Summary: | A method is disclosed for determining true formation pressure in formations surrounding a fluid-containing borehole having a mudcake on the surface thereof, including the following steps: with the pressure in the borehole at a first measured borehole pressure, measuring, as a first probe pressure, the pressure in the formation adjacent the mudcake; with the pressure in the borehole at a second measured borehole pressure, measuring, as a second probe pressure, the pressure in the formation adjacent the mudcake; and deriving the true formation pressure from the first and second measured borehole pressures and the first and second probe pressures. |
