A 2D geomechanical model of an offshore gas field in the Bredasdorp Basin, South Africa

Abstract This case study involves the unique application of density correction software applied to density data, prior to the estimation of geopressure gradients. The K-R gas field was discovered in 1983 about 50 km west, off the F-A gas field offshore South Africa. During exploration; gas discoveri...
