Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2016167841A1] A method and system for drilling a borehole in a subsurface formation, A method includes rotating a drill bit to remove formation material from the subsurface formation at an end of the borehole. A value of mechanical specific energy applied to remove the formation material is calculated. A value of drilling efficiency is calculated for drilling the borehole. Pore pressure of the subsurface formation in contact with the drill bit is calculated as a function of the drilling efficiency and the mechanical specific energy. Real-time operational decisions (such as adjusting density of drilling fluid or determining the final depth of the hole section) are made based on calculated pore pressure of the subsurface formation.
