Development of passive margin, due to thermal cooling of the stretch lithosphere, creates a large accommodation space subsequently filled with sediments brought from the emerging continent once the river system is established [1]. This combination of rapid subsidence and sedimentation generates an instable architecture with large shelf progradation on top of early post-rift sediments [5]. Given the typical fine grain lithology of these deposits, in most of the cases they become overpressure and an ideally zone for...
