Sequence Stratigraphy of Jurassic Succession in Central Junggar Basin, China

Abstract:

Sequence stratigraphic features of the Jurassic succession in Central Junggar Basin were investigated by integrating multiple materials including cores, well and seismic data. Due to their unique formation mechanism, sequences of the target interval were analyzed with a binary systems tract mode (each complete sequence contains a transgressive systems tract and a highstand systems tract) rather than the traditional one. Basic principles and analytical methods of high-resolution sequence stratigraphy were also applied to this research. By adopting cyclic correlation and hierarchical control techniques, eight sequences (Sq1-Sq8) were identified in the target interval. Especially, coal seams are of great significance in the sequence identification and they were considered to be closely relevant to maximum flooding surfaces (mfs).
