Well, in this case it's pretty reasonable if you consider the seismic velocity models of the 1980s to today. The imaging of the subsurface that we can do today is quite impressive compared to the 1980s.

Sure, but the data must be acquired. Absence of data does not imply presence of oil.

Yes, it is. I worked a horizontal well a few years ago and had a cross section to work with generated by 3-D. It was pretty darned accurate.
