Underpressure characteristics and origins in the deep strata of rift basins: A case study of the Huimin Depression, Bohai Bay Basin, China

Abnormal pressure is considered significant for the migration and accumulation of oil and gas. The purpose of this study is to present the lateral and vertical distribution of underpressure conditions in the Huimin Depression determined using the drill stem tests (DSTs) and the well log data. This paper also provides the origins of the underpressure both qualitatively and quantitatively, as well as the effects of the underpressure on the...
