Pore pressure prediction sees improvements

摘要

A calibrated pressure model offers pressure attributes for a holistic solution. Pore pressure prediction is regularly conducted by oil companies in practically all pre-drill technical evaluations. The most widely used and proven theory is to transform seismic information into pore pressure data. In recent years, the industry has successfully employed pore pressure prediction to design cost-effective wells and avoid drilling hazards. Pore pressure prediction technology continues to improve, taking advantage of newly acquired knowledge from recent deepwater drilling, new seismic acquisition, new algorithms, and powerful computation power.
