oa Integrated Hydrodynamic Analysis of Fluid Pressure and Leak-off Pressure Distributions to Evaluate Seal Effectiveness

Hydrodynamic methods are used to analyse the present-day fluid overpressure and leak-off pressure distributions in offshore Netherlands in combination with recently completed stratigraphic and structural maps, and knowledge on distribution and characteristics of oil and gas accumulations. This paper presents an overview of the results, including an improved characterisation of the permeability framework of offshore Netherlands with focus on the seal effectiveness of the low permeable units and identification of locations of seal breach risk.
