Numerous basins in the world involve areas with abnormal pore pressures Estimation and prediction of the pore pressure parameters in such areas are challenging tasks for safe and cost-effective drilling. This project is to calculate unknown Bowers’ parameter for well logging/drilling. Well data such as sonic velocity log and density log will be applied to obtain the pressure. Graphical User Interface (GUI) is developed to analyse/observe the relationship between pore pressure and velocity. Throughout its progression, this project states that it is quite a challenge in finding a few unknown parameters in Bower’s formula. However, via extensive reading and additional knowledge gained, that challenge will be overcome.
