An interesting feature of these fields is that they may occur in "non-thermal areas", about 27 to 30°C/km only ... These fields are filled with pressurized hot water of "connate" origin at pressures ranging from about 40% to about 90% "in excess" of the hydrostatic pressure corresponding to the depth ... The pore pressures in these trapped pockets have values intermediate between the hydrostatic and lithostatic pressures. 3, record 1, English, - geo%2Dpressurized%20field

Une de leurs [des champs géopressurisés] caractéristiques intéressantes est qu'ils se trouvent dans des zones non thermiques, où les gradients de température varient de 27 à 3 0°C/km seulement. [...] Ces champs sont remplis d'eau chaude en surpression d'origine connée à des pressions variant approximativement de 40 à 90 % au-dessus de la pression hydrostatique correspondant à la profondeur. [...] Les pressions interstitielles dans ces réservoirs ont des valeurs intermédiaires entre pressions hydrostatique et lithostatique [...] 2, record 1, French, - champ%20g%C3%A9opressuris%C3%A9
