00:03 So we're going to go back to exercise 6.8 and I'm in this

00:12 I'm asking you to explain that the decreased the shear wave velocity decreased when

00:22 added kerosene to the rock. And gonna say just get estimate the density

00:31 Kerosene is .8 g per centimeter. our hypothesis is that adding fluid lowered

00:41 velocity. So to test that we're going to calculate if we can

00:52 the density in the rock, can lose the the density of the

00:57 Can we reduce the velocity that So that's the problem. And since

01:05 changes pretty consistent through most of I'm going to go up to the

01:12 end here and I'm gonna start, need to know the the porosity of

01:21 rock. So I'm gonna start with wave velocity of the brine, saturated

01:31 , which gives me 11,600 ft per approximately. And then I'm going to

01:38 a velocity porosity transform and to be , I don't recall which one I

01:44 in this case, it might have been uh the gardener relation for sand

01:50 um doesn't matter. This is just illustrate the point. And so I

01:57 a density. So it is the relation. I go from velocity to

02:04 and then assuming it's pure courts, go from density to porosity. So

02:13 that's pretty straightforward. Now what I to know to calculate the change of

02:21 wave velocity. I need to know sheer modular and I need to know

02:26 density dry. And I need to to the density dry to the density

02:36 it's fully carriage and saturated. And do that I'm gonna use the mass

02:43 equation but I need the sheer modulates where do I get that from?

02:48 it's I have V. S. the brine saturated rock here I have

02:57 I could just say roe V. squared. So I have density.

03:02 brine saturated rock, I have roe . S squared. And that would

03:08 me you know of course I have convert BS2 km/s. And so I

03:16 V. S. Which was 6400 30 to 81 ft per second.

03:22 gives me B. S. And per second. I multiply square that

03:28 by density. That gives me the modulates. Excuse me then, given

03:36 ferocity I could calculate the density of dry rock is just one minus ferocity

03:43 the grain density. Which if we're courts it's 2.65. And then I

03:50 calculate the density uh saturated with Karajan the mass balance equation. Okay,

04:01 now I've got the density of the in saturated rock. I've got the

04:06 module asse. So I could take module is divided by density, take

04:12 square root And calculate the shear wave of the dry rock. I get

04:18 40 for and that's compared to the which was about 60 800. Um

04:28 I'm sorry for the kerosene, saturated was 64 55 the measurement was

04:35 So we're pretty close. Okay, that's the process. I walked you

04:40 it fast, but now I'm gonna you reproduce that process. But instead

04:49 using the gardener relationship here, I to get this a little bit

04:54 So I'm gonna guess, say the is 15%. So with a 15%

05:02 . Then go through this process uh and walk me through it as

05:10 doing it. Show me the steps taking. So uh since you have

05:16 on your ipad then I'll allow you share your spreadsheet as we walked through

05:22 process. So go ahead and do . I'm gonna stop sharing.

05:35 We talked about these and here we're at the effects of poor fluids on

05:45 p wave velocity and these are in rocks as a function of pressure.

05:52 here we have a low porosity And for p wave velocity fully saturated

06:00 the highest oil has a smaller bulk , so its velocity is lower,

06:07 air has the lowest bulk modulates so velocity is lower. And you notice

06:14 we increase pressure uh the bulk, sorry, this is bulk module

06:19 Okay, so anyway, you get . So the bulk module asses increasing

06:26 pressure as we're compacting the rock, it stronger. But notice it never

06:32 off. That suggests that we have wide range of aspect ratios here in

06:39 font and blow sandstone. You notice was a precipitous increase in first and

06:45 it levels off. So here we cracks that are closing here we have

06:52 variety of shaped pores and as we pressure we still haven't closed all of

07:00 . So that kind of explains the in these two behaviors. Now.

07:06 the other hand, when I go velocity I find that oil and dry

07:12 pretty similar, right? Whereas the modulates was different um when I go

07:19 velocity, we're pretty much the So I need a hypothesis to explain

07:27 in this case. I mean pressure's . So I feel like the answer

07:53 compaction but I'm not. No. Well the question is if there's such

07:59 big difference in dry modular from why are they why is the velocity

08:08 the same? Mm. I don't the answer but I need a hypothesized

08:17 . Doesn't have to be right. worries there. Um Let's see.

