An alternative is that the petroleum has migrated after 1.2 Ma from older traps into the East Breaks 160-161 ''Glob alt'' through ''Trim A'' anticlinal traps. Periodic vertical migration of oil probably took place along growth faults between overpressured source beds and more normally pressured reservoirs. Oil accumulated in faulted rollover anticlinal traps with slightly overpressured mudstone seals. Biodegradation of oils reflects shallow accumulation prior to burial of the reservoirs below [[temperature::140°F]] ([[temperature::60°C]]). | An alternative is that the petroleum has migrated after 1.2 Ma from older traps into the East Breaks 160-161 ''Glob alt'' through ''Trim A'' anticlinal traps.
