Some Causes of Abnormal Pressure
1. Incomplete compaction of sediments Fluids in sediments have not
escaped and are still helping to support the overburden.
2. Tectonic movements
Uplift
Faulting

Abnormal Pressure 10.1- 9
HIGH PRESSURE
NORMAL PRESSURE
Thick, impermeable layers of shale (or salt) restrict the movement of water. Below such layers abnormal pressure may be found.

Hydrostatic pressure gradient is lower in gas or oil than in water.

Abnormal Pressure 10.1- 41
E.S. Pennebaker
Used seismic field data for the detection of abnormal pressures.
Under normally pressured conditions the sonic velocity increases with depth. (i.e. Travel time decreases with depth)
(why?)
![Page 42: Presiones Anormales - Abnormal Pressure](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081520/58ebf0721a28abf24c8b4587/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Abnormal Pressure 10.1- 42
E.S. Pennebaker
Any departure from this trend is an indication of possible abnormal pressures.
Pennebaker used overlays to estimate abnormal pore pressures from the difference between normal and actual travel times.

Abnormal Pressure 10.1- 44
Ben Eaton
also found a way to determine pore pressure from interval travel times.
Example:In a Gulf Coast well, the speed of sound is 10,000 ft/sec at a depth of 13,500 ft. The normal speed of sound at this depth, based on extrapolated trends, would be 12,000 ft/sec. What is the pore pressure at this depth?
Assume: S/D = 1.0 psi/ft
