Question

The shale interval transit time data taken from a sonic log in a well is shown in the following
Figure. Using the appropriate correlation, estimate abnormal formation pressure at a depth of
8200 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;
with o = 0.27 and K = 0.000089 ft-1.

t shn = 84 + 364o e − KD − 204o2e −2 KD
