Challenges for Better Pore Pressure Prediction in the North Sea

I015 Challenges for Better Pore Pressure Prediction in the North Sea J. Khazanehdari* (Schlumberger) & N. Dutta (Schlumberger) SUMMARY EAGE 69 th Conference & Exhibition — London UK 11 - 14 June 2007 The complex pressure regimes in many new exploration and development areas in the North Sea (for example High Pressure and High temperature fields Central Graben Shetland areas Barent Sea etc.) provides many new challenges at different stages of the drilling: (i) Pre-drill (well planning) (ii) while drilling (act as support and update using real-time data) and finally (iii) post-drill (support role and improve pressure monitoring).
