Richard Swarbrick, managing director of GPT, said, “Based on the high-quality IHS pressure database, coupled with our extensive interpretation experience of high-pressure terrains, we have identified significant pressure trends controlling fluid-flow movements, seal capacity and the distribution of the highest pressure compartments across the region. With pressure-related issues having a major impact on reducing drilling costs and increasing the understanding of prospectivity, the study is a valuable tool for both explorationists and drilling engineers in areas of safety, well planning and seeking out new exploration opportunities.”
The mid-Norway study is presented in printed and electronic format, including 18 maps as well as geo-referenced digital files. The company interpreted more than 1,200 wells in its 2004 Central North Sea pressure study and is planning similar studies for
