Wave-dominated deltaic strata form prolific hydrocarbon plays in many mature basins across the world. Examples include the Jurassic Brent Group play in the North Sea, offshore UK and Norway (e.g., Husmo et al., 2003), Eocene Jackson Group and Oligocene Frio Formation plays, Texas, onshore USA (e.g.,...
