Revision as of 14:59, 18 April 2014 by FWhitehurst (talk | contribs)
Pressure compartments are found in basins worldwide. A pressure compartment is a volume of rock, all sides of which are sealed such that the fluid within the compartment is isolated from the surrounding normal pressure regime. Pressure compartments affect the movement of fluids that control the migration and accumulation of petroleum and the diagenesis of reservoirs and seals.
