Reservoir Services - HDHR Seal Capacity/Pore Pressure

Geotrace provides two types of High Density High Resolution (HDHR) pore pressure solutions for exploration, appraisal and production activities: seal capacity cube (SCC) and pore pressure cube (PPC).

Our seal capacity cube solution is suitable for assessing seal integrity and hydrocarbon accumulation column height focused on prospect evaluation and well location decisions. SCC delivers HDHR 3D volumes of velocity, pore pressure and fracture gradient.

Our pore pressure cube is designed for well planning, mud weight and casing string design, and drill risk management focused on engineering operation and drilling hazard. PPC provides HDHR 3D volumes of velocity, pore pressure, fracture gradient, equivalent mud weights, effective stress, and overburden pressure, as well as a report of the studied well with tables and graphs that shows the pressure gradient with a time/depth-variant estimated uncertainty.

Geotrace has adopted proven technology and uses in-house proprietary software and methodology to build a calibrated pressure model (CPM) and transform seismic interval velocity into various pressure attributes. This rigorous CPM methodology provides much more accurate pressure estimation because it begins with the most accurate HDHR velocity (up to 6th order with anisotropy); it takes into account compaction, temperature gradient and shale diagenesis; and it is calibrated with known well and drilling data.
