00:04 And that's the next exercise. This just this one single page.

00:09 Oh, there's more over here. . People online have it.

00:51 great. Thank you. Yeah. . And and ok, thank you

04:59 should only take a couple of Oh, you're doing it.

05:11 a few days. Ok. So . Yeah, so yeah, I

08:16 right. Thank you. Hm, . Pretty good to me and thank

09:37 . So I canceled it was to I just don't feel good enough.

10:09 . Just kind of. Alright. . Mhm. Ok. Yeah.

18:58 not um that's fine. Top and down. Is that what?

20:00 Um What? Right. Oh except for right now I need to

20:23 use the restroom too much coffee. , take this off. It is

20:50 . Oh yeah. Right. We to get started. Thank you.

21:31 there are there are two ways you saturations, two main ways you get

21:36 in a reservoir. Maybe you're familiar these or not, but the two

21:40 ones are resistivity modeling Archie equation and the other is saturation height modeling back

21:48 use cap pressure curves and build a pressure model. OK. So first

21:54 , we're gonna talk about one because will help us understand resistivity modeling is

22:01 hide modeling like the bullet says, . There are three factors. There's

22:08 space geometry. We've already mentioned this throats, uh physical and the chemical

22:14 of the pore walls and the physical chem chemical properties of the fluids.

22:21 works for initial saturations. It does work for basically after inhibition. Uh

22:28 again, the hysteresis, it gets complicated. So we are just gonna

22:32 about on the what's called the drainage , which I'll explain in more

22:37 We are gonna worry in detail about throats. That's what we're gonna

22:41 That's what controls the entry pressure of pores in the cap curve. Uh

22:46 ability is the physical and chemical Basically how attracted are the fluids for

22:52 pore walls. So you start out we're gonna do water, wet

22:59 And so uh the rock actually likes attracted to the water more than the

23:06 . So there is, you need positive pressure, you have to expend

23:11 to get the oil into the OK. And uh this thing goes

23:17 , I'll, I'll show you where is, but it's actually o you're

23:21 what's called the adhesion tension or the , right? Because uh actually the

23:27 adheres to the surface, you have displace that water with oil and so

23:33 ability and capillarity is what we're gonna about go on. And then we

23:41 talked about mercury versus oil. The surface tension right is much higher.

23:47 it's the relative attraction for the fluid itself versus the attraction for the other

23:53 . OK. That determines the inter tension. There's the introduction for some

24:02 just like we spent most of uh and this morning talking about vocabulary,

24:08 need some vocabulary related to this wet . Uh water wet first definition,

24:14 have means and you should circle put exclamation points around only if it's

24:22 wet, it means it imbibes only simultaneously, right? An example of

24:29 would be like a sponge, If you have a sponge, it

24:34 imbibe water. So it actually the is attracted to the sponge or paper

24:39 is another good one, right? all judge our paper towels based on

24:42 much water and how quickly they will water into them, right? So

24:49 got that. They've underlined, circled common way to lose points, oil

24:55 . So 100% oil wet means that oil is attracted to the surface water

25:02 not. So if you have a that is 100% oil wet, it

25:08 imbibe only oil. I have never seen a rock, a natural rock

25:14 fits that description. You can make artificially so you can treat them with

25:21 basically uh a variety of chemicals, can coat all the quarts that then

25:28 be only oil wet. But I tell you, you get really odd

25:31 when you do that. Uh, example, the A GN value is

25:35 like seven as opposed to typical It's more like two or even less

25:42 get as low as 1.6. So ridiculous. That's because the oil immediately

25:46 sucked into all the pore throats and off all the resistivity. Right.

25:51 so uh you, you don't see oil wet rock. I have not

25:55 it, but you do end up wet is also not very common.

25:59 imbibes nothing. It doesn't vibe oil imide water. There's one example,

26:05 really know Teflon does this, it's oil oil, it isn't attracted to

26:10 , it isn't attracted to water. . So, but you don't find

26:15 Teflon reservoirs actually, it was invented accident even. All right. So

26:21 know it neutrally wet. We'll see how you measure this in a

26:26 right? How you measure the wet ? And then this is the one

26:29 get more confused about is mixed wet fractionally wet. So mixed wet means

26:36 a portion of the grain surface is wet. A portion of the grain

26:41 is water wet. And how does occur? It's basically the crude oil

26:47 actually alter the wet ability from initially water wet, which is a very

26:51 assumption for rocks in the subsurface they formed pretty much in the presence of

26:59 . Yeah. And so they start water wet, then what can happen

27:03 make them mixed wet is you actually actually saturate them with some amount of

27:09 . And if you get a high oil saturation with the right properties,

27:14 the heavy ends, the long hydrocarbon , you can alter that wet

27:20 Basically. What happens is those long chains can actually extend through a thin

27:27 film that you would get at high saturations. And then you could alter

27:32 wet ability on that portion of the . That's why a portion of the

27:37 is oil wet. A portion of grain is water wet. So this

27:41 a lot like why do you wax car? Why do you wax your

27:47 ? Anybody do that anymore to alter wet ability? So your car,

27:56 what you're saying. So what you, you actually you put a

28:01 of wax on it. It is oil wet, right? As opposed

28:06 water wet. So the water beads and runs off, right? Uh

28:12 . Yeah. So often I give example on Titan it rains methane.

28:18 you wax your car there? you would want to make your car

28:23 wet there, right? So is clear? So literally, you are

28:27 the kind of the comparable thing to a car? That's what happens and

28:31 why only a portion of the grain different wet ability gets altered to oil

28:37 as opposed to water wet. So model is about mainly about hydrocarbon uh

28:45 the crude oil properties. And I when in in the Gulf of

28:50 when we looked to predict wet the first thing we looked at was

28:56 crude oil properties. How many heavy were present in it? Because because

29:01 more heavy ends that were present, more likely you were to get a

29:05 , a mixed wet situation. Is clear for everybody? What mixed it

29:10 ? Do I need to draw a ? So I have to ask for

29:13 to get up out of my Now, if I need to

29:18 if I need to draw you a , we can, that's supposed to

29:23 wet. I didn't make up this . It's not my fault. What

29:29 wet means is it's mineralogy based, wet ability. And a common

29:35 people would argue that feldspars may be wet, courts may be water

29:41 probably not true, but I've seen argument made or Professor Hathen may agree

29:48 this. More clays may be oil versus quartz may be water wet.

29:54 it's mineralogy based. OK. So it's all about kind of mineralogy,

30:00 cetera. This uh leads to very predictions for what will happen versus a

30:08 wet versus mixed wet condition. So example, in an unconventional, you

30:14 have intuition. Do you think an would be mixed wet or fractionally

30:26 So, by that, he means shale reservoir. Yeah. Shale

30:32 Would it depend on mythology or would depend on migrating oil into a high

30:38 , altering the wet ability? everybody's first guess is that it would

30:46 fractionally wet, right. That it depend on mineralogy, et cetera.

