==Scale and trap detection==
Scale makes a difference in ease of detection and, hence, affects risk. In the figures below, Pennsylvanian carbonate reef margin depositional sequences from the Delaware and Paradox basins, U.S.A., are compared. Note the difference in scale and how it affects [[seismic interpretation]]. Seismic detection of the Paradox basin traps is much more difficult because of the wavelength of the seismic wave vs. the reservoir thickness.
