Pore Pressure Prediction

A complete workflow for interactive geopressure analysis.

• 1D at well locations
• Overburden, pore & fracture pressures
• 3D from seismic velocities
• Uncertainty simulation
• Eaton & Miller methods
• Velocity picking
• Matthews-Kelly fracture gradient
• Volume integration
• Model centroid & fluid buoyancy
• Volume smoothing

More than 25% of drilling non-productive time (NPT) is due to overpressure.  In addition to decreasing the NPT, correct prediction of the pressure regime enables faster drilling, less formation invasion, and therefore improved reservoir integrity.

Features include:

• Interactively model and predict overburden, pore, and fracture pressures
• 1D prediction and calibration at well locations
• 3D prediction from seismic velocities
• Model centroid and fluid buoyancy effects including hydrocarbon column height
• Uncertainty simulation
• Eaton’s and Miller’s methods for pore pressure prediction
• Matthews-Kelly method for fracture gradient prediction
• Integrate calibration data (MDT, LOT, MW, etc)

The Pore Pressure Prediction module is a seamless addition to DUG Insight, with an intuitive, interactive interface for rapid analysis. Contact usfor a demo or free evaluation.
