[[:file:evaluating-top-and-fault-seal_fig10-14.png|Figure 1]] summarizes the various controls on percent fill and hydrocarbon column height. The maximum fill case is the synclinal spill point (SSP). A cross-leaking fault limits the percent fill to the juxtaposed lithology leak point (JLLP). A dip-leaking fault limits the percent fill to the fault plane leak point (FPLP).

[[:file:evaluating-top-and-fault-seal_fig10-14.png|Figure 1]] summarizes the various controls on percent fill and [[hydrocarbon column]] height. The maximum fill case is the synclinal spill point (SSP). A [[cross-leaking fault]] limits the percent fill to the juxtaposed lithology leak point (JLLP). A [[dip]]-leaking fault limits the percent fill to the fault plane leak point (FPLP).

A cross-sealing fault allows fill below the JLLP and possibly as deep as the SSP. A trap also may be partially filled (PF) due to either charge or top seal capacity. A partially filled trap can have a [[Fluid contacts|hydrocarbon contact]] at any depth.
