Channel-levee complexes can show highly variable continuity between the channels and levees ([[:File:M91FG195.JPG|Figure 3]]). It is common for hydrocarbons in the channel-fill sandstones to be poorly connected with the levee sediments. The channel fills may be younger than the levees themselves, and the beds in the proximal levee deposits may be discontinuous (Cronin et al., 2000; Beaubouef, 2004). Kneller et al. (2007) noted that collapse structures, including rotated blocks, slide sheets, slump folds, and thick debris flows, are common on levee margins and may contribute to poor reservoir continuity. | Channel-levee complexes can show highly variable continuity between the channels and levees ([[:File:M91FG195.JPG|Figure 3]]).
