Nos projetos de engenharia de poço, o conhecimento das pressões é fundamental para o planejamento do poço e otimização do processo construtivo. Em geral, as estimativas de pressão de poros são feitas baseadas em análises unidimensionais de poços de correlação e dependem da experiência do analista responsável. Tais estimativas não contemplam todos os dados de uma região e muitas vezes dados não são bem aproveitados. Neste trabalho, é apresentada uma metodologia para estimativa de pressão de poros tridimensional, onde as propriedades dos poços da mesma região foram extrapoladas para toda área através da ferramenta geoestatística. A partir desta extrapolação, foi possível obter-se perfis sintéticos em qualquer locação dentro da região delimitada com maior confiabilidade, enriquecer a compreensão global da região modelada e finalmente construir um cubo tridimensional de pressão de poros utilizando os modelos de Eaton e Bowers, baseando-se no critério que a região apresenta a mesma tendência de compactação.
The knowledge of pore pressures of rocks is critical to several aspects of petroleum the well design and planning. Usually, in the petroleum industry, estimations are based on 1D analyses of the analogues wells and depend on the professional experience. Moreover, estimations do not consider the whole base data of the field. In this dissertation, is presented a methodology for 3D pore pressure estimation, where well data is calculated for the whole area applying a geostatistical tool to build the 3D properties model. From that, it was possible to make more credible synthetics well logs at any location, enrich the whole area comprehension, and also, to build the pore pressure cube based on Eaton and Bowers pore pressure estimations models.

Testo completoThe main objective of this PhD thesis is to identify experimentally the interstitial pore pressure of a very wet concrete under high confining pressure. This work is a part of a more general project aiming to understand the concrete behavior under impact during which, a high triaxial stress states occurs. Besides, massive concrete structures keep a saturation ratio strongly depth dependent almost their life time. The quantity of free water contained in concrete pores has a preponderant role on its behavior under high confinement compare to other material parameters (e.g: water/cement ratio or the concrete porosity). Under such loading, porosity closure occurs and causes an increase of interstitial pore pressure which is never measured.In order to perform interstitial pore pressure measurement, two configurations issued from a new testing technic have been developed using the Giga press of 3SR Lab. The technic, detailed in the first two chapters, consists in replacing the 14 cm R30A7 reference concrete sample by a smaller one with a water collect cap below it. The latter is composed of two parts: a movable plug equipped by a sealing joint permitting the access into the cap free space, and a micro-holed cap which is accosted on the concrete sample. A deformable sensor is placed into the free space of the water collect cap. Thus, when the sample is pressurized at high confinement, the interstitial water inside the concrete is transmitted to the sensor through cap micro-holes. The design, protection and calibration of each sensor are discussed.The second part of this thesis is dedicated for pore pressure analysis results. This latter seems to reach high values ranging from 250 till 400 MPa for 500 MPa of confinement. The concrete volumetric behavior under drained condition is lower than the saturated concrete under undrained condition. The collected data reveals that pore pressure increases linearly with the confining pressure within a slope of 0.7.An analytical modeling, within the poro-mechanical framework, is developed in order to estimate the pore pressure and concrete volumetric behavior under high confinement. The model shows promising results while comparing it to the experimental values

Testo completoA modelagem tridimensional (3D) de gradiente de pressões de poros geralmente é feita utilizando dados sísmicos e calibrada com dados de poços, não sendo comum na indústria de petróleo a geração de modelos 3D baseados exclusivamente em dados de poços. A utilização de dados de poços para modelos unidimensionais do gradiente de pressão de poros, contudo, é trivial. Neste trabalho são apresentadas modelagens 3D de pressão de poros pelo método de Eaton e pelo método de Bowers, exclusivamente a partir de dados de poços (14) de um campo brasileiro. A metodologia utilizada foi baseada no programa Drillowrks 3D, da Knowledge Systems, sendo considerado apenas o fenômeno da subcompactação como possível mecanismo gerador das sobrepressões. Embora os dados sísmicos sejam os mais usados na indústria de petróleo e gás para a modelagem 3D de pressão de poros, um estudo de caso apresentado neste trabalho mostra que o uso de dados de poços para a modelagem 3D de pressão de poros é satisfatório, atingindo-se erros inferiores a 1ppg para ambas as metodologias, em relação a medidas diretas de pressão de poros.
Tridimensional (3D) modeling of pore pressure gradient is usually based on seismic data and calibrated with well data. Tridimensional models based exclusively in well data are not common in the oil industry. However, well data are regulary used to derive unidimensional models of the pore pressure gradient. The current work presents 3D models of pore pressure gradient using the Eaton method and Bowers method, derived from 14 wells data in a Brazilian field. The methodology used was based in the software Drillowrks 3D, from Knowledge Systems. The undercompaction mechanism was considered as the overpressure generator. Although the seismic data are the most commonly used in oil and gas industry for 3D pore pressure modeling, a case study presented herein shows that using wells data for 3D pore pressure modeling is satisfactory, with errors less than 1ppg in both methods in respect to direct measurements of pore pressure.

