In the northern Gulf of Mexico, the understanding of minibasins—achieved through the integration of stratigraphic, structural, biostratigraphic, and geochemical data—is the critical scale of basin analysis for [[petroleum system]] identification and prospect evaluation. [[Petroleum system]] analysis is the identification of the origin of the entrapped oil and the reconstruction of the generation-migration-entrapment history. This information provides a template for further exploration for subtle traps along the [[migration]] avenue.
Minibasins are a critical scale for Gulf of Mexico [[petroleum systems]] evaluation. Basins of other tectonic styles differ, requiring a somewhat different approach to petroleum systems analysis. For example, stratigraphic entrapment along foreland basin limbs adjacent to foredeep hydrocarbon charge areas is an important aspect of foreland basins:<ref name=ch04r60>MacQueen, R., W., Leckie, D., A., eds., 1992, Foreland Basins and Fold Belts: AAPG Memoir 55, 460 p.</ref> .<ref name=ch04r104>Van Wagoner, J., C., Bertram, G., T., eds., 1995, [[Sequence stratigraphy]] of Foreland Basin Deposits: AAPG Memoir 64, 487 p.</ref>
