Executive Summary
...
3-D seismic data has been used to image practically every exploration objective in western Kansas, including delineation of incised valley-fill reservoirs (e.g., Montgomery, 1996; Montgomery and Morrison, 1999) and identification of local structural features that could not be properly identified with well-control alone, or even with a combination of well and 2-D seismic data.
Many of the prospects in Kansas have been structural plays, where 3-D seismic time-structure and interval time-thickness maps have been valuable tools in locating small structural highs.
