00:00 | To answer it. Did you I'm , can you repeat that? Um |
|
|
00:07 | did, how did you make a of this? What did you end |
|
|
00:10 | doing? Oh, I just took screenshot. It was my camera |
|
|
00:14 | Oh, it is off. Um just took a screenshot and send it |
|
|
00:18 | my ipad and then did it that and then I can just send it |
|
|
00:22 | you as a PDF? Ok, , great. That'd be good. |
|
|
00:28 | So please do that and then um got one more little one here for |
|
|
00:35 | just to slam dunk this. ok. Yeah, the song. |
|
|
00:47 | . Let me screenshot this to Yeah. Mhm. Ok. Doctor |
|
|
07:21 | . I sent both. Ok. . Ok. Uh You, so |
|
|
07:33 | let me just check you, you those guys to me? Yes, |
|
|
07:37 | just sent them. Ok, let have a quick boo I'll see if |
|
|
07:43 | got them. Um ok, I , I got the first one. |
|
|
08:17 | . Did, did you send them or were they? Yes, |
|
|
08:20 | they're separate. Ok, I just the second one. Ok, so |
|
|
08:31 | got the first one. Uh I received the second one yet. |
|
|
08:46 | bye. Trust it's on its Uh, let me double check. |
|
|
09:02 | . Yeah, it'll be labeled, , exercise two too good. I |
|
|
09:12 | having a brain part with Archie. , we'll see. Well, |
|
|
09:18 | uh, let's have a look. , we're gonna, we'll, we'll |
|
|
09:22 | them up right now just while it's fresh in our brains. Um, |
|
|
09:26 | haven't received the second one yet. let's, let's go to the first |
|
|
09:33 | . Ok. Ok. That's So let's, let's step through |
|
|
09:57 | Um So here's a, a kind a, a reduced set of logs |
|
|
10:03 | um that are really a rep This isn't, this is um looking |
|
|
10:11 | the logs after the fact. So of the, they're simplified a little |
|
|
10:16 | . So we go through and just a scan at the whole area. |
|
|
10:22 | what you would do is just do partially done is go look at the |
|
|
10:26 | of interest and you can see that uh some pretty, pretty definitive character |
|
|
10:31 | in all the different logs. They're showing some nice excursions and some nice |
|
|
10:37 | . So you can see that the A unit is sort of above |
|
|
10:41 | would guess the area of interest. that's uh and then we go into |
|
|
10:48 | which is showing some excursions that we've kind of a thicker unit C and |
|
|
10:52 | a huge unit D E F as by the uh gamma especially. And |
|
|
10:59 | we go beneath the area of G, I don't know why I |
|
|
11:03 | B E F G. I wanted D E F. I don't know |
|
|
11:06 | I put G instead of D Sorry, here's number one. |
|
|
11:12 | Well, well, uh I'll, have a close look at what you |
|
|
11:17 | done after. Well, we'll just through this and you can, you |
|
|
11:19 | kind of see, you can um as you see fit here. Um |
|
|
11:25 | which intervals? We, we said was the sands shell section. So |
|
|
11:30 | intervals are sandstones? Oh, I B so b Yeah. Um And |
|
|
11:41 | I wasn't sure about d just because kind of like there's the kind of |
|
|
11:47 | that slow slope. Um but I put E N F, OK. |
|
|
11:55 | , um it's, it's a trending and we talked about that a little |
|
|
12:03 | that in a sense you could have something like um uh channel and the |
|
|
12:11 | might be shifting. We just drove through it as you know, from |
|
|
12:15 | graphic concepts, the, as the shifts, you're in a sense, |
|
|
12:20 | going from a sandy area to a area as this channel shifts we're just |
|
|
12:25 | through. So what we see, do see in the top which you're |
|
|
12:29 | pointing out that um That around 80 . Yeah, this is, this |
|
|
12:38 | what our Strat for friends would probably a finding upward sequence. In other |
|
|
12:44 | , it's getting more shay. And could be because again, this channel |
|
|
12:51 | whatever it is is shifting and then lucky through time and then shifted. |
|
|
12:56 | we're going from the sand might still over here. But now we, |
|
|
13:00 | the channel shifted, it's getting more or it could be that this particular |
|
|
13:07 | , the um the tectonics are depositing and more clay rich materials. So |
|
|
13:17 | would say in general, we would this probably a block and where that's |
|
|
13:22 | to be um emphasized. So D F is probably a block. Uh |
|
|
13:29 | it is changing. It's obviously getting shay as you go to the |
|
|
13:35 | However, it's not completely shay because see that it's got um some, |
|
|
13:43 | porosity. Mhm So, but we'll get there. So um uh |
|
|
13:49 | would say B D E F but right, D is a transitional |
|
|
13:58 | OK. So D is uh and could calculate it if we went over |
|
|
14:04 | if, let me just see if can get my little uh um |
|
|
14:16 | uh I'll try to get my Are going. OK. There we |
|
|
14:41 | . So we're looking at this whole . It, it looks like to |
|
|
14:46 | primarily one kind of unit, but right up here, it's changing. |
|
|
14:51 | if we were to pick our sand and here the gamma, we've got |
|
|
14:54 | from 20 to 100. So if pick our sand line, it might |
|
|
14:58 | this is beautiful sand might be, , say 30 20 here and 100 |
|
|
15:08 | . So the pure sand line would 30. So we call that 100% |
|
|
15:14 | and then the pure shale line is 80. So there's 50 units and |
|
|
15:22 | the top were, we're probably something we were a little bit screwed. |
|
|
15:30 | not right at full shale here, we're about a third the way |
|
|
15:36 | So up here, that number is there's 20, there's 40, it's |
|
|
15:42 | around 45 And we, so it's . So that's something like about 30% |
|
|
15:51 | . It's still about 70% sand. it's definitely getting shali but I would |
|
|
15:58 | probably call it a sand. This is for instruction, not grading |
|
|
16:06 | uh I know, I, I know why I quit g because I |
|
|
16:09 | it's d so I don't know, don't know what happened there. |
|
|
16:13 | That was a, that was a thing. So, um, so |
|
|
16:17 | going down and so I'm gonna say just on the basis and the other |
|
|
16:20 | is that obviously the S P we said not shale, that's that |
|
|
16:24 | . And then when we look at whole mask, we're seeing that that |
|
|
16:27 | uh you know, it's a hydrocarbon on top of a water or a |
|
|
16:31 | . So that's kind of our classic saturated sound. So then what kind |
|
|
16:40 | gas flus like b well, what you thinking b I was thinking b |
|
|
16:47 | of the resistivity. Um I was that it's brine, it's Brian. |
|
|
16:53 | low resistivity. The uh the pros ran pros agree. That's our slam |
|
|
17:01 | for bright low resistivity agreement here. much change in the Sonic. And |
|
|
17:09 | got all the other reasons to hold . So it's Brine and D I |
|
|
17:17 | . Yeah, this is just a crossover. So this is our classic |
|
|
17:23 | cast and E down here, I E and F being Brian. So |
|
|
17:30 | are, that's our, that's our I really go to conclusion here. |
|
|
17:38 | a little bit of stuff happening in that but we know it's low |
|
|
17:45 | Both units are low resistivity. So , we just can't make that |
|
|
17:50 | we can't make that into oil. then these guys agree. The prologue |
|
|
17:56 | . So we're inclined to say that's saturated uh that's a brain saturated |
|
|
18:04 | The Sonic Log does show a couple interesting things. So it's, it's |
|
|
18:14 | . There's a little, little bit gas in there. Mhm But maybe |
|
|
18:21 | little bit because you can see the change is just a little, little |
|
|
18:25 | . So there might be just a . So we can see there's a |
|
|
18:28 | , little bit of a crossover But um so I don't know, |
|
|
18:32 | there might be uh actually we could this, we could calculate um just |
|
|
18:39 | that very simple Archie's Law. We calculate this value over this value and |
|
|
18:45 | resistivity and probably find that there's a or two of gas in there. |
|
|
18:52 | just that little bit of gas really down the velocity. Mhm. |
|
|
19:00 | there might be just a teeny bit , uh, for peta physicals |
|
|
19:05 | yes, we could, we could it and find that there's a little |
|
|
19:07 | of gas in there. Um, economic interest, that's not gonna be |
|
|
19:12 | interesting because we just, We're probably interested in 98% brine. OK. |
|
|
19:22 | we got that one. Um If could choose and perforate one of the |
|
|
19:26 | , which, which one do you the most d uh definitely d that's |
|
|
19:30 | baby. Um Then, so that's gonna be our main pay, |
|
|
19:34 | pay zone. And then here's Archie's that says if we can find a |
|
|
19:42 | that we're gonna assume is one mythology sand. In this case, we're |
|
|
19:47 | assume that this is one mythology, we can take that 100% saturated, |
|
|
19:52 | is the bottom part over the And that's gonna give us our saturation |
|
|
19:56 | water. So if we take which is from our resistivity scale about |
|
|
20:08 | English or yeah, .25 or And then this guy is way up |
|
|
20:20 | I did 12 because it's in Uh yeah, we could take |
|
|
20:26 | So that's, that's optimistic. So say something like .3 over 12 |
|
|
20:35 | then the square root of that So that's gonna be like 16%. |
|
|
20:50 | . So say somewhere around uh Mhm Uh so 16% brine. And |
|
|
21:04 | so our hydrocarbon is 84, around . So it's good that one wrong |
|
|
21:11 | I couldn't remember. I put 0.1 whatever reason because I couldn't remember like |
|
|
21:17 | the R R knot was. Is just like when the log starts, |
|
|
21:22 | , I, that's the one I a brain part on. I couldn't |
|
|
21:24 | what the R knot was. But I remember it's gonna be like where |
|
|
21:28 | line is. OK. Yeah. knot is 100% saturation. And so |
|
|
21:34 | interpretation here is that again, this unit is sandy and we're assuming that |
|
|
21:42 | the bottom according to our logs That 100% saturated and that 100% saturation has |
|
|
21:49 | resistivity value of um .28 or say , somewhere around there. So that's |
|
|
22:01 | or not. OK. And then come up here and yes, that |
|
|
22:12 | 10. And um You know, could maybe take 12 That gives us |
|
|
22:34 | . So um the saturation of water 16%. Hydrocarbon is 84%. But |
|
|
22:45 | to make sure that we want to sure that you understand this. So |
|
|
22:48 | the, the, the picture here D E F is more or less |
|
|
22:58 | sand unit, the bottom part is with brine E and F for sides |
|
|
23:10 | the brine. And we said, we want to get really detailed, |
|
|
23:16 | can see that E might have a gas in it because if I look |
|
|
23:20 | the, the neutron density overlay, bang on at the bottom. So |
|
|
23:25 | telling me that's probably a perfectly sand with 100% brine right there. So |
|
|
23:33 | is, looks to be perfectly 100% saturated. Its resistivity is very |
|
|
23:40 | Uh We know that it's porous and and everything from our S P and |
|
|
23:44 | gaming. So that is our 100% sand. Now, we look to |
|
|
23:52 | out what's the resistivity of that 100% saturated sand? And we've gone |
|
|
23:57 | We've said it's around point 25. , I'm coming up here. We've |
|
|
24:07 | all this looks like it's still Brian I'm not getting very much resistivity. |
|
|
24:17 | that's just for fun. Say we see uh a Sonic log drop. |
|
|
24:24 | this, see this Sonic log gets lot slower. Plus we see there's |
|
|
24:29 | little, little, little shift or over here. So that suggests to |
|
|
24:36 | that there might be a little bit gas in there. But why don't |
|
|
24:40 | just try this? I haven't done before. Let's just try it. |
|
|
24:44 | say we had .25 there. what's the resistivity above here? An |
|
|
24:51 | um about Maybe like .3 eight. , it's getting less because this, |
|
|
25:02 | line is .4. So I'm gonna say .35 or something. OK. |
|
|
25:09 | we have .25, divided by What do you get for a number |
|
|
25:23 | ? So if we're really pushing this little bit, What's the uh saturated |
|
|
25:29 | ? I've got 100% here, partial here, like maybe .33 or |
|
|
25:39 | And if I use my little what's the, what's the saturation? |
|
|
25:48 | So, so what, what that gonna be? Zero point You said |
|
|
