Abstract:Failure to accurately determine pore pressures prior to well planning has led to costly drilling failures and major environmental concerns. Uncertainty in these pressures arise from the lack of fit for purpose models suitable for pressures in the Niger Delta. In this work, Log methods have been applied to predict pore pressures for a field in the Niger Delta. RFT data has been used to validate existing pressure modelling methods to aid in selecting best suited model for this field.
