Cenozoic tectonic subsidence in deepwater sags in the Pearl River Mouth Basin, northern South China Sea

The Cenozoic tectonic subsidence of the deepwater area in the Pearl River Mouth Basin, northern South China Sea is studied by subsidence analysis via backstripping calculations based on data of newly interpreted sequence boundaries. In the subsidence analysis local porosity–depth parameters were estimated based on well data, the paleo-water depth parameters and lithology were estimated for all grid nodes based on well data and sedimentary system...