25:57 | over 35. Well, we're using 100% saturated number. What did you |
|
|
26:04 | before for that? 0.25. Yeah then divide that by the 35. |
|
|
26:14 | , 35. So 0.25 divided by three And then take the square root |
|
|
26:26 | that. So 84.5. So we point uh .25 over .35 Uh zero |
|
|
26:47 | yeah, 0.25 divided by 0.35 14. Take the square root of |
|
|
26:58 | . Yep, 84.5. What? What uh that's gonna be the, |
|
|
27:05 | brine. So then 100 -84.5. 15.5% Hydrocarbon. Yeah. Well, |
|
|
27:16 | know what, when we got picky this um there's some gas in |
|
|
27:23 | Mhm. So there's 15% gas. that, that makes sense to us |
|
|
27:33 | again, there's very little kick on resistivity. This kind of shows us |
|
|
27:38 | you do have to be picky. didn't see very much kick in the |
|
|
27:42 | . Right. Mhm. We we see a little bit on the |
|
|
27:49 | crossover. The blue is just a bit off the red, right? |
|
|
27:55 | we see a fair amount on on the Sonic log. it gets |
|
|
28:00 | , quite a bit slower. So is a pretty strong indicator that there's |
|
|
28:05 | gas saturation here. And if we back to your um fluid substitution |
|
|
28:15 | I'm sure you would find that if put 15% gas in, in the |
|
|
28:23 | , that it drops the velocity a . So that's interesting. But then |
|
|
28:31 | go back up to the uh D this is just the full on |
|
|
28:36 | So we're, we're trending up a bit. We've got a little bit |
|
|
28:39 | gas in here and then boom, just flat give it. What |
|
|
28:44 | what was our calculation? 80 84% up here, 85% gas up |
|
|
28:52 | Uh the bucket. It's interesting. sonic log doesn't care that much. |
|
|
28:56 | put 15% and it does certain amount put in another 70% gas. It |
|
|
29:02 | change this very much. It certainly all the other logs. Well, |
|
|
29:07 | the other ones, but it doesn't the velocity that much. That's why |
|
|
29:11 | hard in the Gulf of Mexico to fizz gas, which is uneconomic from |
|
|
29:18 | really beautiful Boomer gas, which is using P wave data load. |
|
|
29:25 | So we've been through that a little now. Uh the shale volume in |
|
|
29:31 | B. So we for the shale , we've set our sand line, |
|
|
29:44 | . Mhm. Which is very right. That here, Which is |
|
|
29:54 | around 30. And if I come to B and I took an average |
|
|
30:00 | B what would the average gamma be B? Um So when I first |
|
|
30:07 | it, I used the S P and I just redid it using the |
|
|
30:10 | log. Um So I did Um Just because because that's 20 and |
|
|
30:21 | that's 40. Yeah, it's So I did like around 35 and |
|
|
30:25 | I did -30 and then I did . So I got 10%. |
|
|
30:33 | I would, I would say somewhere that I would, so we |
|
|
30:36 | we set our Pure Sand line at , then we come up here. |
|
|
30:45 | you could pick this differently but I , we're averaging, I would just |
|
|
30:48 | what 40, OK. And you pick this differently. I'd say our |
|
|
30:57 | shale is around 60. OK? , our pure sale is around 80 |
|
|
31:03 | . So really we had from 30 80. So we had 50 |
|
|
31:07 | Mhm 50 divisions between sand and And then I said there was uh |
|
|
31:13 | like 10 divisions, So 10/50 would 20% shale. OK. So the |
|
|
31:24 | thing here is to, to know concept, Let's do another one. |
|
|
31:32 | once again, we're gonna set the line and around 30 according to our |
|
|
31:36 | , gamb is going for 20 to . So if we Set our sand |
|
|
31:42 | , say around 30 And then our line, we're gonna set at say |
|
|
31:52 | . So we've got 50 units to with. Why don't you do another |
|
|
31:56 | ? Tell me at the top of D unit like right up here. |
|
|
32:01 | , what's the because we talked about , what's the shali is there? |
|
|
32:06 | We did that calculation um did not we said it was gonna be like |
|
|
32:26 | a third of The Sandstone. So averaged that. Um so that's a |
|
|
32:37 | , 40. So we could average at about good. So could we |
|
|
33:00 | that maybe around 40? What? ? Which 40? No, I'm |
|
|
33:09 | like in, in general. So set up the equation. So |
|
|
33:16 | I would, I would just say you, what you said, we |
|
|
33:20 | that the sand line was gonna be uh a gamma value of 30. |
|
|
33:25 | said the shale line was at Mhm Then what's your pick here? |
|
|
33:30 | value is your pick here? because like averages between like 60 to is |
|
|
33:39 | like 30? Let's take below the lines because the green line were saying |
|
|
33:44 | were saying that this is a unit we're saying that that the D unit |
|
|
33:48 | really below that green line. So then like Let's see, |
|
|
33:57 | so 45-25. So like 30 40 35. Well, what's the |
|
|
34:11 | right here? Can you see my ? Yeah, so that would that's |
|
|
34:14 | 30 is it, are you in middle of the 20 and 40 or |
|
|
34:19 | you on the 40? So here's our, here's our gamma ray scale |
|
|
34:24 | 20 to 100. Mhm. So with that line right there is |
|
|
34:31 | Yeah, this line right here is . Yeah. So this these values |
|
|
34:37 | about 50 Yeah, - 50. Given that these values are 45, |
|
|
34:47 | say what's the percentage stand right About 50%? Well, I would |
|
|
35:02 | cal you you better write it down the calculation. Oh I thought you |
|
|
35:06 | just like me was like looking at . OK. So if I use |
|
|
35:12 | so it'd be 50 -30. So 22/5 So 40%. Yeah. |
|
|
35:29 | I'm sorry I thought you asked me what the first like what the value |
|
|
35:33 | were using to plug into the I don't know like OK. |
|
|
35:37 | that's OK. So we're just trying figure out more or less what's the |
|
|
35:42 | is just doing some mental aerobics with or some just picking this stuff so |
|
|
35:45 | you get secure with it. for sure. And uh so at |
|
|
35:50 | talk, we talked about that Is that a pure sand? |
|
|
35:54 | it's not. It's actually, it's about 40% shale. And so that's |
|
|
35:59 | dirty sand maybe. And, but the other hand, we uh our |
|
|
36:05 | logs tell us it's still pretty So, so once again, |
|
|
36:10 | the uh the important thing here is know this, just this general |
|
|
36:17 | we're gonna set us a sand a shale line and then whatever excursion |
|
|
36:21 | between those two, that's what we're call our percent shale or percent |
|
|
36:25 | And so that's the shale volume uh . So just to hammer it at |
|
|
36:44 | depth right here with my pointer, the, what's the, and this |
|
|
36:49 | in unit G, what's the percentage there person in sand will be um |
|
|
37:00 | see. So that line is 60, 60%. Yeah. |
|
|
37:18 | So that case 60%. So we're kind of picking this as a |
|
|
37:23 | . But is that a pure shall no, it's getting that way, |
|
|
37:30 | it's not there yet. So you see that the environment is kind of |
|
|
37:34 | here, whatever was happening, tectonic around there, it's starting to get |
|
|
37:41 | and more curse. So it looks it's raining a bunch more and |
|
|
37:44 | it's getting sandier then all of a something major has happened, you |
|
|
37:49 | a river cut through or, or was a completely different event where all |
|
|
37:54 | a sudden we've got all this sand it was getting sandier. So something |
|
|
37:58 | happening. Mhm OK. So now next question is that this just takes |
|
|
38:08 | little bit longer. But the we wily time average uh equation said that |
|
|
38:17 | slowness of the rock was equal to porosity times the fluid slowness plus one |
|
|
38:24 | the porosity times the matrix slowness. that was the, and so we |
|
|
38:31 | just plug, you know, normally have a table with the, the |
|
|
38:36 | of the, the fluid. And know that that's brine. So what's |
|
|
38:41 | , what's the density of brine Uh was that 2.1? So the |
|
|
38:50 | just of the brine, I'm kind jumping here but the density of brine |
|
|
38:56 | the fluid. Oh It's um I , I don't remember what's the density |
|
|
39:09 | water? 11 and then brine is or more dense than water. It's |
|
|
39:20 | . Yeah. So in fact, you, 02.28, yes, it's |
|
|
39:33 | that much more dense. So it's , it's still water. Brian's pretty |
|
|
39:37 | water. OK. So you're thinking is one 1.0 g per C |
|
|
39:46 | So that's just standard water. Brine a bunch of salt dissolved in |
|
|
39:50 | So it's just a little bit So it's 1.1 g per C |
|
|
39:54 | oh, ok. So, brine still water basically. But it's just |
|
|
40:00 | salty water And it's about 10% So, how you can remember |
|
|
40:13 | Maybe. Have you ever, have you swam in the ocean? |
|
|
40:18 | float better or worse in the ocean in a freshwater pool? You float |
|
|
40:23 | . You float better. Why is ? Because of the density? |
|
|
40:28 | it's, it's a little bit, a little bit denser and it's not |
|
|
40:31 | much denser. It's only a few denser. But if you go to |
|
|
40:35 | Dead Sea in Jordan, the, , that site, the biblical |
|
|
40:42 | you can go to the Dead Sea it's extremely salty because it's below sea |
|
|
40:47 | . Everything drains into it. It very, very salty and it's really |
|
|
40:50 | . So, the water evaporates and can float in the dead sea and |
|
|
40:53 | float and you can read a book there. It's so dense and you're |
|
|
40:59 | buoyant because we're kind of mostly Our body. So, you float |
|
|
41:05 | it. So, bride itself is 10% more dense. And so that |
|
|
41:10 | floats everything. Mhm. So, , you can kind of think of |
|
|
41:15 | as an iceberg in water that fresh floats on saltwater and, and it |
|
|
41:27 | . Ok. So that's, that's of, um, but in any |
|
|
41:34 | , the, uh, so uh, the porosity that we determined |
|
|
41:39 | the sonic is, we used Wiley's . This is a very simple model |
|
|
41:44 | the uh the transit time through the is equal to the porosity times the |
|
|
41:48 | velocity plus the one minus the porosity the matrix. Likewise, with the |
|
|
41:55 | um with the density log, we the blic density is the porosity times |
|
|
42:01 | fluid plus one minus the porosity times matrix density. So the equation has |
|
|
42:05 | same form one using transit times or and the other using density. |
|
|
42:15 | and then we just manipulate those equations define porosity from those obser observations. |
|
|
42:23 | that's, that's that guy. Any there or no? OK. Um |
|
|
42:35 | then just to heap more grief on , we did another one. The |
|
|
42:44 | is that you're so sick of this you can just look at it and |
|
|
42:46 | know, immediately what the answer That's the goal. So we look |
|
|
42:51 | this guy and it's got the same again. So what do, what |
|
|
42:59 | you recognize here in general? Um the, the low gamma through that |
|
|
43:07 | . But then we have the oh I'm so frustrated with myself because |
|
|
43:18 | I didn't do well. Um you that low resistivity right there. So |
|
|
43:23 | that would be Brian sitting on top um Well, no, I did |
|
|
43:36 | it right. Oh My God. That's high resistivity right there. |
|
|
43:39 | yeah. No, that's oil sitting top of something, Brian. |
|
|
43:47 | So again, you don't have to this all at once you, you |
|
|
43:51 | be really, really simple minded and step through this stuff, especially at |
|
|
43:58 | , you know, you don't, don't start skiing double black diamonds with |
|
|
44:01 | on a 45 degree slope first and you, you want to pick your |
|
|
44:05 | through those moguls and uh and not off them too hard. So |
|
|
44:10 | we're looking through here. First of , the overall character is, there's |
|
|
44:14 | much happening too much as far as S P is concerned and the gamma |
|
|
44:21 | a little bit more chatter, but idea. So we're thinking of an |
|
|
44:26 | unit that's kind of homogeneous, lower . And then I've got this anomaly |
|
|
44:32 | the middle and we're always thinking there a reason these guys spent money to |
|
|
44:36 | this stuff. Mhm So they're looking some kind of anomaly. So we |
|
|
44:42 | that we've got a clean interval in . It's also permeable and I come |
|
|
44:47 | and I think, wow, there's classic signature in the resistivity, high |
|
|
