Abstract
P193 Estimating Overpressure in Deep Sediments of the Eastern Black Sea Basin from Wide-Angle Seismic Tomography C.L. Scott* (National Oceanography Centre Southampton) D.J. Shillington (National Oceanography Centre Southampton) T.A. Minshull (National Oceanography Centre Southampton) R.A. Edwards (National Oceanography Centre Southampton) & N.J. White (University of Cambridge) SUMMARY Data acquired by ocean bottom seismometers (OBS) can give better constraints on the velocity structure of deep basins allowing estimates to be made of pore pressure in deep sediments. The Black Sea is a deep sedimentary basin with a thick infill of ~9 km and is a frontier basin for hydrocarbon exploration. Mud
