Challenge of Pressure Prediction in Deep Exploration Targets
Richard Swarbrick PhD GeoPressure Technology, Ikon Science "Challenge of Pressure Prediction in Deep Exploration Targets" Abstract: As drilling moves to deeper targets (as well as deeper water) as the last frontiers of exploration for remaining hydrocarbon reserves, the challenge of pressure prediction becomes more acute. Traditional porosity and/or effective stress-based prediction of pore pressures works well in lowtemperature, fine-grained clastics (shales, claystones) but progressively und...

Seal breach, fluid expulsion and a mud volcano in East Java
Houston seminar: 30th September, 2008 Richard Swarbrick PhD GeoPressure Technology, Ikon Science "Seal breach, fluid expulsion and a mud volcano in East Java" Abstract: Some valid traps have hydrocarbons present, some have not. There are a number of possible explanations including lack of a mature source rock, late trap development and migration "shadow" as well as loss of hydrocarbons which enter the trap. Loss of hydrocarbons through a seal may involve hydrocarbon buoyancy (membrane leakage...

NEWS NATURE|Vol 445|1 February 2007 Volcano gets choke chains to slow mud Indonesian geophysicists hope to stem the flow of a destructive mud volcano on East Java by dropping chains of concrete balls into its mouth. The mud eruption began on 29 May last year in the middle of a rice paddy in the village of Porong, 30 kilometres south of Surabaya, the provincial capital. Since then, the volcano has spewed out up to 126,000 cubic metres of mud a day, flooding an area of more than 4 square kilomet...
