes and biogeographic migration patterns, and the rates and patterns of evolution and extinction.

Abstract:
There are controversies on the Proterozoic stratigraphic genesis, division, correlation and palaeogeographical evolution of western Henan in China. Based on the basic description of sedimentary facies, Yunmengshan and Baicaoping formation of Proterozoic typical section in western Henan is divided into 4 third-order sequences. Sequence stratigraphy framework which reflects sedimentary and overlap is established with basis of two kinds of facies-change surface and two kinds of diachrononism in stratigraphical records. Although chronostratigraphic belonging of Precambrian strata is controversial and Precambrian sequential stratigraphic study is tremendously challenging, the establishment of sequence stratigraphy framework of proterozoic Yunmengshan and Baicaoping formation in western Henan provides actual data to reshape palaeogeographic pattern of Palaeoproterozoic North China craton. What is more, it becomes a typical example of characteristics and exploration of stratigraphic accumulation under the background of tidal action.

Abstract:
A change in sea level (or lake level) causes a change in accommodation space and sediment compensation, which then controls the formation and evolution of sequences. A multidisciplinary approach based on the integration of clay minerals, major and trace elements, paleosalinity, and three-dimensional seismic data were applied to interpret the stratigraphic sequence of the Dongying Formation in the Liaoxi low uplift. The sequence surface indicates that multistage tectonic action, paleoclimate, paleosalinity, and lake level change jointly controlled the sequence stratigraphy. The illite and illite–smectite mixed layers indicate an arid to semi-arid climate, whereas kaolinite implies humid conditions. Based on this principle, it is clear that the stratigraphic sequence is closely related to paleoclimate. Interpretation of the continental or marine character of the sediments via paleosalinity is increasingly based on the concentration of some trace elements. Hence, the sequence surface can be better evaluated through paleosalinity data. Based on the Sr/Ba and boron content, paleosalinity was evaluated and the sequence boundary was identified. Analysis of the concentration of major and trace elements was used to identify the lithology of the sedimentary region and further discern the stratigraphic sequence. These sequences are composed of lowstand, transgressive, and highstand system tracts. The work herein aimed to understand the reasons for the changes in sequences under the paleoclimate. In addition, major and trace elements, studied together with paleosalinity and clay mineral content, result in the determination of implications for sequence stratigraphy in many other basins. This paper can provide a novel method for comprehensively discerning a sequence surface.

Abstract:
The Miocene Hanjiang Formation (HJF) is a remarkable exploration target in the Pearl River Mouth Basin (PRMB). However, challenges such as bias in current sequence stratigraphic schemes, limitations in high-resolution stratigraphic schemes, and incomplete understanding of genetic mechanisms may present obstacles for refining hydrocarbon exploration strategies. This study integrates gamma ray (GR) logging data, lithological variations, sequence stratigraphy, and cyclostratigraphy to delineate connections between sequence stratigraphy and astronomical forcing. The analysis utilizes gamma-ray logging data from boreholes LFA (1250–1960 m) and LFB (1070–1955 m) in the HJF. We constructed an absolute astronomical time scale anchored at the HJF’s top boundary (10.221 ± 0.4 Ma), identifying 6 third-order sequences through detailed analysis. Notably, 18 long-eccentricity cycles (405 kyr) and distinctive 1.2-Myr obliquity modulation signals were detected in the stratigraphic record. Our study demonstrates distinct connection between third-order sequence boundaries and the 1.2-Myr obliquity cycles, congruent with both global eustatic sea-level fluctuations and regional sea-level changes in the PRMB. The integration of cyclostratigraphic methods with sequence stratigraphic analysis proves particularly valuable for objective stratigraphic subdivision and understanding third-order sequence evolution in the divergent continental margin settings of the South China Sea. This approach enhances temporal resolution on a regional scale while revealing astronomical forcing mechanisms governing sedimentary cyclicity.

