    [abstract] => This paper presents preliminary interpretation of geological attributes of a high-sinuosity fluvial outcrop with the primary purpose of describing principal sediment facies, sand-body architecture, internal geometry, and initial assessment of facies-scale reservoir quality based on field observations and measurements. The information is used to conceptualise a geological concept for the fluvial body, which covers an estimated area of 48 km2. 
Four principal facies groups are recognised based on dominant lithology. These are: (F1) sand-prone heterolithic, (F2) sandstone, (F3) mud-prone heterolithic, and (F4) mudstone. 
Field observations show that thick floodplain mudstone separate point bars, creating isolated stacking of sand bodies with potential as flow barriers. Presence of reservoir-quality sand in crevasse splays may help to improve vertical connectivity between two point bars. Presence of mud-lined lateral accretion surfaces within point bars may act as barriers to fluid flow in reservoir analogues. Furthermore, clay plugs that are randomly distributed, particularly at the basal parts of point bars, may cause flow baffling in reservoirs with similar depositional setting and geological attributes.
