13 Sedimentological Character 10 cm Massive sandstones erosional bases and commonly sharp tops. Graded sandstones Injected sandstone beds Thinly bedded (cmscale) sands and shales Laminated pelagic shales A range of sandstone and thinly bedded, channelised gravity flows 13

17 Component Sandbodies Laterally amalgamated channels Aggrading sinuous channels Channels with frontal splays Prograding sandsheets Seismically-defined elements calibrated by core and FMI data 17
18 Laterally Amalgamated Channels North Channel belt 1-2km wide Remnant pods 100 s m scale Channels up to 30m thick 2km Basal part of channel system dominated by laterally stacked channels 18
19 Aggrading Sinuous Channels North Channels 10 s km long and m wide Thickness of 10-20m and stacks up to 80m thick. 2km Medial parts of stratigraphy dominated by aggradational channels 19
20 Aggrading Sinuous Channels North Line A-A Line B-B A A 600 m B B 600 m Aggradational stacking pattern with limited lateral migration 20
21 Channels with Frontal Splays Channel components are 1-2km long and c.100m wide Frontal splays are 1-2km long and 500m and 2km wide d Sandbodies c.10-15m thick b Composite sandbodies built of low efficiency flows 2km Composite channelised sandbodies built of low efficiency flows 21
22 Syn-Sedimentary Tectonics North 1 km 2 km 1 km Channel diversions and ponding suggest syn-depositional tectonics 22
23 Syn-Sedimentary Tectonics Ponding of flows and deflection of flows on to the footwall of syn-sedimentary fault Extensional growth fault Channel course deflected around the tip of synsedimentary normal fault Northward flow Direction Channel diversions and ponding suggest syn-depositional tectonics 23
24 Prograding Sandsheets North Lobate planforms up to 4km wide down-dip Sandsheets are c.10m thick. Fed by very narrow (50-100m wide) sinuous channels Shingled stacking 2km Further suggestion of syn-depositional tectonics? 24
25 Stratigraphic Evolution of the Channel System Stage I III IV VI Sediment Laterally Aggrdational Channel Abandonment Prograding by-pass, with amalgamated sandsheets sinuous frontal erosion maximum splays and slumping channels and flooding leveed Channel channels initiation 6 stages in the evolution of the Sequoia channel system 25
26 Conclusions Impact on Reservoir Heterogeneity Abandoment mudstones (Stage V) at the top of the reservoir provide a seal and isolate the sandsheets above (Stage VI) General upward decrease in sand content through reservoir Smaller composite channels comprising small channels with frontal splays higher potential for isolation (Stage IV) West East Irregular incision surface traps perched water (Stage I) Injected sand has the potential to vertically link otherwise isolated sandbodies (Stage IV) c. 50m c.2km Aggradational sinuous channels promote vertical connectivity (Stage III) Amalgamated channels with high degree of lateral connectivity (Stage II) Thin beds increase lateral connectivity between isolated channels (Stage III) Reservoir heterogeneity intimately linked with channel system evolution 26
