Drilling has documented that the East Breaks depocenter in the vicinity of the 160-161 field contains at least [[depth::15,000 ft]] (5000 m) of upper [[Miocene]] to [[Holocene]] sediment ([[:File:Sedimentary-basin-analysis_fig4-43.png|Figure 5]]). Dow et al.<ref name=ch04r29 /> use this thickness in calculating [[maturation]] and generation models. The thickness of overburden rock for any one of the older potential [[source rock]] intervals will be greater than [[depth::15,000 ft]] (5000 m), but the exact amount is highly speculative.