Testo completoHøye poretrykk utgjør en risiko for boreoperasjoner på Norsk Sokkel og internasjonalt. Denne risikoen kan reduseres dersom man har kjennskap til poretrykksforholdene før boring. Poretrykk er også en viktig parameter for felt i produksjon, og kunnskap om hvordan dette utvikler seg over tid vil kunne ha stor betydning for økt oljeutvinning. Seismiske data inneholder informasjon om poretrykket og kan derfor bidra til økt kunnskap på dette området. Avhandlingen tar for seg hvordan hastighets- og amplitudeinformasjon fra seismiske data kan brukes for å estimere poretrykk.
Abnormally high pore pressures in the subsurface pose a hazard to drilling operations worldwide. The problem is not unusual on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Knowledge of the pore pressure prior to drilling may reduce the risk related to drilling in high pressure zones. Pore pressure is also a vital paramter for producinig fields, and knowledge of how the pressure develops over time can be important for increased oil recovery. Seismic data contain information on the pore pressure and may contribute to increased understanding of subsurface pressure conditions. The thesis deals with methods for estimation of pressure from seismic velocity and amplitude data.

Meeting the ever-increasing energy demand requires efficient extraction of hydrocarbons from unconventional reservoirs and enhanced recovery from conventional reservoirs, which necessitate a thorough understanding of the interfacial and transport phenomena involved in the extraction process. Abundant water is found in both conventional oil reservoirs and emerging hydrocarbon reservoirs such as shales. The interfacial behavior and transport of water and hydrocarbon in these systems can largely affect the oil and gas recovery process, but are not well understood, especially at pore scale. To fill in the knowledge gap on these important problems, this dissertation focuses on the pore-scale multiphase interfacial and transport phenomena in hydrocarbon reservoirs. In shales, water is found to imbibe into strongly hydrophilic nanopores even though the pore is filled with highly pressurized methane. Methane gas can invade into water-filled nanopores if its pressure exceeds a threshold value, and the thin residual water films on the pore walls significantly affect the threshold pressure. Oil droplet can invade pores narrower than their diameter, and the energy cost for their invasion can only be computed accurately if the surface forces in the thin film formed between the droplet and pore surface are considered. In conventional reservoirs, thin brine films between oil droplet and rock greatly affect the wettability of oil droplets on the rock surface and thus the effectiveness of low-salinity waterflooding. In brine films with sub-nanometer thickness, the ion distribution differs from that near isolated rock surfaces but the structure of water-brine/rock interfaces is similar to their unconfined counterparts. The disjoining pressure in thin brine films and its response to the salinity change follow the trend predicted by classical theories, but new features are also found. A notable slip between the brine film and the oil phase can occur, which can facilitate the recovery of oil from reservoirs.

