Valley fills are important fluvial reservoir elements in producing foreland basins. The architecture, sizes and orientations of these fluvial sandbodies, however, present strong subsurface uncertainties to reservoir geologists. The well-exposed thick-bedded sandy channels and shale wedges of the Pen...