08:27 , their clothes because so many questions unleash. So think about the equation

08:43 p wave velocity and think about the that could be changing could be different

08:50 oil and air. We know that has a higher bulk modules. So

08:58 suggests the velocity should be higher than air case. But something else is

09:05 as well that's canceling out that bulk effect. What else could be

09:11 There are only two other things that be changing. It could The equation

09:18 p wave velocity, square root of plus four thirds mu over rho if

09:24 is increasing from the from the dry , what else could be decreasing to

09:35 that effect? The densities? the density could be increasing enough to

09:43 that effect. Right. So maybe density and the bulk modules are increasing

09:49 the same amount, thereby canceling the . The other thing that could be

09:57 is the sheer modulates of the rock be different when oil saturated versus

10:05 But that is a little bit Right, so the suggestion here is

10:10 the density effect is canceling out the asse effect with me there.

10:19 But then when we go to p impedance, oil is again higher impedance

10:24 dry. Uh even though their velocities the same. So how can the

10:32 be the same? But the impedance greater for oil versus dry. How

10:37 that possible? Um Well, because , doesn't oil hmm. Well,

10:55 a big higher resistance, doesn't Well, I think you mean viscosity

11:01 also. Well, yeah, but about the equation for impedance, what

11:07 give you the impedance, What is equal to? Um It's able to

11:24 is it? It's a I can't right now but I know, do

11:39 remember the equation for reflection coefficient Right, this second. Alright,

11:54 impedance is velocity times density. That's you may have seen the reflection coefficient

12:02 , wrote two V two minus row V one. I mean no one

12:05 one over rho two V two plus one V. One. It's the

12:11 in impedance divided by the sum of impedance is is the reflection coefficient

12:17 So here p wave impedance is velocity density. Well oil and dry have

12:26 velocity and yet oil has higher What does that mean about the oil

12:33 sand versus the air saturated sand? have the same velocity. What must

12:39 different for the impedance for the oil to be higher? Yeah. And

12:46 already said that that's probably why they the same velocity because oil is more

12:52 than air. Okay. Um Yeah it this is a strange situation on

13:01 right because in this case water is dense than oil but its velocity is

13:18 . Here we have the dry the velocity is higher than the water

13:25 rock which is higher than the oil rock. Any ideas here? Any

13:33 to explain this? So, is possible that oil lower the share modules

13:51 could be happening? This is from coz corn oats. Uh course

14:00 And he says the density effect explains but I'm not sure it does.

14:07 mean what he's saying is if the increases more than the module asse you

14:12 actually decrease the velocity and that might if you had very circular pores.

14:21 circular pores are not very compressible and porosity is pretty high. So uh

14:30 you see, so he's suggesting that change in density is more than the

14:36 in the modular. I have a time with that. I think it

14:41 has to do with um uh somehow the sheer modulates of the rock because

14:49 systematics in this case aren't quite Water is more dense than oil and

14:56 oil is lower velocity than water. ? So you see in bulk module

15:03 water, oil dry. The density for water must be bigger than the

15:12 effect for oil. So it's a a little bit odd what's happening

15:18 But of course, you know, they have more information. Oh by

15:23 way, there was the answer, is density times velocity. It was

15:28 there. Um So um anyway, rare for the density effect to dominate

15:36 p wave velocity, but the density usually dominates on shear wave velocity.

15:48 , so remember I said yesterday that affects the fluids and not so much

15:57 solid material. Well especially the it could affect the organic matter,

16:03 not so much the minerals. So we have a rock and measuring the

16:12 as pressure is changing and his temperature changing. I'm sorry, his temperature

16:21 changing this way. So the velocity decreasing with increasing temperature and yet the

16:30 is decreasing with increasing pressure. So don't tell you what pressure this

16:38 So could you tell me, can guess is this effective pressure? Is

16:42 confining pressure? Is it poor What kind of pressure is this that

16:49 I increase it I reduce the velocity pressure. Well if I increase confining

16:58 then the velocity goes up right? I hold poor pressure constant and I

17:04 the confining pressure velocity goes up because differential pressure goes up. So which

17:13 would I have to increase to reduce differential pressure? Yes. So they

17:22 tell you what kind of pressure this . But this is the poor

17:26 And so they increase the poor The velocities go down. Now if

17:32 velocities go down as I increase which bulk module asses changing? Is

17:41 the bulk modulates of the solid grains the bulk modulates of the fluid?

