Abstract：The seismic sedimentology is a continuous development of seismic stratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy,and has been paid much attention in recent ten years,especially in its principle,continental and marine classic sedimentary sandbodies,carbonate and mixed deposits,prediction of seismic diagenetic facies,fine characterization of sandbodies,new geophysical methods and techniques,RGB fusion of seismic attributes,and 3D visualization carving geobodies,etc. The future development of seismic sedimentology should concentrate on seismic geomorphological model,new method of seismic lithology,seismic sedimentology for exploration and exploitation, geophysical inversion methods,and artificial intelligent technology,etc. The gradually improvement of theory and methods in seismic sedimentology as well as the extended application of seismic sedimentology in hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation will increase its economic efficiency.
