A 32-layer, 1-D mathematical model ([[:file:sedimentary-basin-analysis_fig4-53.png|Figure 1]]) was constructed for the East Breaks 160-161 minibasin. The No. A-29 well in block 160 was used for stratigraphic and thermal control, including borehole temperature surveys and [[vitrinite reflectance]] data. [[Modeling]] was extended [[depth::3,000 ft]] (1000 m) below true vertical drilling depth (12,000 ft, 4000 m) to evaluate the underlying speculated source potential of the middle and lower Miocene section. The figure is a north-south seismic reflection profile across the East Breaks 160-161 intraslope minibasin (see Figures 4-42 and 4-44). The deviated wellbore of the East Breaks well 160 No. A-29 is marked with a white dashed line. Reservoirs for analyzed oils are indicated for the ''Hyal B'' HB-2 reservoir and for the ''Glob alt'' GA-3 reservoir. Rock cutting samples from intervals indicated by A and B were used by Dow et al.<ref name=ch04r29>Dow, W. G., M. A. Yukler, J. T. Senftle, M. C. Kennicutt, and J. M.
