You are responsible for correlating a seismic event that corresponds to a key reservoir. Seismically, this reservoir has little to no character, so correlation is very challenging. Nevertheless, you have managed to establish what you consider to be a reasonable correlation (blue line, figure 1) that you have been able to extend to a large normal fault. A well has drilled through the fault and the key reservoir was faulted out.
