ABSTRACT

Interpretation of three-dimensional reflection seismic data to characterize channels is an effective way to understand the evolution of complex channel systems. Two surveys from the Taranaki Basin were used to observe and characterize the evolution of mid to late Miocene channel complexes along a prograding continental shelf-slope. Architectural elements of deep-water channel systems reveal a systematic change as the system progresses from a proximal shelf-slope environment to a more distal, weakly confined system.