30:51 that really true? We have some that would suggest it's not, we

30:58 could in our ramen microscope, we watch and we could see that even

31:03 the quartz grains, it looked oil . And one hypothesis was that was

31:11 to the oil moving out and altering as it migrated out of of,

31:17 that uh source rock. So that's a bit under contention. I would

31:23 but you, you get very different , right? Yeah, I'm

31:29 speak up. Would, would you a shale reservoir to be mixed wet

31:37 fractionally wet? So, mixed wet the usual model. People use mixed

31:46 in conventional rocks for sure. It's the usual model people use. So

31:50 about it starts out water wet uh then can get altered depending on crude

31:56 properties. So if you have a light crude, quite likely it's gonna

32:02 up water wet, you don't have hydrocarbon molecules present to alter the wet

32:09 . So when people do laboratory which I can tell you quite a

32:12 is done they'll start with a water rock and they'll put some refined oil

32:17 soul troll or something in it. doing water wet experiments, whether they

32:24 stated or not. And I know lot of work came out of shell

32:27 like that where they actually would saturate a very light artificial oil,

32:36 So you can have some insights, clear, mixed wet versus fractionally wet

32:42 neurally wet, water, wet or wet. So we have the nomenclature

32:48 great and it yeah, obviously could over time. That was what I

32:54 talking about. So how do we it? We ability uh you're just

33:00 about this this morning, right? uh cecil drops. So you actually

33:06 put a drop on a surface. is actually pretty complicated and then you

33:11 at the shape of the droplet on surface, I guess it's called a

33:17 drop experiment. And so what you is you measure, you measure the

33:22 what's called the contact angle, which this data. OK. And so

33:27 this theta greater than 90 degrees means it's non wetting. Remember the mercury

33:34 about makes little round balls and rolls . Mercury does not wet much of

33:40 , right? It really likes itself than almost anything else. So the

33:45 tension is quite high and its contact is uh actually uh is quite

33:54 right? This case, right? we have, right? A wedding

34:00 , the contact angle is less than degrees, right. And so

34:05 you can see it's really adhering to surface, the drop gets pulled

34:10 Yeah. So this force is laying the surface, the surface wants to

34:14 it out, right. And so contact angle would be quite small.

34:20 means it's wetting that surface. Everybody this, what the contact angle is

34:27 what it means, how it's you measure it through the fluid of

34:33 . So in this case, you're , you're measuring it through this or

34:37 fluid. Yeah, you're, you're measuring it through this surface. So

34:43 I want the, if I want wedding condition of this gray fluid,

34:48 ? Again, non wedding wedding, would neutrally wedding look like? What

34:56 the angle would be I need So it would be equally attracted to

35:05 and the fluid surrounding it. This angle. Also there's a competition between

35:12 fluid out here and the fluid interior the drop. So when you talk

35:18 a contact angle, you always have specify all three, you have to

35:23 the surface, quartz belts, clay, whatever you have to specify

35:28 the liquid is, oil, for . Uh and then what the third

35:33 is, air, water, et , whatever it is. That

35:37 it is determined by all three So what what this means is that

35:44 that this fluid is preferentially wetting over fluid. The fluid out here.

35:50 this one, this fluid is preferentially over this fluid. So that's what

35:56 contact angle means. We all OK that. So what it all,

36:05 , what it's about is the attractive between the surface and the fluid.

36:10 those forces are strong, it wants spread the fluid out. If they're

36:15 , it wants to take the other and right minimize, maximize the kind

36:20 amount of fluid and this fluid that's contact with the surface over this

36:24 Yeah, it's kind of important The the the answer is you need

36:36 , to tell me what three right? Because it's always the competition

36:41 the fluids, the two fluids for surface. So you, you always

36:47 all three when, when, when talk about what that wedding angle

36:59 fluid is bonded to the source. it's, it's about relative attractions for

37:05 surface to the two fluids involved. I'm gonna show you some slides that

37:11 clarify this in a minute. If change either the surface or the

37:16 you will change the contact angle and will change which one is preferentially

37:22 So if you think about when you your car, right and then it

37:26 and the water just is in little on your um on your car and

37:31 just roll off. That would be you've altered the wet ability by waxing

37:36 surface of your car if you don't the surface of your car, the

37:40 just spreads out and wax the So, yes, there is

37:44 a, an attraction between the surface the plume. So the two fluids

37:50 the same, you've altered, you've the surface. We, we're talking

37:54 the two same fluids, but you alter the wet ability, whether it

37:58 preferentially oil, wet or water Again. If you put a little

38:04 of oil on a wax car, oil, it's gonna spread out,

38:09 ? And form of film. This like a big deal. If we

38:15 get this, the rest of us gonna get pretty hard. We don't

38:18 this concept down. Yeah. And reservoirs, I already answered this

38:27 Sorry, spoiled all the fun. , what, what do you think

38:31 wet ability would typically be? What the most natural assumption to make for

38:36 wet ability of a formation when its originally migrates in? That's called the

38:44 phase? I already answered this like minutes ago. Remember when I said

38:57 they're formed in the presence of there's no originally no oil present.

39:02 what would the wedding properties be? would tend to guess water wet,

39:09 ? It's never contacted oil. You make this transition essentially, you can't

39:15 the car without any crude oil. quartz is water wet initially. Why

39:25 it water wet? Because water is polar molecule. You have truncated crystal

39:31 at every grain that means there's exposed charges. And so you get a

39:36 attraction and you get an attraction between and quartz. So quartz naturally would

39:42 to be water wet. Well, doesn't really care, doesn't have a

39:46 , but it will be initially water . You have to coat it and

39:51 that surface to alter the wet ability quartz away from water wet. So

39:59 the next question is how about when produce after we produce? So for

40:05 , when we're thinking about performing a flood, what assumption do we

40:10 Can we still assume that it's water ? My head is a clue.

40:18 , why not? Yeah, because have exposed it to crude oil and

40:25 on the saturations, crude oil we may well have modified the wedding

40:31 . OK? That's different from the , that's fractionally wet. That's different

40:38 the mixed wet one where it, totally mineralogy. You wouldn't care about

40:43 crude oil again, that almost everybody everybody uses that first criteria. So

40:51 is the drainage phase. What does mean? It means you were pushing

40:55 the wedding phase. So again, water wants to be there, the

40:59 is attracted to the surface, you to overcome that that requires energy requires

41:07 . That force is provided by the pressure, which is the difference in

41:13 pressure between the water phase and the phase, which phase is gonna

41:19 the higher pressure has to have the pressure in a water wet rock would

41:33 the oil because the oil has to energy to get, to increase its

41:40 , to get it through the poor and displace the water, which really

41:45 like to be there. Yeah, all OK with this slide, another

41:53 slide, it's not a slide, actually power point. Well,

42:09 so we can go back to the slide here. So mixed wet.

42:19 was the model we were using as mixed wet model. Should I draw

42:24 picture or not? Would that I'm pretty right brained myself. So

42:32 help me. Actually, I might able to do it on screen.

42:41 very good drawing pictures if I had pen lost my cursor. So you

43:01 , I'll do my best. Here's grain, here's the grain, there's

43:09 grain, remember my famous rock, a grain. So we put oil

43:16 here, right? So initially, can probably change colors, right?

43:24 What do you want to make? with colors? Oil, yellow?

43:34 I initially remember I put a little of oil in here. I got

43:38 stop clicking that we, we get drop of oil here in the

43:42 right? Yeah. And so is are we going to have modified the

43:47 at this point? No, we a lot of water wave thicker films

43:52 the grains than the length of a . I put a little more oil

43:57 the pore, it's gonna look something this. I'm doing pretty good with

44:04 . Right. So I'm getting actually , I have a fairly thin film

44:07 here's a little thicker, a little . So at this point, I

44:11 be getting my oil close enough that molecules, the long chain hydrocarbons in

44:17 oil molecule could interact with that And so I might at this

44:23 this might be oil wet, that . Yeah. However, these would

44:31 , these here would still remain. other two surfaces would remain water wet

44:37 I put a little more oil in it may look like this go around

44:44 this, go around like this and all the curb has to be the

44:50 . So I would have filled a of this in, right, something

44:54 that. And so this would have , this would become oil wet,

44:59 would become oil wet and this would oil wet. So the fraction of

45:02 surface I would have a larger fraction the surface that's oil wet. So

45:08 my index is, my oil wetting would be larger, right, the

45:13 oil I put in. So the condition depends on the initial saturation.

