Working the pore pressure puzzle: Different languages, same goal

摘要

However, if you ask how pore pressure data should be collected and interpreted when designing a well, your chances of finding an argument will go up considerably. Geologists, gcophysicists, petrophysi-cists, geomeehanicists, drilling engineers - they all have a stake in the pore pressure model. Yet sharing their piece of the puzzle -whether it's seismic velocity data, regional or local geologic data, offset well data, or any other data - is often not an easy task. Pore pressure is an inter-disciplinary subject and requires many diffcrent experts of different backgrounds - people who, you might say. think in different languages - to work together. How can com-panics cross departmental or disciplinary boundaries? DRILLING CONTRACTOR spoke with three operators to find out how they're achieving efficient information-sharing in order to complete the best-possible pore pressure model.
