The Gulf of Mexico is a mud-dominated basin, which leads to the formation of various traps in this complex environment with diverse depositional and structural architectures. The most significant types of traps in Gulf of Mexico include: Anticline, Fault trap, Salt Dome and Stratigraphic trap. [6] The attached Figure 4 shows the difference among the four types of traps.
