Pore Pressure Prediction While Drilling
The only way to obtain information, before well drilling, on the nature and characteristics of the subsurface, including the pore pressure prediction, is through geophysical prospecting. The seismic reflection method is the most important and extensively used geophysical method for oil prospecting. Although geophysicists and geologists use seismograms mainly for subsurface structural and lithological interpretation, they have recently become of great interest and help to the drilling engineer.
