Mid Norway Pressure Study 2nd Edition

Recently updated, this offshore Mid Norway pressure study combines our extensive experience of overpressures in Mid Norway and elsewhere, with IHS’s comprehensive, quality database, to examine the distribution and impact of overpressure on this region’s petroleum system.

The study has already been purchased by many operators in the area, as it provides key information on:

• The timing of pressure development and its influence on hydrocarbon trapping and
• Assessing and reducing risk associated with the highly variable pressure and water depths in the region

The Mid Norway study utilises over 197 wells out of a possible 225 wells*, providing a comprehensive and authoritative picture of formation pressure distribution, and its causes within the region. This gives an invaluable calibration to in-house pressure interpretations, resulting in a highly detailed look at many facets of Mid Norway pressure.

If your company has exploration, development and/or production interests in the Mid Norway you will benefit from:

• Reduced risk of experiencing unexpectedly high or low pressures
• Associated time and cost savings
• Identification of additional reserves
• Improved understanding of the regional pressure regime
• The dramatic contrasts in pressure regimes found in Jurassic/Triassic reservoirs explained
• See how the influence of glacial loading/unloading is related to seal breach and non-equilibrated fluids in some hydrocarbon fields
