Abstract—Sequence stratigraphy is a great contribution to the “mathematical microscope” due to its multi-resolution and
analysis and characterization of oil reservoirs. But how to multi-scale analysis property. The signal can be decomposed

time-frequency local adjustable performance to be able to demarcation of sequence stratigraphy. In the analysis and
