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...

Some Challenges in Modeling Drilling Geomechanics in Complex Reservoirs
Houston seminar: 30th September, 2008 Elan Yogeswaren PE PhD GeoMechanics Technology Group, Ikon Science "Some Challenges in Modeling Drilling Geomechanics in Complex Reservoirs" Abstract: As oil and gas exploration begins to tap complex reservoirs such as those in deep water subsalt plays or complex tectonic stress domains, or in unconventional assets such as oil shale, challenges and opportunities in cost control are presented. These can be mitigated by the application of optimal technology...
