00:00 This meeting is being recorded. Uh Parking issues. OK.

00:07 Yeah, it will be fun with . OK. So uh we've been

00:11 about tectonics and diaper is, is it's closely related to tectonic.

00:27 oh no, you're a geophysicist, ? You're my geo, you're my

00:34 where all the salt come from when salt die appears. I mean,

00:41 I look at rivers, I don't them depositing salt and it never bothered

00:48 . I wonder what, what makes all comfortable evaporate. OK.

00:59 What evaporated water water? OK. see, let's take off of

01:17 OK. Will, well not the continent? OK. OK. We

01:34 a Cambrian Sea in the, in central US that went from the Gulf

01:38 Mexico all the way up to the deck through and during th uh up

01:51 devoting in time there was big evaporation that cause is about almost a mile

01:59 salt, salt and anhydride, What's that? Yeah. Good.

02:16 . Making good progress. All So, and, and there's about

02:21 mile of that in uh West the Texas Panhandle, Western Oklahoma,

02:27 Kansas. Your ocean. OK. that's good. All right.

02:33 OK. Build on her, her there. Anthony. OK. Where

02:41 , where the, where the salt the Gulf of Mexico come from?

02:47 should bother you. Yeah. You live here. Yeah, it's

03:03 . But what evaporated? OK. water? The water? Which

03:15 OK. Which ocean Pacific? no, because we're in the,

03:24 not connected to the Pacific. M got it out. Which

03:37 Atlantic? OK. But hold the Atlantic is why can't it just

03:42 in from the Arctic Ocean and the North New Salt water coming from

03:47 Arctic Ocean and the Antarctic. Mhm. Oh, yeah.

04:06 You get yours from the Indian Ok. Yeah. During the opening

04:12 of the Atlantic, the proto Ok. So you had North Africa

04:21 kind of into the eastern United Colombia right here uh to where Texas

04:30 . And then as Africa Europe broke from the western hemisphere and formed the

04:39 Ocean first. You had the but they had this kind of narrow

04:43 . You just open, right? you have a narrow ocean and it

04:50 still closed. It, it opens closes at South America. So they

04:56 a technique there's a word they use zipper tectonic. So it kind of

05:01 opening in the north and unzipped as go further and further south. So

05:08 Argentina and South Africa met that would and close, open and close.

05:16 when it closed per Atlantic Ocean. the Atlantic Ocean would evaporate and now

05:24 got 1 to 2 miles of salt there. So would evaporate him,

05:30 fill up again because the opening would in and the other oceans would come

05:34 and would evaporate again and drop, cetera. Now, of course,

05:37 gonna be mainly on the shelves because ocean was narrower at that time before

05:44 totally opened. So, basically, got the same salt and Nigeria and

05:52 that you have in Brazil. And here in the Gulf of Mexico where

05:58 more a localized area from like the , we're stuck up in here.

06:03 there's, that's where all the salt from. OK. So we got

06:07 thick layer of salt. Salt is little bit more plastic then rock in

06:17 sense that it can dissolve, dissolve recrystallized. OK? Just like

06:24 underneath an ice skater. Ice. that cold stuff? You don't have

06:30 here, but you put all of pressure of your, of your weight

06:36 that little blade that changes the the ice melts. So you have

06:41 little thin layer of water underneath your cake, right? So it can

06:46 and then move like a glacier. , OK. So for shale and

06:50 dye appears, here's an example happens be from offshore Nigeria pretty big survey

06:59 from Amoco uh and I would maybe kilometers by 50 kilometers, something like

07:06 and down at 1700 milliseconds, I'm pushing the wrong key. We've

07:15 a shale ridge, a shale a shale ridge, another shale

07:21 a shale ridge and then basically uh the sand rich sediments coming down the

07:31 is to the north up here. . So what's happening is the,

07:38 *** River is loading sediments down here are slowly kind of moving down

07:47 You can see the faults here are of bow shaped anchored into the shale

07:53 . So as those sediments are loading top of this thick layer of malleable

08:00 , they're pushing down and the shale coming up on the side.

