Figure 10
Change in (A) recovery factor and (B) time of water breakthrough with increasing barrier coverage for models of a single delta-lobe deposit (parasequence 1.6, Figures 3C, 4, 9) with different spacings of modeled clinoforms. Waterflooding is up structural dip and down depositional dip, with a target oil production rate over 20 yr of 
(1100 bbl/day). For 70% barrier coverage, a range of values is given for recovery factor and date of water breakthrough. Although the trend used to place barriers along clinoforms and the overall percentage of the surface that acts as a barrier to flow is honored, the local position of barriers along clinoforms changes with each stochastic realization. Flow-simulation results of stacked delta-lobe parasequences containing clinoforms with a 90% barrier to flow along them, spaced 100 m (328 ft) apart (Figure 7), show close correspondence with equivalent models of a single delta-lobe deposit.
