'''Regime:''' Fault trap<br />
  −
Fault(s) forms part or all of the closure of the trap by sealing the reservoir either laterally and/or from the top (after Biddle and Wielchowsky, 1995).
  −
:'''Class:''' Normal fault trap
  −
:One or more form all or part of lateral closure by sealing the reservoir.
  −
::'''Subclass:''' Tilted fault block
  −
::Block of rock bounded on one or more sides by normal faults. Rotation traps hydrocarbons along edges or in corners.
  −
::'''Subclass:''' Horst
  −
::Block of rock bounded on all sides by normal faults.
  −
::'''Subclass:''' Listric fault trap
  −
::All or part of closure formed by a fault whose plane curves downward and is concave upward.
  −
:'''Class:''' Reverse fault trap
  −
:One or more faults form all or part of the closure by sealing the reservoir.
  −
:'''Class:''' Thrust fault trap
  −
:Forms all or part of the closure by sealing the reservoir either laterally or from the top or bottom.
  −
::'''Subclass:''' Overthrust
  −
::Forms all or part of the closure by sealing the reservoir laterally.
  −
::'''Subclass:''' Subthrust
  −
::Forms all or part of the closure by sealing the reservoir laterally or from the top.
  −
:'''Class:''' Wrench fault trap
  −
:Forms all or part of the closure by sealing the reservoir laterally or from the top.
  −
::'''Subclass:''' Flower structure
  −
::Opposing reverse faults diverge upward, forming a fan or flower cross section pattern. Develop along wrench fault zones.
