Sedimentary systems in the trench-slope basins along the active continental margins: An example from one block in the Arakan sea basin, Myanmar

The sedimentary systems are explored on the basis of 2D seismic data for the target strata in one block in the Arakan Coast basin, Myanmar developed in the trench-slope basins along the active continental margin. The results of research in this study have disclosed that the sedimentary stsyems in the study area dominantly consist of the littoral-shallow sea, delta, turbidite fan, incised valley, bathyal continental slope and bathyal plain sedimentary systems. The reservoir rocks are mainly developed in the littoral-shallow sea, delta and turbidite fan sedimentary systems. The small-sized trench-slope basins may be host to the medium-or small-sized block oil-gas pools dominated by natural gas.
