The sealing behavior of faults controls not only the entrapment of hydrocarbons but also the migration pathways into a trap. Fault seals control not only whether a trap retains hydrocarbons but also the volume of hydrocarbons available to migrate into a trap.
Migration pathway maps trace hydrocarbon movement between 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.
