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 within this area of highly variable pressure 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 join 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
• Imporved understanding of hte 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, nad its causes within Mid-Norway, giving valuable calibration to in-house pressure interpretations at prospect up to regional scale.

Stratigraphic Horizons

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

Key Devilerables

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

The completed study, produced in collaboration with IHS Energy, is now available to buy through GeoPressure Technology