17:47 it's got to be the bulk modulates the fluid as the temperature goes

17:52 the fluid wants to expand. So going to uh if it expands then

18:00 becomes more compressible. Right? The are further apart from each other.

18:06 it's easier to compress them. So I increase the temperature, the bulk

18:11 of the fluid is dropping. So typically what you find is that as

18:21 increases this is a water saturated rock the velocity decreases. So here we

18:29 higher differential pressure here we have lower pressure and even lower differential pressure.

18:38 the velocities decrease at the smaller differential . And as temperature increases, the

18:47 decreases shear wave velocity. On the hand, here, the velocities are

18:56 constant. Now he's fit a line , but I would argue that this

19:02 is dominated by that point and I say that within the experimental error,

19:10 am willing to say that that is . And I'm also willing to say

19:15 that is relatively constant. So the here is that as I increase the

19:24 , I'm not supposed to if I'm changing the fluid module, asse,

19:28 not supposed to change the shear wave . But as the fluid expands at

19:34 temperature, the density, it becomes dense so the density goes down.

19:41 actually the velocity should increase with So, I'm not sure I accept

19:49 results where he shows velocity decreasing with temperature. There may be other things

19:57 on as the fluid expands, maybe up cracks that were otherwise closed,

20:05 the velocity to decrease Anyway, I see any compelling argument or data to

20:13 me that the shear wave velocities are here with increasing temperature. Now,

20:24 course, as I get to very temperature, I can freeze the water

20:30 the pore space. And when that the water becomes solid, it develops

20:36 . And so the p wave velocity way up, shear wave velocity goes

20:45 even more. This is a huge on the north slope of Alaska because

20:52 the near surface you have permafrost that frozen all year round. But in

21:01 summer it starts to melt. So could have dramatic changes in velocity and

21:10 , you know, as I'm moving in someone case, I may be

21:15 frozen in another case where the sun to be concentrated, I may be

21:21 melted. And so there are dramatic variations. Also when that permit for

21:28 starts to melt any heavy equipment on would sink into it. And so

21:36 seismic acquisition season in uh, on north slope of Alaska is only

21:46 when everything is frozen, the temperatures to be close enough to be

21:51 This way, the equipment can move over the ground and you don't have

21:59 variations. You don't have big changes near surface velocities. Okay,

22:11 um, later on in the we'll talk about how we calculate the

22:18 of fluids on the rock. What did today was just considering the density

22:24 , but we want to be able calculate how the bulk modulates of the

22:29 changes with the fluid. So, , hill fred Hiltermann, uh paints

22:37 or draws rocks looking more like swiss , right with big holes, These

22:43 the pore spaces. So you have material around the holes. This is

22:48 little bit unrealistic rock but it it the different materials that will be

22:58 So we have the pores and that's to say porosity there. So we

23:04 the porosity of the rock. That's be important. Now as I try

23:09 compress this rock, so I'm going a larger cube to a smaller

23:14 Remember if it's volumetric compression? The stays the same. So I have

23:20 bulk modulation of the whole rock but also have the bulk modular of the

23:28 . So I have the bulk modulates the fluid. And we saw how

23:32 can affect the velocity of the meaning it affects the bulk modules of

23:37 rock. We also have the bulk of the solid material. Now what

23:45 going to compress as I'm compressing the , it's going to compress the solid

23:50 , it's going to compress the fluid it's gonna compress the entire rock

23:56 Right? That rock frame could be strong or it could be very compressible

24:03 on the shape of the pores So I need to know the bulk

24:08 of the rock frame not with with help from the fluid. So they

24:13 call that K. Dry. Uh the effect of the fluid out.