08:06 So we're gonna look at this sub so we can get a little resolution

08:12 then up shallow. We have uh kind of features here. I'm right

08:19 the sea water and here about 705 circular involved. And here I have

08:35 falls. You don't have radio, come out radio Olympics in the radio

08:46 kind of down as we go you see the same pattern and deeper

08:59 appears. And then here is the I heard before Pao diaper or

09:06 So if I look at uh let's um H prime, which is down

09:14 across this shale guy up here, my shale dye coming up and I've

09:23 a bunch of faults coming out of shale Diop here. And one thing

09:28 about shale Diop here is they can big blocks of sand in them,

09:32 know, just mixed in with them well carried along with them. And

09:38 here is uh CC prime BB So that's this one, the one

09:45 had the ring falls around it. here is uh C uh VB prime

09:53 CC prime. So this fall and faults are the same. It's a

10:00 fault and here's my shale die here up like a cone bringing some sediments

10:06 with it. And um Carlos, this guy right here? I'll give

10:24 a hint this reflectors at 0.75 or about 0.6 or 0.7. This reflector

10:36 here at 1.4. Yeah, it's multiple, it's associated with the water

10:53 . Now it's a little harder to because I don't show you the top

10:56 here. OK. But I've this is almost exactly double, just

11:01 across. So you always need to your eyes open to it for multiples

11:06 not interpret them the hours. And here's another. Oh, yeah,

11:16 didn't know her. So I go each of them later on uh later

11:21 the afternoon, I'll go through some these little depressions in them ocean bottom

11:28 those are going to be pock marks with coming up to the surface.

11:34 . So here's a big survey from Gulf of Mexico offshore Texas.

11:40 Oh This is a smaller one first . So, so I showed you

11:47 maybe on the first day of class first or second, here's a coherence

11:58 . And so this is what the is and this is what the salt

12:02 then I have these bulks. And mentioned that oh these faults aren't continuous

12:09 . You can see they're broken. in 1996 or 97 when uh Chopper

12:16 published this example, we just said this is noise and this is noise

12:23 this is noise. We knew this salt and thought. But what happens

12:28 we, as we understand geology, basic geology and geologic processes and then

12:39 our seismic uh resolution and then pick apart, we add on. So

12:47 in the late 19 nineties, we thought these things here were were

12:53 And if you look carefully, you say, oh, there's a little

12:58 channel features in here and there's a bitty channel features in there. These

13:04 turbid dies, that's what a turbo like. And you get a little

13:08 in there, some chaotic stuff around . Well, in the 19

13:13 some of the companies knew what turbos , most of them did not,

13:17 was just becoming really important. And this one is a mass transport

13:23 We'll talk about mass transport complexes later well. OK. Here's this big

13:28 offshore Texas Louisiana from uh PGS And you look at it, um just

13:35 the seismic data, there's a couple things you'll notice. I've got a

13:40 film here. I got a salt here, a salt comb here,

13:44 salt dome here, there's probably a dome deeper in here. OK.

13:50 in these areas, I have very reflectivity because it just salt and salt

13:55 there's no internal impedance changes. All you have inside is random noise.

14:04 this is a relatively newer survey 2006. So they've got good processing

14:12 you don't have much noise internal to salt. And the older surveys,

14:17 might see some mis migrated in mis , reflexes inside the soul, but

14:23 here. I see some frogs. ? I see a roll over any

14:33 . Thanks. And then I see chaotic stuff, chaotic stuff here,

14:40 chaotic stuff there, chaotic stuff chaotic stuff here and that chaotic

14:47 That's not seismic noise, that's geologic . Those are mass transport complexes or

14:56 landslides. OK? So just swampy the C four. So there are

15:04 faults salt guy appears, oh, at a time size through seismic

15:12 that's what a salt dome looks This looks like a salt dome.

15:16 looks like a salt dome. This like a salt do. They're kind

15:20 elliptical with very low amplitude. This that looks like cut onion rings.

