The petroleum industry must predict pore-pressure profiles accurately, often walking a fine line between pore pressure and fracture gradient as it drills and completes oil and gas wells. The industry ...

A detailed, computer-assisted procedure has been developed for plotting pore pressures from electric logs. This new procedure differs from the traditional procedure in two ways. For atypical 10,000-ft ...

Pore pressure diffusion generated by carbon dioxide injected underground at a carbon storage site in the Illinois Basin is the likely cause of hundreds of microearthquakes that took place at the site ...