44:51 | over low resistivity. So that tells immediately hydrocarbon over brine probably. Now |
|
|
44:59 | gonna go through and look at and think, oh and there's a little |
|
|
45:03 | lower velocities, the sonic log is slower or longer and then my neutron |
|
|
45:14 | my density are overlying pretty closely. that tells me that this bottom part |
|
|
45:27 | probably Briny. Mhm. The top is hydrocarbon. I don't really see |
|
|
45:41 | crossover here. So I exclusion it be oil. Mhm. Uh, |
|
|
45:56 | , the Sonic log again, tells that the velocity is getting a bit |
|
|
46:01 | . So that's, that's a little interesting. And it probably, again |
|
|
46:08 | us that it's a slightly more complicated . It's oil but yet, |
|
|
46:17 | it probably has a little bit of in it and the, um, |
|
|
46:22 | oil is affecting the rock a little differently than, than brine. And |
|
|
46:27 | , we kind of expect that again, um, oil has a |
|
|
46:34 | density. What was the density of ? Again? Less than water? |
|
|
46:42 | than water? Uh, certainly, less than Brian. It, like |
|
|
46:50 | or something. Perfect. You got . That's, that's our 32 degree |
|
|
46:57 | oil which we know and love and even when you don't think about |
|
|
47:03 | you're starting to get the numbers, is good because that's what you |
|
|
47:08 | that all of a sudden that number to you and you don't know where |
|
|
47:10 | came from, but it came to . So that's, that's what we |
|
|
47:14 | . I just realized because when we the results at work, like all |
|
|
47:18 | our S R OS and like the residual oil and the sulfur crude |
|
|
47:22 | it's like, I was like, a second, all of those are |
|
|
47:24 | in the eighth. I was like . Yeah. Well, and |
|
|
47:29 | that's bang on. That's why, , that's great to attach something from |
|
|
47:34 | else that, you know, and , first of all is great because |
|
|
47:40 | the basis of intelligence, intelligence is wiring in different stuff. It's the |
|
|
47:45 | in your brain. That's big part it. And then, uh And |
|
|
47:50 | you're confident of that because you maybe work you've seen that number about 1000 |
|
|
47:54 | and you say, look at, know that this number is .86. |
|
|
48:01 | , oh, that carries over to because that's the density that we're interested |
|
|
48:09 | . Now again, that's, that's of a nice, like we've talked |
|
|
48:11 | oil is very, but that's, a nice middle value of oil. |
|
|
48:16 | very close to West Texas intermediate. that's all good. OK. So |
|
|
48:28 | I think you're getting the hang of of these logs and there, there's |
|
|
48:31 | lot to um there are a lot different blogs, but I would say |
|
|
48:40 | in my opinion, I think in ways for reservoirs log is the most |
|
|
48:47 | thing to understand because they, there's , gives us seismic measurements and it |
|
|
48:55 | us an area and everything, which all great. We love it, |
|
|
48:59 | it doesn't tell you everything about the . It gives you a geometry, |
|
|
49:03 | a Strat gray. But with you've got all these different measurements. |
|
|
49:08 | got nuclear measurements, electrical measurements, measurements. Um So we've got so |
|
|
49:17 | more measurements to tell us about the and we're getting right at the rock |
|
|
49:23 | pretty directly. So I think it's important to understand these log responses because |
|
|
49:32 | really tell us all the different things the, um, about the rock |
|
|
49:35 | its fluids. Great. Ok. questions about some of the, |
|
|
49:56 | any, anything about the logs? , no, not right now. |
|
|
50:04 | , let's, let's take a quick . Stephanie and then, uh, |
|
|
50:09 | back. It's, uh, 2 . Let's see, uh, at |
|
|
50:14 | . Ok. All right. See shortly. Ok, great. Welcome |
|
|
50:22 | here. We be good, Um, ok, we both got |
|
|
50:34 | , our shirts on. So that's , yeah, I was thinking |
|
|
50:41 | we could have gotten to the university but uh we hadn't really planned |
|
|
50:44 | So, uh I didn't know whether were able to get down or |
|
|
50:50 | but I'm glad we, because when messaged me, I was leaving work |
|
|
50:56 | I was like, oh my I'm gonna have to go all the |
|
|
50:58 | home, change my pants and then to the university because I didn't know |
|
|
51:03 | was just gonna head up there and he messaged me. I was |
|
|
51:05 | oh, thank goodness because that was be the craziest drive of my |
|
|
51:08 | Ok. Yeah. Yeah, we , we don't really want to have |
|
|
51:12 | do that. I do it periodically and I think, oh man, |
|
|
51:17 | know, I was trying to get to Katie or something for a meeting |
|
|
51:21 | you have to go mental and I hate that is bad and you |
|
|
51:26 | want to do that unless you have . Um good. Well, |
|
|
51:30 | let's just quickly review this to make we have this uh this concept because |
|
|
51:34 | moving now into the seismic. And synthetic seismo gram is the um is |
|
|
51:43 | intermediary. It's the link between our properties and everything we understand about core |
|
|
51:48 | well logs and it's our link from geology to the seismic response. So |
|
|
51:58 | , the uh the measurements, the that we are thinking about this is |
|
|
52:02 | most of the exploration in the oil is really done with seismic. And |
|
|
52:11 | we have to understand what is the telling us and how do I get |
|
|
52:16 | to the rocks? Because ultimately, produced is a fluid from a rock |
|
|
52:20 | depth. And that's not exactly what seismic tells us. And so we |
|
|
52:23 | to understand how to put this stuff . So we just on the slide |
|
|
52:28 | , you can see the uh from to seismology. Um We imagine that |
|
|
52:33 | got are uh just a cross section the schematic diagram of, of the |
|
|
52:41 | of the earth. And we've drilled well, what's the symbol again? |
|
|
52:48 | you remember what that symbol is? doesn't that mean like open or |
|
|
53:01 | Yeah, more or less it means dry hole. It means that you |
|
|
53:05 | looking, you were looking for gas oil, you didn't find anything. |
|
|
53:09 | so yeah, this is, this open your bank account and pay for |
|
|
53:17 | . So yeah, it, it's open in a sense, it's |
|
|
53:20 | dry hole. So that's very But um this is just uh |
|
|
53:26 | Fortunately. So if we look at well log though, we could imagine |
|
|
53:31 | , that there are a bunch of well logs. And if we multiply |
|
|
53:35 | , so the sonic log velocity and density together we get an impedance |
|
|
53:40 | And then the change in the impedance as we go deeper from point to |
|
|
53:44 | . So can we imagine that each of these is a value? And |
|
|
53:51 | the reflectivity is the change in the as we go deeper. So that's |
|
|
53:56 | we defined it. It's the fractional across an interface. So explicitly, |
|
|
54:13 | imagine, and we imagine that every from a log defines a little |
|
|
54:19 | So the log values are at say foot, every foot has a |
|
|
54:25 | And we imagine that that's a Now a bunch of those layers might |
|
|
54:29 | the same rock because we just output log at whatever the log started and |
|
|
54:34 | . So, but each one of one of those one ft layers or |
|
|
54:40 | ft points in the on the log be significant. So we remember that |
|
|
54:46 | the logs are output at around one interval. That's that's the data point |
|
|
54:52 | . On our logs and we're going compute the impedance at every one of |
|
|
54:58 | log points. So something like every foot is going to give us |
|
|
55:03 | impedance. Now, I've got an log and if I look down that's |
|
|
55:10 | , I could say, well, the change between P I and P |
|
|
55:14 | plus one or the next depths And then just look at the difference |
|
|
55:20 | those properties as I go deeper, difference of in pens I plus one |
|
|
55:30 | I, that's just the change over sum. So this is the fractional |
|
|
55:34 | change, it's really half the fractional change. So that in very simple |
|
|
55:40 | , the reflectivity is a derivative, derivative of the impedance or it's just |
|
|
55:47 | the, how is the impedance changing I go down the well? And |
|
|
55:51 | the reflectivity and that's the amount of that's gonna get bounced back by uh |
|
|
55:59 | vibration that goes into the earth. if I had, if I had |
|
|
56:07 | pulse that was very, very high broadband, actually the seism coming back |
|
|
56:13 | look like this, but I can't a powerful enough impulse, high enough |
|
|
56:24 | because the earth absorbs all that energy like if you scream happily at someone |
|
|
56:34 | sound energy gets absorbed. So maybe the room, they can certainly hear |
|
|
56:39 | , but in uh spring, they can't hear you. Although believe it |
|
|
56:48 | not, there are screaming contests to who can be heard at the biggest |
|
|
56:53 | and I forget what the numbers but some people can scream and be |
|
|
56:58 | about a mile away. Oh my . So uh we know that we |
|
|
57:09 | transmit those high frequencies. And so so we can only transmit kind of |
|
|
57:13 | lower frequency that will propagate through the and not attenuate. So because of |
|
|
57:18 | effectively, when I put in a frequency on the surface that chirp or |
|
|
57:24 | character is reflected by every one of . And that's where we get the |
|
|
57:30 | result that every one of those reflection sends back the input signal, but |
|
|
57:40 | does it. So we have to them all together and that gives us |
|
|
57:42 | seismic tree. Right? Yes. . So remember that now what it |
|
|
57:54 | like uh going to a real So suppose I multiply density times |
|
|
57:59 | I get this say uh impedance And then for every one of these |
|
|
58:06 | points and layers, I take the between the above and the below scale |
|
|
58:11 | , that gives me the reflectivity. is actually just a, it's just |
|
|
58:18 | a well log we've constructed a new log. This is a reflectivity well |
|
|
58:24 | and, and that's what it it actually is a, just like |
|
|
58:27 | impedance log is a constructed log reflecting rock properties. The difference in the |
|
|
58:35 | is a a real well log. reflectivity, but that's a well, |
|
|
58:40 | to make it relevant to seismic. have to say, well, what |
|
|
58:45 | seismic does is puts a band limited into the earth. You've told me |
|
|
58:49 | principle, every layer how it could . And that's great. Now I |
|
|
58:54 | in this guy and this is what does reflect when I sum that all |
|
|
59:00 | . So this is what I And the important thing is that when |
|
|
59:04 | got this seismic and sometimes I can my little pointers. Sometimes I |
|
|
59:16 | we see the seismic and blue on right. And now each one of |
|
|
59:20 | wiggles, we can take it back the left and see what caused that |
|
|
59:27 | . Now, it's hard because the wiggle is an average. It's a |
|
|
59:32 | , it's the result of summing and the activity. So if there's a |
|
|
59:39 | happening, the activity, it kind gets jumbled up and looks uh maybe |
|
|
59:44 | bit different in the seismic and that's way it is. That's our seismic |
|
|
59:48 | . That's what we get. So we more um realistically what people in |
|
|
60:00 | industry are all doing is it's usually in two ways. There's a well |
|
|
60:09 | been drilled someplace usually on the basis two D or 3D seismic. You |
|
|
60:15 | in, you drilled well. And that's all good. And then we've |
|
|
60:20 | all the log analysis, all the physics, all the horizon from the |
|
|
60:25 | here. So say these uh logs the right? You, you can't |
|
|
60:34 | my pointer, can you? I can see your mouse. |
|
|
60:38 | you can. Oh OK. good, good. Um OK. |
|
|
60:44 | you can see that the logs in and the right, we've um there's |
|
|
60:50 | of character in here. We multiplied density times the velocity to get the |
|
|
60:57 | and then took the difference of the created a reflectivity and then convolved out |
|
|
61:03 | the wavelet which was the seismic um , either the vibe or dynamite. |
|
|
