Hi Charlie, Normally, the deeper you go, the higher the reservoir pressure and temperature. But, there are many exceptions to the "normal case". So, yes, I expect that deeper sands will be at higher pressures, but there sure are no guarantees !! Pressure is only one of several factors that affect the reserve "concentration". So, all other things being equal, yes. But again there's no guarantee !! (For example, if the pressure were greater by 10% but porosity was only 1/2 that of the upper zones and the net pay was only 1/3 as thick, then reserves of a deeper sand might only be 18% of the reserves in a higher sand.)
