[[file:flow-units-for-reservoir-characterization_fig2.png|300px|thumb|{{figure number|2}}Some examples of lithofacies and flow unit subdivisions of clastic and carbonate reservoirs. (a) Lithofacies and (b) flow unit subdivision of the Shannon Sandstone body in the Hartzog Draw field, Powder River basin, Wyoming. (Modified from Hearn et al.<ref name=pt06r51 />) (c) Lithofacies and (d) reservoir facies (flow unit) subdivision of the Rainbow Lake reef reservoir (“A” Pool), Alberta, Canada.

Examples of field studies that apply the flow unit concept are listed in Table 1. A larger number of studies have identified and mapped lithofacies control on geometry and petrophysical properties of reservoirs but have not applied a flow unit classification to these subdivisions. Some examples are listed in Table 2 and illustrated in [[:file:flow-units-for-reservoir-characterization_fig2.png|Figure 2]]. These studies are good examples of the stratigraphic and sedimentological component of the process of flow unit subdivision.
