==Least to most risk==
==Least to most risk==
Using the figure below and stipulating that the complementary play is on the migration path for this petroleum system, a play located within or outside the geographic extent of the system has the following level of risk:

Using [[:file:petroleum-systems_fig3-19.png|Figure 3]] and stipulating that the complementary play is on the migration path for this petroleum system, a play located within or outside the geographic extent of the system has the following level of risk:
* Least risk; accumulations surround the trap.
* Least risk; accumulations surround the trap.
* Riskier; accumulations located on only one side.
* Riskier; accumulations located on only one side.
* Most risk; accumulations distant from prospect.
* Most risk; accumulations distant from prospect.
Studies of the reservoir rock and seal rock as well as trap formation are needed to evaluate migration paths and traps.
