a formula is established for quantitatively calculating formation fluid pressure after tectonic uplifting and erosion in a closed system.The calculation results with the formula show that formation pressure after tectonic uplifting and erosion in a closed system depends on such factors as initial formation pressure before tectonic uplifting
compressibility coefficient and expansion coefficient of formation fluid
compressibility coefficient of pore volume
temperature variation before and after uplifting
and erosion thickness.An analysis of compressibility coefficient and expansion coefficient of formation fluid as well as compressibility coefficient of pore volume reveals that an abnormal low pressure is likely to be formed in water-bearing sandstone formations
while an abnormal high pressure is more possible in gas-bearing formations after the uplifting.