The new technologies to recover unconventional resources in oil and gas industry, such as fracturing and horizontal drilling, boosted the production of shale gas and tight oil in 21st century and contributed to the North America oil and gas production. Although the new technologies and strong demand spiked the production of tight oil resources, there are still unknowns of oil and gas flow mechanisms in tight rock reservoirs. As we know, the oil and gas resources are stored in the pores of reservoir formation rock. During production process, the oil and gas are pushed into production wells by formation pressure. However, the pore radius of shale rock is extremely small (around nanometers), which reduces the flow rate of oil and gas and raises capillary pressure in pores. The high capillary pressure will alter the oil and gas phase behavior and it may influence the value of minimum miscibility pressure (MMP), which is an important design parameter for CO2 injection (an important technology to raise production). To investigate this influence, we changed classical model with considering capillary pressure and this modified model is implemented in different methods to calculate MMP. The results show that CO2 -MMP in shale reservoirs are affected by capillary pressure and the results from different methods match well. Moreover, in tight rock reservoirs, the heterogeneous pore size distribution, such as fractures in reservoirs, may affect the flow of oil and gas and MMP value. So, this work also investigates the effect of pore size heterogeneity on oil and gas flow mechanisms. According to the simulation results, compositional gradient forms in heterogeneous nanopores of tight reservoirs and this gradient will cause diffusion which will dominate the other fluid flow mechanisms. Therefore, we always need to consider molecular diffusion in the simulation model for shale reservoirs.

Testo completoand, related stabilization efforts can be too costly. Most of these slow-moving landslides are reactivated landslides in stiff clays and shales, and they are mainly triggered by rainfall induced high pore water pressures. In this study, a number of reactivated, slow-moving landslide case histories with extensive pore pressure and movement data are selected for further analysis. For these landslides, the relation between pore water pressures, factor of safety and rate of movements of the slide are investigated by using limit equilibrium and finite element methods. It is found that there is a nonlinear relationship between these three variables. Sensitivity of slow moving landslides to changes in pore water pressure is developed by defining the percent change in factor of safety and percent change in pore pressure coefficient, for 10-fold change in velocity. Such relations could especially be useful in planning required level of remediation, for example, to decide on how many meters the ground water level should be lowered at a certain piezometric location, so that the stability increases to a desired level of F.S., and movement rates are reduced to an acceptable slow rate.

A caracterização das pressões de poros nas bacias sedimentares marinhas é fundamental dentro da etapa de planejamento dos projetos de perfuração na indústria do Petróleo. Uma vez que o desconhecimento dessas pressões coloca em risco a integridade das pessoas nas sondas de perfuração, o ambiente, além de causar grandes prejuízos para as companhias. As metodologias para a estimativa das poropressões na indústria do petróleo tiveram grande desenvolvimento a partir da década de1950. Porém, a grande maioria delas não levam em consideração caraterísticas geológicas importantes como a diagêneses das rochas, as condições de contorno para o fluxo de fluidos, e os mecanismos de dissipação das sobrepressões durante o tempo geológico. Por isso, o principal objetivo do trabalho é fortalecer os estudos convencionais de estimativa de pressão de poros incluindo uma metodologia não convencional com abordagem na modelagem de bacias. Essa metodologia permite analisar o fenômeno como um sistema dinâmico, bem como levar em consideração os mecanismos de geração e de dissipação das pressões durante a evolução geológica da Bacia. Apresenta-se a descrição dos principais mecanismos de geração de sobrepressão, a teoria que descreve o fenômeno das sobrepressões, as metodologias convencionais utilizadas na indústria do petróleo e as hipóteses da metodologia baseada na modelagem de bacias. Utilizou-se o software SEMIMT, do instituto de pesquisa da Noruega, o SINTEF, para realizar a estimativa das poropressões na Bacia de Guajira, uma região offshore do norte da Colômbia. A estimativa das pressões considerou os contornos da bacia, o modelo geológico da região, o histórico de soterramento da Bacia, bem como de modelos de compactação e os modelos de fluxo vertical e fluxo horizontal dos fluidos. O resultado da estimativa das pressões permitiu definir quatro zonas com diferente grau de sobrepressão na área em estudo, que foram comparados com uma metodologia convencional, bem com dados históricos de poços perfurados na região.
Pore pressure prediction is a critical issue for well planning in the oil and gas industry. It is even more critical for offshore environments due to high risks involved in drilling operation. Blowout is the main risk regarding pore pressure since it could cause rig explosion, and oil spills to environment. Such problems can lead a successful company to a very weak position. Therefore, since the fifties, several methodologies for pore pressure prediction have been developed for the industry. Most of them just consider the mechanism of compaction as the main cause of overpressure, ignoring other factors such as rock diagenesis, boundary conditions for fluid flow, and pressure dissipation during the geologic history. That is why the main objective of this work is improving current pore pressure studies, including an alternative methodology (developed by the Norway Petroleum Research Institute - SINTEF), from a scale of basin modeling. That methodology allows analyzing the pressure phenomenon like a dynamic system, where the interaction of the overpressure and the pressure dissipation mechanisms are considered during the geological history. In this paper, main characteristics of overpressure mechanisms are briefly described as well as common methodologies used in the Oil and Gas industry for pressure prediction. Furthermore, the most important hypothesis for basing modeling methodology is described. SEMIMT software was used to predict pore pressure in Guajira Basin, an offshore region located in north Colombia. Results of basin modeling methodology allowed defining four overpressure zones which fit adequately with wells data. Besides, that result was compared with a conventional methodology. Finally, a discussion about the results is presented, highlighting the main advantages and disadvantages observed in this research.

