Wireline logging—specifically wireline formation testing and pressure surveys—provides direct, depth-referenced measurements of in-situ reservoir pressure and fluid gradients, the backbone of ...

Formation testing is the downhole process of measuring in-situ reservoir pressure, estimating permeability/mobility, and capturing representative fluid samples before committing to completion and ...

Pressure-depth plots are powerful methods to visualize the wide array of industry pressure data and aid interpretation for safety, drilling, and exploration purposes. Pressure-depth plots and ...

The petroleum industry must predict pore-pressure profiles accurately, often walking a fine line between pore pressure and fracture gradient as it drills and completes oil and gas wells. The industry ...
