Here is how to calculate pore pressure from logs

Journal Article · · Oil Gas J.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6426809
Formation pore pressures are calculated by the ratio method (ratio of normal to abnormal resistivity). Overlays are presented to simplify the calculation process. A flow chart is used to show the thought-train used in interpreting the resistivity and conductivity logs. Corrections for Ca/sup 2 +/ freshwater, and excessive mud weight are discussed. Calculation of salinity from SP is discussed. 11 figures. (DLC)
