The sealing behavior of faults controls not only the entrapment of hydrocarbons but also the [[migration pathway]]s into a [[Trap systems: structural, stratigraphic, and fluidic|trap]]. [[Fault seal behavior|Fault seals]] control not only whether a trap retains hydrocarbons but also the volume of hydrocarbons available to migrate into a trap.

[[How to construct migration pathway maps|Migration pathway maps]] trace hydrocarbon movement between [[Source rock|source]] and trap within a complexly faulted field and between fields. Migration maps that consist solely of dip arrows drawn on maps of the top reservoir can be very misleading. A migration pathway map must use the detailed information available from routine fault seal analysis.
