Normally pressured reservoirs have pore pressures which are the same as a continuous
column of static water from the surface. Abnormal pressures occur where the pore pressures …

Continental-Scale Groundwater Flow and Geologic Processes ADS Classic is now deprecated.
It will be completely retired in October 2019. This page will automatically redirect to the new …

Overpressure can be produced by the following processes:(1) increase of compressive
stress,(2) changes in the volume of the pore fluid or rock matrix, and (3) fluid movement or …

This contribution presents results from a laboratory study investigating the fluid (gas/water)
transport properties in the matrix system of the Scandinavian Alum Shale. The maturity of the …

Almost two hundred years of research is reviewed that focuses on the physical
characteristics of sandstone intrusions. It is concerned with mechanisms of sand injection …

The permeability of illite‐rich shale from the Wilcox formation has been measured as a
function of effective pressure for bedding‐parallel flow of 1 M NaCl pore fluid. Permeability k …

Permeability of illite‐rich shale recovered from the Wilcox formation and saturated with 1 M
NaCl solution varies from 3× 10− 22 to 3× 10− 19 m2, depending on flow direction relative to …

Gas generation is a commonly hypothesized mechanism for the development of high-
magnitude overpressure. However, overpressures developed by gas generation have been …

An overview is given of the mechanisms and processes (viscous flow, diffusion, sorption,
desorption) affecting transport in unconventional reservoir rocks. Processes are described …

Overpressure generated by disequilibrium compaction can be enhanced at structural crests
by the lateral transfer of fluids from deep, overpressured parts of a basin along laterally …