24:20 We'll talk about if that really is dry or it's something else. But

24:26 just terminology. We call it the module asse of the dry frame or

24:31 dry skeleton without the fluids in we have the bulk modulates of the

24:38 and we have the bulk modulates of solid material. So the frame will

24:43 , the fluid will compress and the material will compress. So to calculate

24:49 bulk modulates of the saturated rock, need to know all of those bulk

24:54 I and uh we'll go through the later in the class. But I

25:05 then calculate if I have those if I know the ferocity, I

25:09 the bulk modules of the frame, know the bulk modulates of the fluid

25:15 . And I know the bulk module of the solid material. And of

25:20 I I have to know the densities all of these. Then I could

25:25 the change in velocity as I changed water saturation. So here I'm 100%

25:35 here, I'm 100% water. As add gas to fully water, saturated

25:43 , the bulk modulates of the rock dramatically and the density increases a little

25:49 , so the shear wave velocity goes because of the density increase. But

25:55 p wave velocity goes down because of bulk module is decrease. So a

26:01 bit of gas goes a long way drops, the velocity a great

26:05 And this is according to Woods equation the bulk modulates of the fluid drops

26:13 . Remember the wood equation, or Royce bound is dominated by the smallest

26:20 . And bulk modulates of gas is small, so it will dominate.

26:27 after I've added just a little bit gas, I've already dropped the bulk

26:32 of the fluid so much, it change anymore. And then the only

26:37 that happens is the density changes and the velocity rebounds a little bit.

26:44 , if this is a very porous with very spherical pores, those pores

26:49 so strong that the drop in velocity to the gas may not be much

26:55 the density effect may be so large in fact theoretically the dry rock can

27:02 a higher velocity than the water saturated . Okay, so we'll go through

27:12 equations later in the course. But now we'll look at a simple empirical

27:19 between the velocity of the brine sand the velocity of the gas sand.

27:24 that's the solid line here. The line is if they were equal,

27:29 solid line is showing that when I low velocity rocks, the rock frames

27:38 very compressible. So changing the fluid a big effect. I have a

27:45 difference in velocity. The gas sand is much lower than the brine sand

27:51 . If our if our on the line here, they would be equal

27:55 , the gas and velocity is much than the brine sand velocity. So

28:01 bride same velocity is a good indication how big the gas effect is gonna

28:08 . And so here but below, know, 12,000 or so feet per

28:12 , the gas effect is relatively But as I increase my p wave

28:17 , the gas effect gets smaller until get extremely high here. And this

28:23 be explained by the porosity czar very . But the, you know,

28:27 velocities are high as a result, you have a lot of micro

28:32 So the fluid effect is large because microfractures are very compressible, but the

28:40 change in velocity is even smaller. ? You know, because if I'm

28:46 at the percent change from brian to , these velocities are high. So

28:51 difference is a small percentage whereas here same difference would be a much larger

28:58 of the velocity. So the moral the story is young, shallow porous

29:05 that have low p wave velocities then a big gas effect and hard rocks

29:11 a small gas effect. So this us to the issue of direct hydrocarbon

29:25 . If gas drops the velocities, will also drop the impedance. Right

29:32 will drop the density and will drop velocity of the rock. So if

29:37 have an impedance of shell which is square here, relative to the

29:44 If the brine filled rock is low relative to the shell maybe because its

29:50 porous or maybe because the shell is cemented, um I'll have a negative

29:58 coefficient there. And if I add to the brine, or if I

30:03 brine with gas, I lower the more because I lower the velocity,

30:09 lower the density. So here I a more negative reflection coefficient.

30:15 So I have a negative amplitude for , but I have a more negative

30:21 for gas, that's called a bright . And this only happens when you

30:28 a low impedance reservoir when the the field rock and the gas field rock

30:34 low impedance relative to the shell. the other hand, if the p

30:41 and penis of the brine filled rock higher than the shell, you can

30:48 you lower the impedance than you're going a strong positive amplitude for the brian

30:54 to a weaker positive amplitude, both high impedance relative to the shell.

