In this period, a start was made on the study of fault zones. On the Gulf Coast, it had already been noticed that faults can separate oil or gas accumulations from water-bearing sands. Hubbert, in deriving the theoretical concepts of petroleum trapping, had shown that the boundary of a reservoir rock is a barrier to hydrocarbon migration because of its capillary properties (Hubbert, 1953). Observations of fault zone material showed the effect of cataclasis but also the presence of smeared-in shale.
