Ensuring Safe Drilling using Shale-Based Pore Pressure Prediction: an Introduction and Review of the Workflow in RokDoc

Understanding the pore pressure regime before drilling is an indispensable element for ensuring the success and safety of a drilling operation. In the industry’s prevailing practice, pore pressure prediction relies on normal compaction trends, employing shale porosity as a proxy for vertical effective stress.

Join our webinar as we delve into the theory underpinning this critical topic and demonstrate how to calculate pore pressure within the RokDoc software suite. In this session, we will:

• Highlight the essential data and prerequisites for shale-based pore pressure prediction
• Demonstrate the computation of overburden stress
• Explore the underlying principles of normal compaction trends and the generation of overpressure
• Demonstrate pore pressure calculation using various methodologies while shedding light on potential limitations
• Estimate fracture pressure through multiple approaches