15:28 one here, this one here, one here. Those are sediment

15:36 So that means I have either a or a bowl when you have that

15:40 of circular elliptical feature. And because know the geology a little bit,

15:46 all bold and they're salt withdrawal OK. So the salt came out

15:52 those areas where the bowl is and up with the guy appears. So

15:57 happened again? The here in the married here? OK. Do you

16:13 one tube of toothpaste or two tubes toothpaste at home? Oh, only

16:18 . Do you argue about it? . OK. How do you take

16:23 toothpaste out? Yeah. When you the toothpaste out in the morning,

16:28 do you take it out? You squeeze it in the middle. How

16:31 your spouse do it? Oh, . Very happy marriage then.

16:42 Anybody else? Yeah. Pardon? tubes? How come? Oh

16:51 You got a different brand. Well, in my house we got

16:54 tubes. My thing is like South in the North Mexico, we've got

17:05 lot of little rivers. Ok. name a river, right? What's

17:09 closest river? Which one? That's close. And we got the

17:15 River and then we go down, further south. What's the next

17:22 Colorado ways? Maybe that's a I don't know. And you keep

17:27 down and these rivers aren't carrying a of dirt or bitty rivers with,

17:33 only go up into central Texas Mississippi half of North America, right?

17:41 these little rivers, they bring sediment they lay it down as a

17:47 right? And that's like me with tube of toothpaste, I roll it

17:54 the bottom, very, very geophysical the bottom. And then the toothpaste

18:01 off the front. So then this like the uh Mad Dog Field.

18:08 me think of the uh the big escarpment. So the salt comes out

18:15 like a big ridge. Ok. Cleaner North Sea is the same way

18:21 Europe salt ridges. My wife, like the Mississippi River. Sometimes it's

18:29 , sometimes it's there, sometimes it's , sometimes it's there. It changes

18:33 it uls so it loads here s up, loads over there.

18:38 s comes up over someplace to the . Ok. So it's pushing down

18:41 the time. So she's pushing her anywhere in there. And then after

18:47 while of toothpaste starts coming out the of the tube, out the back

18:51 the tube. Very annoying. What's solution? Two tubes of toothpaste?

18:57 . For marital happiness. So this how you get salty appears. It's

19:01 Mississippi rivers changing every 20,000 years or . It wants to change now.

19:09 we've got the Atchafalaya a dam. been, you've been there.

19:17 So you go west from, I'm , you go east from here down

19:22 10 and then you'll see a big and then you go across the AAA

19:28 and then, well, maybe 1520 , then you hit the other

19:33 And so the US Corps of Engineers put a big dam at the top

19:37 keep the Mississippi river changing course. wants to change course and go down

19:42 the Atchafalaya, which is 50 to miles west of New Orleans. So

19:48 would happen? The Mississippi lower Mississippi would silk up. It wouldn't be

19:53 big port anymore and then there would less fresh water. So they,

19:58 diverted it and that's caused all kinds problems ecologically. OK. Here's my

20:05 diet appears. Here's my swamping mass complex. Some of them,

20:13 here's what it looks like on The salt looks very incoherent. Uh

20:18 do see shale on shale, low , Strat gra reflexions. I see

20:25 . I see mass transport complexes. gonna, here's my swamping again,

20:30 rendered, I'll take the swamping word or I'll take the words off to

20:35 I have the blue swamping. That's it looks like on coherent. And

20:42 I'm going to claim that this area in here that's mass transport complexes in

20:49 mini bases these little circular features, mass transport complexes. Here's one on

20:56 vertical slide, here's one on the slide. OK. That's what we're

21:03 . All right time slice through that data volume. I've got called diet

21:10 mini basins and in the mini basins So I've got just think of it

21:17 unconsolidated mud. So these slumps are at the, at the present c

21:24 like an unconsolidated mud as the basin into the mini basins and the salt

21:31 up, I tilt the surface instead it being flat. Now, maybe

21:35 got a half a degree dip or degree dip and then I have a

21:41 or an earthquake, it mobilizes and down downhill. Ok. So that's

21:50 they're at are coming down. they're sliding into the mini basin.

21:59 I can plot the reflector convergence. I said we could map the pinch

22:05 direction with a color bar. So my color bar. Uh I got

22:12 north twice through the data. So I am, I don't know,

22:18 pick a mini base and may as pick, I'll pick this one.

