Disequilibrium compaction also contributed to overpressure generation due to high sedimentation rates...

... are sediment types and the presence of excess pore pressure. Both are functions of geological setting and depositional regime and history. Two important causes of excess pore pressure in the uppermost sediment layers are high sedimentation rates combined with unfavourable layering, and the trapping...
