Abstract: Traditional theory considered that the overburden pressure(pob)is the sum of hydrostatic pressure(pf) and framework stress(pG), this may resulted in many mistakes.Taking petrophysical properties and mechnic equilibrium into account, a new expression was established, namely pob =Φpf + (1 -Φ) pG.It is more scientific and expected to play important role in reservoir engineering and lab study.

Key words: Overburden pressure, Hydrostatic pressure, Rock Grain, Matrix, Stress