22:25 . So here it's pinching out to southeast here, I'm pinching out to

22:32 southwest and, well, it's not out very steeply to the north.

22:38 find one here. This one's pinching to the north and northwest and here

22:43 the northeast. Southeast. Ok. out to the north and blue

22:49 southeast and yellow orange and then southwest Greece. But that makes sense.

22:57 what accommodation space on the edges of mini basin go a little uh

23:04 a little cleaner picture. I could used this uh to show the,

23:08 pinch outs in the mini basin. here you see the salt and the

23:11 bas basin pattern and some of the coming along and then deeper.

23:19 Here's a vertical slice through the data salt. Here's my salt. Here's

23:25 mass transport complex. Here's what a transport complex looks like. Another

23:32 another one up here, another one in here, see all that chaotic

23:38 . Now, they're a little organized . In some cases, they tend

23:41 be blocks that are rotated and that's chaotic. You can see there's

23:49 some structure in here rotated blocks. what a mass transport complex looks

23:54 Nice conformal sediment. So a lot salting oh piece of the channel,

24:02 of the channel because it's the time , a uh probably a salt dome

24:07 a mass transport company. Oh it's another mass transport complex.

24:14 So here's my pinch out. So can see, oh I'm pinching to

24:18 it's pinching out here. That's what mapping. It's pinching out this

24:25 That's what I'm mapping. So less space at the edge of these mini

24:31 . So they're gonna be thicker in middle. That's a channel there,

24:40 ? And I can put it on vertical as well. See how we

24:44 all of that. OK. So a large mega merge that western GEO

24:53 together on the US shelf. So the Texas Louisiana border, uh New

24:59 or over here someplace and uh what had are all these old surveys that

25:06 wanted to buy anymore because the big were looking at uh deep water.

25:12 . They already rolled up the So they said, well, how

25:16 we market this? So somebody can buy these data. So they put

25:21 all together and they repros made this merge survey or gam meg survey and

25:27 uh tried to sell it so people , could look at it where they

25:35 to buy the data. So here's of the products they had as their

25:39 , they ran variants on it because was Western Depot, part of Schlumberger

25:44 all these little fingerprints, they her phones, there's a whole lot of

25:50 films in there and then you see faults, how the radio fault comes

25:54 radially and then whoa, it turns and comes in radially to the next

25:59 and you see that pattern over and again. A radio fall coming

26:04 turns around, goes into the next . Radio fall comes out, turns

26:07 . So locally the radio, but they do the strain and stuff interacts

26:12 the cell phones. And their idea is maybe uh company X over here

26:18 , well, I've got a new concept for cotton to play limestone,

26:23 or northwest uh sand, whichever like . Oran sand is one of the

26:29 plays in East Louisiana. Um I wanna buy it between these two

26:35 . So I'm gonna buy 100 square of data out of this mega

26:40 Ok. So there is a salt on carbonate deformation. This is the

26:48 Valley Limestone in East Texas, Northwest . And here is the s stalk

27:00 here and here is the salt die here, ok? And we got

27:08 chalk, a lime, a lime a lime. So we got a

27:13 of chalks and limes in this. here there's a little piece of salt

27:17 a little piece of salt and then call this a salt. Well,

27:26 . So explain to these folks English language. What does a weld

27:35 OK. Put together, I give example. Yeah, like a welding

27:46 pieces of what? Copper and I'm gonna, I'm gonna weld copper

27:51 steel. Is that gonna work? need to take shop class,

27:58 You put steel and steel together, can put copper and copper together,

28:01 a lot of the metals don't but basically you heat it up and

28:05 you stick them together and they recrystallize they don't really melt but then you

28:11 them together. OK? So well like really tight together. So a

28:17 , well putting the sediments down, the sediments down, we're squeezing the

28:23 out to the sides and eventually the on top meet the sediments, the

28:31 , the sands and jails below and squeezed all the salt out and in

28:36 picture where there's a luan salt, are little remnant pieces of salt.

