→Seal continuity and fracturing
==Seal continuity and fracturing==
==Seal continuity and fracturing==
Seal thickness is not an independent variable. Thin seals have a higher probability of being laterally discontinuous, of being fractured completely, or of having local variations in fracture intensity or [[Pore and pore throat sizes|pore throat diameter]] that provide a leakage pathway. Similarly, thick seals have a higher probability of being laterally continuous, having fractures terminate within the seal, and having at least one shale lamina with a high [[displacement pressure]].
