Abstract: Based on the analysis of seismic data from oil basins in North China,North Jiangsu and South Sea etc., the authors conclude that: (1) making use of seismic data, more hiatuses may be found which are significant to the study of development of oil basins and to the location of stratigraphic oil pools; (2)seismic data serve as the most effective means for determining the direction of paleocurrent. A study of the paleocurrent direction in the three depressions at Banchiao, Yangcheng and Chutang reveals that they were intercommunicated with the surrounding depressions and were controlled by some major current system and(3)the amplitude, frequency, continuity, internal structure of reflections as well as configuration of the reflecting units are the basis for determining the seismic facies and predicting the depositional environment of any prospect before drilling.

摘要： 地震地层学是近年来石油地质科学领域中新诞生的科学分支,由于它能够提供未经钻探地区的地下三维空间上长距离内连续的地层、岩性、构造和可能的含油气情况的信息,所以显得有特别强的生命力。近年来,笔者对大港、东濮、盐城、曲塘、南海等地的地震资料作了一些分析,现将初步认识总结如下。