31:00 the gas and reduces the reflection that gives you a dim spot.

31:07 , if that change in uh in is so large or if the sand

31:14 only slightly greater than the shell in for when it's brian saturated, that

31:20 in impedance when you get add gas flip the polarity. So you could

31:26 from a positive reflection coefficient to a one and that's called a polarity

31:34 That polarity reversal can also be a spot. If the effect is real

31:39 . If the gas sand is out , that would give you a bright

31:43 . Or it could be a dim , if the result is near zero

31:48 you add gas. So we like have an expectation of what kind of

31:58 anomalies to expect. And so this where rock physics comes in. So

32:04 go to our well logs and we'll usually find shells and brian sands and

32:11 plot their average velocity versus depths. and density. So the density tends

32:17 increase with depth, the velocity tends increase with depth. If the sands

32:23 lower velocity than the shells and lower , then there will be low impedance

32:31 we'll get bright spots because the gas are even lower velocity and lower

32:39 So usually the brine sand velocities are from the logs and then we do

32:46 substitution. We use gas men's equations predict the change in velocity. So

32:55 though we don't have gas sands at depth, we could calculate what their

32:59 would be. Now things are not this well behaved. Usually they're not

33:08 you don't you're dealing with different stands different depths. So they may have

33:13 a different porosity from the time of . So think of these as average

33:21 velocity densities and velocities versus depth. so what you could do is calculate

33:27 reflection coefficient and you hear here in white is the brian sand reflection

33:35 The black is the gas and reflection . These are negative numbers and uh

33:43 gas sand is more negative than the sand brian sand. So in this

33:47 these are all bright spots. But that the difference between the gas amplitude

33:55 the brine amplitude decreases with depth on average, that difference decreases with depth

34:04 the fluid effect is getting smaller with . As we as the brine sand

34:10 gets higher, the fluid effect, change in velocity gets smaller and as

34:18 porosity is decrease, the change in gets smaller. Okay, so here

34:28 an example of gulf coast uh velocities depth for a brine sand for an

34:40 sand with fluid substitution with a gas with fluid substitution and with a

34:47 So if we ignore the density effect the moment and assume that everything is

34:55 by velocity. Then here the brine is high impedance. The gas sand

35:01 low impedance. So here shallow you a clarity reversal. Uh for

35:10 it would be a dim spot. see that? Okay, here in

35:15 range here everything is negative. So are all bright spots by the

35:22 that polarity reversal is bright as well it's the gas sand is more negative

35:29 the brian sand is positive. then we get this crossover where the

35:35 sand and this is pretty typical as get deeper, the brine sand becomes

35:41 than the shell, the gas sand softer than the shell, lower

35:47 So we have a polarity reversal at point the gas sand equals the shell

35:55 . And again, ignoring the density for the moment. That would suggest

36:00 dim spot in this case. So can see that as a function of

36:07 , we could alternate between bright dim spots, polarity reversals, et

36:15 . Down down deep here it looks we're headed towards the polarity reversal

36:20 but keep in mind, I've ignored density effect. Just just to illustrate

36:25 happening. Um you really have to into account the density to determine.

36:35 know, you need this plot of rather than velocity in order to determine

36:40 you're going to have bright spots, spots or polarity reversals. Now,

36:47 , these curves are averages based on of measurements with fluid substitution.

36:54 So these are just these are not to tell you what a particular individual

37:01 is going to do because there are around the average value. So,

37:09 an example of hissed a grams of sand velocities. Shell shell velocities and

37:18 sand velocities here, the brian sands slightly on the average faster than the

37:24 , but not always a particular This shell is going to be faster

37:30 that. That brian sand. So even though the average might be

37:35 little higher for brian sand, uh not necessarily the case. And here

37:41 the gas sands. And look, have some gas sands that are higher

37:45 than the shells. Some are lower the shells. So you can't judge

37:51 gonna happen just by the mode or mean of these distributions, a particular

37:59 maybe behave differently from the average we've converted the velocities and also done

38:08 same thing for the densities and computed for reflection coefficients. And in this

38:17 uh this is at a particular The brian sand tends to have positive

38:24 coefficients or near zero, and the sands tend to have negative reflection

38:31 but you can see there's overlap on distribution. So a particular gas sand

38:37 have a higher velocity than or it have a higher reflection coefficient than a

38:45 brine sand. So this this is fred Hiltermann and he's plotting velocity for

38:56 velocity for shale versus death. So getting his instagrams versus death. These

39:02 from well, logs, okay, going back to the average values.

