Figure 174A-2. Drilling strategy across an ideal clinoform. Stratal geometry (upper panel), time-distance diagram (middle panel) and facies (lower) of two idealized sequences typical of the Oligocene through Miocene section offshore New Jersey. The optimal drillsite location shown here minimizes the hiatus across the younger sequence boundary (SB2) and provides an opportunity to estimate relative sea-level changes associated with SB2.
