description: Pressurehighly variable in the subsurface. Complex, controversial, but critical to be able to understand and to predict. Abnormal pressure can cause drilling difficulties, but it can also provide highly useful data for hydrocarbon exploration, reserves estimation, and reservoir development.This book grew out of an AAPG Hedberg Research Conference on Abnormal Pressures in Hydrocarbon Environments, which gathered researchers from around the globe. Topics covered include global distribution of abnormal pressures in petroleum provinces, causal mechanisms of abnormal pressures, transient nature of pressure systems, pressure modeling, drilling and completion techniques in abnormal pressure environments, and association of abnormal pressures with hydrocarbon accumulations.