O tempo não produtivo (NPT) durante a perfuração de poços de petróleo pode ser responsável pela perda de milhões de dólares em atividades offshore. A má previsão da pressão de poros pode ser uma das responsáveis pelo NPT de um poço ou mesmo sua perda definitiva em campos geologicamente complexos, como em bacias evaporíticas. Nesses campos complexos, os métodos de previsão de pressão de poros convencionais nem sempre são capazes de prever bem a distribuição de pressão de poros, mesmo após a perfuração de número considerável de poços. Este trabalho estuda técnicas alternativas que atendam ao problema de previsão de pressão para esses casos. Para fundamentar os estudos, é apresentada uma revisão sobre os riscos associados à perfuração em bacias evaporíticas e sobre os métodos de previsão de pressão existentes (métodos convencionais, sísmicos, modelagem geológica geomecânica 3D, modelagem pelo método dos elementos finitos e modelagem de bacias). Avaliando os problemas de perfuração nestes campos e as dificuldades de previsão dos métodos convencionais, nota-se que a complexidade imposta pelas consequências da presença do sal pode ser reduzida pelo uso de métodos que considerem a geologia local de forma mais abrangente em seu fluxo de trabalho. Concluiu-se que a modelagem de bacias e a modelagem geológica geomecânica 3D têm forte potencial de aplicação para estes casos. As técnicas, contudo, não tem a previsão de pressão de poros por objetivo principal, mas podem ser aplicadas ou adaptadas para tal fim. Este estudo apresenta adaptações de metodologia e/ou aplicações direcionadas de ambas para fins de previsão de pressão de poros. Para validar as propostas apresentadas, estudos de caso foram desenvolvidos e apresentaram resultados considerados bastante satisfatórios.
The non-productive time (NPT) while drilling oil and gas wells may be responsible for losing millions of dollars, especially in offshore activities. Bad pore pressure predictions may be responsible for large NPT or even the definitive loss of well in geologically complex fields, such as evaporate basins. On these complex fields, the conventional pore pressure prediction methods sometimes are not capable of providing good predictions, even if a considerable number of wells has been already drilled. This thesis studies alternative techniques which may attend for pore pressure prediction in these cases. In order to develop a consistent knowledge about the case, a literature review has been conducted in two ways: to understand what are the risks associated to drilling in evaporate basins; to review what are the available methods for pore pressure prediction (conventional methods, seismic methods, 3D geological and geomechanical modeling, finite element methods and basin modeling). During analyzing geomechanical drilling risks in these sites, and the difficulties found by conventional methods to predict it, it was noted that the complexity imposed by the presence of salt bodies can be reduced by using methods that make a strong use of geological knowledge on their workflow. It has been concluded that basin modeling and 3D geological and geomechanical modeling have a good potential to be applied for this goal. The techniques, nevertheless, do not have pore pressure prediction as their main goal, but can be applied to or adapted for such finality. This work presents some methodology adaptations and/or applications of both of techniques directed to pore pressure prediction goals. In order to validate the presented proposals, case studies has been developed, and their results were considered satisfactory.

