RKT, without saying anything about the size of each prospect, my understanding about the geology of the JDZ is that it is made up of individual traps as illustrated by this JDA graphic:
So you might not want to encourage expections of the prospects being interconnected over all the blocks.
From my novice read, the following commentary from the JDA seems to indicate the JDZ's structures are sectioned into "sheets":
"The structures within the thrust domain are compressional in origin and consist of simple thrust sheets. The average width of the individual thrust sheets is of the order of 5 km. This domain presents large structural closures which are likely to be less fractured due to exposure to lesser compressional forces.
The proximal imbricate sub-domain is situated to the southeast of the simple thrust domain. Structural dips in this area are high and the average width of the individual thrust sheets are of the order of 1 to 2 km. The distal imbricate zone is situated to the southwest of the of the simple thrust domain with individual thrust sheets of the order of 2 to 3 km."