45:19 if I'm on the plateau of the curve, I don't have much oil

45:23 there, we'll talk a little that'll mean more to you in a

45:26 , I guess I could remain, though I could have varying wetting

45:32 even in the same reservoir. So up on the cap pressure curve where

45:37 have had a lot of oil I'm close to all these, I

45:41 have a fairly, uh mixed wet . But gee, when I've just

45:45 a little bit of oil near the pressure of the cap curve, maybe

45:49 remains water wet. This makes your pretty interesting, right? So

45:55 where it's predictable, it's high up the cap curve or gee, the

45:59 thing I haven't filled only the corners the pores would remain water wet,

46:03 the rest of the grain, I would have a fairly high wetting

46:08 there. So the good news is where you're really interested. That's where

46:14 most oil is, right, et , or you're gonna leave the most

46:18 . And so that would probably be conditions you, you want to

46:22 OK? Is that OK? I pretty good. I'm proud of myself

46:28 my picture. We should sell you should sell it. You're drawing

46:37 wanna buy it. I don't think do. But, all right.

46:45 we answered that question we answered and know that that's the drainage phase,

46:52 ? And what we ability and this is the, this is the

46:56 phase. I should go back to old cursor. So this is

47:04 what's called the inhibition phase. And got a right click on this.

47:12 I all. Yeah, cool. contact angle, we talked about

47:27 This is a summary slide for It's the angle of fluid contact with

47:31 surface. It's measured through the fluid interest and depends on the fluids and

47:36 surface involved. And also it can on temperature. It can depend,

47:42 actually a little more complicated than but I'll leave it here for you

47:46 purposes of this class, right? actually pretty hard thing to measure in

47:56 surface tension is our next problem. one is actually a lot of fun

48:00 probably we're gonna have to draw another here. It's a ratio of the

48:05 force to the length along which the acts. So what does that

48:12 It's measured in dines per centimeter? that the same as a pressure?

48:20 are the units of a pressure, force per unit area? Yeah.

48:28 this weird thing, right? Uh so what it's related to is the

48:34 of whatever is in contact with that , right? So I should draw

48:42 picture here. So we'll see, gotta go back to my other cursor

48:47 I'm drawing another picture on my So I have something that looks not

48:53 as good. I have a beaker change color. I did better with

48:59 other ones color. I've got no and this is full of water.

49:07 . So beaker full of water and I'm going to, uh, actually

49:14 is green. Then I have a here. I keep pushing that and

49:21 it. So I, I have wire here, two vertical wires that

49:27 like this. I have a little here. This thing goes here and

49:34 goes around here. Right. And I pick this up out of the

49:39 . Ok. I'm moving this in direction. And so I go from

49:45 one position here, I've gone from to here. Have I expended any

49:50 doing that? Yeah, I've I have a film here,

49:58 I have a film of should be out with blue. Oh I don't

50:03 like it. So I have a here, right? Uh And so

50:06 film, I would ask you, what happens is I pick that wire

50:11 to the force required to move it pretend we did this on the space

50:17 . So gravity doesn't matter, So how does the force change as

50:23 pick this up? And I draw I make this film area larger and

50:33 . So I go from here to . That's one good guess but wrong

50:49 less other good guest but Ron. what are we left with stays the

50:58 . Absolutely. Right. So why that? So what are we

51:04 So what you have is, is , you, you have this beaker

51:09 , what causes surface tension? You beaker water, you have a surface

51:14 then you have molecules interior to right? They have no idea that

51:19 is there. And so this molecule the attraction from the other molecules

51:25 it's far, far enough away from surface. It has no idea it's

51:29 , right? So forces are I now get near the surface.

51:33 I have a molecule up here of molecule up here. It's feeling attractive

51:39 from its neighbors, but nothing OK. So it's literally pulled into

51:45 held into the liquid by those attractive . Do we have molecules escaping?

51:52 . Because they're zipping around, they a certain velocity, some of them

51:55 an escape velocity, get out. is why water evaporates out of a

52:00 , right? What happens when water , I've increased the velocity of the

52:08 to the point where they actually are escape velocity, right? And so

52:12 literally we we very quickly, The molecules are getting out, we're

52:18 it, right? But this excess right here, right? Is,

52:24 simply related to these attractive forces and us act like there's a tension

52:29 something pulling the fluid in. And what determines that amount of force pulling

52:35 in is simply the length of a or whatever along that surface tells you

52:41 many molecules are trying to pull it in, right? And so as

52:45 pull it out, this is why this force is measured in dines per

52:51 of the contact. So it's very from a pressure. And this is

52:56 , for some reason, not commonly that a surface tension is a very

53:01 property. You all OK? With , that's why we get the little

53:07 of mercury because the surface tension is high because mercury molecules like each other

53:12 lot. There's another foreigner if you and it's expensive. So I won't

53:17 this. But if you put a of florer on the table, it

53:21 is non wetting. But surface tension so low, it spreads out immediately

53:25 the whole surface and then evaporates, ? That's about the surface tension being

53:30 low. So it actually is not really attracted to the surface, it's

53:35 not attracted to the air and it's attracted to itself. So it doesn't

53:40 spreading out and then the surface area so big. It, it immediately

53:48 . We all set here. we'll see. So I have another

53:53 for you, right? This is , our friend. Remember Bert

53:58 We, we now have a system . We have one tube looks like

54:05 . I should get a pen, goes like this. And then we

54:13 a valve here. We have a . We have a big balloon and

54:22 little balloon. What would happen if opened that valve? That's one good

54:35 . But wrong. Uh Let me you a hint, your intuition is

54:42 here. What would happen if this a rubber sheet? What would happen

54:50 the force as I extended it? is Hook's Law as my distance got

54:56 , right? My force would get . This is probably what most of

54:59 were guessing because you're familiar with elastic . That's what your guess is based

55:05 it. It's good intuition because you're used to soap bubbles. You were

55:09 , you're used to elastic properties, ? Dealing with those. Yeah.

55:14 what what happens here is this thing wants to reduce the amount of molecules

55:20 the surface. So this thing will your your uh the curvature here is

55:27 and so this one actually will get for a film and actually go to

55:33 and will expand that bigger one. tamer used to give this demonstration in

55:40 when he gave Caity lectures. So , you know, have some sort

55:52 intuition for what a surface tension At least the idea that it's different

55:57 properties that you're probably used to hook kind of materials, right? Rubber

56:02 whatever uh soap bubbles. I what happens if you have two

56:07 small soap bubbles or two small drops liquid on a table, they get

56:12 to each other, they coalesce, ? You are used to that,

56:17 ? Why do they do that? energetically favorable for them to do

56:22 And it's similar here, the small , the small bubbles go away and

56:27 to form the big bubbles. That you, you are familiar with.

56:36 . And it takes energy. If have a big bubble and you hit

56:39 , you add a lot of you create a lot of small

56:43 but you have to add energy to system to make that happen that we've

56:50 done, right? We're good. , I like physics. So

57:00 right? I'm never sure whether this helps you or not. What kind

57:06 pressure do I have to add? I force fluid in here to get

57:11 liquid level to rise, it's actually GH so I have to add

57:19 But what happens is that the whole will rise equally all at the same

57:25 . That's because energetically, right? doesn't take any more energy to put

57:30 here than here than here. So is an example, I gave you

57:34 example of a capillary array of I'm gonna enter all of them at

57:38 same time. And so I would liquid in all kind of simultaneously.

57:44 this was a rock, this would very different, which is, I

57:50 this case, what's gonna happen is are gonna reach the largest pores in

57:56 rock. And I talked about this little bit yesterday and then we get

58:00 smaller and smaller pores to as we more and more of my non wedding

58:06 , right? And then we get to where we fill most of the

58:10 . Now we're putting it into the in that portion. So because

58:14 we don't have a single energy that would go into. This didn't

58:21 I don't have to show it, that's supposed to give you some

58:27 So four rocks, we have capillarity rocks. We have two opposing

58:33 What are the two opposing forces that what my distribution is? We have

58:39 pressure. So by cap pressure they, they, they mean the

58:44 , the amount of force that you to apply to get a non wedding

58:49 into and displace a wedding phase. what they mean. And what supplies

58:55 forces are the buoyant pressure. The that oil has a lower density than

59:03 . So oil wants to rise above water and it will, and that

59:08 a net pressure related to that Difference in them. The the water

59:14 wants to displace that oil. So water wants to rise. Yeah.

