Patterns in Spatial Distribution of Abnormally
High Pore and Formation Pressures
We will now review the patterns in spatial distribution of abnormal pres-
sure in hydrodynamic systems of mobile belt basins. We will try to estab-
lish to what extent the abnormal pressure complies with the described
mechanisms of AHPP and AHFP formation.

Total amount of used and systematized factual material was about 3,500
initial formation pressure measurements in productive intervals of accu-
mulations and in water-bearing intervals.
Most attention in this Chapter is devoted to the South Caspian and
Indolo-Kuban basins taken for the base models of intermontane depres-
sions and foredeep troughs of mobile belts.
