This book recognizes groundwater flow as a fundamental geologic agent, and presents a
wide-ranging and illustrated overview of its history, principles, scientific consequences and …

Abnormal profiles of organic matter maturation in overpressured sequences, which express
the retardation of maturation, are a worldwide phenomenon; however, the cause of this …

The complex pressure and porosity fields observed in the Eugene Island (EI) 330 field
(offshore Louisiana) are thought to result from sediment loading of low‐permeability strata …

This study examines the patterns of groundwater flow and salinity in a region of confined
basement carbonate aquifer along with the region's unconfined adjacent part and …

The East Coast Basin of New Zealand lies in the frontal arc of the Hikurangi subduction
zone. Overpressure forms a major hazard for exploration in the basin. Fluid pressures of …

The pore fluid pressure is important for the generation, migration, and accumulation of
hydrocarbons. The Chezhen Sag region in the Bohai Bay Basin is typically characterized by …

Over the last decade, the picture that has emerged from several geologic disciplines is that
the Earth's crust is permeable to great depths and that fluids are more or less constantly …

ABSTRACT The Upper Ordovician Red River Formation has been a prolific producer of oil
and gas in the Williston Basin, where it has cumulatively produced more than 750 million bbl …

In this chapter we examine pressures in the St. Peter Sandstone and associated formations
of the deep Michigan basin. A comparison of computed brine heads to surface elevations …

Waples (1991) comments on the cause of overpressures are important. The existence of
overpressured fluid compartments can be identified with RFT and DST pressure …