59:20 you, you have the Catholic pressure right again and why we, we

59:25 these are forces you have to What, what actually is that

59:30 You are overcoming in a water, rock with a non wedding phase,

59:35 actually have that, that wedding phase attracted to that surface and you have

59:41 actually overcome that attractive force. in order to push that fluid

59:47 Yeah. And then what supplies that is the buoyant pressure forces. So

59:56 , we're, we're about as complicated we're gonna get in this course.

60:00 . So here and we, we literally have done this in the lab

60:04 we saturated samples. Yeah, you do a fair job if you have

60:08 , if you have a really water rock, that's real porous and

60:12 You actually can sit there, put rock in the beaker, you can

60:17 the water rise in the rock, fact. Yeah. And uh uh

60:23 actually pretty much displaces all of the in the rock. Even more interesting

60:29 when you freeze that sample, you it from the bottom up and you

60:33 watch the for water come out the of the rock when you do

60:36 if you do it right. So is ideal what the saturation profile would

60:42 . So we have this, this is attracting the water, water gets

60:46 into the pore space. It's getting in this case by the gravitational

60:53 Yeah. And so how high it get. And uh it depends on

60:58 attractive force which is related to the surface area, the amount of surface

61:04 that's attracting the flowers and it will up in equilibrium with row GH the

61:10 force trying to pull the water back the liquid phase. You OK.

61:17 us, that's an inhibition experiment. the way, I think that's reasonably

61:28 . It's just based on the cap my saturation is. So a little

61:34 more terminology, this is called the water level. So what that pre

61:39 level means is there is zero capo there. It means the pressure in

61:45 water phase and the non wedding phase the wedding phase and the non wedding

61:49 are equal. So there is no force trying to push anything anywhere at

61:55 point right then we have here, is called the 100% water level,

62:04 often gets confused by people. This the point from here to here there

62:12 100% water saturation in the sample because have not gotten to a high enough

62:19 that we can displace that water. no water goes into the sample.

62:25 is 100% water level is the If you remember, we call this

62:29 displacement pressure. Those two terms are with each other 100% water level and

62:36 displacement PD if you remember, Pressure, displacement pressure, right.

62:44 these are all things uh that you asked on the final, by the

62:49 . Yeah. And here we have known as the critical water saturation or

62:56 producing water level. So why is also called the critical water saturation?

63:02 here we have higher non wetting This is low water saturation, 100%

63:09 here, 0% water here. And what will happen? And remember I

63:14 about this as we have more and oil as we move this way.

63:17 we have less and less oil, water phase, actually, at some

63:21 will cut and act and be able flow. That's called the producing water

63:27 . That has high economic value. where we start to produce water.

63:34 much is water worth? If it fresh water, it may be worth

63:39 . Right. However, saltwater we got plenty of that.

63:43 It's three quarters of the earth's surface with that stuff. Right.

63:48 not just that, but you got Taine Xylene floating around in it and

63:52 these things, maybe a little H S or whatever, you're gonna have

63:56 pay to get rid of that Yeah, he can't just dump it

64:00 the ocean without getting in trouble and fine. Yeah. So you don't

64:07 to do that. All right. this, a lot of times that

64:11 water level where the water phase connects with each other becomes a continuous

64:17 . Is the economic limit of a , or close to the economic limit

64:20 a well. So as, as produce oil, I move down this

64:25 at some point, I'm gonna start water and then, yeah, I

64:28 to pay to get rid of that . So, uh, depending on

64:33 much water you produce, how far , you might be able to produce

64:37 little water, but it's uncommon to able to produce 90% water and 10%

64:44 in the gulf that certainly that you plug and abandon that well.

64:50 And then my last part of the , right, it's called a,

64:54 called a critical water saturation or a point saturation. How you, how

64:59 get that? The kind of rule thumb there's no uh rigorous reason to

65:04 this. The draw tangent here, tangent here and move up vertically from

65:09 point. That's the critical water And this is the cap height above

65:15 water level where it's gonna occur. my last one, my, my

65:24 one here is basically residual water. called sometimes mistakenly called coate water,

65:30 it is not coate water geologists should about this, in particular, uh

65:37 was here, she went and uh to you about it, right?

65:40 isn't coate water means the original water was in place when the rock was

65:45 . This is not that water, water's been replaced, right? So

65:50 fair to call it residual water. fair. But uh a lot of

65:54 it gots called coate water. It not coate water geologists in particular get

66:02 . Yeah. So that, that point, that critical point saturation is

66:09 value is the producing water level is the saturation at which we first

66:14 to produce water. It's called a point. A critical saturation. What

66:21 means is that's the point where the phase has connected across the whole length

66:26 your sample across some critical length. also called a percolation threshold,

66:33 Whereas I add individual segments of this , ultimately, they connect up.

66:42 talked about this when we talked about models and they give you some ability

66:47 predict this if you're doing your network correctly. So we OK with

66:52 we OK with our residual water saturation or irreducible water saturation is more

66:59 It's the irreducible water saturation. So a lot of times this irreducible

67:09 is related to remember bound water that talked about with clays. It's related

67:14 the amount of bound water in a . Remember how I told you you

67:20 not get that water out of the . You cannot get to a high

67:25 capi pressure to displace bound water. you often when you measure a mercury

67:35 , which we'll get to in a , we when we get to

67:38 I'll explain to you how to correct . So free water level. The

67:43 time we're talking about, we have line formation tester. This is actually

67:48 it's most often measured. In is uh this kind of measurement you

67:53 in and what this is is uh is a tool you can go into

67:58 well or you can actually uh it looks a lot like a rotary

68:03 drill. You have a, you a arm that comes out, pushes

68:07 , you have a snorkel that penetrates mud cake and you start measuring

68:13 So we go down deep, we down deep and we measure this and

68:18 we get uh is a straight And this is predicted by Archimedes principle

68:25 be either what's called gamma, a specific weight of the water or

68:33 gamma is equal to row times G GH is a pressure. If you

68:39 below the surface, it's the pressure feel in the fluid, it's related

68:43 the density of the fluid. The small G, the gra 9.8 m

68:49 second squared, right? Uh Depending how far you the earth from the

68:54 of the earth, it varies a bit and then kind of the depth

68:57 the surface, you swim to the of the 10 ft end of a

69:01 pool. A lot of pressure on ears, right? You're in the

69:05 end, not much. It's all to that pressure simply related to the

69:09 of the water above you. That's that matters. Doesn't matter where I

69:14 in the swimming pool, all it is how deep it doesn't matter how

69:18 water is. Be below me, it matters is the amount of,

69:22 water above me, which provides that called Archimedes principle. So you can

69:31 it if you want at pressures. GH. So I get a nice

69:37 line that's called the water gradient at . So we have P SI per

69:48 . So that typically for brine is 0.43 P SI per foot. So

69:57 every foot you go beneath the the pressure goes up by 0.43 P

70:03 Yeah. Now we move a pole we start measuring pressures and lo and

70:11 , what do we get? We get a straight line.

70:15 However, the slope is different. . And that's because the density of

70:20 is different from the density of Row. GH still works.

70:25 But row is smaller. So my , my pressure increases more slowly than

70:33 does for water. What is this right here where it crosses, that's

70:40 the pressure in the oil phase is to the pressure in the water

70:46 That is, it's kind of at top of the slide. And by

70:52 way, yeah, very good. called the free water level. That

71:00 where what that means, the free level is zero capillary pressure. The

71:06 in the oil phase is equal to pressure in the water phase. So

71:10 is no net force trying to push oil into the rock. OK.

71:18 your water saturation would be in a wet rock at that point 100%.

