On: 'A 3-D seismic case history evaluating fluvially deposited thin‐bed reservoirs in a gas‐producing property,' by B. A. Hardage, R. A. Levey, V. Pendleton, J. Simmons, and R. Edsen (November 1994 G<scp>EOPHYSICS</scp>, 59, p. 1650–1665)

Hardage et al. (1994) conducted a study at Stratton Field with the purpose of detecting thin‐bed compartmented reservoirs in a fluvially deposited system (Oligocene Frio Formation), and rightly concluded that, in order to determine which seismically imaged stratigraphic changes are compartment boundaries, it is necessary to incorporate geologic and reservoir engineering data (particularly reservoir pressure data) into seismic interpretation. Their interpretation philosophy consisted of defining depositional stratal surfaces (I would rather say paleodepositional surfaces), and in analyzing seismic reflection amplitude behavior on such surfaces.
