==Long-distance migration factors==
The factors that influence the distance hydrocarbons may travel are complexly interrelated. Such a detailed knowledge of the [[petroleum system]] and the stratigraphy of the area is required that prediction of migration distance is next to impossible. It requires source–reservoir correlation, knowledge of the extent of the [[source rock]], and knowledge that there are no other potential sources. The dominant factors favoring long-distance transport of hydrocarbons include the following:
