Seismic Sequence Stratigraphic Sub-Division Using Well Logs and Seismic Data of Taranaki Basin, New Zealand

This study focuses on the sequence stratigraphy and dominated seismic facies in Central Taranaki basin. Four regional sequences namely SEQ4 to SEQ1 from bottom top four boundaries representing unconformities H4 H1 have been traced based reflection terminations. was validated using well logs information. An onlapping feature section indicates a new perspective surface separated between upper lower Giant formation, which period of seawater encroachment. focused extensively deposition units SEQ1. The facies, isochron map, depositional environment were determined, system tract established. also able propose framework basin probable hydrocarbon accumulations general geological aspect, SA-Middle Formation (SEQ3) could act as potential traps.
