* It is possible to trap more [ http://www.glossary.oilfield.slb.com/en/Terms/n/natural_gas.aspx gas] than oil despite the higher [[Buoyancy pressure|buoyant pressure]] of gas,

* At depths below 9,000–10,000 ft a seal is always capable of trapping more gas than oil, and
* At depths below 9,000–10,000 ft a seal is always capable of trapping more gas than oil, and
* The dominance of gas in the deeper parts of basins may reflect seal capacity as well as [[maturation]].
