Abstract


Seismic Pore Pressure Prediction (PPP) provides volumetric estimates of pore pressure across reservoirs, fields and even at the basin scale. Pore pressure prediction performed across large areas can be used as a more qualitative exploration tool at a basin scale. These large volumes provide an overview of pressure and fluid behaviour within the basin and can be used to identify important features, such as the behaviour of faults, over-pressured compartments, Seal effectiveness etc. Such data can be used by geologists and reservoir engineers to improve understanding of hydrocarbon basins, identify potential drilling hazards and improve well positioning. The present paper summarises the PPP studies carried out over the entire Oil India Limited
