Pore pressure of shale (Flemings)

Input(s)

SvS_{v}: Sonic Velocity (ft/s)(\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s})

βc\beta_{c}: Compressibility (1/psi)(1 / \mathrm{psi})

ϕo\phi_{o}: Initial Porosity (fraction)

t\mathrm{t}: Sonic Travel Time (s)

\emptyset: Porosity from Sonic Log (fraction)

Output(s)

PpP_{p}: Pore Pressure (psi)(\mathrm{psi})

Formula(s)

Pp=Sv((1βc)ln(ϕo))\boldsymbol{P}_{p}=S_{v}-\left(\left(\frac{1}{\boldsymbol{\beta}_{c}}\right) * \ln \left(\frac{\phi_{o}}{\emptyset}\right)\right)
