Using Temperature Measurements and “d” Exponent Calculations for the Detection of Undercompacted Shales

  • Chapter
Geological and Mud Logging in Drilling Control

Abstract

In deltaic regions, there is a constant need for better means of detecting the undercompacted shaly formations and associated high-pressure zones. This example illustrates the use of the temperature measurements and “d” exponent calculation to detect undercompacted formations. The cases discussed are from wells drilled in 1973–1974.
