Summary

In this chapter we discuss various methods to quantify pore pressure, fracture pressure, andoverburden stress using a host of geophysical methods, such as velocity, density, and resistivity, from well logs and seismic data. Most of these methods are based on approaches that work for shales, where it is easier to define a trend based on normal compaction. We compare and contrast some of the well-established models in the literature.
