The geological and reservoir properties of sedimentary rocks depend upon an interplay of tectonics, sea level, sediment supply, physical and biological processes of sediment transport and deposition, and climate. At the basin scale, these processes interact to produce the geometric arrangement of different depositional environments or systems tracts through time, known as the stratigraphic architecture of the basin.<ref name=pt06r88>Miall, A. D., 1984, Principles of Sedimentary Basin Analysis: New York, Springer-Verlag, 490 p.</ref> At smaller scales, these processes control the external geometry and internal “anatomy” of clastic sediment bodies (see [[Geological heterogeneities]]). It is at this smaller scale that lithofacies analysis and interpretation of depositional environments become important for reservoir evaluation.
