51. Conclusions
An immediate advancement of the RhoVe method is the density log, which is in play as a pore pressure indicator, and
density itself becomes an integral part of the pore pressure workflow.
Temperature provides a more fundamentally accurate representation of rock property relationships tied to compositional
changes, diagenesis and overpressure generation mechanisms than depth-based methods. Additionally, temperature-
based methods (Dutta or other) have an advantage over depth-based methods in that there is a degree of freedom lacking
in depth-based approaches, which emphasize one velocity equals one effective stress. Temperature-based methods offer
a myriad of velocity-effective stress relationships (by temperature), depending on the state of compositional change.
Dutta’s method utilizes Arrhenius Law, First-Order Chemical Rate Theory, Basin Modeling and recommended sample
collection and analysis (fore S/I), which requires high level-of-effort allocation of manpower, cost and resources (taking
months).
In contrast, the RhoVe T temperature-based method is flexible enough to be used in the field at a fraction of cost and
resources allocation. A single run on sonic or density takes about 10 minutes. Although a density log is necessary for the
original RhoVe Method series (where sonic and density converge), it is not required for the temperature-based method,
which uses the same virtual model. The only thing needed for Real-Time (or post well analysis) temperature-based
application for a well of interest is a temperature-depth profile (from raw and corrected BHT from offsets) and sonic (or
density).