71:26 would have no oil in the Now what happens as you move up

71:31 from this point? Right not sure drawn exactly right. But we will

71:36 to right a point where my buoyancy , right, where my buoyancy

71:43 which is the difference between the pressure the water phase and the pressure in

71:47 right, that pressure goes up. . And we will get to a

71:53 where that force is now big enough get oil into the poor space.

71:59 that will happen where on the cap , a lot of ways, a

72:10 of distance to go back. Where that happen at the 100% water

72:20 This is my free water level where start to get oil in the

72:24 which is here, my saturation drops 100% is is the 100% water level

72:31 called the displacement pressure on the Yeah. These are key ideas we

72:38 to get. Yeah. And as move on, we're gonna get more

72:44 more oil. And what will happen we get up to here, we

72:48 disconnect our water phase. So our phase is continuous and water will flow

72:55 all of these cap pressures where we that cap pressure. So we are

73:01 down here, we're producing both oil water. When we get to this

73:05 water saturation, my water phase disconnects not connected. So above this

73:11 this is where we want to be the cap curve. We produce only

73:18 . Remember perm curves. We are out our R perm curve onto the

73:23 pressure curve fair enough. So this where you really wanna be. Oh

73:40 our water. And this is literally people find free water levels. In

73:46 , they do exactly these measurements, will go in and measure pressures as

73:50 function at depth. They will you get data down to a certain

73:55 here. What happens here where in region is both phases are connected.

74:00 the tool gets confused and then you'll back to where only the water phase

74:05 connected somewhere in here. And then measure pressure in the water phase and

74:10 those two, you extrapolate those two cross. That's the free water

74:15 This is very commonly very applicable done the time. Probably the best way

74:21 get a free water level. People also try to get it off a

74:26 curve but doesn't work very well. water level is up hole from

74:32 Yeah. My Catholic pressure has gotten , it got bigger. And then

74:41 uh critical water saturation right? Was above that somewhere up here somewhere or

74:50 disconnect the water phase and I get a low enough water saturation.

74:58 Been known to get asked this on problems and elsewhere to literally solve

75:04 But you have to be able to two simultaneous equations, right?

75:10 you all know how to do So here's the holy grail and where

75:14 wanted to get and we're almost ready do the exercise. All right,

75:18 cap pressure, if you want to me like a week, we can

75:23 this. Uh, otherwise you can accept it. It's up to

75:29 So we could probably get to it the end of week after next.

75:34 there's a lot of ideas behind But what I would expect, I

75:40 you to know this equation And what mean by that, I don't think

75:44 have to derive it. What you to know is what the Catholic pressure

75:48 . And what's the definition of That's the difference in pressures between the

75:56 phase and the water phase? So literally when we cross the interface

76:03 oil and water, we will just there's a pressure drop, right?

76:09 the pressure in the oil phase will higher than the pressure in the water

76:13 , right? And that's the cap . So this is the, this

76:17 the pressure trying to force oil into poor system of the rock. So

76:26 equal to two because there's actually two , two directions of curvature. But

76:33 , I said, you have to me the two, this is the

76:36 tension. OK, that we're right? So it's the surface tension

76:43 the wedding phase. This is the of that contact angle that we talked

76:49 . This is the surface tension we about and this is the pore throat

76:55 that we've talked about multiple times, ? So that's one force,

77:00 That's the force that we have to to displace the wedding phase.

77:09 The other force that we mentioned already the buoyant force. So this is

77:15 good question. I guess we can where we are. What happens to

77:19 Catholic pressure as R gets smaller, happens to the force we have to

77:25 to displace that wedding phase, the the poor throat, the more surface

77:31 we have per unit volume. So pressure gets higher. That's why this

77:37 right. So the smaller this is bigger this gets. What what

77:46 What happens if this con if this angles 90 degrees sine of 90 degrees

78:02 . So what kind of, what of wedding condition do we have?

78:06 would have this property? So that that basically right Catholic pressure is

78:12 And so there is no relative force displace the fluid, right? Whereas

78:17 contact angle of zero, right, a cosine of zero, right is

78:23 . So it's the full, that that this phase is really attracted to

78:28 surface. Yeah, cool. So is, I guess this is funny

78:40 I'm Big Bang. He goes oh ? All right. And then our

78:44 Force is Archimedes principle. So that's equal to the difference in densities.

78:50 density of water is bigger than the of hydrocarbons. So that term positive

78:54 . Little G. So row GH , my weight is my force,

79:00 ? My gravitational force and C is about goofy units, right? I've

79:06 feet, I've got grams, I've centimeters squared in this relationship. That's

79:11 we generate that. It's not my . OK. So what would we

79:18 at equilibrium? The good news for is that we are just gonna calculate

79:23 this is kind of initially. Fluids at equilibrium, nothing's moving. So

79:29 is simple, called balanced forces. those from your high school physics

79:39 I have a force this way, have a force this way that's equal

79:42 opposite. Am I accelerating? Am moving? No, I have balanced

79:49 . Therefore, our conditions in our are in conditions of balanced force.

79:55 I can set these two equal to other, which is what I'm gonna

79:59 next. Yeah, those two forces equal, we can set them equal

80:07 each other. We can solve for height of free water level and we

80:10 basically solve the problem, which is we're gonna do next. The last

80:15 we're gonna do today is go through exercise pretty sure we got enough time

80:20 2 30 we might even get out little early. That's ok. Unless

80:26 strongly object, we can go on another lecture. Happy to do

80:30 So we, we'll see how far get. This can take easily an

80:33 , hour and a half to get the, to get through this.

80:37 we're almost ready to start it at . The cap pressure is equal to

80:41 and pressure we set these. And when you can, you not use

80:45 , if you have a flowing because you have fluids flowing. Now

80:50 notice when, when we, when up to this point, right,

80:55 is the expression we get, there's time in it, there's no acceleration

81:00 it, there's nothing going on other the balanced forces. So if fluids

81:05 moving, what do you do, geologists don't usually do it. Geophysicists

81:10 do it, but there's people called engineers who deal with that problem.

81:17 have we included there that you you're not dealing with booing fluids,

81:27 reservoir engineer, they run a reservoir . And what that reservoir simulator does

81:32 it includes not only capillarity, not these forces, but actually hydro hydrodynamic

81:40 , right? So basically they are how do fluids move under pressure.

81:47 we lower our well bore pressure, moving fluids into the well bore,

81:52 actually shearing fluids, we're doing all of cool stuff now, right?

81:57 are flowing everywhere. You might have influx. So they're modeling all of

82:02 . This is kind of the major of their job that's called a reservoir

82:07 . If you're not familiar with I'm guessing you've heard of them

82:11 right? So this is kind of a full time job. And so

82:17 they do this, they're deciding do need in fell well in fell

82:21 et cetera. Right. What should spot pattern be? So, how

82:26 wells do I drill? And so of money involved in that. That's

82:30 they get promoted a lot. And rest of us, not so

82:34 they're closer to the money. They have to dress better than us

82:39 Usually because of that. That was . A shell, the closer you

82:46 to the money, the better you to dress at the labs, you

82:50 dress pretty badly. Once you got the operating companies, it was tougher

82:56 if you were in the people who the economics. You were all suit

83:00 ties still. Money, money drives some reason. You have to be

83:06 dressed if you're close to money. never really understood that but got some

83:13 serious. All right. And so can you not use it? It's

83:17 the circumstances. You have a leaking , you, whatever you can't because

83:22 are moving and we haven't included any that. Physics. There's a lot

83:26 physics involved in that. All Cool. So, this is

83:32 uh, this is, uh, forms, uh, of, of

83:37 . Right. We're getting elevation above water level. We're gonna do all

83:41 that. We're gonna figure out how do that. That's a big part

83:44 the exercise. This is the equation gonna use. Why are we using

83:49 equation? Why does it look so ? We have mercury properties in

83:53 We have oil water properties in We have specific gravity here. We

83:58 mercury pressure here and it's because we gonna start with a mercury curve.

84:04 then we are going to convert that curve to an oil water curve.

