A cloud trap is a geological formation that captures and holds natural gas or oil within a cloud of gas, often associated with a specific type of geological structure or fault. It typically involves a combination of permeability and porosity in the rock layers that allows hydrocarbons to accumulate. Cloud traps are important in petroleum geology as they can serve as potential reservoirs for extracting fossil fuels. The term is less commonly used than traditional trap types like structural or stratigraphic traps.
