Top and fault seal evaluation (view source)
Revision as of 20:31, 22 August 2014
, 20:31, 22 August 2014→Importance of seal
Hydrocarbons migrate until they encounter the first intact seal. Because of variations in [[Evaluating top seal integrity|seal integrity]] and [[Seal capacity|capacity]], drainage areas are four-dimensional. Prospect analysis using drainage areas defined by simple structure-depth maps on the top reservoir can be very misleading. Plays appear and disappear in response to seal behavior.

Seals also control the movement of hydrocarbons during production. Efficient field development, well placement, [[Reserves estimation|ultimate recovery]], and economic success or failure depend on risking seal.
