 Fundamentals of Pore Pressure Analysis
Rex Butler (Senergy)

Pore Pressure is a fundamental input required for the planning on any well or project. We will discover and highlight the fundamentals used in performing such analysis. We will cover the Drilling parameters used to detect abnormal pressure, their analysis, as well as the use of well logs and seismic data to predict abnormal pressure which may be encountered in the overburden.

About the speaker:
 Rex Butler is a Senior Geopressure/Geomechanics Engineer with Senergy in Perth. He has over 30 years in the energy industry focused on the performance of a wide variety of Reservoir Engineering and Geoscience projects. Project areas include Western Australia, Tasmania, Philippines, Malaysia, West Africa and India.  He previously spent 5 years with Knowledge Systems and 25 years with Schlumberger.

Tuesday 14 July
