This document provides solutions to homework questions for a reservoir geomechanics course. It outlines a 3-part assignment on estimating the onset and magnitude of overpressure using porosity and pore pressure data from the Gulf of Mexico. The solutions include plotting porosity vs. depth, comparing theoretical and calculated compaction trends, and determining that the onset of overpressure was between 4000-6000 ft while the overpressure at 10,000 ft was between 6.6731-16.6731 MPa.
