This one-day course is designed for all but experienced predictors; the focus being on understanding where and why pressure prediction works well in certain areas and how to recognise where this is not the case. There will be exercises based on classic pressured areas for the attendees to work on; no particular familiarity with the subject is needed.
Who Should Attend
Geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists and engineers who are interested in pressures or who need to know about pressures for their business. The level of background experience in the area is not as important as a solid grounding in oilfield procedures (components of a well; elements of the petroleum system; basic petroleum geology).
About Dr Richard Swarbrick
Richard obtained his PhD in Geology from Cambridge University in 1979 and currently holds an academic position at Durham University in England, where he founded GeoPOP (Geosciences Project into Over Pressure) group, which is funded by industry to research overpressure in sedimentary basins. Richard spent 10 years with Mobil in Europe and North America and is currently Managing Director of GeoPressure Technology, UK. He consults widely and continues to present conference papers and publish articles relating to sub-surface pressure.

This one-day course provides an introduction to the fundamentals of petroleum geomechanics with particular emphasis on how present-day stress information is applied to exploration and production issues. The course will first examine present-day stresses and their role in rock failure, including stress and strain, controls on stress in sedimentary basins and the determination of stress orientations and magnitudes. The course will then examine petroleum geomechanics applications including wellbore stability, fluid flow in fractured reservoirs, risking seal breach due to fault reactivation, hydraulic fracturing and constraining neotectonics.
Who Should Attend
This course is structured towards all petroleum industry professionals working on exploration and production issues and thus is suitable for geologists, geophysicists and petroleum engineers. This course is particularly targeted at those working on well design, structural history analysis, seal breach, fracture gradient prediction and naturally fractured reservoirs.
About Mark Tingay
Mark Tingay is currently a senior lecturer at the Australian School of Petroleum in Adelaide where he examines the petroleum geomechanics, overpressures and the tectonic evolution of sedimentary basins in SE Asia. In particular, he specialises in studying the mechanics of rock failure and fluid mobilisation in zones of very high pore pressure, including oil field blowouts and natural features, such as mud volcanoes, shale dykes and shale diapirs. Mark Tingay graduated with a PhD in geophysics from the Australian School of Petroleum in 2003. He has published over 40 papers, consulted on numerous petroleum geomechanics projects in SE Asia, taught several industry short courses on petroleum geomechanics and tectonics and routinely provides media interviews on geoscience and petroleum industry issues.
