Analysis of hydrocarbon column height is a calculation to determine the resistance of a point in the fault plane to withstand hydrocarbons in the thickness domain (meters / feet). According to Schofield<ref name=Schofield_2016>Schofield, James K., 2016, Relationships between Observed Hydrocarbon Column Heights, Occurrence of Background Overpressure and Seal Capacity within North West Europe: Thesis.</ref> hydrocarbon column height is affected in 3 main things, namely:

According to Schofield<ref name=Schofield_2016>Schofield, James K., 2016, Relationships between Observed Hydrocarbon Column Heights, Occurrence of Background Overpressure and Seal Capacity within North West Europe: Thesis.</ref> hydrocarbon column height is affected in three main things, namely:
* Limited by structure, directly affects the filling of hydrocarbons into the reservoir. The main effect is structurally limited to the elevation area ([[:file:GumelarFigure8.jpg|Figure 8]]).
* Limited by structure, directly affects the filling of hydrocarbons into the reservoir. The main effect is structurally limited to the elevation area ([[:file:GumelarFigure8.jpg|Figure 8]]).
* Limited by volumetric, this factor involves the lack of ingress of accumulated hydrocarbons into the trap. In this case it may be that the source rock is not producing sufficiently to fill the reservoir and the effect of migration pathways which have varying permeability becomes an obstacle for the accumulation of hydrocarbons.

* Geomechanics, related to the deformation of the cap rock that covers the hydrocarbons. In this case, it has the influence of matrix capillary control and control of the rupture of the hood rock<ref name=Schofield_2016 />. According to Schowalter<ref name=Schowalter_1979>Schowalter, T. T. 1979, Mechanics of secondary hydrocarbon migration and entrapment: AAPG Bulletin, v. 63, no. 5, p. 723-760.</ref>, it has been estimated that the minimum caprock membrane failure value of oil saturation is between 4.5 - 17% with an average of 10% based on buoyancy pressure and capillary pressure based on laboratory experiments.

To make a relationship between shale gouge ratio (SGR) and hydrocarbon column height (HCH), Bretan, et al.<ref name=Bretanetal_2003>Bretan, P., G. Yielding, and H. Jones, 2003, Using calibrated shale gouge ratio to estimate hydrocarbon column heights: AAPG Bulletin, v. 87, no. 3, p. 397-413.</ref> estimate the empirical formula taking into account the across-fault pressure difference (AFPD) and produces the following formula:

::<math>H = \frac{dP}{g( \rho_w + \rho_h )}</math>
H = dP/(g ( ρ_w + ρ_h ) ) (4.1)
With:
* H = hydrocarbon column height (m /ft, where 1 m = 3,2808 ft)
* g = gravity (9.81 ms-2)
* ρ<sub>w</sub> = pore density of water (kg /m3)
* ρ<sub>h</sub> = density of hydrocarbons (kg /m3)