61:10 | looks like this. And then we our synthetic seism gram in blue. |
|
|
61:18 | then I've gotten real seismic in And so our interpreter job is to |
|
|
61:27 | take that seismic section and compare it the synthetic and then annotate the seismic |
|
|
61:36 | with what those wiggles mean. And done. So you can see some |
|
|
61:44 | these uh horizons. So the horizons picked on the well logs and from |
|
|
61:51 | driller. So we can see there's funny things like B F S which |
|
|
61:56 | mean something bad, but it actually the base of fish scales. So |
|
|
62:04 | fish scale is uh is a marine and still got fishes in it. |
|
|
62:11 | you can actually see the uh the fossils in it. So that's just |
|
|
62:15 | shale there. And then you go , you can see that there. |
|
|
62:18 | colony is pick colony sandstone, the sands, those are all just horizon |
|
|
62:23 | in this particular area. OK. you can see those going from the |
|
|
62:30 | extending right through. We've got a correlation with the blue synthetic seism gram |
|
|
62:37 | the red and black real seismic. this is an indication that, |
|
|
62:43 | this stuff almost looks like it Now, there's, there's one thing |
|
|
62:55 | been baked into this, that is immediately obvious but is really important. |
|
|
63:05 | that's that the logs, as we , are measured in depth, we |
|
|
63:10 | in depth. And so they all measured in depth and we've got this |
|
|
63:14 | vertical depth from the surface. So our log deaths. Now, what |
|
|
63:24 | really done is we've converted those depths time and we talked about this very |
|
|
63:31 | . And why are we doing that ? Because the seismic section is not |
|
|
63:35 | in time of the echoes. So um as we know, we, |
|
|
63:52 | blasted, we whack the surface and the energy went down and it was |
|
|
63:56 | off all these reflection layers and then sampled it, we listened in |
|
|
64:01 | So the reflections, the echoes are time. So our whole seismic section |
|
|
64:05 | went around, we did that every we got this big volume or |
|
|
64:09 | And that picture is also is of in time. So that's the black |
|
|
64:15 | and it's, it's native value. recorded value is in time. And |
|
|
64:22 | , and it's two way time because takes energy, you've gotta go from |
|
|
64:26 | surface down to the horizon and So that's what two way timings it |
|
|
64:31 | down to the horizon or down to layer and back. So that's not |
|
|
64:41 | in the raw form. The log not showing that in raw form, |
|
|
64:46 | log is showing properties and depth. we have to really convert the log |
|
|
64:52 | , it squeeze it do whatever we to do to make the log look |
|
|
64:57 | it's in time. So that's really mapping depth into two way type. |
|
|
65:09 | there are, there's the first way we're going to do that. So |
|
|
65:17 | mentioned, we have, we have Sonic log. So the, the |
|
|
65:22 | really important aspect of the sonic log to provide a mapping from depth to |
|
|
65:32 | . So the sonic log is, output in transit time. So we've |
|
|
65:37 | the Sonic log in in depth and go back to one and see if |
|
|
65:42 | can find one someplace. Let's let just try to find a Sonic |
|
|
66:03 | It's in time. How about this ? No, I fixed all these |
|
|
66:23 | uh into velocity. OK. here's, Let's find an easier |
|
|
66:36 | What was the unit on this Oh I, I've made these olive |
|
|
67:01 | . Um Where's one that's in the ? Well, here, here's actually |
|
|
67:19 | . It's just hard to read. uh we've got, we've got our |
|
|
67:27 | log in slowness or delta T. this is, this is just a |
|
|
67:32 | weird again, we've got this in which we know and understand. And |
|
|
67:36 | we've got a measurement of the time a foot, the delta P or |
|
|
67:43 | a meter. So once again, got a measurement of the uh |
|
|
67:50 | at a depth. I know the across that depth because that's what my |
|
|
67:56 | log is output, right? So can imagine if I've got this interval |
|
|
68:03 | I know the time across it, interval, I know the time across |
|
|
68:07 | this interval, then I just sum of those times together. So all |
|
|
68:13 | have to do is take the uh per foot. Here, it takes |
|
|
68:21 | long to go across a foot, microseconds per foot here, it takes |
|
|
68:24 | long to go across that foot, that there. And you can see |
|
|
68:28 | now I get depth and by summing of those microseconds per foot, I |
|
|
68:33 | a time across that interval. So summing the Sonic log, I get |
|
|
68:41 | depth to time map. So uh we can do is let me |
|
|
69:19 | uh I never use, well, very weird. It's kind of offset |
|
|
69:30 | my uh Well, we can imagine um you can imagine that we have |
|
|
69:39 | here. We have time here and I'm going to sum all the |
|
|
69:49 | And so now I've got depth and and I've got a mapping from depth |
|
|
69:58 | time. So let's go back to we were. So that's how we |
|
|
70:25 | it. So, uh in this , let's just kind of see if |
|
|
70:29 | can draw that. We have, have the original. This is, |
|
|
70:42 | is very weird. My pointer is one point and then the line comes |
|
|
70:45 | at another point. Well, we our, our depth on the uh |
|
|
70:58 | are in depth here and then by all the microseconds per foot, I |
|
|
71:04 | from this depth to this time. so I just stretch, using that |
|
|
71:23 | , I just stretch everything to And as it turns out, and |
|
|
71:40 | can calculate this A very standard velocity most sediments is somewhere around 2000 |
|
|
71:51 | That's a standard P wave velocity for near near surface. When we get |
|
|
71:57 | the carbonates, we go 45 6000 per second. But in the plastic |
|
|
72:01 | in the shallow section for 1000 m something, we're going to have 2000 |
|
|
72:05 | per second. So if the say is down 1000 m And the velocity |
|
|
72:26 | 2000 m/s. How long does it for me to get my reflection? |
|
|
72:36 | little pulse at the surface goes 1000 m comes back 1000 m and |
|
|
72:41 | velocity is 2000 m per second. it just be one second? |
|
|
72:48 | OK. So here's a little uh of guide in the near surface, |
|
|
72:55 | generally know velocities are somewhere around So If the reflector is at 1000 |
|
|
73:04 | how long does it take a game get my reflection? One second, |
|
|
73:09 | is how many milliseconds point? So many milliseconds in a second? Isn't |
|
|
73:23 | ? 1000? Yeah. So it'd .1. No. Oh, just |
|
|
73:33 | or two. So if I was plotting in the scale, I could |
|
|
73:37 | one second or how many milliseconds in same scale? Just 1000. |
|
|
73:45 | That I was like, I don't how to say this number. |
|
|
73:48 | So 1000 milliseconds by definition is one where we're going is that If I |
|
|
73:56 | a well log and I had a interface at 1000 m depth, then |
|
|
74:03 | where should I see that interface in ? So I've got an interface at |
|
|
74:10 | m depth. I've got a standard surface. If I whack the |
|
|
74:15 | when's the echo gonna come back a ? Yeah, 1000 milliseconds. So |
|
|
74:22 | the quick, here's the quick look that you can amaze all of your |
|
|
74:27 | and petrology and everybody else friends, slaps a section down and it's a |
|
|
74:32 | section in time and it says 1200 and all the engineers on everybody looks |
|
|
74:36 | says, what the hell is And you say, well, it's |
|
|
74:39 | around 1200 m deep. Oh, do you know? I guess we |
|
|
74:43 | need a geophysicist here. Hm. so there's a there's a little mapping |
|
|
74:51 | easy for a standard near surface that time we see in a seismic section |
|
|
74:58 | milliseconds is approximately the depth in So anywhere around here, the velocity |
|
|
75:18 | the near surface around here down on 1000 m is somewhere around 2000 m |
|
|
75:25 | 2nd, 7000 ft per second. the sediments around here are something like |
|
|
75:30 | . They're, they're kind of loosely plastic sediments. So if you slap |
|
|
75:36 | section on my desk and I could a reflection at 1000 milliseconds or one |
|
|
75:43 | , I'd immediately tell you that's around m deep because we know that |
|
|
75:51 | the, the geology around here is similar and that um most of it |
|
|
75:58 | somewhat less consolidated plastic. OK. um that's just a little device. |
|
|
76:16 | , if I'm looking through salt or it's carbon in the surface or I'm |
|
|
76:20 | the Middle East or some other all bets are off, the velocity |
|
|
76:23 | different. So if, if I in the Middle East and it was |
|
|
76:28 | carbonate rate to the surface, which about three times as fast then, |
|
|
76:33 | I saw a reflection at one 100 say 1000 milliseconds, one second |
|
|
76:40 | goes three times as fast. It three times as far. So that's |
|
|
76:43 | be at 3000 m, not, 1000 m, but for around |
|
|
76:49 | for most plastic stuff, that's just little thing so that you can do |
|
|
76:53 | fast. Now, if you look the slide here and we're looking at |
|
|
76:58 | near surface, this is a plastic . So the time is in |
|
|
77:05 | So I've got 600 milliseconds. When you guess? How deep do you |
|
|
77:09 | that is approximately at 600 milliseconds? . So 600. So it should |
|
|
77:19 | somewhere around 600 m deep. if we go across, we |
|
|
77:23 | well, it's just over 500 m , but we were in the |
|
|
77:28 | it's not 2000 m deep. And this is not perfectly 2000 m meter |
|
|
77:34 | second, but we got pretty So I said that 600 milliseconds two |
|
|
77:40 | time was approximately 600 m deep. , it's 5 20. So |
|
|
77:47 | I got close now to be Obviously, we're gonna be different. |
|
|
77:51 | just to get you in the game . When somebody puts a picture in |
|
|
77:54 | of you, it's also a way QC yourself. So when I'm looking |
|
|
78:00 | data all the time, I'm trying second guess my opinion and make sure |
|
|
78:05 | got the units right or try to if something's messed up. And so |
|
|
78:10 | is just one of the things that cross check. So once again, |
|
|
78:17 | in this case, we've got our from depth on the right to time |
|
|
78:23 | the left. And now my interpretation shifting all to time. I've converted |
|
|
78:27 | my logs into a uniformly sampled And most geophysicists do their first blush |
|
|
78:34 | interpretation in time because that's the way size my kids and we paid, |
|
|
78:41 | , we paid for all this So we've got to interpret it. |
|
|
78:46 | . And the way we're going to it is first blush through comparing the |
|
|
78:52 | in time. I can just take logs and just compare them. And |
|
|
78:56 | I know what seismic is, I kind of say, well, here's |
|
|
79:00 | positive impedance change that should give rise a positive reflectivity. And I go |
|
|
79:07 | here and sure enough, there's a black positive spike. So after a |
|
|
79:13 | I don't even need the synthetic seism . I can kind of do this |
|
|
79:16 | my mind and say, OK, an impedance increase here. That should |
|
|
79:21 | a a big black spike. there it is or there's an impedance |
|
|
79:31 | here. I expect a trough. if I go across here, the |
|
|
79:35 | area, I see a trophy in . So we're just manipulating these logs |
|
|
79:44 | our mind. But if I want see the true seismic response because it |
|
|
79:47 | will surprise us because when I convolve this stuff, when I low past |
|
|
79:52 | , it, it can look a bit different. So I do that |
|
|
79:55 | then directly compare the blue synthetic to red, which is just a repeat |
|
|
80:01 | one of the black traces. So we go. OK. That makes |
|
|
80:12 | . So now let's, let's think that was kind of a one D |
|
|
80:17 | synthetic seo gram. And that's the thing that everybody is gonna do to |
|
|
80:21 | seismic two D or 3D. But we're gonna look at this a little |
|
|
80:26 | more detail and think of, exactly what causes that seismic response. |
|
|
80:35 | we imagine that we built a velocity density model and then I've set off |
|
|
80:39 | shot in the middle of it. , I'm gonna look at how the |
|
|
80:41 | propagate. And so we can imagine set up a shot and the wave |
