Abstract
Greater Sirikit East oil and gas field is located just to the east of the Sirikit Main field in the S1 concession, Phitsanulok<br>Basin, Thailand. The main reservoirs are fluvio-deltaic Lan Krabu formation members of K, L and M that interfinger with the<br>open lacustrine Chumsaeng formation. Hydrocarbon traps in the field can be grouped into structural and stratigraphic traps.<br>Numerous small structural closures have been proven to be hydrocarbon bearing. Delineation and development well drillings<br>have also proven the working stratigraphic trap system in the absence of structural trap. In some structural closure, observed<br>hydrocarbon column heights from well data exceed their relevant structural spill point, invoking the larger working<br>stratigraphic trap system responsible for the hydrocarbon accumulation.