Acredita-se que ela tenha um grande potencial para jazidas de hidrocarbonetos. Entretanto, há uma grande carência em estudos integrados que auxiliem no seu entendimento. O presente trabalho visa compreender a história evolutiva da bacia através da interpretação de sequências de segunda e terceira ordens em dados de sísmica de reflexão. A partir da interpretação de 40 perfis sísmicos 2D e do único poço perfurado, que encontra-se na região de plataforma, os autores puderam caracterizar importantes eventos dentro da bacia. Dentro da supersequência rifte foram reconhecidas quatro sequências deposicionais nomeadas Rift 1, Rift 2, Rift 3 e Rift 4, limitadas por três limites de sequência. Os riftes 1 e 2 têm deposições isoladas ao longo da bacia e as falhas sintéticas e antitéticas destas fases começam um processo de conexão. O Rift 3 tem a maior representatividade na bacia e seus depósitos cobrem a maior parte dela. O Rift 4 representa o fim da subsidência mecânica com menores expressões nos falhamentos e experimentou um soerguimento, o qual levou a atual plataforma continental a ficar exposta durante eventos subsequentes. A supersequência Drift foi subdividida em dois estágios drifte. Uma vez que a bacia sofreu um soerguimento ao final do seu rifteamento, o primeiro estágio do drifte tem o preenchimento sedimentar confinado ao talude e ao sopé continental. Enquanto que no segundo estágio do drifte a sedimentação ultrapassa a falha de borda e seus depósitos se sobrepõem à supersequência rifte na plataforma. Um mapa estrutural de falhas foi construído para a porção sul da Bacia de Jacuípe destacando os principais controles do falhamento, a linha de charneira da bacia, principais depocentros, o Alto Externo de Jacuípe e um alto vulcânico. O limite geográfico a sul com a Bacia de Camamu foi definido em uma zona complexa de falhas de transferência e de alívio, caracterizando assim, um limite geológico. Adaptações foram sugeridas para uma nova carta cronoestratigráfica para a porção sul da Bacia de Jacuípe.<br>ABSTRACT Jacuípe Basin is considered a new frontier basin in the northeastern Brazilian passive margin. It is believed it has a great potential for hydrocarbon plays and leads. However, it lacks in integrated studies for its understanding. The present paper aims to comprehend the evolutionary history of such basin through seismic reflection analysis of second and third orders sequences. With the interpretation of several 2-D seismic profiles and a well drilled on the platform the authors were able to distinguish important events within the basin. Within the rift supersequence it was recognized four sequences named as Rift 1, Rift 2, Rift 3 and Rift 4, limited by three sequence boundaries. Rifts 1 and 2 have scattered depositions and the synthetic and antithetic faults start a linkage process. Rift 3 has a wide spread representation throughout the basin covering most part of it. Rift 4 makes up the termination of mechanical subsidence with minor expression in faulting and has experienced an uplift whose led the currently continental shelf to be exposed most part of subsequent events. Drift supersequence was split in two drifting stages. Inasmuch as basin has undergone an uplift, the first drift stage has sedimentation confined to slope and rise regions. Whereas in the second drift stage sedimentation surpasses the border fault and its successions overlie directly rift supersequence in platform. A structural faulting map was built for southern Jacuípe Basin depicting main faulting controls and trends, basin hinge line, main depocenters, the Jacuípe External High and a volcanic plug. The geographic southern boundary with Camamu Basin was set up at a complex zone of transfer and release faults, making up a geologic limit. Adaptations were suggested for a new chronostratigraphic chart for southern Jacuípe Basin.

Abstract:
Trends in relative sea-level change, shown by curves drawn from drill core and outcrop sections in Llandoverian carbonates of the Hudson Bay Platform, were used to correlate individual parasequences among widely separated localities. Two sequences, bounded by regional disconformities, include: (1) the Severn River Formation, and (2) the Ekwan River, Attawapiskat, and Kenogami River Formations. Initial onlap of marine facies at the base of the Severn River Formation progressed from north to south, occurring first in the Hudson Bay Basin, then in the Moose River Basin; final retreat of the seas at the end of Attawapiskat time was in the opposite direction. The most extensive inundations occurred during Ekwan River and Attawapiskat depositional times. Large-scale trends in the curves delineate four major Early Silurian sea-level highstands also recognized in other basins.<br>Reefs in outcrops along the Attawapiskat River represent one interval of reef growth, had a syndepositional relief of 8-10 meters, and were terminated by a relative sea-level fall. Their present distribution is controlled by variously uplifted fault blocks.<br>The most important diagenetic processes were early marine cementation and shallow burial diagenesis, and in the southwestern Moose River Basin early secondary dolomitization.

