In summary, a combination of the 'Swarbrick Method' and an unconformity/loading model can be invoked to explain shale pressures in many basins. This geologically-based model for shale pore pressure has proved to be a successful forwardmodelling approach in well planning in these basins, where the only inputs required are ages of seismic markers and depth of the relevant unconformity to give maximum shale pressures, matching kicks taken in wells such as Montague-1 and Angel-1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
