The collaboration of Ikon Science and GPT has enabled the integration of pressure and fluid data into the Rock Physics/ Quantitative Interpretation workflow.

Ikon’s rock physics software package RokDoc is a quantitative interpretation tool which has been adopted by more than 35 oil companies worldwide. GPT used its reputation to develop the powerful pressure analysis package, PressureView. GPT also provides consultancy services, training and multi-client reports extending from research and technology developed by the GeoPOP research consortium at Durham University’s Department of Earth Sciences.

The new release of PressureView v4.0 enables the successful storage and utilization of pressure data. Success depends upon organizing, retrieving, displaying and accurately interpreting pressure data quickly and effectively. Other enhancements include the display of multiwell mud profiles as well as single-well profiles plus the ability to group and display pressure readings by quality (good/fair/poor) and pressure type.

The geological implications of pressure data are numerous, from the recognition of regional pressure trends and high-pressure wells to seal breach analysis and hydrodynamically titled contacts. Identifying compartmentalized reservoirs and determining well planning and casing design require the kind of precise handling of pressure available within PressureView v4.0.

The release of PressureView v4.0 represents the first step for Ikon Science toward the provision of an integrated software and services solution for the challenges of well targeting, planning and operations in deep water and high-pressure/high-temperature environments.
