ABSTRACT:
A pore pressure prediction method includes the steps of: (a) designing a normal compaction trend velocity model; (b) testing the normal compaction trend velocity model; (c) designing 3-D spatial adjustment parameters to compensate for water depth; and (d) processing a 3-D velocity field using the interpreted normal compaction trend velocity model and the 3-D spatial adjustment parameters.
