Predicting Abnormal Pressure from 2-D Seismic Velocity Modeling

Abstract: Seismic velocities are the only data available, before drilling, on which to base a quantitative, present-day estimate of abnormal pressure. Recent advances in seismic velocity processing have enabled us to obtain, using an in-house approach, an optimized 2-D interval velocity field and consequently to better define the lateral extension of pressure regimes. The methodology, interpretation and quantification of overpressure-related anomalies are supported by case studies, selected in sand-sha… Show more

“…2). Other empirical relationships are still used for predicting abnormal pressures before drilling, from low frequency, seismic-derived interval velocities (Grauls et al, 1995). The success ratio obtained from seismic predictions, was close to 65% considering a relative uncertainty on overpressure estimate (OVP) less than or equal to 10% (delta OVP/OVP < or = 0.1).…”

“…The decrease in the P-wave velocity with increasing pore pressure has been used for overpressure detection (e.g., Grauls et al, 1995;Moos and Zwart, 1998). However, velocity does not uniquely indicate pore pressure because it also depends, among other factors, on porosity, mineralogy, and texture of rock.…”