Testo completoThis dissertation is based on a curricular training period done at company Total EP Angola between July and December 2013. The data presented relate to a real case study of an exploration block, which for reasons of confidentiality is designated by Block Michocho. The fluids pressure measurement in the geological formations can be inferred from the formation resistivity log. In not perpendicular wells to the layers, resistivity curves show higher values than the expected due to the anisotropic effect of the formation thus the inference of the pressure of fluids from resistivity logs can lead to unrealistic values. Most of the developments wells drilled on Block Michocho in Angola are highly deviated, if not sub-horizontal, in the reservoir section. The objective of this work is to correct the anisotropic effect of the resistivity of Block Michocho due to non-perpendicularity of the wells when intersect the geological formations. In this study, the correction of the resistivity is based on the formula proposed by Moran and Gianzero in 1979 and involves the dipping angle of the induction logging tool and the coefficient of anisotropy of the rock formation. Prior to application of this formula for the corrections of resistivity of the Block Michocho wells logs, a set of validation tests were made. Due to lack of data on development wells (highly inclined wells) the validation test was carried out in five exploration wells where resistivity is available in the two principal directions. It was assumed that the formula would be approved for resistivity corrections if the horizontal resistivity obtained by the formula had a good correspondence with the horizontal resistivity obtained by the induction logging tool. After this validation step, the coefficient of anisotropy to be used in the formula was calibrated as well as the correction of the curves of resistivity of the remaining development wells, those much more diverted regarding the rock layers. The corrected resistivity can be applied for pore pressure prediction in low permeability rock formations, in which the main objective is to identify regions where fluid pressure is higher than normal pressure, i.e. overpressure regions. For illustration purposes, a resistivity curve from an exploration well was chosen and the pressure of the fluids in low permeability rocks was computed by using the formula proposed by Eaton in 1975. With this well data, a potential overpressure region was identified and should be avoided in drilling activities.

Testo completoThis thesis studies the issue of the overall safety of structures built of heterogeneous and pore-saturated materials under extreme loads in application to fluid-structure interaction problems, such as the dam-reservoir interaction. We propose a numerical model of interaction capable of predicting main tendencies and overall behavior of pore-saturated dam structure interacting with the reservoir in failure analyses of practical interest. The proposed numerical model is first presented in two-dimensional (2D) framework and later extended to three-dimensional (3D) framework. We consider the structure built of porous cohesive material. We assume that the external fluid in interaction with the structure acts as a source of pore saturation. We model the response of the pore-saturated structure with the coupled discrete beam lattice model based on Voronoi cell representation of domain with inelastic Timoshenko beam finite elements enhanced with additional kinematics in terms of embedded strong discontinuities acting as cohesive links. The coupling between the solid phase and the pore fluid is handled with Biot’s porous media theory, and Darcy’s law governing the pore fluid flow. The numerical consideration of internal coupling results with an additional pressure-type degree of freedom placed at each node of the Timoshenko beam finite element, which is later used at the fluidstructure interface. The confined conditions met for external fluid placed in the reservoir enable the modeling of external fluid motion with the acoustic wave theory. For the numerical representation of the external fluid limited to small (irrotational) motion, we choose a Lagrangian formulation and the mixed displacement/pressure based finite element approximation. The end result are the displacement and pressure degrees of freedom per node of external fluid finite elements, which allows for the issue of the fluid-structure interface to be solved in an efficient and straightforward manner by directly connecting the structure and external fluid finite elements at common nodes. As a result, all computations can be performed in a fully monolithic manner. All numerical implementations and computations are performed with the research version of the computer code FEAP (Finite Element Analysis Program). The proposed numerical models of structure, external fluid and ultimately numerical model of interaction are validated in the linear elastic regime of structure response by comparing computed results against reference values obtained either with analytical solutions or continuum models. The numerical simulations in the nonlinear regime of structure response are performed with the aim to demonstrate the proposed coupled discrete beam lattice model capabilities to capture complete macro-scale response and failure mechanisms in pore-saturated structures. Finally, the proposed numerical model of interaction ability to deal with the progressive localized failure of a dam structure built of porous cohesive material under damreservoir interaction for a particular loading program was tested. To account for the temperature effects, the thermal coupling is introduced in the numerical model of the structure

Testo completoThe stability of open-pit mine walls and other geotechnical infrastructure is a function of geometry, material properties and groundwater conditions (pore pressure distribution). A portion of failures are attributed to the effect of pore water pressures within the mine wall slopes. The objective of this research was to investigate the interaction between the increments/decrements of stresses that occur during the lithostatic unloading/excavation of the pit and the increments/decrements of pore water pressures. This interaction can be described by the theory of linear poroelasticity, which incorporates the coupling between changes in fluid pressure and changes in stress in porous media.

