Abstract
Methods for determining an in-situ pore pressure in a formation rock may include acquiring well log data, calculating a cation-exchange capacity, calculating a mole fraction of fixed charges using the cation-exchange capacity, determining a formation temperature, calculating the in-situ pore pressure, outputting the in-situ pore pressure of the formation rock, and using the in-situ pore pressure in a wellbore stability model to monitor and maintain stability of the formation rock. Corresponding electronic devices may include a computer processor coupled to at least one logging tool, wherein the logging tool is configured to acquire well log data in a formation rock. Non-transitory computer storage mediums may include program instructions, that when executed, may be configured to perform the methods for determining an in-situ pore pressure in a formation rock.
