Techlog Pore Pressure Prediction

Improve operational safety, visualize geomechanical outputs, and compute safe mud-weight windows.

• Compute safe mud weight window using state-of-the-art methods for estimating pore pressure and formation fracture gradients
• Calculate pore pressure from sonic data using the Eaton method

• Easy mapping of trendlines to offset wells.
• Buoyancy and centroid effect computation.
• Industry standard methods for fracture gradient computation, including constant k0 method, Eaton method, Matthews and Kelly method.
• Easy integration of calibration data such as XLOT of a mini-frac.

Overburden stress

• Overbuden stress computation integrating synthetic and measured density using the Extrapolation, Amoco, Miller, and Traugott methods.
• Synthetic density methods from Gardner, Sayers, and Wendt.

Pore pressure and fracture gradient
