Hydrodynamics and overpressure mechanisms in the Sacramento Basin, California
1999
American Journal of Science
Subsurface pore fluid pressures exceeding 70 percent of lithostatic pressure are observed in large areas of the Sacramento basin and adjacent Coast Ranges, California. Basin-or crustal-scale processes are required to explain the regional distribution of overpressures. Several plausible mechanisms of overpressuring are (1) depositional compaction by the Miocene and younger strata recently deposited, (2) aquathermal expansion under high heat flow conditions, and (3) horizontal or lateral tectonic
