Cellar oil targets can also occur ([[:File:M91FG194.JPG|Figure 2d]]). Early sand input into a receiving basin tends to pond into the bathymetric lows. The seabed will eventually become smoother as the lows are filled in. Later sand flows will spill beyond the extent of the previous flows. These show a more tabular geometry and will be spread across a larger area than the underlying sediments, creating a fill and spill geometry. The ponded sand bodies can potentially hold isolated oil volumes by comparison to the more extensive later flows, which may be better swept.
