Figure One

Figure 1

Time-structure and amplitude, D-1 reflector, Shanghai Field area. Contour interval 0.010 seconds (about 40 ft). Highs spots are downthrown closures and dim.
Figure Two

Figure 2

Time-structure and amplitude, E-1 reflector, Shanghai Field area. Contour interval 0.002 seconds (about 8 ft). High spots are southeast-dipping flaps and dim.
Figure Three

Figure 3

Dipline from 3-D survey over Shanghai Field, showing productive E-1 flap, overlying D-1 high and D-3, D-5 bright spots at the GWC.
Figure Four

Figure 4

Dipline from 3-D survey over Ladd #1 Appling, showing lack of flap, high and production.
Figure Five

Figure 5

Dipline from 3-D survey over the Henry closure, showing cognate features to Shanghai Field, and well trajectories.