39:15 we have an average reflection coefficient for sands here and an average reflection coefficient

39:23 gas sands. So here where the Reflection coefficient for wet sands is zero

39:35 it, the wet sands are So gas sands are going to be

39:41 negative. So you're gonna have bright here, when the brine sand goes

39:48 , the gas sand can still be . So you'll have polarity reversal.

39:52 this is the first crossover. We from bright spots to polarity reversals.

40:00 when the gas and becomes higher impedance the shell at that point we switch

40:06 dim spots. So this is a tendency, you tend to get bright

40:11 shallow polarity reversals, intermediate and dim deep, but as I said,

40:20 that can vary all over the This is just a general tendency.

40:25 seen bright spots very deep and I've dim spots very shallow and I've seen

40:32 bounced back and forth from santa sand , you know, 1000 ft interval

40:37 example, you could go from one the other and back pretty easily.

40:47 if we uh take into account rouse and we calculate whether where this cross

40:57 cross over depth is as a function age here. So this is a

41:03 , this is depth, this is crossover where we have zero reflection coefficient

41:09 the brine sands. Uh If we're that trend, we have positive reflection

41:17 . If we're below that trend we negative reflection coefficients. So that the

41:23 way as as you get deeper, tend to get dim spots as you

41:28 older, you tend to get dim so very young tend to have negative

41:34 as we get older, we would to have positive reflections. Okay,

41:43 it for this section. So uh stop recording uh any questions before I

42:00 . So in the next section is . P. B s ratios and

42:05 gonna go back to our old friend ratio, which has uh Ellen said

42:14 is uh squash divided by was it divided by squash. Um Trying to

42:25 the terminology we used but it's the change in width divided by the fractional

42:33 in length. So squish over Yeah squish over squash. Yeah that

42:42 that should be standard terminology I think good. So um it's the transverse

42:50 divided by the longitudinal strain. And as we propagate waves through Iraq we're

43:00 and squashing. Right? So there a direct relationship between the velocities and

43:07 poison's ratio. And this is the . So it goes to the

43:14 P. V. S. Ratio means it's independent of the density.

43:19 it has to do with the ratio the module I it's really K over

43:23 plus four thirds is V. B. S squared. So there's

43:28 direct relationship between prisons ratio and P. B. S. So

43:35 is the person's ratio When V. . V. S. Is equal

43:38 the square root of two? Right square 22 squared is 22 minus

43:50 gives us zero. So and that's the lower practical limit. Remember we

43:58 that theoretically poison's ratio could be as as minus one. So what the

44:07 ratio would correspond to a song's ratio -1 one. No math I thought

44:20 did hold on Square root of 4 exactly Which is 1.16. So that's

45:21 theoretically lowest V. P. S ratio. We could have

45:29 What's the highest vp uh What's the persons ratio? We could have

45:38 And what is the VPs associated with ? I've been a little trouble with

46:17 math, aren't you? We have p B s squared minus one equals

46:24 P B s squared minus two. . Mhm. Do you see

46:32 So what number would that work Where would you where would you have

46:43 P. B. S squared minus equals V P B s squared minus

46:54 . I mean If the PBS is then -1 or -2 wouldn't matter.

47:02 . So you'd have infinity squared equals squared. So really cousins ratio is

47:12 as V. P. B. approaches infinity. Remember for a fluid

47:18 wave velocity is zero. So that's infinite V. P. B.

47:27 . And poisons ratio .5 corresponds to fluid. So when we make the

47:46 measurement, we have a cylinder. has a original length and original

47:54 And we now put a uni axial on it. We don't constrain it

48:01 . So it's free to squish as squash it. So uh the change

48:10
