15 RhoVeTM Method (U.S. patent pending - copyright 2016) Summary Interactive (and fast). Premised on a continuum of virtual, normally pressured synthetic rock property relationships. Pore pressure is calculated by directly applying RhoVe-derived Velocity & Density-Effective Stress trends. Subsalt Applications Two-parameter approach: a-term & alpha (α); includes the effects of compositional changes (clay diagenesis) Rationale for subdivision of major flow units, which can be utilized in layerbased basin modeling simulations.