Abstract:
Sequence stratigraphy relates changes in vertical and lateral facies distribution to relative changes in sea level. These relative changes in carbonates effect early diagenesis, types of pores, cementation and dissolution patterns. As a result, in carbonates, relative changes in sea level significantly impact the lithology, porosity, diagenesis, bed and bounding surfaces which are all factors that control fracture patterns. This study explores these relationships by integrating stratigraphy with fracture analysis and petrophysical properties. A special focus is given to the relationship between mechanical boundaries and sequence stratigraphic boundaries in three different settings: 1) Mississippian strata in Sheep Mountain Anticline, Wyoming, 2) Mississippian limestones in St. Louis, Missouri, and 3) Pennsylvanian limestones intermixed with clastics in the Paradox Basin, Utah. The analysis of these sections demonstrate that a fracture hierarchy exists in relation to the sequence stratigraphic hierarchy. The majority of fractures (80%) terminate at genetic unit boundaries or the internal flooding surface that separates the transgressive from regressive hemicycle. Fractures (20%) that do not terminate at genetic unit boundaries or their internal flooding surface terminate at lower order sequence stratigraphic boundaries or their internal flooding surfaces. Secondly, the fracture spacing relates well to bed thickness in mechanical units no greater than 0.5m in thickness but with increasing bed thickness a scatter from the linear trend is observed. In the Paradox Basin the influence of strain on fracture density is illustrated by two sections measured in different strain regimes. The folded strata at Raplee Anticline has higher fracture densities than the flat-lying beds at the Honaker Trail. Cemented low porosity rocks in the Paradox Basin do not show a correlation between fracture pattern and porosity. However velocity and rock stiffness moduli's display a slight correlation to fracture spacing. Furthermore, bed thickness is found to be only one factor in determining fracture density but with increasing strain, internal bedforms and rock petrophysical heterogeneities influence fracture density patterns. This study illustrates how integrating sedimentologic and sequence stratigraphic interpretations with data on structural kinematics can lead to refined predictive understanding of fracture attributes.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to investigate the Upper Visean substages, delineate the Visean - Serpukhovian boundary with calcareous foraminifera and interpret the foraminiferal evolution and sequence stratigraphical framework by using sedimentary cyclicity across the boundary section. For this purpose a 59,61 m thick stratigraphic section consisting of mainly limestone and partly sandstone and shale is measured in the Aziziye Gedigi and Oru&ccedil<br>oglu Formations in the Pinarbasi Region of Eastern Taurides. A detailed micropaleontological study has revealed presence of important foraminiferal groups namely, parathuramminids, earlandiids, endothyroids, archaediscids, biseriamminids, fusulinids, loeblichids, tournayellids and paleotextularids and 145 species and three biozones. The biozones are, in ascending order, Eostaffella ikensis &ndash<br>Vissarionovella tujmasensis Zone (Mikhailovsky<br>Late Visean), Endothyranopsis cf. sphaerica &ndash<br>Biseriella parva Zone (Venevsky<br>Late Visean) and Eostaffella pseudostruvei &ndash<br>Archaediscids @ tenuis stage Zone (Taurssk<br>Early Serpukhovian). A detailed microfacies analysis was carried out in order to understand the depositional history and sedimentary cyclicity and construct the sequence stratigraphic framework of the studied area. Three main depositional environments consisting of open marine, shoal or bank and tidal flat environments were interpreted based on the analysis of 12 major microfacies and 11 sub-microfacies types. Based on the vertical association of microfacies twenty-six cycles, two sequence boundaries and three sequences were recognized in the studied section and these two sequence boundaries, which correspond to the Mikhailovsky and Venevsky horizons, are the records of the global sea level changes during the Late Paleozoic Ice Age. Within this context Visean &ndash<br>Serpukhovian boundary falls in the transgressive system tract of the third sequence. The duration of cycles are calculated as 117 ky and interpreted as orbitally induced glacioeustatic cycles.

