Characteristics of Cratonic Basins Basement Structures Associated with Cratonic Movement Plays: Traps Related to Basement Arches, Paleotopographic Features, and Stratigraphic Traps Associated with Non-marine and Shallow Marine Siliciclastics and Platform Carbonates

Characteristics of Divergent Margins Interfingering of Source and Reservoir Beds Tilting and Loading of Offshore Strata Development of Progradational Sedimentary Wedge Tectonic and Sedimentologic Sequence: Intracratonic, Taphrogenic, Evaporitic, Shallow Marine Platform, and Open Marine Shelf-Slope-Basin Plays: Deep Depths (Block Faulted Basement Extensional Features Associated with Non-marine Facies, Stratigraphic Pinchouts, and Unconformities; Intermediate Depths (Salt Features Associated with Shallow Marine Facies; and Shallow Depths (Stratigraphic Traps Associated with Deltas, Reefs, and Deeper Water Sand Facies and Growth Faults

Divergent Margin From HGS Website, Thornton et al.

Characteristics of Convergent Margins Predictability Along Strike Better Reservoir Rock Resulting from Pluton Erosion Basin Types: Back-Arc, Arc-Trench Gap, and Slope Plays: Deep Depths (Vertical Tectonics, Fractured Basement Rocks, Thrusting) and Shallow Depths (Stratigraphic Traps and Unconformities Associated with Carbonate and Siliciclastic Facies)

Characteristics of Transform and Strike-Slip Margins Extensional Bends Result in Basins Plays Are Associated with En Echelon Faults and Folds, Stratigraphic Pinchouts, and Unconformities

Characteristics of Suture Zones Development of Peripheral Basin and Foreland Basin Hydrocarbons In Elevated Thermal Conditions and Driven Updip into Strata Plays: Broad Structures of Peripheral Basin and Folds and Thrust Faults of Foreland Basin
