Integrated Pre-drill Pore Pressure, Fracture Gradient and Borehole Stability Predictions for Evans Shoal Field, Australia

Pre-drill pore pressure, fracture gradient, and borehole stability calculations were prepared to assist with the well design and drilling plans for appraisal and development wells in the Evans Shoal field, Bonaparte Basin, offshore Australia. This work required collaboration among multiple disciplines including geophysics, geology, petrophysics, geomechanics, drilling, wells, and reservoir engineering.
