Understanding fault seal behavior in existing fields is a prerequisite for predicting seal behavior in untested prospects. Empirical studies have established patterns of seal behavior, identified seal/leak thresholds for quantitative analysis of a fault seal, provided real analogs for prospect assessment, and demonstrated how important fault seal behavior is in controlling hydrocarbon accumulations.<ref name=ch10r13>Chong, K., P., Hoyt, P., M., Smith, J., W., Paulsen, B., Y., 1980, Effects of strain rate on oil shale fracturing: International Journal of Rock Mechanics, vol. 17, no. 1, p. 35–43., 10., 1016/0148-9062(80)90004-2</ref><ref name=ch10r71>Skerlec, G., M., 1990, SEALS: A short course for risking top seal and fault seal: Franklin, Pennsylvania, SEALS International, 600 p.</ref><ref name=ch10r73>Skerlec, G., M., 1997a, Atlas of fault seal behavior in the North Sea/Norwegian Sea: Franklin, Pennsylvania, SEALS International, 3948 p.</ref><ref name=ch10r74>Skerlec, G., M., 1997b, Atlas of fault seal behavior in the Gulf Coast: Franklin, Pennsylvania, SEALS International, 4356 p.</ref><ref name=ch10r97>Yielding, G., Freeman, B., Needham, D., T., 1997, Quantitative fault seal prediction: AAPG Bulletin, vol. 81, no. 6, p. 897–917.</ref>