Abstract:
The Niger Delta clastic wedge formed along the West Africa passive margin. This wedge has been divided into three formations that reflect long-term progradation: 1) pro-delta shales of the Akata Formation (Paleocene to Recent), 2) deltaic and paralic facies of the Agbada Formation (Eocene to Recent) and 3) fluviatile facies of the Benin Formation (Oligocene-Recent). This study combines a three-dimensional seismic image with well log data from Delta field to describe lithic variations of the Agbada Formation and develop a sequence stratigraphic framework. The 5000-feet thick Agbada Formation in Delta field is divided by five major sequence boundaries, each observed in seismic cross sections to significantly truncate underlying strata. Sequence boundaries developed as mass flows eroded slopes steepened by the structural collapse of the Niger Delta clastic wedge. Basal deposits directly overlying areas of deepest incision along sequence boundaries formed by the migration of large, sinuous turbidite channels. Upward-coarsening sets of inclined beds, hundreds of feet thick, record progradation of deltas into turbidite-carved canyons and onto down faulted blocks. Thinner, more continuous seismic reflections higher within sequences are associated with blocky and upward-fining well-log patterns interpreted to reflect deposition in shoreline, paralic, and fluvial environments. Episodes of structural collapse of the Niger Delta clastic wedge appear to be associated with progradation of Agbada Formation sediments and the loading of underlying Akata Formation shales. Progradation may have been more rapid during third order eustatic sea level falls. Effects of syn-sedimentary deformation on patterns of sediment transport and deposition are more pronounced in lower sequences within the Agbada Formation, and include: 1) incision into foot walls of listric normal faults, 2) abrupt reorientation of channelized flow pathways across faults, and 3) thinning of deposits across crests of rollover anticlines on down thrown fault blocks. Structural controls on deposition are less pronounced within younger sequences and canyon incisions along sequence boundaries are more pronounced, suggesting that the locus of sediment accumulation and structural collapse of the clastic wedge moved farther basinward as accommodation was filled in the area of Delta field.

Abstract:
Deposits of Robertkiri field, in the central offshore area of Niger Delta, comprise a 4 km thick succession of Pliocene to Miocene non-marine and shallow marine deposits. A sequence stratigraphic framework for Robertkiri field strata was constructed by combining data from 20 well logs and a seismic volume spanning 1400 km2. Major sequences, hundreds of meters thick, define layers of reservoir and sealing strata formed during episodic progradation and retrogradation of deltaic shorelines. These deposits progress upward from fine-grained prodelta and deep water shales of the Akata Formation through paralic sandstone-shale units of the Agbada Formation and finally to sandy non-marine deposits of the Benin Formation. The Agbada Formation is divided into six third-order sequences starting at the first seismic reflection that can be mapped across the seismic volume. The Agbada Formation under Robertkiri field is complexly deformed across a succession of major, cuspate, offshore-dipping, normal faults, and associated antithetic faults and rollover anticlines within down-dropped blocks. Thickening of intervals between some reflections across major faults and away from the crests of adjacent rollover anticlines suggest syndepositional displacement. Relationships between major faults and the thickness of transparent seismic facies that comprise lower parts of the seismic record suggest faulting was associated with movement of undercompacted shales within the Akata and lower Agbada Formations. Robertkiri field is located along the proximal margin of the Coastal Swamp I depobelt, a subbasin within the Niger Delta clastic wedge formed by margin collapse into underlying undercompacted shale. Accommodation and sequence development in this setting is controlled by both structural faulting and sea level fluctuations. Upsection, sequences become thinner, more laterally uniform in thickness, less structurally deformed and contain less growth strata. Erosion along sequence boundaries becomes progressively shallower and broader, as accommodation under Robertkiri field declined and more sediment was bypassed basinward. Incisions along the base of older sequences (>100 m) is greater than 3rd order sea level falls reported to occur during the Miocene, which suggests that there were local areas of tectonic uplift within this dominantly extensional setting.

