Case Study
Pressure Estimation in a Structurally Complex Regime
www.pdgm.com The Challenge Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), the Mexican national oil company, wanted to study pore pressure distribution in the Macuspana basin to better understand its pressure regime and explain the pressure compartmentalization they had observed from drilling. PEMEX also wanted to reduce risks from geo-hazards while drilling, as well as better optimize field development. The Assessment Previous geological studies confirmed
