Abstract
Effective decision-making in exploring and developing subsurface resources hinges on accurately estimating geologically plausible and realistic properties. Nevertheless, conventional inverse modeling formulations for property estimation encounter computational challenges arising from high-dimensional problem settings and the substantial geological uncertainty inherent in subsurface estimation problems. Especially for pore pressure forecast, this challenge yields to disregarding the geological processes occurring in the subsurface in the predictions by standardizing the use of empirical models calibrated only on offset wells. This dissertation introduces and investigates methodologies rooted in the Bayesian Geophysical Basin Modeling (BGBM) workflow to assess pore pressure. The aim is to incorporate geological processes into estimations and utilize probabilistic models, facilitating a comprehensive evaluation of pore pressure predictions across exploration and exploitation stages in subsurface resource activities.
