JUST A POINT OF VIEW OF GEOLOGIST,

What I know as exploration geologist is that we choose the well position 200 m to 300 m far from the interpreted fault on seismic section.

the reason is that the fault is not in fact only one plane or surface, but many planes, it is a fault zone. So we try drill further enough to avoid

problems while drilling (mud lost, tool sliding,), and also to avoid the risk of missing the target if the seismic quality is not good enough.

For the case of channel bar which means two parallel faults for reservoir engineers, as geologist I target the mid channel bar because I'll meet more sands.
