    This document discusses the complexity of petroleum systems and how they are commonly oversimplified. A petroleum system involves the integration over time and space of a source rock, migration pathways, reservoir rocks, seals, and traps that led to an accumulation of petroleum. Understanding a petroleum system's history requires taking a time-and-space approach rather than simplistic cartoons that fail to capture the complexity.
