Pore Pressure Estimation in HPHT Wells

The title of the project is "pore pressure estimation in high heat flow reservoir". This
project is about how to estimate pore pressure in High Pressure High Temperature
(HPHT) enviromnent. As the industry today troubled with depletion of existing fields,
scarcity of easier targets, HPHT wells are now increasing in many parts of the world.
However, HPHT wells pose a greater challenge that allow small margin of error and
requires great expertise. A pre-drill estimate of formation pore pressure is a key
requirement for safe and economic drilling of deepwater wells, and enables optimal
casing and mud design. In this project, sets of data from HPHT wells will be interpreted
using various available pore pressure estimation techniques that already developed and
see what is the most accurate to be used in HPHT wells. A new correlation also
developed to predict pore pressure using formation data and temperature data.
