A propos de l'auteur
Peter B. Flemings is a professor and holds the Barrows Centennial Chair with the Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas, Austin. He leads 'UT GeoFluids', a long-running industry-sponsored effort dedicated to developing new concepts and approaches to predict pressure and stress in the subsurface. He served on the US Department of Energy's well integrity team during the Deepwater Horizon blowout, he is a Geological Society of America Fellow, and he was a distinguished lecturer for the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and the International Ocean Drilling Program. He has served as Chief Scientist on numerous scientific drilling expeditions.
Résumé
A concise guide to the origins and prediction of subsurface fluid pressures. It includes numerous case studies to emphasize the interactions with geological processes, and demonstrates applications using laboratory experiments to provide a step-by-step approach to building a pore pressure profile for geoscientists and petroleum engineers.
