Abstract: The overpressured Kela 2 gas field is characterized by:overpressured reservoir intervals overlain by very thick salt and gypsum-argillaceous beds of the Paleogene which are of good sealing capability; wide extent of gasbearing area and very large reserve; key roles played by faults in pool-forming and gas accumulation. Tectonic uplift and lateral compression are major factors responsible for the abnormal pressure. Late Himalayan movement caused formation uplift and denudation, whereas the pore pressure was maintained by vertical and lateral sealing boundaries, resulting in development of overpressure.Later, this overpressure was further enhanced by the lateral
compression stress.

Key words: Kela 2 gas field, overpressure, cap bed, fault, tectonic uplift, lateral compression
