Fault seal analysis is used to determine the level of connectivity of a separate reservoir due to fault segments. This is controlled by the permeability and porosity parameters of rocks that are in the fault section. Fault segment that becomes insulating if it has high porosity and permeability values will channel hydrocarbon fluid to the surface. So that the fault is one of the traps that are good for hydrocarbons. There is a mechanism where a fault can be a seal of fluid <ref name=Watts_1987>Watts, N. 1987.