Abstract:
Abstract Currently, the sequence-stratigraphic section dismemberment is only being implemented in Ukraine, so this article is highly relevant. The authors created geological 3D model of Komyshnianske gas condensate field based on sequence-stratigraphic section dismemberment for the first time at this area. This approach is effective for the following conditions:-insufficient field geological study;-thickness of productive horizons does not reach the seismic resolution boundaries;-no significant difference in impedance values on reflection horizons. The selected technique includes the following stages:-field geological study, facies analysis (integration of well geophysical complexes, cores);-deduction and correlation of sequence boundaries;-construction of discrete log, which corresponds to specific sequences distribution;-conducting seismic interpretation of the 3D seismic survey study of research area;-construction of a structural framework with the involvement of correlated sequences boundaries;-comparison of volume seismic attributes with selected sequences distribution. A geological 3D model of Komyshnianske gas condensate field was created based on sequence-stratigraphic principles. During the research, a geological structure of field was analyzed, the separated conditions of sedimentation (sequences) were deducted and interpreted. During the seismic interpretation of 3D seismic survey of study area, local features of wave field were identified, their reflection in the core material was found and linked to the concept of changing sedimentation conditions. With a general understanding of the material transportation and accommodation direction, used method allows to qualitatively outline the distribution boundaries of sedimentation certain conditions and predict their development outside the study area. Construction of facies discrete log and their distribution in the seismic field allows grouping thin bed layers of collectors to reach the seismic resolution and use them to predict the distribution of facies associated with changes in the rocks reservoir properties (tracking beach facies of deltas/avandeltas, sloping sediments, etc.). The constructed model could be used as a trend for reservoir distribution at the stage of construction of static geological model. Involvement of sequence-stratigraphy technique is new approach to sedimentation conditions study within Dnipro-Donetsk depression (DDD) areas. The paper shows that provided methodology gives:-improved geological understanding of field through sedimentation analysis and facies logging;-trends for reservoir properties distribution with the involvement of construction facies volumes;-proposals for further field E&amp;D. The general provisions under conditions of geological materials sufficient base can be applied to other DDD areas, especially in pre-border zones. Involvement of sequence-stratigraphy technique is new approach for sedimentation conditions study within Dnipro-Donetsk depression (DDD) area. On the example of Komyshnianske gas condensate field, the article shows that provided methodology gives:-improved geological understanding of field through sedimentation analysis and facies logging;-trends for reservoir properties propagation with the involvement of seismic volume studies;-propositions for further field Exploration &amp; Development.

Abstract:
Abstract The Mesozoic stratigraphy of the Middle East is endowed with multiple world-class, economically significant petroleum systems. Since the first discovery of a major oilfield in an anticline structure in 1908 (Masjed-e-Suleyman, Iran), exploration and production in the Middle East has been largely focussed on relatively low-risk, large structural traps. However, across the Arabian Plate, unexplored structural traps at similar scales are becoming scarce. Therefore, in this mature petroleum province, attention must now focus on identifying the presence of subtle stratigraphic traps, especially within the hydrocarbon-rich Mesozoic stratigraphy. In order to locate and evaluate subtle stratigraphic traps, we have applied sequence stratigraphic principles across the Mesozoic strata of the Arabian Plate. This approach provides a regional, robust age-based framework which reduces lithostratigraphic uncertainty across international boundaries and offers predictive capabilities in the identification and extent of stratigraphic plays. Herein, we focus on three intervals of Mesozoic stratigraphy, namely Triassic, Middle-Late Jurassic and middle Cretaceous strata, in which regional sequence stratigraphic based correlations have identified stratigraphic trap potential. Each of these stratigraphic intervals are associated with the following stratigraphic traps:Triassic: Sub-crop traps associated with a base Jurassic regional unconformity and intra-Triassic unconformities. Onlap geometries associated with differential topography on the Arabian Plate.Middle-Late Jurassic: Pure stratigraphic trap geometries associated with basin margin progradation and pinch-out plays either side of the Rimthan Arch related to late Oxfordian/early Kimmeridgian sea-level fall.Middle Cretaceous: Sub-crop potential beneath the regional mid-Turonian unconformity, basin margin progradation and stratigraphic pinch-out geometries associated with onlap onto basin margins. This regional sequence stratigraphic approach highlights the remaining exploration and production opportunities within these hydrocarbon-rich stratigraphic intervals.

Abstract:
Based on a theoretical analysis, the main shortcomings of modern varieties of the concept of sequence stratigraphy are shown: they do not comply with the definition of the relative sea level, which is given by the authors themselves; the nature of tectonic immersion, which cannot have a sinusoidal shape, is not taken into account; the boundaries of sequences, identified as subaerial disagreements on the periphery of the cover, are unlawfully compared with consonant boundaries within the basins. The need for a thorough review of this concept based on the new basic provisions is shown.
