Abstract
This study emphasizes a localized stress field (i.e., point sourced) associated with sandy mouth bar deposits, which acted as fault initiation points. This contrasts with the distributed stress regimes commonly associated with regional-scale growth faults along continental margins. This can lead to expanded, but localized, reservoir compartments within river-dominated deltaic systems, especially those in epeiric seas or other shallow-water sedimentary basins, such as Prudhoe Bay Field, Alaska.