|
|
80:50 | to go down into the earth. we could get as complicated as we |
|
|
81:00 | , you know, in this we've just got our simple P wave |
|
|
81:03 | down into the earth and there's also kind of shear wave afterward and there's |
|
|
81:11 | kind of direct wave between them, this is uh in depth and |
|
|
81:17 | So this is just um as you see the wave propagate in the |
|
|
81:25 | we could measure what's the vertical particle or we could measure what's the horizontal |
|
|
81:32 | particle motion inside the earth. when we, if there's an interface |
|
|
81:38 | here, then the P wave is bounce back some of it's gonna |
|
|
81:46 | So here's the P wave bouncing back the interface here is it's propagating, |
|
|
81:51 | transmitted as we would see the vertical and the horizontal motion So once |
|
|
82:00 | we've gone, there's an interface at m depth. So the P wave |
|
|
82:08 | gonna go down. Sugar wave is go down, then it hits it |
|
|
82:15 | wave bounces back and transmits through the wave bounces back and also transmits |
|
|
82:24 | I can look at the vertical motion the horizontal motion. Now, even |
|
|
82:31 | the simple case with uh with the here, the energy has gone |
|
|
82:36 | it's transmitted through, it's reflected that reflects off the surface and comes down |
|
|
82:42 | . And so in pretty short you get a real mass, everything |
|
|
82:47 | shaking, it's a bowl full of and that's true. And so that's |
|
|
82:54 | surface sizer processing tries to disentangle and a picture out of all this |
|
|
82:59 | And unfortunately, the primary reflection, first reflection is the biggest. So |
|
|
83:07 | helps us, these reflections off the are multi paths or multi poles and |
|
|
83:17 | confuse the story. But, but real, so we in surface seismic |
|
|
83:31 | , we're gonna just uh have a of different techniques to get rid of |
|
|
83:37 | . OK. So that's what we is really happening in the earth. |
|
|
83:40 | if I can drill a hole in , I will see these waves pass |
|
|
83:46 | the and that's where we're going because , if we process the surface that's |
|
|
83:52 | surface seismic, but that's a different of your courses. Yeah, if |
|
|
83:57 | put receivers in the well here then a borehole measurement and that's a borehole |
|
|
84:04 | or a vertical seismic profile or an situ seismology. And that's for |
|
|
84:14 | But we can also think of this different way if I had receivers on |
|
|
84:19 | surface. Now I can plot what each of those receivers on the surface |
|
|
84:27 | from that previous wave propagation or that modeling. And now we can see |
|
|
84:35 | the strictly on the surface, there's wave that propagates across the surface. |
|
|
84:41 | we see that here it takes longer get there the farther I go |
|
|
84:44 | that's the direct arrival, there's a , of course, the rail wave |
|
|
84:49 | bound to the surface that's got a elliptical motion. That's this guy coming |
|
|
84:56 | , takes longer to get to further . And then of course, we've |
|
|
85:00 | the reflections coming up different subsurface. we can see that that's that cool |
|
|
85:07 | here and then there's p and there's wave and there's pure sheer. So |
|
|
85:14 | got all these different wave types now in offset and time. OK. |
|
|
85:25 | we've, we've looked at, um looked at different concepts of how the |
|
|
85:42 | are bouncing around and now let's go the well, and we'll start to |
|
|
86:09 | stuff inside the well. So I laughing that this is a friend of |
|
|
86:18 | daughter and she's now in 2nd Year . So this was a while |
|
|
86:27 | So your little one will soon be university, believe it or not |
|
|
86:33 | Yeah, I know. But when look at her this, she's |
|
|
86:39 | I guess, 21 years old and a lot of her own opinions |
|
|
86:49 | So we're looking at, uh, we're, we've talked a little bit |
|
|
86:54 | the logs, we understand the the rock properties. We've also talked |
|
|
86:58 | , about, um, getting a in the surface and the waves propagate |
|
|
87:04 | the, in the surface, the and bounce back. We're gonna move |
|
|
87:11 | uh borehole seismic because we now need tie our well logs to the most |
|
|
87:18 | surface seismic methods which are seismic. we, we were looking at one |
|
|
87:27 | to link the log properties to the that's by a simulation which is good |
|
|
87:32 | synthetic seism grams. You can see they work pretty well. But there |
|
|
87:37 | a lot of aspects that uh need too because the synthetic seism gram is |
|
|
87:42 | real seismic data. And there are lot of assumptions in it. So |
|
|
87:48 | would like to get a real seismic between the rock properties and circum |
|
|
87:57 | And that's what the V S P whole size was used for. And |
|
|
88:01 | are different names BS PB Seismic in , meaning inside seismology. Well, |
|
|
88:10 | Moral geophysics and then a former student mine, uh Sam's son published this |
|
|
88:18 | on borehole seismic BS P in If Utah is there, he could |
|
|
88:24 | read the title are you there? guess. So you when you read |
|
|
88:33 | title in Chinese, yeah, just from Chinese, it's called. So |
|
|
88:46 | the three dimension two component, both math of the V S P master |
|
|
88:52 | its application. Perfect. Thank Thank you. OK, so uh |
|
|
89:00 | , you can see here um uh the name of the method in |
|
|
89:07 | So that's kind of fun. Uh are, there are a number |
|
|
89:11 | of books again on V S Uh This is probably the most recent |
|
|
89:19 | . So there hasn't been anything out about 10 years on V S P |
|
|
89:25 | I'm aware of. But, I would say that this is one |
|
|
89:30 | published a long time ago when I a graduate actually just after grad school |
|
|
89:36 | I was trying to find a copy it because it was published way a |
|
|
89:40 | time ago and I was really happy see that somebody was selling a copy |
|
|
89:44 | something like I think six or Oh, wow. I thought, |
|
|
89:50 | . I like that. Um, , I didn't buy it. I |
|
|
89:56 | somebody else did but I was searching , uh I was searching uh, |
|
|
90:07 | week or two ago to see if can land another copy. And sure |
|
|
90:11 | I did find one. Uh, happy to say that I didn't, |
|
|
90:19 | didn't pay that much for it. , I, I'd, I'd had |
|
|
90:24 | copy or two but I hadn't uh , they got lost or some place |
|
|
90:29 | some move. But here's the basic . Once again that uh with the |
|
|
90:34 | S P we imagine that we've got seismic source, we've got our seismic |
|
|
90:46 | and we shake the earth somehow. now we have a borehole and we're |
|
|
90:51 | put geophones or motion sensors or, distribute acoustic systems or accelerometers or some |
|
|
90:58 | sensing device in the well. so the whole concept. We gotta create |
|
|
91:05 | vibration somehow, a mechanical vibration that's disturb the, the ocean or |
|
|
91:11 | the sediments a little bit. And amount of disruption with um with our |
|
|
91:16 | seismic waves is on the order of micron. It's not very big, |
|
|
91:20 | just a very, very minute vibration the earth and then it's gonna propagate |
|
|
91:28 | the earth and rattle around and, then we're going to detect that motion |
|
|
91:33 | the well with our receiver. we can uh we can do all |
|
|
91:41 | of different geometries and it all looks . They all have different names, |
|
|
91:47 | there's, they're just different ways to the source and receiver and why um |
|
|
91:55 | they're all given a name is because name uh describes something about the |
|
|
92:01 | But it um it also describes uh much it's gonna cost you. So |
|
|
92:13 | can see here that a checks shot , you only put a couple of |
|
|
92:20 | in the well and it's just checking velocity to uh to different depths. |
|
|
92:40 | zero offset means that we're dealing generally a one dimensional material and that the |
|
|
92:49 | is quite close to the well So by zero offset, it's just |
|
|
92:54 | that the source is close to the head. But it also sort of |
|
|
92:59 | that everything is one dimensional that, the earth is flat and that it's |
|
|
93:05 | of like a, it's sort of a well log that everything is vertical |
|
|
93:10 | and one dimensional pretty simple a walk as you can see is when the |
|
|
93:15 | is right above the receiver, uh V S P. The other big |
|
|
93:19 | means that the source is substantially So now we have to take into |
|
|
93:25 | offset effects and you can see the kinds of names With the offset |
|
|
93:38 | We kind of imagine that the world still one D one dimensional. But |
|
|
93:46 | I can make a bit of a away from the bore hole because the |
|
|
93:49 | point is away from the borehole. I start to look at 3D, |
|
|
93:57 | could have shots anywhere. And now gonna be able to reconstruct a three |
|
|
94:03 | , not just a one or a dimensional picture, but actually a 0D |
|
|
94:09 | . And the different geometries once get different names walk around in the |
|
|
94:13 | case, walk away walk above. One that is a little bit different |
|
|
94:20 | the reverse of E S P, means that I put a source in |
|
|
94:23 | well, and I have receivers on surface. So those are all the |
|
|
94:32 | kinds of geometries that we can We have. Um So by walk |
|
|
94:37 | , we imagine that there's sources that going away from or walking away from |
|
|
94:43 | well head. And you could see this can give a, a set |
|
|
94:49 | waves that are simply shown here. now we start to look at what |
|
|
94:58 | we going to record from the So we saw there that we can |
|
|
95:06 | that the, the source is vibrating shaking or impulsing energy is gonna come |
|
|
95:14 | and that's going to hit the borehole our measurements are gonna be made at |
|
|
95:18 | borehole. Likewise, energy is gonna down and hit a reflector and bounce |
|
|
95:26 | and will, will grabbed out of borehole too. Now, for the |
|
|
95:31 | S P, there's something that's pretty . You can see that some of |
|
|
95:38 | waves are captured when they're going down some of these waves are captured when |
|
|
95:42 | going up. So we've got downgoing and we've got upgoing waves and we're |
|
|
95:53 | use both of them. The downgoing are gonna tell us about transmission |
|
|
95:58 | The upgoing waves are gonna tell us reflection properties. So those are both |
|
|
96:03 | to us. So once again, could imagine if depth was increasing this |
|
|
96:13 | and with V S P it's, plotted always in a lot of different |
|
|
96:19 | . So you gotta, gotta put head on the side, stand on |
|
|
96:23 | hands, do all kinds of different to, to understand what's going |
|
|
96:30 | Once again, we have to always at the scales and the units to |
|
|
96:35 | out what is happening. So we've depth going into the earth like |
|
|
96:39 | We imagine that there's been a shot the surface and that energy is going |
|
|
96:45 | the earth. So we imagine the goes into the earth. That's the |
|
|
97:01 | wave. And then at different it's going to hit an interface and |
|
|
97:08 | back to the surface. So energy gone into the earth and bounced |
|
|
97:14 | It's gone into the earth bounced back the earth deeper and bounce back. |
|
|
97:24 | this is basically a shot gather as can imagine that I had receivers all |
|
|
97:33 | way down in the earth and I a shot and this is what each |
|
|
97:39 | would see. OK. So we can model that we can take |
|
|
97:53 | . Now plotted the other way we have a log. And we could |
|
|
97:59 | if I look at the actual we've got actual offset, actual |
|
|
98:07 | a log in depth. I can shooting. And here's my energy that's |
|
|
98:11 | into the earth. So this is propagation in the herb and this is |
|
|
98:24 | we would see. And I'm having little trouble seeing because it's allergy season |
|
|
98:35 | it makes my eyes go crazy. . Today was very, very |
|
|
98:44 | Yeah. Yeah. It's, we're told that it's happening earlier this |
|
|
