Certain types of hydrocarbon traps are more commonly associated with a particular depositional systems tract. Identifying the highstand, lowstand, or transgressive systems tract and the specific depositional environments within each lets us predict possible reservoir, seal, and charge system for each potential trap.

Certain types of hydrocarbon [[trap]]s are more commonly associated with a particular [[depositional system]]s tract. Identifying the [[Sea_level_cycle_phase_and_systems_tracts#Highstand_systems_tracts|highstand]], [[Sea_level_cycle_phase_and_systems_tracts#Lowstand_systems_tracts|lowstand]], or [[Sea_level_cycle_phase_and_systems_tracts#Transgressive_systems_tracts|transgressive]] systems tract and the specific depositional environments within each lets us predict possible [[reservoir]], [[seal]], and [[Calculating charge volume|charge system]] for each potential trap.
