Shale Density:
Shale density determination has often proved to be very effective in determining the degree of under

compaction and

consequent abnormal pore pressure in shale bodies. Shale density determination can be of great value since it provides information on the compaction of the shale. Under normal conditions, shale density should increase with depth. Any sudden decrease in shale density (as porosity increases) may indicate abnormal pressure does exist.
