As prefaced by the authors, this special publication of the Norwegian Petroleum Society (NPF) stems from a conference, titled “Predictive High Resolution Sequence Stratigraphy,” sponsored by the society. The first half of the book consists of six studies dedicated to a conceptual overview of sequence stratigraphy and stratigraphic simulation applications and philosophies, while the second half focuses on 12 studies covering high‐resolution sequence descriptions relating to the distribution and modeling of hydrocarbon reservoirs in the North Sea basin.While the high‐resolution theme is beautifully developed and illustrated in regards to conveying the characteristics of reservoir sands, the supporting modeling studies are somewhat limited, showing a strong emphasis on two‐dimensional geometric formulations. Simulations are presented for depositional stratigraphic systems in locales such as the United States, North and Barents Sea basins, and Bangladesh.
