==Growth faults==

Growth faults are faults that were active at the same time as the sediments were being deposited ([[:file:M91Ch13FG94.JPG|Figure 16]]). Many show a listric geometry with the fault soling out into shale horizons. They are common in areas with thick delta sequences. Growth faults can be recognized because sediments thicken into the hanging wall of a growth fault and the throw of the fault increases with depth. All the individual reservoir units may thicken up across a mapped growth fault. Alternatively, growth can be taken up by additional layers filling the accommodation space in the hanging wall.<ref name=Hodgettsetal_2001>Hodgetts, D., J. Imber, C. Childs, S. Flint, J. Howell, J.
