Abstract
This paper shows how the external drift method can be used to combine data from seismic campaigns, which are numerous but inaccurate, with that from a small number of wells, to give more accurate contour maps and also to model faults. The successive improvements made in the maps as more information became available will be stressed, together with the economic consequences of this.
