Question

The shale interval transit time data taken from a sonic log in a well in GOM is shown in the
following. Using the appropriate correlation, estimate abnormal formation pressure at a depth of
8400 ft. The average normal formation pressure trend line calculated from the shale interval transit
time data for the area is given by the following mathematical model (Eq.1) with o = 0.251 and K
= 0.000089 ft-1.
