Reservoired oils in the East Breaks 160-161 field are more thermally mature than the surrounding sediments, demonstrating that the hydrocarbons were contributed from deeper [[source rocks]]. Their generation history is controlled by the thermal gradient and overburden rock accumulation history, interpreted from both regional depocenter patterns and local minibasin history. Fault and salt-wall migration pathways provide vertical avenues for migration. Slope basin gravity-flow sands are the principal reservoir target in the High Island–East Breaks area for all except the most shallow stratigraphic intervals, where wave-dominated deposition of shelf sands produced laterally continuous sheet-like reservoirs subsequently draped over anticlinal structure.
