==Recognizing leaky traps==
Traps with leaky seals or reduced seal capacity may still maintain an economic column of petroleum. Partially leaked traps are characterized by a zone of residual petroleum saturation thicker than the transition zone predicted by [[capillary pressure]] tests. Shows in traps that have leaked are similar to those in spilled traps. Paleofluid contacts are usually flat, not tilted like spilled traps.
