Submarine channel-fills with facies architectural asymmetry and varying stacking patterns are documented. Two end-member types of drapes (bypass drapes vs. deposition drapes) are present in the channel fills. Bypass drapes and depositional drapes are characterized by different character, genesis and recognition criteria. This study presents new insights into submarine channel facies architecture which are applicable to hydrocarbon reservoirs.