Testo completoEsta tese propõe uma metodologia de estimativa de pressão de poros em rochasreservatório através dos atributos sísmicos velocidade compressional V(p) e velocidade cisalhante V(s). Na metodologia, os atributos são encarados como observações realizadas sobre um sistema físico, cujo comportamento depende de um determinado número de grandezas não observáveis, dentre as quais a pressão de poros é apenas uma delas. Para estimar a pressão de poros, adota-se uma abordagem Bayesiana de inversão. Através de uma função de verossimilhança, estabelecida através de um modelo de física de rochas calibrável para a região, e do teorema de Bayes, combina- se as informações pré-existentes sobre os parâmetros de rocha, fluido e estado de tensões com os atributos sísmicos observados, inferindo probabilisticamente a pressão de poros. Devido a não linearidade do problema e ao interesse de se realizar uma rigorosa análise de incertezas, um algoritmo baseado em simulações de Monte Carlo (um caso especial do algoritmo de Metropolis- Hastings) é utilizado para realizar a inversão. Exemplos de aplicação da metodologia proposta são simulados em reservatórios criados sinteticamente. Através dos exemplos, demonstra-se que o sucesso da previsão de pressão de poros depende da combinação de diferentes fatores, como o grau de conhecimento prévio sobre os parâmetros de rocha e fluido, a sensibilidade da rocha perante a variação de pressões diferenciais e a qualidade dos atributos sísmicos. Visto que os métodos existentes para previsão de pressão de poros utilizam somente o atributo V(p) , a contribuição do atributo V(s) na previsão é avaliada. Em um cenário de rochas pouco consolidadas (ou em areias), demonstra-se que o atributo V(s) pode contribuir significativamente na previsão, mesmo apresentando grandes incertezas associadas. Já para um cenário de rochas consolidadas, demonstra-se que as incertezas associadas às pressões previstas são maiores, e que a contribuição do atributo V(s) na previsão não é tão significativa quanto nos casos de rochas pouco consolidadas.
This work proposes a method for pore pressure prediction in reservoir rocks through compressional- and shear-velocity data (seismic attributes). In the method, the attributes are considered observations of a physic system, which behavior depends on a several not-observable parameters, where the pore pressure is only one of these parameters. To estimate the pore pressure, a Bayesian inversion approach is adopted. Through the use of a likelihood function, settled through a calibrated rock physics model, and through the Bayes theorem, the a priori information about the not-observable parameters (fluid and rock parameters and stress state) is combined with the seismic attributes, inferring probabilistically the pore pressure. Due the non-linearity of the problem, and due the uncertainties analysis demanding, an algorithm based on Monte Carlo simulations (a special case of the Metropolis- Hastings algorithm) is used to solve the inverse problem. The application of the proposed method is simulated through some synthetic examples. It is shown that a successfully pore pressure prediction in reservoir rocks depends on a set of factors, as how sensitive are the rock velocities to pore pressure changes, the a priori information about rock and fluid parameters and the uncertainties associates to the seismic attributes. Since the current methods for pore pressure prediction use exclusively the attribute compressional velocity V(p), the contribution of the attribute shear velocity V(s) on prediction is evaluated. In a poorly consolidated rock scenario (or in sands), the V(s) data, even with great uncertainties associated, can significantly contribute to a better pore pressure prediction. In a consolidated rock scenario, the uncertainties associated to pore pressure estimates are higher, and the s V data does not contribute to pore pressure prediction as it contributes in a poorly consolidated rock scenario.