98:52 | . I, I could have told that a few days ago, for |
|
|
98:55 | . Oh, yeah. Do you some allergies or? No? |
|
|
99:01 | I do. And it's, I really only have seasonal allergies but |
|
|
99:06 | , it's this season so, you know what? I, I |
|
|
99:10 | never had, I never had seasonal um until coming to Houston and, |
|
|
99:18 | it doesn't affect anything with me except eyes and my eyes go crazy different |
|
|
99:25 | . Um Thank God for Zortec Yeah, there we go. So |
|
|
99:35 | but back to this. So when looking at data in depth, if |
|
|
99:40 | had a receiver in depth, this the kind of information I would |
|
|
99:45 | It's taking longer to get in depth we can see in the right. |
|
|
99:49 | that's my direct downgoing wave in depth then it's hitting interfaces and bouncing back |
|
|
99:55 | the surface. So if I had GEO phone right at the surface, |
|
|
99:59 | going to see the direct arrival, primary reflection and a primary reflection. |
|
|
100:05 | this receiving in the surface is our we know and love from surface |
|
|
100:09 | But now we get to see how whole wave field is propagating in the |
|
|
100:13 | and how it's bouncing around. And on the, on the right |
|
|
100:18 | it's just showing what the wave field really look like inside the earth. |
|
|
100:23 | it's propagating all the way down. , but that then of course, |
|
|
100:32 | back, giving us these guys, two different ways to look at and |
|
|
100:37 | to understand what the V S P . Then inside the uh the G |
|
|
100:48 | that we have in the V S typically has a vertical sensor and a |
|
|
100:53 | sensor. And we get, we get the, the different components of |
|
|
101:01 | wa field as measured either in the sensor or the horizontal sensor. And |
|
|
101:06 | got those all the way down the . And you can see that. |
|
|
101:18 | , we're thinking that there's not just compression wave that's going down, there's |
|
|
101:22 | a shear wave that's going down And so we measure that shear wave |
|
|
101:25 | the vertical sensor as well as on horizontal sensor. So we really have |
|
|
101:34 | full V SPS or three because normally have a three component GEO and a |
|
|
101:40 | and two horizontals. So there's at depth we've got a measurement. So |
|
|
101:45 | fact, we've got three shot gathers , horizontal, one and horizontal |
|
|
101:52 | So I've got three data sets for shot good. Let's take a quick |
|
|
102:01 | , Stephanie and then we'll come back finish off for about half an |
|
|
102:04 | So let's just take five and we'll it about four and then come back |
|
|
102:08 | do four V S P Ok, you. All right. See you |
|
|
102:12 | a bit. Ok, great. , we're talking uh about general ideas |
|
|
102:24 | the V S P and the general being, uh, something that |
|
|
102:29 | disturbs or mechanically alters the surface or it. Um, in terms of |
|
|
102:36 | , there are lots of different sources we use. The first one is |
|
|
102:40 | called impulsive and impulsive means that there's one big whack or, or hit |
|
|
102:46 | something like that or explosion. So not uh a continuous shake. It's |
|
|
102:55 | one um disturbance. So impulsive is off uh dynamite. And you can |
|
|
103:03 | the guy here, he's got um I probably five lbs of dynamite. |
|
|
103:11 | these, these guys get screwed together each and then you put a little |
|
|
103:15 | cap in it. He's got his cap. And so that is an |
|
|
103:20 | sources. The, the standard shot to be £5 at 50 ft, |
|
|
103:26 | is an awful lot of dynamite. , uh smaller charges are often used |
|
|
103:32 | they're just less dangerous and uh less . And then there's a compressed air |
|
|
103:39 | that could just accelerate a plate. Another one that's uh this was compressed |
|
|
103:45 | that would um that would put drive , drive a plate down. So |
|
|
103:55 | are all impulsive sources that are used the seismic world. Dynamite is still |
|
|
104:00 | quite a bit in, in various . Uh It's a great source |
|
|
104:04 | it just produces one nice big And so that's easy to interpret. |
|
|
104:08 | so uh dynamite is pretty good. Although it is dangerous and uh those |
|
|
104:19 | who've worked in the field with dynamite usually had one or two close calls |
|
|
104:23 | some kind of myself included. um better not to work with |
|
|
104:31 | Um Then the other, our other source, of course, on land |
|
|
104:36 | uh the vibe, the vibratory And in this case, we have |
|
|
104:43 | some kind of method of putting down a base plate and shaking the base |
|
|
104:48 | . And those guys come in smaller like this one, which is similar |
|
|
104:53 | the one that we have at the . In fact, this is ours |
|
|
104:57 | the university. And uh then you put a lot of them together if |
|
|
105:02 | want to get a much deeper uh or a lot more energy into the |
|
|
105:08 | . So in this case, it's and it sweeps or moves through a |
|
|
105:13 | of different frequencies and that's maybe over course of uh 15 seconds. And |
|
|
105:22 | you want to do that is you put a lot of energy into the |
|
|
105:27 | , but you don't have to do all at once. So when we |
|
|
105:36 | up all the energy that's put in ground, it might be the energy |
|
|
105:41 | of setting off a lot of But we haven't damaged the, the |
|
|
105:50 | or waste a lot of energy in rearranging the near surface. We've |
|
|
105:55 | a fairly low amplitude but vibratory sweep the earth and then we can just |
|
|
106:01 | afterward and make it look like it dynamite. So that's the beauty of |
|
|
106:06 | vibe. In fact, I was on the uh the Langseth ship |
|
|
106:15 | Which is um a big vessel. the main National Science Foundation, the |
|
|
106:19 | American uh science ship around 70 m . So it's um what 250 ft |
|
|
106:27 | ship. So it's around almost as as a football field. Uh I |
|
|
106:34 | have a chance to post the but um we went down yesterday and |
|
|
106:38 | a look at it and they have air guns. So in the marine |
|
|
106:43 | , which will show you put release air in the water, but they |
|
|
106:50 | a lot of backflips to satisfy environmental constraints. So in other words, |
|
|
106:59 | uh you have to let the hair , air guns hiss for a little |
|
|
107:02 | . If there are any marine fish or anything turtles around, then |
|
|
107:07 | they'll clear out if they don't like . But there are a lot of |
|
|
107:13 | jurisdictions that just say, you know , you can't do any seismic shooting |
|
|
107:16 | , including the east coast of the . We don't care what you |
|
|
107:20 | The answer is no, whatever your is, the answer is no. |
|
|
107:26 | uh so there's a big push to to figure out. Well, how |
|
|
107:30 | we gently put energy into the ocean that it doesn't even begin to think |
|
|
107:38 | disturbing mammal populations or anything else. the only real way to do that |
|
|
107:45 | to do it slowly and gently over period of time. So people are |
|
|
107:51 | to develop a marine vibrating source that be low amplitude, not irritating and |
|
|
107:58 | do that for a long time and correlate it and make it look like |
|
|
108:02 | big big big bang. So that's , that's part of the idea. |
|
|
108:07 | hasn't um, hasn't really caught on . But um just looking at the |
|
|
108:16 | of the tar, the tallest they typically have three wildlife observers on |
|
|
108:20 | to look for any whales, anything all. And um and then they'll |
|
|
108:26 | or change their shooting to uh accommodate . So once again, here's |
|
|
108:32 | uh here's the kind of marine an impulsive source where you have a |
|
|
108:37 | air and you've got some air uh devices. So you compress the air |
|
|
108:44 | then just let it uh go into ocean and just compressed air that causes |
|
|
108:48 | bubble and then the bubble is a and that travels through the, the |
|
|
108:52 | column and into the sub bottom and and reflects. Then we have streamers |
|
|
108:58 | or hydrophones or pressure sensitive devices and record the ref reflections or in our |
|
|
109:04 | , the borehole, we're gonna put tool in the borehole and record these |
|
|
109:09 | air gun sources. So that's the idea. Um And we can see |
|
|
109:19 | with 2020 vision. So we've got , well, we're gonna have the |
|
|
109:25 | and grab all the waves that are in the well. So how do |
|
|
109:31 | receive the data? Well, it's our simplest case is with a multiple |
|
|
109:36 | GE phone. So we're gonna put tool in the, well, and |
|
|
109:42 | one son, son, um such , in this case, it's uh |
|
|
109:54 | like to affix the tool to the wall somehow. Just so when the |
|
|
110:03 | is propagating through the earth, we grab it with the tool and we |
|
|
110:07 | do that a few ways. Just the mechanical arm, the mechanical arm |
|
|
110:11 | the receiver to the uh to well, if I'm in a cased |
|
|
110:17 | , and it's iron that I could have a rotating magnet and turn on |
|
|
110:21 | electromagnet and then attract the tool to uh steel casing by an electromagnet. |
|
|
110:29 | one way or the other, we like to get this tool affixed to |
|
|
110:36 | whole wall so that we could record vibrations. And then ideally, we'll |
|
|
110:43 | a lot of them so that we put a lot of them in |
|
|
110:47 | in the well and then shoot once acquire that data all the time just |
|
|
110:51 | one time. So if I've got five level tool, I'm gonna shoot |
|
|
110:57 | , move shoot, record move and gonna have to shoot and only record |
|
|
111:03 | traces. If I had 100 level , I could just shoot and record |
|
|
111:07 | the traces at once. So that's better. Yeah, of course, |
|
|
111:14 | level tool is gonna be more expensive a five level tool. So Most |
|
|
111:20 | the tools now are gonna be at 11 levels. So you're not in |
|
|
111:24 | well, too long because remember that got the, well, and I've |
|
|
111:29 | instruments and if I'm logging, it some time to log. And so |
|
|
111:35 | means that the, the drill rig to be still on site and it |
|
|
111:41 | be $10,000 a day or if I'm , it's $1 million dollars a |
|
|
111:51 | a million a day for a drill . Wow. Yeah. So, |
|
|
112:01 | , you can't fool around. So not even really the instrument that or |
|
|
112:08 | recording or all the geophysics. That's the expense. The expense is just |
|
|
112:13 | rig or the vessel. So typically we're making these logging measurements or E |
|
|
112:22 | P people want you to get in do your work and get out of |
|
|
112:27 | . So that's, that's part of deal. So some people always |
|
|
112:35 | wonder why geophysicists are always in a in the field. Why are GE |
|
|
112:42 | always in a hurry in the field them money? Yeah, because you've |
|
|
112:50 | got all this equipment and there are there are a lot of things about |
|
|
112:55 | equipment. Number one, the equipment effectively costing you, you want to |
|
|
113:01 | it in use all the time, it does cost you also, when |
|
|
113:09 | doing stuff, when you finally get working, you want to continue to |
|
|
113:14 | because you're always afraid that something's gonna and go down and you're not gonna |
|
|
113:20 | data. So once you get everything , let's just keep going, keep |
|
|
113:25 | , keep going, keep going because gonna break, something's up, something's |
|
|
113:29 | go wrong soon. And so don't . So that's the other thing. |
|
|
113:36 | then often we're using power supplies one or the other. You're filling up |
|
|
113:39 | , you're doing something, you're using . And so you're typically a little |
|
|
113:45 | in the field because it's expensive. got people clearly you don't want things |
|
|
113:51 | break and go down and you're, , you're using resources, whether it's |
|
|
113:56 | or storage or some little thing. always concerned that, um, you've |
|
|
114:01 | people and equipment and power and storage everything going on. So you want |
|
|
114:05 | do your job well, because you aren't going to get a chance to |
