Stratal slices made from the seismic-based lithology cube are then used to interpret depositional facies and systems.

Well- and seismic-based, high-resolution sequence analysis and seismic stratal slicing provide reservoir-scale (20 m) seismic representations of diagenetic units.

Expected maps range from key interpreted well-seismic sections, flattened relative geologic-time sections, stratal slices, and depositional facies maps, etc.
