==Scale and trap detection==

==Scale and trap detection==

Scale makes a difference in ease of detection and, hence, affects risk. In [[:file:exploring-for-stratigraphic-traps_fig21-4.png|Figure 1]], Pennsylvanian carbonate reef margin depositional sequences from the Delaware and Paradox basins, U.S.A., are compared. Note the difference in scale and how it affects [[seismic interpretation]]. Seismic detection of the Paradox basin traps is much more difficult because of the wavelength of the seismic wave vs. the reservoir thickness.