|
|
114:08 | out there again. So you don't because in the well location, the |
|
|
114:13 | on site. So in a day two, because the holes drilled down |
|
|
114:19 | day or two, they're probably gonna to demobilize. So you've got this |
|
|
114:24 | where you have to get the job , it has to be done pretty |
|
|
114:28 | and you're not gonna get a chance do it again. So don't screw |
|
|
114:34 | . So those are the uh head the field requirements. So, uh |
|
|
114:41 | that all goes ok. And people lots of practice and obviously things do |
|
|
114:45 | up every once in a while and the way it is. Sorry. |
|
|
114:54 | that's how we make the measurement. then, like I was saying, |
|
|
114:57 | going to have planned it before. What kind of tools are we going |
|
|
115:00 | use? Uh How deep do they to go? So, for |
|
|
115:05 | the simple things, how big is well itself, uh I gotta get |
|
|
115:09 | right size of tool. If I to clamp to the formation, then |
|
|
115:12 | have to have an arm that will so far enough, simple, |
|
|
115:16 | practical thing. If it happens to a very warm well, a hot |
|
|
115:20 | , then I need to know that instruments will stand that temperature if we're |
|
|
115:25 | pretty deep. And if we're gonna down really deep, can the instruments |
|
|
115:29 | that kind of pressure? So for wells, of course, none of |
|
|
115:34 | is such a big deal. But we start to get more extreme |
|
|
115:37 | deeper wells, hotter wells, caustic , H two S wells, all |
|
|
115:43 | kind of stuff. Uh We have plan for those eventualities. So |
|
|
115:52 | we often call this the original, was called a vertical seismic profile because |
|
|
115:56 | the day, almost all of our were vertical. Sorry, my thing |
|
|
116:04 | mute. Yeah. Yeah. So everything was vertical. So we called |
|
|
116:09 | seismic, a vertical seismic measurement, vertical seismic profile. Well as we |
|
|
116:15 | in the US right now, almost the wells end up being horizontal. |
|
|
116:24 | most whales will start off vertically in life, but they will deviate and |
|
|
116:29 | horizontal shortly thereafter. So while everything to be vertical in it, that's |
|
|
116:36 | easy to understand. And we still uh measurements in the vertical parts of |
|
|
116:42 | horizontal. Well, before it kicks and goes horizontal, uh most of |
|
|
116:49 | wells end up being horizontal now and still make measurements inside them. Now |
|
|
116:56 | get tools inside the well, we have to put it on coiled tubing |
|
|
117:02 | we might have to have a sensor the drilling color right by the drill |
|
|
117:08 | or you might have to tractor it where there's a little device that will |
|
|
117:13 | and drag the tools in. So are all kinds of different ways that |
|
|
117:17 | can get a seismic or a motion in the well, now what we |
|
|
117:24 | , we can start to see here on the right is we've got depth |
|
|
117:36 | then, and the upper part and shell section, we just gonna maybe |
|
|
117:41 | a shot every Um sparse location, every a couple 100 m which I |
|
|
117:48 | because then we don't get very well data. But then you might start |
|
|
117:53 | sample much more closely in the areas interest. And you can see what |
|
|
117:58 | what kind of information you get with different types of sampling. Clearly. |
|
|
118:02 | we're sampling more closely vertically, when got a lot more traces, then |
|
|
118:06 | can see much more of what, happening with multiples and with reflections. |
|
|
118:12 | when we sample really intensely, then start to see all the waves and |
|
|
118:16 | get much, much better resolution. can understand better. I can process |
|
|
118:21 | . So as always as geophysicists, want more data. And that's why |
|
|
118:33 | engineers, other people get mad at because that's all we want. All |
|
|
118:37 | guys wanna do is spend money and too much time. OK? |
|
|
118:45 | we'll get it right and you guys don't get it right. So there |
|
|
118:48 | go. So in terms of when happens, typically the V S P |
|
|
118:56 | , will drill the well, uh got casing in the top, it |
|
|
119:00 | be open hole on the bottom and we're going to do all of our |
|
|
119:04 | . And then the V S P typically come after that. So we |
|
|
119:08 | make the measurement encased well or in hole. And then ultimately, if |
|
|
119:16 | well is case, we can still measurements inside the casing which the uh |
|
|
119:21 | drilling engineers would prefer because they don't instruments going in uncased wells just in |
|
|
119:27 | they get caught or stuck or something . So, um, that's |
|
|
119:35 | Now, if we wanted to uh permanent monitoring, we might and take |
|
|
119:42 | instruments and even cement them in the , the outside of casing, which |
|
|
119:48 | more and more now with fiber for optics. In this case, we're |
|
|
119:56 | installing um G phones outside of casing then somatic men and you can see |
|
|
120:08 | standard kind of uh drilling and, logging operation here. And then we |
|
|
120:14 | we arranging all the instruments to put the well and uh cement it outside |
|
|
120:20 | but in the well, so that can make all these measurements. |
|
|
120:27 | So what do we, uh what we really want? The BS P |
|
|
120:30 | ? And here are a couple of original ones we talked about integrating or |
|
|
120:34 | the Sonic log to get time to , which is one way that we |
|
|
120:40 | get that time to depth relationship. it's a little bit funky because the |
|
|
120:44 | log might have problems in some place another. And it only measures really |
|
|
120:48 | to the well. So the most way to get a time to depth |
|
|
120:53 | for seismic analysis is from the DS . We just have a size, |
|
|
120:59 | just have a phone at different depths then we just whack the surface and |
|
|
121:03 | measure the time it takes to get that depth So that's the true seismic |
|
|
121:08 | to death from the DS P. that, just from knowing the energy |
|
|
121:15 | arrives at this depth and the, time it takes to get to this |
|
|
121:18 | , we can take the interval, depth change, the time change. |
|
|
121:23 | that gives us an interval velocity. we can calculate interval velocities pretty |
|
|
121:28 | We might want to know something about . How does the energy decrease in |
|
|
121:34 | as we go deeper? That can an attenuation or a Q A quality |
|
|
121:41 | calculation. And then uh you if we walk source away, we |
|
|
121:53 | get some ideas about the directional dependence velocities. And so we like to |
|
|
121:58 | that too. So we from the from the V S P, we're |
|
|
122:04 | gonna make another log. It's gonna a velocity log and attenuation log and |
|
|
122:09 | going to look like any of our logs except it's gonna be a little |
|
|
122:14 | more sparse with normal well logs. did we say that there was a |
|
|
122:20 | every what interval or what depth when look at the well log all the |
|
|
122:28 | points in the well log is that , somewhere around the foot. So |
|
|
122:35 | , so the well logs are output value about every foot. The VSP |
|
|
122:42 | the receivers are spaced about 30 ft . So it's really out putting a |
|
|
122:49 | about every 30 ft or something like . So vertically speaking, it's much |
|
|
122:56 | resolved. It's still a log, it's a very low resolution seismic |
|
|
123:06 | Then we're interested in um in that like any other log. But also |
|
|
123:11 | now we're trying to understand surface we're trying to understand if I go |
|
|
123:15 | shoot a big five survey with surface . Um what's happening in the sub |
|
|
123:23 | , you know, the service receivers , are getting all the echoes, |
|
|
123:27 | I have to infer what's happening in subsurface with the V S P. |
|
|
123:31 | actually got G phones inside the earth I can see inside the earth what's |
|
|
123:38 | . So that gives me ideas about source signature, uh what's happening with |
|
|
123:43 | the multi pathing. And then I also start to look at walkway effects |
|
|
123:48 | get the amplitude versus offset A V responses. So which, which you've |
|
|
123:57 | five courses already? Stephanie. sir. So which ones did you |
|
|
124:03 | ? You had? Um I I think it was seismic wave theory |
|
|
124:10 | Doctor Thompson, uh rock physics with um I think it was seismic interpretation |
|
|
124:19 | doctor and uh the potential field methods Doctor Bird, right? OK. |
|
|
124:29 | , good. Well, um hopefully seen some of this stuff a few |
|
|
124:34 | and it continues to sink in and no shame in that. I have |
|
|
124:38 | some of this stuff at least 50 and I'm still trying to learn |
|
|
124:46 | Yeah, Doctor Z's class kind of me a little bit. That one |
|
|
124:50 | a lot of seismic. So, . Well, and, and you |
|
|
124:56 | into a lot of the, um little details and when you're a seismic |
|
|
125:00 | and you're doing research or processing or , you really are in the |
|
|
125:06 | you know, that's, that's where is. You're, you're trying to |
|
|
125:10 | coax out little little details and so want to um do everything you |
|
|
125:18 | But um and in, in a , the V S P sort of |
|
|
125:21 | some of that. So now we're getting these rock properties from |
|
|
125:25 | We're getting logs, we're getting to how waves propagate. But we're also |
|
|
125:32 | this uh interpretation that takes well logs seismic. And so we, we're |
|
|
125:39 | see again how to uh how to all that. Then the other big |
|
|
125:46 | is that we have, we want make a picture. I'm trying to |
|
|
125:49 | a picture of the subsurface. And , the world doesn't really care what |
|
|
125:53 | of picture it is. Just give a picture that shows where, what |
|
|
125:57 | rocks are, what's their geometry and in them and how do I get |
|
|
126:01 | . So give me a picture that me that that's, that's our |
|
|
126:08 | And so the V S P is technique that allows us to, to |
|
|
126:13 | a picture. Now, there are lot of reasons why we do want |
|
|
126:30 | put the uh the receivers inside the . And one of the big reasons |
|
|
126:40 | that it's just a lot quieter. if we, if we look at |
|
|
126:47 | the vibrations that are happening in the , there's surface waves propagating along, |
|
|
126:52 | , there's traffic, there's all kinds stuff happening. But if I go |
|
|
127:01 | deeper into the well into the then a lot of that cultural |
|
|
127:06 | um industrial noise, environmental noise, that stuff has been damped out and |
|
|
127:12 | not propagating. So down deep, very little vibration happening artificially. So |
|
|
127:20 | ambient or environmental noise is much, smaller and here's just one such |
|
|
127:27 | And do you remember the DB I know it's like decibels but I |
|
|
127:37 | remember like the specific scale. it's just a, it's a, |
|
|
127:42 | just a faster way to give a that expresses a ratio. So that's |
|
|
127:49 | it is. It's just really the of a ratio. So with the |
|
|
127:53 | scale, you're, it's always two . It's how much bigger or smaller |
|
|
127:59 | one thing compared to another thing. explicitly, it's amplitude one over amplitude |
|
|
128:13 | , the logarithm, the logarithm of based 10 about that times minus |
|
|
128:19 | So what it means is that say here, We would say that at |
|
|
128:30 | ft deep, the noise is 60 less than at the surface. And |
|
|
128:39 | what does that mean? It just that the surface amplitude over the moral |
|
|
128:47 | is 10 to the third, the base 10 of 10 to the third |
|
|
128:51 | just three. We just take the for the base 10 and that's minus |
|
|
128:56 | . So minus 60 DB means it's , 1000, the value of the |
|
|
129:06 | , Which is incredible. So it's times more noisy on the surface in |
|
|
129:11 | area than it is at 900 m feet. So if I wanted to |
|
|
129:19 | get a much better reading Of what's I'm trying to do a tele seismic |
|
|
129:26 | receive uh an earthquake. Then by my receiver down 900 ft it's |
