==Classifying combinations==

One of the more difficult tasks in categorizing an oil or gas accumulation into a specific trap type is determining the dominant element that creates the trap boundaries since often more than one element is involved, giving rise to the ''combination trap''. We recognize this problem but hope that, by determining the primary, secondary, and, in some cases, tertiary trapping elements, explorationists can give combination traps useful labels. The label would combine classification labels such as structural/fluidic trap, stratigraphic/ structural trap, anticline/fault trap, and tilted fault-block/unconformity truncation trap, with the primary element listed first.

We recognize this problem but hope that, by determining the primary, secondary, and, in some cases, tertiary trapping elements, explorationists can give combination traps useful labels. The label would combine classification labels such as [[Structural trap system|structural]]/[[Fluidic trap system|fluidic]] trap, [[Stratigraphic trap|stratigraphic]]/ structural trap, [[Fold trap regime|anticline]]/[[Fault trap regime|fault]] trap, and tilted fault-block/[[Erosional trap regime|unconformity truncation]] trap, with the primary element listed first.
