Summary
Sequence stratigraphy:
an integrated
framework
- for petroleum systems analysis and
- predictive models for prospect
generation
Sequences are controlled by a complex
interaction
of tectonism, eustasy, sediment
supply and climate
Several approaches exist, differing
mainly in terms of
principal bounding surfaces; one or
another may be

Lithostratigraphy
Units are defined based on lithology
Rock units vary in space and time
Boundaries are subjective, and not
physical since lateral facies changes are
gradational

Chronostratigraphy
Units defined based on time-equivalent
stratal surfaces, natural stratigraphic
subdivisions
Chronozones vary in space but not time
Correspond to physical boundaries, which
can generate reflections
