A review of Russian-language books on abnormal and subnormal formation pressures

Russian publications on non-hydrostatic pressures — their origin and methods of their detection and prediction — are very numerous. This great bulk of information still expects proper analysis. To give English-speaking petroleum geologists and engineers some idea of this information, which is regularly published in J.P.S.E., the writers briefly review some recent (1983–1993) books on the subject in this paper.
