Introduction to the Recovery and Technology of Palaeogeomorphology in Sedimentary Basins

Abstract:

The control action of palaeogeomorphology to sedimentation is a hotspot of research in recent years, especially in the analysis of oil and gas basin. This paper is based on the history and present of palaeogeomorphology research and summarizes the recovery method of palaeogeomorphology. In the work of recover palaeogeomorphology, recovery of denuded thickness is one of the most important steps. Principles and the applicability of each method are analyzed, such as depositional rate, vitrinite reflectance and so on.
