Pore Pressure Prediction Studies
We achieve reduced risks and costs in drilling through accurate predictions of pressure gradients, fractures, and effective stress. We use advanced geomechanical models and seismic data to optimize operational planning and prevent issues related to geopressure and mechanical instability during well drilling.
Capabilities
- Multidisciplinary collaborative team with extensive experience and strong integration capability in multi-product projects involving technological convergence.
- Seismic data processing and development of advanced velocity models for pore pressure.
- Estimation of pore pressure volumes derived from high-frequency seismic inversion.
- We utilize geopressure data from advanced velocity models (3D), geomechanics (1D), and basin modeling.
- Geomechanics laboratory.
- Specialized software and high-performance computing tools.
Benefits for the client
- Reduce risk and uncertainty in onshore and Deepwater Gulf of Mexico exploration locations by utilizing comprehensive pore pressure models, basin modeling, and high-resolution geomechanics, supporting dynamic control of the operational window on site and optimizing execution time, formation productivity, and operational safety.
- Integrate a high level of cutting-edge technologies and methodologies.
- Increase the success rate in exploratory and production well drilling.
