A Hydro-Geomechanical View of Seal Formation and Failure in Overpressured Basins Approche hydro-géomécanique de la formation des barrières d'étanchéité et de la fracturation dans les bassins en surpression
The formation of seals, and the consequent retention of overpressure, is a common and expected event during normal basin evolution in active basins that have a significant mudrock succession. Seal failure, and the resultant limitation to fluid-pressure increase (valve action), is also an expected pr...
