“…Fluid-flow or migration is associated with excess pore-fluid pressure which can be attributed to temporal and spatially varying processes, such as rapid sediment loading (Dugan and Flemings, 2000), uplift and erosion (Doré and Jensen, 1996), dissociation of gas hydrate (Mienert et al, 2005), polygonal faulting (Andresen and Huuse, 2011;Cartwright et al, 2007;Gay et al, 2011;Ostanin et al, 2012a), and leakage from deep and shallow source and reservoir rocks (Heggland, 1998;Hovland and Judd, 1988;Solheim and Elverhøi, 1985). Focused fluid-flow systems usually serve as conduits for fluids and sediment remobilization.…”
