Abstract:

Geological data collected from Tarim Basin indicate that detachment beds are closely related to depositional sequeces.Mudstone-shale detachment is generally corresponding todense section of the depositional sequence; gypsum-salt detachment is roughly equivalent to low-water level system reaml of the sequence. Under certain condition, the two kinds ofdetachment could be used to identify dense section and low-water level system domain and toclassify depositional sequence
