Abnormal hydrostatic pressure is a departure from normal fluid pressure that is caused by geologic factors. The term “geopressure” was introduced originally by Shell Oil Company to refer to overpressured intervals in the U.S. Gulf Coast. “Geopressure” is gradually being replaced by the more descriptive terms “overpressure” and “underpressure.”
