Pressure within the fluids contained in the rocks that they contain increases with depth due to the increased structural burden. The lower the permeability in theory the better perfect seal but cross flow can still occur across a tectonics shift or fracture. If the pore pressure exceeds the formations natural fracturing pressure then fractures can develop allowing the fluids to escape. This is why the term ' substantially overbalanced ' stood out to me in South Erregulla Update: Release Date: 13/02/24 09:15. For me the how and why the overbalance came to be “substantial ' has not as yet been satisfactorily explained. So yeah, fully agree 618. Communication to the market IMO could probably be better given the current environment.
