Zusammenfassung:This paper will address mainly industrial aspects of sequence stratigraphy since the seventies: new advances in seismic marine acquisition and large efforts for margins exploration, provided continuous 2D set of data, from platform environment to deep marine basins, revealing the importance of non-deposition periods. The seismic stratigraphy then allowed the development of the sequence stratigraphy at the end of the eighties and during the nineties. At the end of the eighties, a crucial need was formulated to quantify geology. The solution has been the use of sequence stratigraphy, as it was proven later that this tool was the key for understanding and then for prediction.Original Abstract: Cet article porte surtout sur les aspects et developpements industriels de la stratigraphie sequentielle depuis le debut des annees 70: les progres de la sismique marine et l'exploration intensive des marges oceaniques ont permis d'obtenir des donnees 2D de haute qualite et continues, depuis la plate-forme jusqu'aux domaines de bassins profonds. Cette periode a vu la creation de la stratigraphie sismique, qui a son tour a permis le considerable developpement de la stratigraphie sequentielle a la fin des annees 1980 et durant les annees 1990. A la fin des annees 1980, est apparue la necessite de quantifier les informations et connaissances geologiques pour repondre aux besoins de l'industrie. La solution fut l'application des concepts de la stratigraphie sequentielle, qui se sont reveles etre les outils cles pour la comprehension de l'evolution des systemes sedimentaires et leur prediction.
