Abnormal hydrostatic pressure is a departure from normal fluid pressure that is caused by geologic factors. The term “[http://www.glossary.oilfield.slb.com/en/Terms/g/geopressure.aspx 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 “[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geologic_overpressure overpressure]” and “[http://www.glossary.oilfield.slb.com/en/Terms/u/underpressure.aspx underpressure].”
