Changes

Stratigraphically complex fields are those that exhibit a high degree of vertical and lateral heterogeneity that is directly controlled by the environment of deposition (Table 1). This heterogeneity occurs at all scales (see “[[Geological heterogeneities]]”). It can result in a highly variable distribution of rock properties within one reservoir and the division of a single stratigraphic interval into multiple reservoirs that act as independent, self-contained compartments.