Testo completoThe Bredasdorp basin is situated off the south coast of the Republic of South Africa, southeast of Cape Town and west-south-west of Port Elizabeth. It covers approximately 18,000 sq. km beneath the Indian Ocean along the southern coast of South Africa, which is in the southwest of Mosselbay. Bredasdorp basin contains South Africa’s only oil and gas production facilities and has been the main focus for oil and gas exploration in South Africa. It is one of the largest hydrocarbon producing block in South Africa, rich in gas and oil prone marine source rocks of kimmeridgian to berriasian age. The wells of interest for this study are located within block 9 which is made up of 13 wells but for this study the focus is only on 3 wells, which are well F-01,F-02 and F-03. The goal of this study is to predict as accurately as possible the areas within and around the sandstone reservoir intervals of these wells with abnormal pressure, using well logs and production test data. Abnormal pore pressure which is a major problem for drillers in the oil industry can cause serious drilling incidents and increase greatly drilling non-production time if the abnormal pressures are not predicted accurately before and while drilling. Petrophysics log analysis was done to evaluate the reservoirs. The intervals of the reservoir are the area of interest.Pore pressure gradient, fracture gradient, pore pressure and fracture pressure model were run. Pressures of about 6078.8psi were predicted around the zone of interest in well F-01, 7861 psi for well F-02 and 8330psi for well F-03. Well F-03 was the most pressured of the three wells. Abnormal pressures were identified mostly at zones above and below the area of interest and predicted pressure values were compared to actual pressure values to check for accuracy.

Testo completoUnder 2009-2016 mättes porvattentrycket i en siltslänt i Sollefteå. Resultaten från 2009-2012presenterades och utvärderades i en publikation av Westerberg et al. (2014) och detta examensarbete är en förlängning av det projektet.I en siltslänt är porvattentrycket vanligtvis negativt vilket bidrar till stabiliteten i slänten. I den härrapporten är variationerna av porvattentrycket analyserade med hjälp av enkel statistik och en koppling mellan variationerna och geologin samt parametrar så som temperatur, nederbörd och fukthalt i marken diskuteras.Jordarterna i slänten vid Nipuddsvägen består av sandig silt, silt, lerig silt och siltig lera. Slutsatsen var att på 2, 4 och 6 m djup ökade och minskade porvattentrycket med årstiderna, till exempel ökade porvattentrycket signifikant vid tjällossningen. När årstiderna skiftar ändras även temperaturen och mängden, och typen, av nederbörd. Andra faktorer som varierar över året är netto-instrålningen, vindhastigheten och den relativa fuktigheten och dessa faktorer påverkar i sin tur evapotranspirationen. På större djup beror antagligen portrycksvariationerna på någon eller några faktorer som skiljer sig åt från år till år, möjligtvis den totala mängden nederbörd. Därmed skulle den ökade nederbörd som förväntas i Skandinavien på grund av klimatförändringarna kunna påverka släntstabiliteten.Vad nederbörd, temeperatur och evapotranspiration har gemensamt är att de påverkar mängden vatten som infiltrerar marken, det vill säga de påverkar markens fukthalt. Hur vattnet är födelat i marken beror på de olika jordarterna och deras inbördes ordning i slänten, men också av faktorer som påverkar markens struktur så som aggregation och uppluckring av jorden på grund av marklevande djurs aktivitet. Även formationen av tjäle på vintern har troligtvis en viss inverkan på hur vattnet i marken omfördelas.På 14 m djup finns ett vattenmättat lager med positiva porvattentryck vilket skulle kunna vara ett av flera sådana lager. I en siltslänt är grundvattensituationen mycket komplex, flera magasin av vatten kan bildas. För att få en bra bild av grundvattensituationen (och där med också porvattentrycksvariationerna)behöver noggranna hydrologiska undersökningar genomföras.

