Landmark 1D Pore Pressure Estimation Workflow
1. On the menu bar at the top of the window, click File and then
select Open... from the drop-down list.
Selecting Files
You may also click the logs button and use the wizard to complete the workflow
for calculating EMW.

8. The imported logs display in the bottom right window with the
Depth column automatically mapped. Select each log by clicking
in the corresponding field and number of the curve inputs.
OR
Data Preview
9. After selecting all of the logs, click the Save button to save the
logs to a binary (*.BIL) file and close the window.

10. After you import the logs, they display in a second interface for
calculating pore pressure.
By default, the GR log appears on the left track, with the Acoustic
(DT) on the right track. You can then overlay other logs one at a
time by selecting Analyze Log and then choosing the available log
that you wish to view:
• You can view the caliper log as an overlay on a GR or SP log.

1. On the menu bar at the top of the window, click Analyze Log,
select Pick and Save then choose Pick Just Shales to open the
Presgraf Picks window.
ASCII Files get created with the *.BIL file and saved in the selected folder with
extensions *.rsh, *.dt and *.rho.
You may graphically adjust the shale base line to the left or right to
see Presgraf automatically pick and move the points, but for this
step of the workflow, just use the default shale base position.

3. Save and add the pick data points to the file by clicking the Save
Picks and Page Down button. Please proceed no further until
you have clicked that Save Picks and Page Down button.
4. Once the page moves to the next interval, save the points
continuously until you reach the end of the log. You should then
see the Travel Time Picks versus Depth Picks displayed with a
normal compaction trend line.

Wizards
You may also follow the workflow steps by clicking the logs file and following
the steps given by the wizard.

Default Settings
If the default settings do not match the preceding screen shot, use the drop-down
menus to select the displayed options.
7. On the menu bar at the top of the window, click Analyze DT,
select Advanced Options then choose Step 2: Adjust Trend
Lines to open the Adjust window.
8. Use the arrows to the right of Vcl (shale volume%) = 0.40 and
adjust the trend to 0.33 for the data in the shallow section (the
change affects matrix times velocity). Then, set the Vcl back to
0.40 by clicking the left arrow.
Instead of using the arrow buttons, you may also click and hold down the left
mouse button on the Vcl text and move the mouse left or right to change the
current trend.
Besides the Uplift Basic Adjust option, you may use the Advanced User Option
functions to adjust C and phi0. You will not adjust these elements in this
workflow, however.

10. Repeat the seventh step until you feel satisfied with the changes,
then click the OK button.
Metering Values
By altering the values, you change the attributes of the polynomial to suit the data
in the shallower sections of the log, which should represent normal compaction.
For that reason, we call it the “Normal Compaction Trend.”
Warning
Before proceeding to Calculate Eq Mud Weight, click Analyze DT and then
View as Mud Weight to examine the mud weights. Remember that you cannot
go back and make changes to the Normal Compaction Trend once you begin to
calculate the EMW pore pressure.
11. To calculate the EMW pore pressure, click Analyze DT on the top
menu and choose Step 3: Calculate Eq Mud Weight (pore
pressure) from the list of options.
12. Next, you must calculate the Fracture Gradient, a function of Pore
Pressure as well as the Overburden Pressure Gradient (Presgraf
already calculated the Overburden for you based on the
10 Presgraf

13. On the top menu, click Analyze Psi on the top menu, then choose
Calculate Fracture Gradient to display the Fracture
Measurement Gradient (as well as the Pore Pressure, Fracture
Pressure and Overburden Pressure gradients).
Presgraf 11

15. On the top menu, click Format, then choose Symbols or Legend.
16. Change the pore pressure curve symbol type from Triangle to
Circle, as shown below for the Pg-1logcurves.PP (pg) curve.

1. To import logs from OpenWorks, click File on the menu bar at the
top of the window, select OpenWorks and choose Import Data to
open the OpenWorks Import window.
2. Select the Source Project, Well Lists and Well as shown above.
Column Numbers
You can assign different column numbers by entering them in the field manually.
6. Type 45 in the field between the Wtr Depth and m, and 30 in the
field between Air Gap and m as shown above.
14 Presgraf

7. Name the file and use the Browse button to save the file in your
“working” folder.
8. Click a mark into the Create Ascii File with selected curves box.
ASCII Files
Presgraf saves ASCII Files created with the *.BIL file in the Presgraf installation
folder by name OpenWorksCurves.las.
9. Click the Create BIL button. A red line message in the Presgraf
interface indicates the progress of the binary file data conversion.
Presgraf displays a confirmation message after creating the *.BIL
file, then shows the logs in a second interface when it has them
ready for pore pressure analysis.
Presgraf 15

10. Verify that GR appears in the left track and Acoustic (DT) in the
right track (they should display that way by default).
Overlaying Logs
Overlay the logs one at a time, or add an available Caliper log as an overlay of GR
or SP.
11. Use the Analyze Log menu tool to switch the interpretation
between logs for the calculation of pore pressure.
Acoustic/Acoustic Shear/Resistivity/Density
Use the Acoustic/Acoustic Shear/Resistivity/Density function to interpret the
logs, but keep this order of priority.
