A numerical compaction model of overpressuring in shales

A one-dimensional, numerical model of sediment compaction has been developed using porosity, velocity of sediment particles, and depth of the evolving basin as master variables. The governing set of nonlinear, partial differential equations are solved by a finite difference scheme devised to be stab...
