                 Pressure Study of Mid-Norway

 

A comprehensive and authorative picture of formation pressure distribution and its causes and build-up within Mid-Norway

Utilise key information in order to asses and reduce risk associated with in this area of highly variable pressures and water depths

With increased focus on drilling in Mid-Norway following recent discoveries and revitalised licencing activity, GeoPressure Technology, the UK's leading pressure experts and IHS, developers of a unique Formation Pressure database, have combined in a joint venture to examine the distribution and impact of overpressure on Mid-Norway petroleum system.

The benefits to a company with exploration, development and/or production interests in the Mid-Norway include:

  • Reduced Risk
  • Associated time and cost savings
  • Potential reserves upside
  • Improved understanding of the regional pressure regime
  • Reliable and convenient information

This significant new Study utilising over 197 wells out of a possible 225 wells (at the time of the study) and the high quality data used in its compilation provide a comprehensive and authoritative picture of formation pressure distribution, and its causes within Mid-Norway, giving valuable calibration to in-house pressure interpretations at prospect up to regional scale.

Study area

 

Stratigraphic Horizons

  • Post-Palaeocene (Brygge)
  • Palaeocene (Tang and Tare)
  • Upper Cretaceous (Springar, Nise and Kvitnos)
  • Lower Cretaceous (Lange, Lysing and Lyr)
  • Upper Jurassic (Spekk and Melke)
  • Lower/Middle Jurassic (Garn, Ile, Tilje and Are)
  • Triassic

Key Deliverables

  • Pressure distribution maps and pressure depth plots focusing on the 7 chronostratigraphic horizons
  • In depth interpretations focusing on 4 case studies
  • An extensive inventory of pressure depth plots

Case Studies

  • Determination of fracture and lithostatic gradients
  • Seal breach risk for Lower Cretaceous and Jurassic reservoirs
  • Regional fluid flow: Evidence from Pressure Regressions (Reversals)
  • Field Examples
