FORMATION PRESSURE HOMEWORK

1. Based on Modified D-exponent data from a well on the U.S Gulf Coast on the attachement,
determine:
a. Plot Modified D-exponent in logarithmic scale
b. Draw the trendline of normal pressure gradient
c. The end of normal pressure zone
d. The pore pressure (psi) in depth of interest (based on your NIM). Overburden gradient can
be determined using Eaton’s Overburden Graph and normal pore pressure for U.S Gulf
Coast is 0.465 psi/ft.

Show your step by step procedure and calculation process (write the equation also)!

Example:

2. Explain using Bahasa Indonesia and pictures (you can take pictures from internet or textbook,
state the refference) 3 causes of overpressure zone!

3. Please determine the the formation fracture pressure using Eaton’s Overburden Gradient and
Poisson Ratio graph (based on data from Gulf Coast).
Depth: XY,Z00 ft
Formation pore pressure gradient: 0.6Z psi/ft

XYZ = 3 the last digit of your NIM

 Example:

 NIM: 101316006 , Depth: 600 ft, Pore pressure gradient: 0.66 psi/ft
 NIM: 101317118, Depth: 11,800 ft, Pore pressure gradient: 0.68 psi/ft

Show your step by step process of calculation.

Example:

4. Based on LOT data on the attachment that,

a. Determine the leak off surface pressure (determine this using LOT graphic)
b. Detrermine the maximum Mud Density that can be used if the LOT was conducted at 1X,YZ0
ft using 13.YZ ppg of mud

Show your step by step procedure and calculation process (write the equation also)!
