Application of seismic stratigraphic techniques is nowadays standard practice for interpreting seismic data sets. The advantage of seismic stratigraphy for geological studies lies in the fact that the method combines different scales of observation: large scale remote sensing seismic measurements and the high-resolution well control logging I outcrop approach (Veeken 2007). Many workers have embraced seismic stratigraphic principles to add value to their seismic observations (e.g. Payton et al. 1977, Brown and Fisher 1976 and
1980, Rochow 1981, Halbouty 1982, Berg and Woolverton 1985, Bally 1987, Wilgus et al. 1988, Ziegler
1990, Armentrout and Perkins 1991, Cramez et al. 1993, Den Hartog Jager et al. 1993, Henri 1994, Brown
1999, Cosentino 2001, Biju-Duval 2002, Davies et al. 2004, Pomerol et al. 2005, Catuneanu 2006, Miall
2010). The proposed seismic interpretation procedure represents a systematic workflow that has proven to be a very powerful prediction tool for the evaluation of the subsurface structuration.
Conventional stratigraphy deals with data obtained from studies of outcrops, rock samples and petro• physical measurements obtained in boreholes (Rawson et al. 200 I). It allows determination of lithofa• cies, environment of deposition and the assignment of ages (or relative ages) to discrete observation points. Data between these calibration points are normally interpolated, often done in a rather crude and simplistic way (Figure 1.1 ). Moreover, the information stemming from various study techniques are not always directly in line with each other and this may lead to erroneous conclusions on the amount and exact nature of the geological change in the subsurface (Veeken 1997).
