The internal structure and division of deep-water sequence of Miocene in the Block X of Congo Fan Basin
This article based on drilling and seismic data from Congo Block X,analyzed sequence internal structure and interface characteristics of Miocene in the study area.It is pointed out that Miocene deep-water sequence in Congo fan basin is with dual-structure,and the sequence interface corresponds to good seismic reflection on seismic data.Based on sequence internal structure and sequence interface characteristics,combined with West African coastal sea level and tectonic activity,2 second-order sequences and 7 third-order sequences were identified in Miocene,providing a sequence stratigraphic framework with guiding significance for oil and gas exploration in the study area.
