One of the mechanisms of the process of hydrocarbon insufficiency is juxtaposition. This barrier is caused by the presence of rocks that have different physical properties of rocks, namely permeability and porosity. Rocks that have greater permeability and porosity will not flow hydrocarbons in the direction of smaller permeability and porosity. If the sandstone is in contact with the claystone then a juxtaposition seal is possible because the physical parameters of the claystone do not allow fluid to pass through the rock.

(A) Fault displacement can provide a cross-fault seal by juxtaposing impermeable units against potential reservoir units. (B) In three dimensions, the interactions of juxtaposed units on the fault surface can be complex. (C) Allan's Mapping technique resolves the fault surface into a flat plane and maps the position of the footwall and hanging-wall. The trap and spill point can then be determined from the alignment of the lithology units.]]
