Figure 6: A contoured estimated ultimate recovery from wells in the Rulison Gas Field (GRI, 1997). Interpreted faults from 3-D seismic (red) and from aeromagnetic survey (yellow) produce lateral seals to the tight gas sand compartments within the field. The footprint of the full-fold 3-D seismic survey is outlined in black.
