Narrative:

We were taxiing out for departure from runway 30L in sat. We were given instructions to taxi on taxiway right and hold short of runway 3/21. While holding short; we were given the instructions by ground control to 'expedite across runway 30R and hold short of runway 30L.' we started to move down runway 3/21 and as the PF; I was looking to expedite across the first set of hold short lines and then hold short of the second. The only problem is; there is no hold short line for runway 30R; as it does not cross runway 3/21. We were busy looking at an arriving aircraft; to verify that we had enough time to cross the runway (thinking he was inbound to runway 30R). Just after crossing the first set of hold short lines; we realized that we had taxied onto runway 30L; just as ground was telling us as well. We quickly cleared the runway and made a 180 degree turn to hold short of runway 30R on the other side. We apologized to ground and were told 'no problem.' there was a B737 on about a 4-5 mi final. Other than the clearance deviation; at no time was safety of either aircraft compromised.

Title: G450 CORPORATE FLT CREW EXPERIENCES RWY INCURSION AT SAT.

Narrative: WE WERE TAXIING OUT FOR DEP FROM RWY 30L IN SAT. WE WERE GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS TO TAXI ON TXWY R AND HOLD SHORT OF RWY 3/21. WHILE HOLDING SHORT; WE WERE GIVEN THE INSTRUCTIONS BY GND CTL TO 'EXPEDITE ACROSS RWY 30R AND HOLD SHORT OF RWY 30L.' WE STARTED TO MOVE DOWN RWY 3/21 AND AS THE PF; I WAS LOOKING TO EXPEDITE ACROSS THE FIRST SET OF HOLD SHORT LINES AND THEN HOLD SHORT OF THE SECOND. THE ONLY PROB IS; THERE IS NO HOLD SHORT LINE FOR RWY 30R; AS IT DOES NOT CROSS RWY 3/21. WE WERE BUSY LOOKING AT AN ARRIVING ACFT; TO VERIFY THAT WE HAD ENOUGH TIME TO CROSS THE RWY (THINKING HE WAS INBOUND TO RWY 30R). JUST AFTER XING THE FIRST SET OF HOLD SHORT LINES; WE REALIZED THAT WE HAD TAXIED ONTO RWY 30L; JUST AS GND WAS TELLING US AS WELL. WE QUICKLY CLRED THE RWY AND MADE A 180 DEG TURN TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 30R ON THE OTHER SIDE. WE APOLOGIZED TO GND AND WERE TOLD 'NO PROB.' THERE WAS A B737 ON ABOUT A 4-5 MI FINAL. OTHER THAN THE CLRNC DEV; AT NO TIME WAS SAFETY OF EITHER ACFT COMPROMISED.
