Summary
A
Stratigraphic Trap
forms when variations in
Rock Layers
create a
Natural barrier
that impedes the
Movement of hydrocarbons
, allowing them to accumulate in
Economically viable quantities
. Unlike
Structural Traps
, which are formed by deformations such as folds and faults,
Stratigraphic Trap
s are primarily the result of
Depositional changes
within
Sedimentary Layers
.
