A 3-D perspective view of a subsurface structure map, undeveloped offshore West Africa reservoir, draped with a 2-D spectral decomposition image. The reservoir is a sandy turbidite filling an erosional valley at a depth of about 3,100 meters. The draped image also conveys a 3-D perspective by showing three different slices through the reservoir section with different color bars (red, green and blue). Understanding the vertical stacking patterns of flow units is important for determining optimum drainage.