84:08 we're gonna convert that to a height free water level curve. Then we're

84:13 put in our reservoir geometry, whatever is. And then we'll be able

84:18 figure out what saturations are as a of depth. So it's not as

84:24 as it seems and we'll go through step by step how to do

84:29 Yeah, better know how to do because it shows up on the final

84:32 a bit. Yeah, it's, relatively straightforward once you get through

84:35 once it's really not bad, maybe of you already done it before and

84:39 can go home now. No. it really is something you should understand

84:44 be able to do because people will about saturation height models all the

84:49 two ways to get oil saturations. of them is this. And so

84:54 I would like to do is go , we have enough information to do

84:58 exercise and then, so we'll spend hour uh uh we'll see we'll see

85:05 we get through it. How much we get through, then once we're

85:09 with that model, I can talk kind of the impact of these models

85:13 what they mean, that usually takes 15, 20 minutes to talk about

85:17 . What, what it means. , we're gonna hand out the exercise

85:22 , I'll get started. So, should do this exercise in the

85:28 I give it to you in the it's expressed here. If you do

85:32 do that, you will get lost you'll do it wrong. Yeah,

85:41 chair really is dangerous. Oh, you follow these steps. Exactly.

85:49 happy to go through. Uh If skip steps, I'm not gonna help

85:54 . So you need to do them the order that you're asked to do

85:57 here. And the first thing you is you, you take that saturation

86:03 height bottle. Thanks you, you that model right now. Let

86:07 let me read what the exercise right? You have a flat layer

86:12 . This means we don't have to deal with tilted reservoirs where my cap

86:17 pressure would be, my buoyant force be a function of position. So

86:22 that means flat reservoir. My buoyant is the same everywhere. All

86:26 it, we have two types of is gonna make it a little more

86:30 . We have a clay sand which labeled here. I've been nice to

86:35 on this. I could have and asked other students to identify which would

86:39 the clay filled sand and which would . But this is consistent with

86:47 So you should understand why that red is called the chlorite sand. And

86:51 you would know that anyways, I , why would you know that we

86:55 went through examples right, of ate curves as we had at clays.

87:01 happens? My displacement pressure gets larger my G gets larger, right?

87:06 then my irreducible water saturation gets larger I add clays. So hopefully,

87:12 obvious it's the red curve is the . It's the Shay sand. All

87:18 . Each of the two rock types up one half. We can all

87:22 by two, all depths in the are vertical depths and simple two top

87:27 the reservoir is at 7500 ft. bottom is at 8600 ft. Not

87:32 why I did that. The 100% level in the clean sand is found

87:36 be at 84 60 ft. Oil the non wedding phase like we talked

87:42 so far. And we've given you mercury Caple pressure curves for the two

87:46 . They are in pressure communication with other, which often at uh we

87:52 this in the engineering department, we that not happen. I will be

87:57 if you guys understand it at this . If you want to know what

88:00 would mean if they were not kept , in pressure equilibrium. Uh We

88:05 talk about that, but first problem should do is this one simpler,

88:11 ? Uh And they have, and that means is they have the same

88:14 water level. So I've already given if they weren't pressured communication, they

88:19 probably not have this same free water , they would have different free water

88:24 . So how would you handle So your first job, first task

88:29 is a scale, the vertical the cap pressure curve and height above

88:35 level. So how do I do ? I take this equation, I

88:41 the numbers in that I've given you I should get H is equal to

88:46 number times mercury pressure. So that's first job. Plug those numbers in

88:53 get that, get that proportionality I know what it is. So

89:00 know whether you got it right or . So we've given you all these

89:06 I've given you on the first page . I've given you the contact

89:11 I've even given you the parameters for Tamir the equation. The other thing

89:20 often ask which I don't think I've here is uh estimate a permeability in

89:25 two curves. So you might wanna that too. That's why don't we

89:30 that estimate the permeability by plugging the into two MS equation which I gave

89:38 in the notes. So first plug the numbers into this thing for

89:42 contact angles for the densities and for surface tensions and come up with this

89:49 between height above free water level and mercury pressure. You're welcome to work

89:56 on this if you would like sometimes it easier. Now you look

90:07 made the mistake of getting vaccinated like three of them. So it's

90:16 a fairly rough day. Get You gotta to get vaccinated. We've

90:26 friends die of pneumonia. So that a pretty good abject lesson. Never

90:38 to get blue cats. Oh, time in my career I changed my

90:45 . They were free right still. let me know when you get the

90:52 answer and then uh we can move . Yeah, it's already powerful.

91:30 can immediately calculate from a mercury curve the properties of all the fluids,

91:36 the pressure changes is related to a above the free water level. It's

91:42 pretty exciting stuff. The first thing do. Yeah, I guess I

92:21 you get one relationship. So I've given you all the densities,

92:26 given you all the contact angles for for the oil V five goes up

92:35 . Mhm. And mercury's 4 80 in the bottom and then the contact

92:41 for mercury is 1 40. It's there. Contact tale is zero,

92:48 is one up there. Specific gravity 1.05 and the 0.433. So

92:55 you plug those numbers in and you it right. You better get

93:03 Yeah. So. Mhm. I , even here you got 0.095 divided

93:13 0.0866 that's gonna be one point Yeah, you were there. This

93:23 a little bit bigger. It's, , it's about 1.1. I,

93:29 just, no problem. That would cost you a lot of money.

93:47 right. So we got two people have 1.1. So we're gradually getting

93:51 uh three people at 1.1. So getting close enough, right? So

93:59 next thing you wanna do is scale your mercury pressure for height above

94:05 water level. When you plug the in, you'll get 1.1 actually minus

94:12 . But again, the minus sign ignore that because you're looking at heights

94:15 free water level. So this one's you can do in your head zero

94:22 1.1 0 110 to 1.1 100 and to 23 34 45 56 60 et

94:32 . So then now you're starting to powerful, right? You have what

94:36 pressure would be right? Related these pressure curves or the distance above the

94:45 water level. So let's go ahead relabel that axis again. So the

95:00 , I guess for multiplying, I ignore the minus sign. It's,

95:06 gotta come out negative because your contact has to be greater than 90

95:11 Right? That's negative. That's where negative came from. If that was

95:15 negative, you would be, you , you would not have an entry

95:20 . This would be oil wet. to be water wet, that number

95:24 got to be great in that. you get a minus sign and it

95:27 has to do with how much pressure we apply as we move up.

95:37 should only take you like 10 seconds relabel that axis, I can even

95:47 do that multiplication. So I'm not tell you what to do next.

95:51 this 01, 10 to 23 34 50 et cetera all the way

95:57 Hi above free water. Everybody got done. So what does this

96:15 So what we don't know is we have our depth tie point yet.

96:21 know the height above free water but that's an arbitrary position in the

96:25 . I don't know whether that's at ft 20,000 ft. I don't know

96:30 it is. I need a depth point. And so there, there's

96:34 points you can use that are commonly . One is the position, the

96:39 water level, I show you how get right uh in the lectures,

96:44 other is they could give you a for the critical water saturation, the

96:48 water level. You can get that a spinner survey, something like

96:52 Knowing what fluids are flowing uh or can use the displacement level, you

96:59 use the 100% water level and that can get off electric logs, uh

97:05 kind of saturation here and there. I gave you one of those three

97:09 type points, which one did I you depth of the water level?

97:18 water level even better. So where know the depth of 100% water

97:23 Where is that on the cap And did I tell you what sand

97:28 was in, in the clean So I know the depth of this

97:35 on the cap curve, that's the water level. That's the displacement pressure

97:44 that clean sand. Everybody see that given you the depth of this point

97:50 the cap curve, the 100% water giving you. Yes, giving you

97:56 depth of the 100% water level and clean sand. Yeah, exactly.

