Origin and prediction of abnormal formation pressures [electronic resource] / G.V. Chilingar, V.A. Serebryakov, J.O. Robertson, Jr.

Knowledge of the presence of abnormally-high pressure zones (AHFP) prior to drilling into them can prevent considerable economic losses and, possibly, save human lives.
