Third EAGE Workshop on Pore Pressure Prediction

14-16 December 2020 | ONLINE

Topics

The topics for the Third EAGE Workshop on Pore Pressure Prediction are listed below. 

1. Pore Pressure and Stress Analysis for Hydrocarbon Exploration and CO2 Storage

  • What is the interplay between pore pressure, stress and the interpretation and assessment of the geological configuration of traps?
  • What methods are used to assess caprock integrity and sealing capacity (basin modelling, seismic attribute analysis, other)? 
  • How do we perform such evaluation in complex fold and thrust, salt tectonic or other environments?
  • Does our estimation of effective stress history affect reservoir quality assessment?
  • Case studies incorporating pore pressure and stress analyses

2. Advances in Rock Property Modeling for Pore Pressure and Stress Prediction

  • Integration of geomechanical and petrophysical shale properties for prediction of pressure and stress in overpressured environments. 
  • How do practitioners incorporate processes such as smectite to illite transformation, creep compaction, different mineralogy and clay fractions in their estimation of pore pressure and stress?
  • How are mechanical and petrophysical properties of other rock types (not shale) incorporated into the analysis and prediction of pore pressure and stress?
  • How do local stress variations and uncertainties regarding the stress regime impact pore pressure analysis and prediction?
  • Case studies

3. Pore Pressure Detection and Prediction During Drilling Operations  

  • Are LWD tools that can look ahead of the bit being used in operations?
  • Are VSP lookaheads being used with any success?
  • How are the pre-drill models updated with the acquired data and observations while drilling?
  • Case studies of challenging pore pressure while drilling examples 

4. 3D Pore Pressure Models, are they a game changer or a pitfall?

  • What techniques are used to build 3D pore pressure and geomechanical models? How are they being used?
  • Do we have examples of integration with reservoir modeling during development, production and abandonment?

5. New Technology / Approaches

  • Are Artificial Intelligence / Machine learning techniques being applied to pore pressure prediction and detection?
  • Are any developments from the carbon capture and storage and geothermal energy areas impacting conventional pore pressure and fracture gradient prediction?
  • Some examples of faster basin modeling techniques have been proposed in recent years, are these in active use?
  • Are models benefiting from techniques such as automatic seismic and log interpretation?
