Contents:

Front Cover; Sequence Stratigraphy on the Northwest European Margin; Copyright Page; Preface; List of Contributors; Contents; Part I: Introduction; Chapter 1. Sequence boundaries and sequence hierarchies: problems and proposals; Chapter 2. Sequence stratigraphy theory: remarks and recommendations; Chapter 3. Sequence stratigraphy, three dimensions and philosophy; Chapter 4. Practical dynamic modelling of clastic basin fill; Chapter 5. Differentiation of incised valley systems from mobile streams: some examples from the Oseberg Field, Norwegian North Sea.

Summary: Sequence Stratigraphy, presently one of the most rapidly growing areas in geology, is concerned with the documentation and prediction of how sandstones (potential hydrocarbon reservoirs) and shales (potential source rocks) are distributed in time and space within sedimentary basins. The book takes a critical look at some of the sequence stratigraphy concepts, and provides an account of how these have been applied recently in NW Europe (North Sea, mid Norway and E. Greenland, Barents Sea and Svalbard), mainly in connection with the exploration for oil and gas. There is currently no similar book available.
