    Fluid Migration
    Many Tertiary, Mesozoic, and Paleozoic petroleum systems are dominated by vertical hydrocarbon migration
    from deep thermally mature source rocks. On seismic data the vertical migration paths are generally recognized as
    vertically aligned zones of chaotic often low amplitude reflectivity, described variously as gas chimneys, seepage
    pipes, blowout pipes, or gas clouds. The paths are often associated with other seismic seepage-related features
    such as mud volcanoes, fault related pock marks, and hydrocarbon related diagenetic zones (HRDZs).
