Cartoon illustrating the stratigraphic distribution of braided- and meandering-river deposits that comprise Glenn Pool field. The Savanna Formation (orange) underlies the valley fill. The braided-river deposit sits atop the unconformity and underlies the meandering-river deposit. A porosity versus permeability plot shows that the braided-river facies is of better reservoir quality than is the meandering-river deposit, because the braided-river deposit is coarser grained. After Kerr et al. (1999) and Ye and Kerr (2000).
