Direct charging occurs laterally from the source rock into coeval reservoir rock, as well as by vertical migration through strata and along faults. Old aulocogen borders likely had some influence on where the abrupt facies changes occurred from shelf carbonates to basinal-equivalent facies. Basinal facies are absent in large portions of the Khoreyver Depression.
Algal content is high.
Few pinnacle or patch reefs developed in the depositional system.
