Chiu This is a preliminary study investigating the geological potential for oil and gas exploration in Taiping Island area. Based on geological and explorational b ackgrounds of the South China Sea, current understanding of sequence stratigraphy, development of carbonate platform, along with multi-channel seismic data northern offshore Taiping Island, we determined a series of sequence boundaries reflecting (sequence boundary) stacking pattern of system tracts and the sea level changes. Correlating identif ied sequence boundaries with global geological sea level fluctuations, we further determined the ages of the sequence boundaries and suggested that there are Miocene carbonate beneath the Zhenghe Reef and Taiping Island, similar to main carbonate reservoir rocks in South China Sea. We hoped more geological and geophy sical investigations in the Taiping Island area can be carried out to provide information about the stratigraphic and structural distributions and geological time framework. 關鍵詞： Key words: carbonate, sequence stratigraphy, South China Sea, Taiping Island 1 Institute of Oceanography, N