Testo completoLeaks in water distribution mains are a major issue throughout the world. The amount of water lost through these leaks is unacceptable for a resource, which is becoming ever scarcer. Little is known about the fundamentals, which exist outside leaking water distribution mains. The se fundamentals are the interaction between the leaking water and the soil surrounding the distribution main. This interaction is known as the leak - soil interaction. Research has found that a phenomenon called internal fluidisation typically occurs in the soils outside of leaks in distribution mains. Internal fluidisation is a complex interaction between the leak and the surrounding soil, whereby the soil losses its intermolecular bonding and becomes displaced by the water jet generated by the leak. It is believed that this complex phenomenon causes large energy losses. Subsequently, many water leaks are not able to propagate to the ground surface where they will be visible. This leads to many such leaks being undetected below the ground surface. The objective of this study was to develop an experimental setup, which simulated the internal fluidisation phenomenon. The setup consisted primarily of an orifice, simulating a leak in a distribution pipe; surrounded by ballotini (glass beads), as the soil medium surrounding the pipe; and the measurement instruments, which were Pitot tubes. When using the experimental setup, pore pressures and dynamic pressures around the leak and therefore within the ballotini bed were measured using two Pitot tubes. The accuracy and repeatability of these measurements were also of importance and were investigated. The accuracy of the measurements were dependant on the precision of the Pitot tubes in taking measurements. They were found to have an error of up to 4.1 %, although the experiment to test for the accuracy was not fool proof. The repeatability of the measurements was found to have a 3.8 % average difference between the previous and repeated measurements. The measuring of the pore pressures and dynamic pressures resulted in the following findings, which were the most important in the study: There were large vertical velocities found in the fluidized zone, where outside of this zone they were significantly smaller. The largest pore pressure was found to occur near the top of the fluidised zone. The pore pressures in the bed from a certain distance away from the orifice had a linear distribution, illustrating that Darcy water flow was present. High energy existed in the fluidised zone where it was greatest nearest the orifice and decreased to the top of the fluidised zone. In the ballotini bed outside of the fluidised zone the energy was found to be considerably smaller and decreased further away from the orifice.

Nos últimos 45 anos foram publicados muitos artigos referentes à previsão da pressão de poros em folhelhos, como resultado da necessidade de otimizar o processo construtivo de poços de petróleo. Neste trabalho se apresenta um panorama dos métodos de previsão de pressão de poros existentes, com suas vantagens e desvantagens, com seus pontos fortes e suas críticas, com seus acertos e não acertos; procurando explicar os motivos das diferenças entre o previsto e o real. Em geral são descritos 12 métodos de previsão de pressão de poros, além do conceito do Centróide, 3 técnicas para detectar descarga de tensões efetivas numa formação rochosa, e uma descrição do uso da sísmica na previsão da pressão de poros. Foram aplicados os métodos de Eaton (1975) e Bowers (1995) com o objetivo de fazer uma discussão sobre as incertezas presentes nos parâmetros de cada modelo, complementado o estudo com uma análise de sensibilidade. Como resultado das incertezas existentes se aplicou uma análise probabilística baseada na simulação de Monte Carlo e usando o método de Eaton, com o objetivo de apresentar resultados dentro de intervalos de confiança e permitir planos de contingência durante o projeto de construção do poço. Finalmente são avaliados os resultados de uma análise 3D de previsão de pressão de poros utilizando o modelo de Eaton e o Trend de Bowers. Os cubos de dados foram obtidos por interpolação espacial ponderada partindo de registros de poços. Os resultados mostram que este tipo de análise pode ser usado com fins qualitativos, obtendo cubos de gradientes de pressão de poros aonde se observam as zonas de maior e menor risco.
In the last 45 years were published many articles referring to shale pore pressure prediction, due to the necessity of optimizing the constructive process of petroleum wells. In this work shows up a view of the pore pressure prediction methods with its advantages and disadvantages, with its strong points and its critics, with its hits and failures, trying to explain the causes of the differences between the predicted values and the real ones. As result of the bibliographical revision, we obtained a historical of the pore pressure prediction, furthermore gathering the principal mechanisms of generation of pore pressures and mechanisms of lateral variation of the same. Also, were described 12 methods of pore pressure prediction, the Centroid concept, 3 techniques to detect unloading of effective tensions in a rock formation, and a description of the use of the seismic in the pore pressure prediction. The Eaton (1975) and the Bowers (1995) methods were applied with the objective to discuss the uncertainties in the parameters of each model, this was complemented with sensibility analysis. As result of the existent uncertainties, we applied a probabilistic analyze, based on the Monte Carlo simulation and using the Eaton´s method, with the aim to present results within confidence intervals and to allow contingency plans during the well construction project. Finally, the results of a 3D pore pressure prediction using the Eaton model and the Bowers Trend, were assessed. The data cubes were obtained by weighted space interpolation using well logs at the same basin. We concluded that the results from this type of analysis can be used such as qualitative purposes, obtaining pore pressure gradients cubes, where can be observed bigger and lesser risk zones.