|
|
129:33 | way, way quieter and I should able to receive much, much smaller |
|
|
129:39 | and get them. So here's why we do this one? Suppose the |
|
|
129:43 | owns 150 ft underground. How, the noise level? What's the relative |
|
|
129:51 | level? isn't it just that 40? Yeah, but then convert |
|
|
129:57 | to the actual amplitude differences. Oh So at 150, it's for |
|
|
130:20 | So surface sample and I just tried . That was say that the borehole |
|
|
130:35 | the surface amplitude is, well, the borehole amplitude is one. |
|
|
130:41 | What's the surface amplitude to be How much bigger is the surface amplitude |
|
|
130:47 | the borehole amplitude? Oh, 1000 ? Is that what you're saying? |
|
|
130:53 | , that was that one specifically? , for this one specifically, I |
|
|
130:57 | the J phones at 150 ft How much more quiet is that than |
|
|
131:03 | surface? So, if about 150 I've got a noise level of |
|
|
131:14 | What's the noise level at the surface to this graph? Oh, so |
|
|
131:25 | it would be. So I'm convert 40 DB and tell me what |
|
|
131:30 | surface amplitude is. If the borehole is one. OK. I'm not |
|
|
131:40 | gonna lie. You've lost me. don't, I don't know what I'm |
|
|
131:46 | . I wanna convert it. I'm . Well, this is, this |
|
|
131:50 | really just manipulating the D V OK. So I, I would |
|
|
131:56 | just uh figure out how to use D V scale. And so |
|
|
132:05 | if I say that the, uh my borehole amplitude is one and that's |
|
|
132:14 | DB down from the surface, then means that this is minus 20 on |
|
|
132:22 | left hand side to the minus 20 10 aptitude one over aptitude two. |
|
|
132:30 | minus 20 here is minus 20. means it's just one. So the |
|
|
132:34 | of base 10 of one is one is 10. So that means that |
|
|
132:40 | surface aptitude is 10 times the moral . That's what 20 BB means. |
|
|
132:47 | DB is a factor of 10, DB is a factor of 100 60 |
|
|
132:52 | is a factor of 1000. So that's just the DB scale. |
|
|
133:04 | you might say, well, why you just say 1000? OK. |
|
|
133:08 | was like, I don't know what's . Yeah. Well, when you |
|
|
133:13 | , it's just that it's a, smaller number to say 60 DB. |
|
|
133:20 | the scale is defined as a logarithmic that's defined to make all the numbers |
|
|
133:29 | and able to express uh a big value. It's like in |
|
|
133:34 | the, the scales are logarithmically plotted that you could put a whole range |
|
|
133:39 | numbers and give them a, Give all some, some weight from .2 |
|
|
133:45 | 2000 or something. If we had a linear spacing between all those, |
|
|
133:51 | all the small numbers like from 10 would be Miniscule because I've divided it |
|
|
133:58 | linearly to 2000. So that's why plotted on that logarithmic paper because that |
|
|
134:04 | everything. Uh Likewise here with the DB is just a complicated way |
|
|
134:10 | give you a ratio. So if surface amplitude is 1000 times bigger than |
|
|
134:18 | bal amplitude, that means 1000 over , the logarithm base 10 of 1000 |
|
|
134:24 | the larger than base 10 of 10 the third, which is just |
|
|
134:29 | So the magnitude ratio and, and or DB of 1000 to 1 says |
|
|
134:38 | the one is 60 DB less Or times 10 to the 3rd less. |
|
|
134:46 | that's just the DB skill. It's just a faster way to Talk |
|
|
134:55 | two numbers, how much bigger or two numbers are. So, I |
|
|
135:04 | the surface amplitude, it's really noisy it's a million times bigger than the |
|
|
135:10 | amplitude. So on the surface, it's a million times bigger than say |
|
|
135:16 | at 18, m. So I could, I could write that |
|
|
135:24 | and say, OK, it's a times bigger or I could just take |
|
|
135:32 | million is 10 of the six. this number is 10 to the |
|
|
135:37 | the logarithm based 10 of 10 of six is just six. So it's |
|
|
135:44 | DB different. The negative is expressing I want to see how much smaller |
|
|
135:57 | guy is than this guy. I call it a positive. I could |
|
|
136:02 | that the surface noise is a million bigger than this guy or that this |
|
|
136:07 | a million times smaller. If it's , I'm gonna say it's negative, |
|
|
136:11 | bigger. I'm gonna say it's So, you know, 100,000 is |
|
|
136:17 | to the fifth. We just take exponent five multiply it by 20. |
|
|
136:22 | 100 DB. The reason to harp this a little bit is that in |
|
|
136:31 | lot of literature, you're gonna not it go from one to a |
|
|
136:38 | The scale is gonna be plotted in from zero or 10 of the 01 |
|
|
136:45 | to minus A B which is 10 the fourth, that's 10,000. So |
|
|
136:50 | gonna, most of the scales are be plotted in DB or how much |
|
|
136:58 | from the maximum value are you So this is just a uh a |
|
|
137:06 | to compress The ratio of two And the equation is here that the |
|
|
137:18 | , the relationship between two numbers, any number X one and X |
|
|
137:24 | whatever that, is we just take logarithm to base 10 Multiply it by |
|
|
137:32 | . And that's how much smaller one than the other. Just on the |
|
|
137:35 | scale. It's named after Alexander Graham . Because what they needed was when |
|
|
137:43 | were trying to transmit signals across telephone signals, the telephone signal would |
|
|
137:51 | off with distance. So they would to say, oh, the telephone |
|
|
137:56 | fell off by a factor of one over this distance. And they wanted |
|
|
138:03 | faster, shorter way to be able say that same thing. And so |
|
|
138:07 | said from its starting point to its point, here's how much it decreased |
|
|
138:13 | GB. And so everybody knows that the amount of decrease from one one |
|
|
138:22 | to another point. And if you at music magazines or anything, there's |
|
|
138:30 | a magazine that was a popular um magazine called Downbeat, which was a |
|
|
138:38 | on DB. But on all the , the uh recording engineers scales are |
|
|
138:46 | every geophysical graph. You'll see that's two numbers or looking at some kind |
|
|
138:53 | energy or wave propagation is gonna be in DB. So you need to |
|
|
138:59 | that if that's a logarithmic scale. . So that's, uh, |
|
|
139:05 | it gets quieter. Um, we're gonna do one little thing and then |
|
|
139:09 | can, um, break for the . Let me just see this one |
|
|
139:16 | thing to get us our brains working then we'll go to Friday night. |
|
|
139:23 | think my brain is hurting right It's right now. Ok. |
|
|
139:26 | let's leave it for tomorrow. uh, word we've had a big |
|
|
139:32 | . Uh, So we'll see you morning at nine and then we'll, |
|
|
139:39 | do a couple of little more exercises and, and then, uh, |
|
|
139:44 | then go on from there. So we'll do more V S P and |
|
|
139:47 | more exercises and, and, get that chunk done. Ok. |
|
|
139:56 | . Um, just for strictly completion , uh, let me quickly |
|
|
140:31 | Just because I mentioned it. Let's do this one and then, then |
|
|
140:35 | off. Um, So Stephanie, can see here again. We've |
|
|
140:43 | uh, another example. So the is, we've got a well |
|
|
140:48 | We've got a geo phone at 68 ft and then the energy is going |
|
|
140:53 | , down, down, down, and it, We recorded again at |
|
|
141:02 | ft. So we imagine that we've got energy that's going down the, |
|
|
141:08 | , It passes the G phone at 76 at this time and then it |
|
|
141:14 | down to the bottom of the, , at this time. So, |
|
|
141:18 | is the average velocity across this Then we can move on to Friday |
|
|
141:29 | . Bye. So the bottom, bottom depth is 11 930. That |
|
|
141:39 | depth is 68 76. The waves going across velocity is delta Z over |
|
|
141:45 | T how long does it take to from one to the next? Dep |
|
|
144:19 | been talking this whole time. I not realize I was on mute. |
|
|
144:26 | . Yep. Sorry. I just some water. No, you're |
|
|
144:30 | I was talking my way through it then I realized I was on |
|
|
144:33 | Oh, ok. Yeah. Um got Like, if I didn't. |
|
|
144:39 | . Which I hope I did. got like 63 ft per millisecond. |
|
|
144:49 | I did 1193 -68, 76. then I did for my time, |
|
|
144:57 | 11,930 is like around Like 10 80 1000 for that 68 76. |
|
|
145:09 | So watch your pick 1080 or is right? It's almost 2000. I |
|
|
145:19 | sure of the units. It's No, I'm at not the, |
|
|
145:27 | units like the, the sectioning. . 10. Well, you can |
|
|
145:35 | that it's one second in two seconds 1000 milliseconds and 2000 milliseconds. So |
|
|
145:40 | just one second, two, three second. Uh-huh. And there |
|
|
145:45 | 10 little blips between it. So 100 milliseconds each. Oh, they're |
|
|
145:55 | oh, I meant 1800. Not 80. You did. And I |
|
|
145:59 | that I was wondering like I was , I was like that doesn't look |
|
|
146:04 | . Um 50 54 Divided by OK. So 6.3, 6.3 Watt |
|
|
146:17 | per millisecond. And then how many per second is that .63? |
|
|
146:35 | It would be 50 54 Divided by 028-07 88. Not 1.8. So |
|
|
146:57 | sounds right to me. OK. there's the calculation. So we've got |
|
|
147:08 | , the, the depth interval which 11 9, 30 minus 60 |
|
|
147:14 | And then I picked 1.82 seconds or milliseconds. So that's really just, |
|
|
147:31 | gone this deep and it's taken that time. We've got Z over T |
|
|
147:38 | is 63 97 more or less. . Good. So that, that's |
|
|
147:44 | . Again, this is, this a real data case. The guy |
|
|
147:47 | it to me from the Gulf of . And so this is exactly what |
|
|
147:50 | would do. And now we know interval velocity, the actual true seismic |
|
|
147:54 | velocity over this area in the Gulf Mexico. So that's um and that's |
|
|
148:01 | that we need to know for the physics, for the um for the |
|
|
148:07 | , for the time to depth for lot of different reasons. And so |
|
|
148:10 | is uh manipulating some real data and , the reason to bash away in |
|
|
148:15 | units and everything is so that you look at this fast and know |
|
|
148:18 | And then like you're saying, get sense of is that right? And |
|
|
148:25 | know that we just talked about is around 2000 m/s. So if |
|
|
148:33 | takes, it takes a second to 6000 ft, it takes a second |
|
|
148:40 | go around 2000 m. So this even at depth in the Gulf of |
|
|
148:45 | is around that 2000 m per second . So now this is just one |
|
|
148:55 | time because this is the energy going . But if you double deck, |
|
|
149:07 | would get somewhere around or 1000 right? Mhm. Which um We |
|
|
149:37 | that should be somewhere around 4000 right? If if our little equation |
|
|
149:44 | . Mhm And this is about 12,000 , which is around 4000 m. |
|
|
149:56 | and we just calculated that the velocity 63 97 which is around 2000 m |
|
|
150:02 | second. So guess what? We tell any really big stories there? |
|
|
150:08 | was, that's all makes sense. how long is it gonna take to |
|
|
150:13 | down 4000 m around and back around milliseconds or four seconds? So if |
|
|
150:23 | came up to you a good old from the Gulf of Mexico Exploration Team |
|
|
150:30 | said, hey, Miss Smarty pads we're paying you I got the seismic |
|
|
150:36 | in this vessel. Wanna tell me long to record my play is down |
|
|
150:40 | 12,000 ft and I don't use stupid units. So you better tell me |
|
|
150:45 | long I need to record and you'd , oh uh yeah, five seconds |
|
|
150:50 | be safe. Wow ! Ok. like you sometimes. So these are |
|
|
150:58 | uh we wanna be able to manipulate stuff so that you rapidly can get |
|
|
151:04 | answer even with simple stuff because we to have a secure answer and you |
|
|
151:09 | to get it fast and then when get more complicated, you can say |
|
|
151:14 | should be around here and if it's , I'm getting worried. Ok. |
|
|
151:22 | . Well, that's a little bit metal aerobics and now you've done it |
|
|
151:24 | so now we can guilt free, and enjoy a few minutes, |
|
|
151:30 | Ok. Great. Stephanie. We'll we'll see you tomorrow. Ok. |
|
|
151:34 | you so much. Cheers. Bye |
|
