The Dongpu depression, like other depressions in the Bohai Bay Basin, is characterized by overpressure, however, the published studies have not clearly given the overpressure formation mechanism and paleo-pressure evolution history in the Dongpu depression. In addition, the current re- searches are mainly focused on the northern Dongpu depression, while rare investigation has been con- ducted in the southern part. In this context, it is urgent to explore the comprehensive overpressure evo- lution and formation mechanism in the Dongpu depression in academic and industrial fields. This pa- per provided a systematic analysis of fluid inclusions, including fluid inclusion petrography, microther- mometry, vapor phase filling degree measurement and PVT-x modeling. By using homogenization temperature-burial history projection, the trapping time of the oil inclusions are determined. Four pressure evolution stages are identified in both the northern and the southern Dongpu depression. The results indicate that the pressure accumulation stage is derived by disequilibrium compaction and hy- drocarbon generation in the northern part because of the salt rock distribution, while the stage is only derived by hydrocarbon generation in the southern part because of no salt rock distribution. The pres- sure release stages are mainly caused by the tectonic uplifting movements at the end of Dongying and Minghuazhen Formation. The overpressure in most areas in the northern part has been preserved till now, which is considered as a result of the good plasticity and sealing ability of salt rock that prevent the pressure leakage by smearing on the fault. Areas without salt rock distribution show normal pres- sure, which means the salt rock is an important factor that contributes to the overpressure preserva- tion. However, there are exceptions that in Baimiao and Qiaokou, the overpressure still exists even without salt rock distribution, which is due to fault closure.
