    Book description

    Geopressure, or pore pressure in subsurface rock formations impacts hydrocarbon resource estimation, drilling, and drilling safety in operations. This book provides a comprehensive overview of geopressure analysis bringing together rock physics, seismic technology, quantitative basin modeling and geomechanics. It provides a fundamental physical and geological basis for understanding geopressure by explaining the coupled mechanical and thermal processes. It also brings together state-of-the-art tools and technologies for analysis and detection of geopressure, along with the associated uncertainty. Prediction and detection of shallow geohazards and gas hydrates is also discussed and field examples are used to illustrate how models can be practically applied. With supplementary MATLAB® codes and exercises available online, this is an ideal resource for students, researchers and industry professionals in geoscience and petroleum engineering looking to understand and analyse subsurface formation pressure.

    Reviews

    ‘… the book concludes with chapters on best practices and recent advances. Concepts are well illustrated throughout, and a group of selected color illustrations is provided at the center of the book … Anyone working in the field of petroleum fluid extraction or planning to do so in the future should definitely own a copy of this book. This reviewer would not hesitate to adopt this textbook for use in teaching … Highly recommended.’
