- •
We have developed physical models to investigate the origin of fluid overpressure.
- •
We used a mixture of beeswax microspheres and silica powder as source material.
- •
The melting of wax led to fluid overpressure and hydraulic fracturing.
- •
During horizontal shortening, detachments appeared at the base of the source layer.