98:02 giving you that depth. How do get the depths to the free water

98:10 ? I know this mercury pressure. given you that the displacement pressure for

98:16 curve and gee I know the relationship that this by the way is 25

98:21 si if I remember. Right. . And so I just have to

98:26 that by 1.1 to get how far that my free water level is I

98:33 a relationship between mercury pressure and height the water level. Did I take

98:41 the fun out of that for So, here. Yeah, I've

98:45 you that depth and you also know many P SI that is,

98:52 25 25 P si. So I exactly what pressure that's at. I

98:57 the relationship between mercury pressure and height free water level. 1.1. So

99:04 times, 1.1 is 27.5. So know my free water level is 27.5

99:11 deeper than that displacement pressure. Yeah. So I know the depth

99:23 this. I know the mercury That's at, I've given it to

99:26 . It's 25 P si I know to relate mercury pressure to height above

99:33 water level. We just multiply by . So I know this is 27.5

99:39 above my free water level. So need to do is take that depth

99:44 add 27.5 ft to it to get depths of my free water level as

99:50 tried to. Is that what you ? Yeah, you gotta add

99:54 It's deeper, right? This is my free water level. So my

99:59 water level is deeper. Everybody see to do that. I'm just gonna

100:07 them through that and we'll leave we're gonna do elegant. So,

100:21 know, you know how to get free water level yet. Do you

100:25 how to rescue your axis yet? did you do? This is why

100:32 doing it together. This isn't that . So, you know the relationship

100:36 mercury pressure and height above free water , you just take your mer

100:40 1.1 you have tiny writing. so this is still 01 10,

100:47 23 34 45 50 et cetera, ? That's my height above free water

100:52 . So do that relabel that you plug the numbers in, you

100:58 1.1. Yeah, multiply by 1.1 gives you height above free water

101:07 OK. So that would be 100 10 ft. Next one's 2 23

101:13 et cetera. So. Ok. . Got we got our free water

101:27 . All right. Now you get be a geologist. So what I

101:31 is I, I draw my geologic on top of this cap curve.

101:38 are my sands, right? So know the depth of the free water

101:45 , the depths of my horizons. . So I simply can put lines

101:50 here where my clay sand is and my clean sand is at. What

102:00 you say? Get your Yeah in in a in exercise. So

102:10 How do we get pre water I've given you the depth of the

102:16 of water level. It's in the sand. A give me a second

102:20 turn the camera Yeah. OK. I've given you the depth of my

102:33 water level in the clean sand. I know the depth that that points

102:38 . That's also I've given you the pressure and you can try to read

102:42 off, but I also gave you displacement pressure that curve. It's 25

102:47 si I also have a relationship between height of above free water level and

102:55 and it's 1.1. So 25 1.1 is 27.5. And so I

103:02 that my free water level is 27.5 deeper than my 100% water level.

103:09 all I do is add 27.5 ft the depth of my 100% water level

103:15 get my free water level. Thank . Sure. Yeah, you add

103:36 to to 10. So if I want to, yeah, that's the

103:45 thing I would label this axis in of depth. Once I know the

103:49 of my free water level, then first tick is 100 and 10 ft

103:54 that. So this is 8460. this would be 100 and 10 ft

103:59 . No, that's just our, the, the percent water,

104:04 So this is 100 and 8460 not . So your, your water level

104:11 pre water is 27.5 ft deeper 0.5 , 84 87. So I everybody

104:23 how to get the depth to the water level. 84 87.5 ft,

104:32 ? Ok. So I have this now I can relabel this axis in

104:36 of depth, this action. Because I know that this first tick

104:44 100 10 ft above my free water . So at 84 87 right?

104:50 100 and 10 ft, I'm getting here, right? As I move

104:54 and then minus 2 20 minus 30 minus 4 40. So I

104:58 relabel this now, in terms of , I use my depth tie point

105:04 get an absolute depth for this. then this is, I know this

105:08 100 and 10 ft above my free level, 220 ft above my free

105:14 level, 330 ft, et cetera the way up. Yeah. My

105:22 water level zero capa pressure is my water level. That's what you

105:32 Well, it's shallower, right? mean minus, ok. Ok.

105:35 it's the 84 87 minus 1, , 84 87 minus 2 20 gonna

105:51 shallower. Ok. So yeah, everybody has their depths. Now,

106:36 can you geologists input to this? GEO gives you the depths of your

106:45 . So we gave you a geologic , which is the next thing you

106:49 in after you label this in terms depth. I know the depth of

106:53 chlorite sand, clean sand interface. know the depth of my top,

106:58 clean sand, top of my clay . Yeah, I've told you that

107:04 when we outlined the problem, uh just gets shallower as you move

107:25 we have to do that pressure by to get the height of a free

107:36 . Then I'm gonna start with It is negative because it's so you're

107:47 the de Yeah, it's a good to remember it. The information.

108:05 , that's uh 80 84 60 is 100% water level? I subtracted the

108:14 47.5 I got. Ok. So 16th. No, no,

108:31 it's 84 87. You're gonna label tick marks. So we you you

108:38 up with the depth of here at Caple pressure. Sorry. Yes.

108:54 one was it? Oh, it's one with the picture of the cat

109:00 . So you know the depth of free water level, that's zero cap

109:04 by definition. You know that's 84 , I guess. Right? I

109:10 that depth. I know this tick is 100 10 ft above that.

109:15 tick is 2 20. Ok. is why we do it together.

109:28 a little confusing. 80%. You stuck and so you're doing way too

109:39 significant. Well, again, 1 , 2 20. That's fine.

109:44 you, you can do it wherever want, right? But you're gonna

109:47 , you're gonna have this uh 84 87.5, minus 1,

109:53 84 87.5 minus 2 20. Is tick mark, et cetera and that's

109:57 you did. So these are your and if you did that, it's

110:02 . You're done with that. Now have what my capillary pressure curve,

110:07 is in terms of absolute depth, hide above free water level. This

110:13 where you needed that depth tie point all you had initially was relative to

110:18 free water level, right? But need to know what depth that's

110:22 It could be anywhere I could I write the problem, I can

110:27 my free water level anywhere I It just depends on how much oil

110:32 migrated structure or whatever. OK. now that I have depths, I

110:38 the depth, I know the depth my horizons of my two sands.

110:45 I can draw those on. I tell people just, just put

110:51 on this chart. So at the depth, you have the interface at

110:55 appropriate depth, you have the at the appropriate depth at the bottom

111:00 the chlorite sand. So where are ? So you just draw those

111:08 Mhm Now you can put the geology . So you, you need

111:18 you need to put in the geology . So the, so you just

111:23 to put in the depths where your are. What depths are your sand

111:29 ? Yeah. There you go. . And students oftentimes tell me,

112:00 , gee, you can't put the wherever you want. Oh, I

112:04 . Right. I'm God. I can put my geology in wherever

112:08 would like. Geology is independent. could have put those sands wherever I

112:17 . You might think about what it mean to move those sands around if

112:20 want. So like clean sand is the chlorite sand, right? Is

112:35 Indianapolis and my interface is halfway in , right? You go through the

112:52 exercise and then showing on the screen don't do that. We're supposed to

113:01 this out together. I'm not supposed give you the answer. This is

113:07 I say. It's a little bit for somebody online to do this.

