About Training
Formation pressure characteristic is a key factor to evaluate for exploration targets. It reflects hydrocarbon generation and migration, which are key considerations for exploration evaluation, as well as for drilling decisions.
This course will provide a better understanding of pressure characteristics found in the subsurface. Delegates will be able to define the fundamentals of pore pressure, fracture pressure, and overburden pressure as well as earth stresses.
Practical Methodologies and Techniques in Formation Pressure Evaluation
Techniques in evaluating formation pressure both qualitatively and quantitatively will be presented, including methods for pre-well prediction using seismic and basin modeling as well as evaluation using trend analysis and pore pressure indicators.
Integrated Evaluation from Subsurface an Drilling Data
Techniques on how to correlate and verify subsurface and drilling data will be developed into a working evaluation processing in order to fully understand formation pressures. You will be able to integrate subsurface data & drilling events, control data quality, identify non-pore pressure related hole problems, and understand the behavior of data before making any prediction analysis.
Training Objectives
- Identify Pore Pressure Indicators and Learn Techniques to Detect Them
- Identify pore pressure indicators and learn techniques to detect them through understanding of the different formation pressures from pore, fracture, and over burden.c
- Utilize Formation Pressure Analysis for Hydrocarbon Evaluation
- Master the evaluation and calculation of subsurface pressures through both quantitative and qualitative methods.
- Design Safe Drilling and Well Planning for HPHT Wells
- Understand critical data requirements for pore pressure prediction and evaluation and understand the hazardous events of influxes and kicks during drilling operations.
- Generate a More Informed Decision through Integrated Data Analysis
- Integrate subsurface data & drilling events, control data quality, identify non-pore pressure related hole problems, and understand the behavior of data before making any prediction analysis.
Audiences
The course is designed for Those who are involved with analysis of formation pressure, either during development or during the operational stage.
Job Titles Include:

Instructor
Tim Herrett
Tim has over 30 years experience as both a wellsite and operations geologist working mainly in Norway, Egypt, Brazil and Turkey. He still periodically works in the field as a senior wellsite geologist specializing in pressure evaluation in deep, HTHP wells. Since 2000 he has worked on HTHP wells for ExxonMobil and BP in Norway, Brazil, Turkey and Egypt.
He has also worked as a consultant project geologist engaged by Mobil, Exxon and BP to work on in-house pore pressure projects and training manuals. He has written operations geology and pressure evaluation procedures manuals for Mobil, Exxon and BP.
Tim has also been heavily involved in training throughout his career either on a one to one basis at the wellsite or presenting to classes. Over the last 15 years has written and presented a number of well received courses on wellsite and operations geology and pore pressure evaluation to the oil industry. He is the principle presenter of BP’s in-house Operations Geology course. He is also a part time lecturer on post graduate courses at the Universities of Manchester and Derby in the UK.
