The Sorrento field reservoir is Pennsylvanian Morrow valley-fill sandstones. As shown in the figure below, structure contours on a marker bed above the Morrow Sandstone reflect the irregular thickness of the sandstone body and a small structural nose and closure. The oil column is [[length::70 ft]] [[depth::(20 m]]) and exceeds structural closure. This is a combination structural-[[stratigraphic trap]]. Fluvial sandstones lap onto marine shale at the margins of the valley, forming lateral seals. | The Sorrento field reservoir is Pennsylvanian Morrow valley-fill sandstones.