113:12 the only way you would do that be to uh meet with them,

113:17 ? Or having a zoom meeting and tell them what to do and let

113:21 work through it one on one if not here now. So if they're

113:26 here now, that that's ii I , you see how much trouble people

113:31 with this. If you don't go it with them, they're gonna struggle

113:35 68 hours and maybe not get it and get stuck. So I this

113:41 why I decided to do inverted A couple other exercises that are comparably

113:46 to this one. And we do same thing. Uh, usually if

113:51 go through it once with somebody they of get the ideas and the

113:56 I don't know what to tell We, we could have, we

113:59 have a, you have to do along with them. So, but

114:06 not familiar familiar with this so, , I would be happy to do

114:12 . They just would have to meet me at some point where,

114:16 where are they? Yeah, this , we have 33 person right

114:23 And what time zone are they Only? Only one student is in

114:30 . The other two are in, the, in the same time zone

114:34 we. So where are they? aren't they coming to class? Uh

114:42 they have no good reason and haven't to not be here and I am

114:46 willing to accommodate that. Oh, you have the option to be an

114:54 student. Well, so then they to be working this with us right

115:03 so they can share their screen if want with somebody and we can go

115:08 this. Um I mean, we have a solution written out for

115:31 So you, you could, you give them a PDF version of that

115:36 if you'd like, but they're gonna half the value here if they don't

115:40 it out for themselves. They will , I tell you learn, it

115:44 won't understand how to do it. . So we are recording right

115:50 So. Oh OK. Yeah. the, the 80 times the 1.1

116:02 . And then, so, so your, put your geology on here

116:07 . So I want you to put the interface between the sands is where

116:10 top of the reservoir is where the of the reservoir is. So top

116:14 the, yeah, that's fine. . That's fine too, if we

116:20 this 80 times 1.1 that would give 88 and then a piece of,

116:26 that be the top? It's halfway between those? So that's where the

116:30 is, right? Oh halfway. , it's half, they tell you

116:34 half, half the top half. this the bottom half is that so

116:38 know the depth of that transition? you, they're off scale.

116:43 so be it right? So you put where that transition is, you

116:48 the depth of the transition. That's important thing. OK? So top

116:53 the reservoir is up here and and just put a wiggly line and

116:59 the bottom or whatever, what depth at. So, you know,

117:19 mean, the way to do if they want to follow along with

117:22 , they should be sharing the screen you and we could talk to them

117:26 it, right? We could talk way through it, that spot as

117:32 as I can do. The other if they're in Houston, they might

117:36 coming in for the portions right, we're actually doing things in the class

117:42 the class suffer. That's here for people who are not. We can

117:46 our best to accommodate it. I'm gonna go to their house. Thank

117:56 so much. Great draw that transition the transition between the two sands is

118:10 need to draw that um chart everybody that. Put the geology on their

118:20 on their cap curves. I don't so yet. All you need to

118:25 is at that depth. Calculate where depth is. It's halfway between the

118:30 and the bottom, right? And draw, draw a line across

118:38 survive. OK. And draw, a line across at that depth.

118:45 wherever that is, yeah, that about right? Really? 50.

118:57 . OK, great. So once have that line on, what does

119:01 mean the cap curve that controls is appropriate cap curve for that sand,

119:08 on the bottom is your clean So as you come up,

119:12 you wherever your free water level you're gonna reach first, you're gonna

119:16 in the bottom sand, you're gonna saturations are gonna follow that cap

119:21 then you're gonna transition to the other curve and your saturations will be related

119:26 that from there on. I So we're gonna go here and then

119:29 gonna bounce. What squiggly you think talking about squiggly? Um One of

119:38 slides and goes like that. Um you. So your saturation profile,

119:57 basically on this curve, you're coming from the bottom and we reach our

120:01 water level. It's all 100% water in the clean sand. Below

120:06 We get up to the 100% water and now we start putting oil in

120:11 . We come up to this Now we transition to the other cap

120:16 . It's a tighter sand. We less oil than we did in

120:20 And we follow that cap curve up the top and that's my saturation

120:30 right? So we fly between what do they want to know?

120:47 between the new depth we labeled, have no idea what that question

120:52 So first they need to do the right? Plug the numbers into

120:58 OK? And then you're gonna get is equal to 1.1 times mercury

121:04 OK. And you go to the curve and you label this zero times

121:11 100 times 1.11 10 to 23 34 et cetera all the way up.

121:17 your height above free water level. we need to find, put

121:20 use a depth tie point to actually out where in the subsurface we are

121:26 with. So this is right. our height above free water level.

121:30 I tell you the depth of the water level in the clean sand,

121:35 8460 ft. So this, I the entry pressure here is 25 P

121:43 I gave you that right there. sand displacement pressure, right? 25

121:51 SI that's the 100% water level. 1.1 times that is 27.5. So

121:57 know my free water level is 27.5 deeper. So that's at 84 87.5

122:05 . OK? And then I can 1 10 from it, 2 20

122:10 it 3 30 put things on a scale. Then I can put my

122:15 on I know where my transition It's like 84 50 that I can

122:20 my right where my sand transition, use this curve because I'm in the

122:26 sand up to that point. I to transition red sand and that's my

122:32 from thereof. That's basically the Yeah, I'm not sure it's it's

122:41 mostly terminology, confusion. A little of that is done on purpose.

122:52 water of the profile is but I , I mean that's fine. You

122:59 a lot of people use a highlighter wave the line or whatever any of

123:04 things is fine. So yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Depth of producing

123:49 levels. So we're gonna be around 3 90. So then we plug

123:55 . How do we get the critical saturation off this? We draw a

123:59 , we draw a tangent, we straight up. So it's a little

124:02 , always a little bit point past point of maximum curvature. So it's

124:07 there and here it's, it's really in this sand. So you have

124:13 single critical water saturation. It's about there. Then you would just,

124:18 have to read off the, that line was just a graphical way

124:29 get it. Draw tangent line draw a tangent line here. They're

124:35 cross at a certain point and then gonna move straight up from that point

124:39 this curve. That's your critical water . That is your producing water

124:44 So that you would plug 200 into formula. Well, that's the point

124:48 think it is? I don't know that triangle is. Oh Yeah.

124:53 . So it's gonna be roughly So then we plug that and then

124:56 , so for age and that's Yeah, you could, you could

125:00 for your height above free water Sure. If I know the mercury

125:05 or I can know the depth that can know the depth it's at.

125:13 that's the mercury pressure. You went and you showed me right, you

125:19 off the mercury pressure. And so I know that that would tell me

125:23 height above free water level. And then my free water level

125:27 I would add that height to it I'm reading this anyways, I could

125:32 read off my depth. My depth be here off of this axis.

125:39 , so, uh it's about right me. So that's the, that's

125:46 , I don't know. G that, like the last question where

125:50 says, estimate the depth of the water level. Yeah, that's the

125:54 of the producing water level. I'm sure. I'd call it. Not

125:57 why you're calling that G because it's . Oh sure. That's a good

126:04 to call it G and then for credit estimate the permeability in these two

126:18 use the two mir parameters plug into Tamir Equation for permeability and calculate what

126:23 permeability in the two sands is. Everybody done. That's optimistic. So

126:41 , you're doing great there. And the last question is producing water

126:46 You're a tangent. If you're on tangent where it comes up, that's

126:49 critical water saturation. That's your producing level. This is pretty iffy,

126:59 ? Graphical rule of thumb, it's a little bit past the point of

127:05 curvature. Hm Then you simply go up from that point to get straight

127:24 . Yeah, to get the mercury . So OK. So and I

127:56 to the mhm Right. Extra Calculate the terms. So I think

128:16 close enough that I can wrap this up. So let's go ahead and

128:21 that. So to show you the of this and hopefully drive home why

128:27 doing this, then we're gonna Yeah. These are just examples of

128:43 to plug in, right? Lab , lab conditions, microphone. I

128:48 a microphone. Oh, you OK. All right. People can

128:52 you. So people don't wanna Now, I'm happy to do this

129:00 next Friday if you'd like. But that's up to you. We really

129:06 to get her home. She's not good. So what do you want

129:10 do? People aren't even listening to asking if you are listening. So

129:20 guess implicitly that's the answer. I'm happy to let people go now

129:25 people want. It's, it's like a half hour to wrap this

129:28 I'm happy to do that next So let, let's just go ahead

129:33 do that. I'm feeling guilty making stay. She's not feeling guilty.

129:38 not feeling good. So let's wrap up. Don't get all three of

129:42 vaccines at one time. This will you a chance to mull it over

129:46 everybody else a chance to finish Just it's, we're, we're gonna
