“南非近海分流盆地的层序地层学”是Soekor(Pty)有限公司从1987年开始在南非共和国进行近海勘探和钻探计划的结果。地震地层学数据和钻孔信息被合并和发布，这是层序地层学新领域的第一批详细和全面的出版实例之一。该项目是在南非近海17.5万平方公里的普莱莫斯盆地、布雷达斯多普盆地和奥兰治盆地进行的，这些盆地都是与冈瓦那分裂有关的不同盆地的例子。识别和对比了126~67 Ma白垩纪的34个三级层序。这本书是以超大的11“×24”风景格式出版的，在这本图文并茂的卷中，它很适合于众多的地震线和横截面。对每个盆地进行了详细的研究，包括对构造、古地理和沉积环境的讨论，以及主要基于区域地震解释的层序地层学。层序地层学解释应用于油气远景的产生和钻井结果的评价是最终的结果，其提供的方式比典型的石油行业出版物更开放和更具启发性。
“Sequence Stratigraphy in Offshore South African Divergent Basins” is the result of an offshore exploration and drilling program by Soekor (Pty) Ltd in the Republic of South Africa beginning in 1987. Seismic stratigraphic data and borehole information were incorporated and released in what was one of the first detailed and comprehensive published examples of the new field of sequence stratigraphy. The project was conducted over a South African offshore area of 175,000 km2, in the Pletmos, Bredasdorp, and Orange basins, which are examples of divergent basins associated with the breakup of Gondwana. Thirty-four third-order Cretaceous sequences between 126 and 67 Ma were recognized and correlated. The book is published in an oversized 11” × 24” landscape format, which works well for the numerous seismic lines and cross sections in this heavily illustrated volume. Each basin is examined in detail, including discussion of the tectonic, paleogeographic, and depositional settings, and the sequence stratigraphy based in large part on regional seismic interpretation. The application of the sequence stratigraphic interpretations to generation of petroleum prospects and evaluation of drilling results is the end result, provided in a manner that is far more open and enlightening than is the case for typical petroleum industry publications.
