Overpressures: Causal Mechanisms, Conventional and Hydromechanical Approaches

Abstract: Résumé -Surpressions : origine, approches conventionnelle et hydromécanique -On rencontre souvent des régimes anormaux de pression dans les bassins sédimentaires. Les relations entre la contrainte verticale effective et la porosité ont été appliquées, depuis 1970, dans la région de la Gulf Coast, afin d'évaluer ces surpressions. Des résultats ont été obtenus en faisant appel à la sismique et à la modélisation de bassin dans les bassins tertiaires de sable argileux à contrainte verticale dominante et en déséqui… Show more

“…Pipes and pockmarks are sometimes considered good indicators for petroleum potential, but may also indicate that the traps were breached and that hydrocarbons leaked from the reservoirs . The prediction of fluid pressure required for their formation then becomes an important issue in the evaluation of cover integrity (Grauls, 1999).…”

“…The dip of individual dykes does not depend on the lithology or burial of the host rock because inclined and vertical dykes are observed at the same stratigraphical level. For constant rock properties, a larger differential stress (s v es h ) favors shearing whereas a smaller differential stress favors tensile failure (Grauls, 1999). Therefore, the mode of dyke injection depends only on the value of the horizontal compressive stress, assuming a constant vertical principle stress.…”

“…The difference between pore pressure and minimum horizontal stress (assuming T ¼ 0) is a major consideration in petroleum exploration because it limits the height of hydrocarbon column that can develop (Finkbeiner et al, 2001;Flemings et al, 2002;Lupa et al, 2002;Seldon and Flemings, 2005;Stump and Flemings, 2000) and it defines the retention capacity of traps (Gaarenstroom et al, 1993). Conventional understanding of brittle failure induced by increasing pore pressure assumes that total minimum stress S 3 is unaffected by changes in pore pressure (Cosgrove, 2001;Grauls, 1999). This assumption may be reasonable in some circumstances, such as triaxial laboratory tests, but its validity is questionable in natural examples where pore fluid is overpressured (Hillis, 2001Mourgues and Cobbold, 2003).…”

“…Factor K may be a function of depth and may vary according to the tectonical environment. Grauls (1997Grauls ( ,1999 defined different expressions for various tectonic regimes: type I (offshore passive margins, deltas, normal faulted contexts), type II (offshore strike slip faulted contexts), type III (thrust faulted, fully compressive contexts). For example, from values given by Grauls (1997), Schneider et al (1999) derived expression of K for passive margins.…”
