Regional Pressure Studies

Specialist analysis and interpretation of pore pressure data is a vital component in the drilling, exploration, development and production stages of the hydrocarbon industry. Ikon GeoPressure provides critical data input for well design, risk analysis, reservoir connectivity, quality and migration pathways, trap integrity, reserves estimation and basin modelling.

Our studies of subsurface pore pressure cover hydrocarbon fields around the world, and we provide expert interpretation of the regional pressure data for insight into pressure compartments, seal integrity and breaching and reservoir fluid flow. When you know the big picture, the local data is so much easier to interpret.

Ikon GeoPressure is the world leader in regional pressure studies. Our studies cover high pressure regions worldwide and, for many exploration companies, have become an essential component of well-planning.

2007
The Mid-Norway Pressure Study provides key data on the timing of pressure development and influence on hydrocarbon trapping.

2007
The North Sea Central Graben Salinity Database widely expands the available data of water salination. Of specific value to petrophysicists.

2010
The Lower Tertiary Wilcox Study provides key information on the costs of drilling dry holes in the Wilcox. Key information for sub-salt pressure prediction.

2004
Phase 1 of the North Sea Central Graben Pressure Study focusses on deep HPHT drilling and mapping pressure compartments.

2009
The North Sea Viking Graben Pressure Study covers major mature hydrocarbon provinces, looking at new shallow and deep drilling opportunities.

2011
The West of Shetland Pressure Study is a fresh regional pressure study, integrating data from 223 wells, including an updated assessment of exhumation in the region.

2011
Phase 2 of the North Sea Central Graben Pressure Study enhances Phase 1 by integrating full 3D seismic coverage.

2011
Niger Delta Pressure Study Phase 1 provides data which can lead to improvements in safety, and it identifies new exploration opportunities in deep water Niger Delta.

2011
The Barents Sea Pressure Study will enable you to fully evaluate the drilling risks in the Barents Sea area.
