RokDoc PressureView, GeoPressure Calculators & Seismic Pressure Calculator

3 Day Course
This course is designed to be an introduction to PressureView, GeoPressure Calculator and Fracture Pressure Calculator modules within RokDoc. This course also introduces users to the features and functionality of Seismic Pressure Calculator.

There are three parts to this training course.

Detailed Course Overview
Part 1
The first part is designed to be an introduction to PressureView, which is now integrated in RokDoc, RokDoc PressureView. No previous experience of using PressureView or RokDoc is required, and it is suitable for new users of RokDoc PressureView, or users of the previous standalone version of PressureView. It is not intended to be an in-depth training course on pressure and overpressure in the subsurface, although a brief introduction to this topic will be given to familiarise people with basic concepts and terminology.
  • Gain a basic understanding of pressure in the sub-surface and examples of RokDoc-PressureView in use
  • Opening a project in RokDoc and using a Reference Project File
  • Creation of well lists
  • Gain familiarity with the basics of RokDoc-PressureView
  • Creation of Single- and Multi-well plots
  • Data interrogation, identification of fluid gradients and contacts
  • Use on-screen annotation, other functions and exporting plots
  • Using different plot types
  • Introduction to creating and editing wells, Pressure Sets and
  • Discrete Value Sets
  • PVD converter
  • Creating Reference Projects and setting an administrator
Part 2
Introduces the GeoPressure Calculator (GPC) and Fracture Pressure Calculator modules (FPC) within RokDoc. It discusses some of the basic concepts of overburden calculation, pore pressure prediction and fracture pressure prediction in shales, and outlines the background theory of predicting pore pressure in shales and then proceeds to demonstrate these using these calculators' applications. Although no previous experience of using RokDoc is required, it is advantageous.
Theory: Pore pressure prediction in shales
  • Normal Compaction Trend
  • Disequilibrium Compaction
  • The overburden (Lithostatic gradient)
  • Pore pressure prediction
  • Eaton's Ratio Method
  • Equivalent Depth Method
  • Bowers Velocity/Effective Method
  • Fracture Pressure calculations
Introduction to GPC
  • Overburden profile (Lithostatic Gradient)
  • Normal Compaction Trend
  • Pore Pressure Prediction
  • Equivalent Depth method
  • Eaton Ratio Method
  • Bowers Velocity/Effective Stress Method
Introduction to FPC
  • Matthews and Kelly (Stress Ratio Trend)
  • Eaton (Poissons Ratio Trend)
  • Daines
  • Breckels and Van Eekelen
  • Ikon GeoPressure Pore Pressure Stress Coupling
Part 3
Finally, attendees are introduced to the features and functionality of Seismic Pressure Calculator (SPC). A knowledge of the theory of pore pressure prediction and experience in using PressureView and GeoPressure calculators software is advantageous but not essential. It will not cover processing seismic velocity data for pressure prediction but will look at some of the problems associated with using seismic data for pressure prediction. Pore pressure prediction theory (brief outline) Pore pressure prediction from seismic theory (brief outline) Building a geological model of pore pressure from offset well data (brief outline) Defining a lithostatic trend from offset well data Defining a Normal Compaction Trend from offset well data Loading the seismic volume Loading horizon data Assessing the offset well and seismic data

3. Ikon Science shall provide one (1) suitably skilled and experienced trainer who shall deliver the Course in a professional manner and otherwise in accordance with the objectives, target audience and outline set out in this letter.
4. This Course booking form must be signed by: (i) an authorised signatory of the company being invoiced for the Course (“Company”); or (ii) by the Attendee if prior payment has been made on a personal basis and in advance.
5. This contract for the provision of training is governed by English law and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England & Wales.
6. In the event that the Company issues a purchase order to Ikon Science which relates to training for a specified number of Company personnel in the use of Ikon Science software as specified therein, Ikon Science hereby grants to Company a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence for each such personnel to use the relevant software (“Training Licence”) provided by Ikon Science in connection with the such training (“Training Licence”) solely for such training purposes and for no commercial or other purposes whatsoever. Training Licence shall be installed by Company on such equipment as Ikon Science shall specify and, unless otherwise agreed in writing, each Training Licence shall expire seven days after its date of issuance. Save as aforesaid, Ikon Science’s standard software licence terms which are not inconsistent with the terms of this paragraph shall apply to all Training Licences granted hereunder.
7. All prices quoted are net of all relevant taxes (including VAT).
8. If full payment is not made on booking, it shall be required within thirty (30) days of the invoice date.
9. The Attendee or Ikon Science may cancel or postpone the training course by written notice to the other. In the event that the Attendee cancels the course up to thirty (30) days prior to the course taking place Ikon Science will refund in full any fee paid in respect of the training course. If cancellations are requested by the Attendee between 30 and 14 days prior to the agreed training course commencement date, Ikon Science reserves the right to retain 50% of the full fee. If such cancellation by the Attendee is made less than 14 days prior to the training course commencement date, the Attendee will forfeit the fee in full.
10. If a request for postponement of the training course is received at least 14 days prior to the course taking place, the Attendee and Ikon Science shall work together in good faith to agree alternative dates for the training course.
