Allan<ref name=Allan_1989>Allan, U. S. 1989, Model for hydrocarbon migration and entrapment within faulted structures: AAPG Bulletin, v. 73, p. 803–811.</ref> developed a graphic technique to map the relative position of the lithology cut-offs on both the footwall and the hanging-wall. This methodology is often called Allan Mapping. Using this approach, cross-fault spill points and hydrocarbon flow path potential can be determined from the lithological alignment (juxtaposition), based on the assumption that the fault itself does not have sealing properties and that it is not an open channel for flow. Allan's mapping relies on the construction of the fault surface section ([[:file:GumelarFigure4.jpg|Figure 4]]) which is defined as the appearance of the stratigraphic geometry that touches across the fault by removing the hanging-wall<ref name=Allan_1989 />. The representation of a part of the fault surface is often a vertical or planar surface. The lithology of the footwall and hanging-wall fault blocks is projected onto the surface portion of the fault and is used to determine where the reservoir lithology of one fault block is juxtaposed with the non-reservoir lithology of the opposite fault block. | Allan<ref name=Allan_1989>Allan, U.
