Within the pore space of sedimentary formations contain most of the fluids
with proportions of salt and known as brines. The dissolved salt matter can
vary from 0 (over) 200,000 ppm. Likewise, pore pressure gradient vary
from 0.433 psi/ft (fresh water) to around 0.50 psi/ft. Pore pressure in most
geographical areas, the gradient is roughly 0.465 psi/ft with assumption of
80,000 ppm salt concentration. This figure is defined as the normal pressure
gradient.
