Figure 15:[PDF, 3,466KB]:Seismic line (DWGAB-10) across Release Areas S09-2 and 3 (portion of seismic line shown in Figure 4 [PDF, 3,063KB]; refer to Figure 2 [PDF, 416KB]:for location of seismic line) showing typical structural plays such as lowside and highside fault traps at multiple stratigraphic levels (arrowed). Key supersequence boundaries are labelled.
Figure 16:
