Thrusting moves reservoir over younger source rock in foot wall; potential source in hanging wall never matures. Simple source-migrn-res-seal system deposited but leaks updip to seap; fault and/or salt dome (that forms downdip from growth fault) provide traps. Deposition of source over half of sloping deposurface; folding, erosion, and deposition make unconformity trap, but only one side has source beneath. In sequential normal fault block system where source rock covered only half of basin, some blocks have no source rock, and some blocks have no fault seal. Non-vertical strike-slip fault moves anticlinal traps past lacustrine source rocks - earliest gets no charge, later oil, and even later gas. Meandering channel sand is in stratum that is tilted and then faulted; fault provides migration path to meanders updip from fault but not down.
