Popis:	The wide acceptance and application of sequence stratigraphic principles by exploration and production (E&P) professionals has been accompanied by frequent misuse of the associated terminology—such as indiscriminately interchanging the terms channel and valley. In reality, channels and valleys are distinct paleogeomorphic features. There are significant, practical differences between them that unfold when searching for or exploiting hydrocarbon reservoirs within incised valleys.
