Pore
Pressure Prediction in Practice
Two-day training course
Course description
Pore pressure prediction forms part of the
well planning process. A range of techniques is available:
some true prediction tools (e.g. based on seismic data), others
are established using offset well data. Some methods work well
in one environment and not in others. Many techniques assume
the origin of overpressure is from ineffective dewatering of
sediments during compaction. The principal aim of the course
is to develop understanding and familiarity with pore pressure
prediction techniques, as well as kowing their limitations,
in the context of the rocks and fluids found in a range of
petroleum systems.
Course objectives
- To learn familiarity with the principal prediction
techniques
- To practice prediction using real examples
- To recognise
the uncertainties and limitations of prediction
- To
understand the context of overpressure and the principal mechanismsof generation in sedimentary basins
Training
instructor
The training courses we offer are instructed
by the Managing Director of GeoPressure Technology, Dr Richard
Swarbrick and Dr Rick Lahann. As a world expert in oilfield pressures, Richard
is also an instructor for the Geoscience Training Alliance
and the AAPG Continuing Education Program. Dr. Richard Lahann is an independent consultant with a long-term relationship with GeoPressure Technology. Rick worked for ConocoPhillips for 23 years in the areas of
technology development and application in clastic diagenesis/reservoir properties and fluid/fracture pressure causes, prediction and interpretation.
