Definitions for "Abnormal pressure"
n: pressure outside the normal or expected range.
pressure exceeding or falling below the normal pressure to be expected at a given depth. Normal pressure increases approximately 0.465 psi per foot of depth (10.5kPa per meter of depth). Thus, normal pressure at 10,000 feet is 4,650 psi; abnormal pressure at this depth would be higher or lower than 4,650 psi. See pressure gradient.
Any pore pressure which differs from normal pore pressure.
