  • Systems and methods for estimating pore pressure at source rocks
    Patent number: 11692439
    Abstract: Systems and methods to estimate a pore pressure of source rock include a pore pressure estimation processor, an executable, or both, and are operable to (i) calculate an estimate pore pressure based on overburden gradient data, a compaction velocity profile, hydrocarbon maturity, and an unloading velocity profile, (ii) determine a total organic content (TOC) estimate of the source rock based on a bulk density at a vertical depth measured using the density logging tool, (iii) determine a correction factor based on (a) the TOC estimate and (b) vitrinite ratio Ro data, and (iv) update the estimated pore pressure in real-time based on the correction factor.
