Figure F110. Leak-off point (LOP) pressure data plotted together with hydrostatic and lithostatic pressure gradients, Holes C0002N and C0002P. Hydrostatic pressure is calculated based on seawater density of 1.023 g/cm3; lithostatic pressure from the seafloor is calculated based on log data (gray curve) and then linearly extrapolated to deeper depth (black line). PWD-N, PWD-P = annular pressure while drilling.
