Although there remains considerable debate as to the merits of sequence stratigraphy (Embry, 1995; Dickinson, 2003; Catuneanu et al, 2009; Bhattacharya, 2011), it is widely practiced, especially in the oil and gas industry (Miall, 2016). This paper addresses the question, what problem did sequence stratigraphy solve and why has it been so successful? We review lithostratigraphic practices prior to the advent of sequence stratigraphy, with an emphasis on fluvio-deltaic depositional systems, and show that they mostly failed to capture the complexity required to define reservoir-seal pairs in the oil and gas industry. Although it required the advent of seismic data before sequence concepts could be fully applied, , the proprietary nature of seismic data, a lack of rigorous scholarship in early publications, and an emphasis on eustasy versus tectonics, led to widespread skepticism and even derision by much of the academic community.
