The lateral shifting of depositional lobes within the stacked sandstones of the ''Glob alt'' reservoir at the East Breaks 160-161 field clearly demonstrates the need to carefully map the internal seismic facies and amplitude patterns within prospects in order to optimize prediction of sandstone occurrence. In concert with detailed fault-pattern maps, the highly compartmentalized reservoir can be delineated and wells optimally located. Additionally, seismic facies maps may suggest downflank or off-structure potential where faulting may not impose development problems. Construction of detailed seismic facies and fault pattern maps, preferably using 3-D seismic reflection volumes, results in a higher success rate of finding the closely spaced but laterally discontinuous reservoirs of gravity-flow intraslope basin plays.
