The term "traps" is used in the oil and gas industry to refer to areas where oil and gas have accumulated in sufficient quantities to justify exploration and production. Traps can take many forms, including structural traps (where oil and gas are trapped by geologic features such as faults or folds), stratigraphic traps (where oil and gas are trapped by changes in rock layers), and combination traps (which occur when both structural and stratigraphic factors contribute to the accumulation).