28:43 . So salt wells, as you into interpretation of Gulf of Mexico settlements

28:47 particular, but also Angola and Brazil other places in the world. Guess

28:54 ? The tectonics above and below the could be quite different. The salt

28:58 have moved quite a bit. you can have a very obvious un

29:06 at the salt wells. In this , not really, it's kind of

29:12 to the well below, it's pretty parallel above it as well. But

29:18 often you'll have radically different tips above below the salt. OK. So

29:24 the salt well, and then in middle, the dye has come

29:28 OK? So I'm going to look the thickness between the Buddha line and

29:37 James line. Oh Notice very thick here, moderately thick on the

29:47 So what happened here is my stalk . OK. So I have been

29:55 the salt out instead of a mini . I'm pushing all the salt out

30:01 as I push more and more salt , I have more and more accommodation

30:07 . So the salt uh the thickness the middle is is greater. So

30:13 it's 1300 milliseconds stick and on the away from the salt, it's like

30:21 m thick. So this is the thickness and then here was the salt

30:28 . OK. Here's a time slice the data. Um these white holes

30:36 here that coherence of is black What are they? Why I got

30:44 ? Why do I got those holes the survey? Pardon? Missing

30:49 Why missing data. Good. No . OK. Real common in North

30:58 . OK. Colombia. No government go anywhere they want, they own

31:04 , they own all the minerals, ? I think. Right.

31:08 that's the case too. So uh the case for, for most uh

31:16 . Ok. So little geopolitics. is it? Ok. In

31:25 the big shale gas producers are the , Canada and China. So we

31:37 a lot of gas and a lot shale and Poland, why aren't we

31:45 shale gas in Poland? Roberto? look to me like an international,

31:50 political guy. Mm. Who's not ? No, it has nothing to

32:05 with the US. We'll make money place in the world we could care

32:08 it. Yeah. But why, don't the Polish companies produce still

32:16 why don't the French companies produce shale ? Pardon? High taxation?

32:25 but they're paying $8 MC F for imported from Louisiana. I mean,

32:32 not make it at $5 or? ? It's a, what? It's

32:44 reserve. Ok. But why why aren't they producing it though?

32:48 government owns all this, all the rights. So the French government owns

32:53 the mineral rights in France. Polish owns all the mineral rights in

32:58 Ok. Have you ever visited a fracking job? Ok. What's

33:06 ? Like? It's really noisy, , really noisy for like, maybe

33:11 months. Right. So, if you live near that kind of

33:16 and then what to do to the , tears them all up. I

33:21 , these trucks, I mean, put in 20 train cars of sand

33:27 one. Well, and they're all that by truck. Oh, and

33:30 you got salt water disposal and everything that the way it is noisy,

33:35 is messy. And then if you're farmer it screws up your farming for

33:41 year. Just makes your cattle go . Ok. So what benefit do

33:47 have? What if you own the rights? Get some of the

33:56 right. Yeah. Yeah. So the US and Canada, most of

34:02 , well, I would say I work. Hello. Hello,

34:11 , uh, in the US and where we're producing shale gas, you

34:18 , and doing fracking. It's in like Texas, Oklahoma, North

34:25 uh, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, West . And so the land is privately

34:35 and so the, the mineral rights are making money. The local

34:43 school district, county and state, all making money. Some of it

34:51 to build better roads. Some of goes as it should to build senior

34:56 of senior Citizen Wellness Center. So can do Tai Chi. We got

35:02 of them in Norman gonna sign up start next week. It, it

35:08 you balance good anyhow. Um, there's benefits to the school. There's

35:18 so big impact on the economy. , yeah, it screws things

35:22 People don't like it. People have . Ok. So the rancher or

35:28 in Pennsylvania and all of a sudden getting a half a million dollars a

35:33 , he's gonna buy, not just pickup truck, he's gonna buy

35:36 do you know what a Dooley All right. She knows what a

35:39 is. Explain to her, explain Carlos what a dole is. It's

35:46 double wheels on the back, the truck. Ok. Double wheels on

35:52 back. So you're gonna buy ad means the guy who's repairing the

35:56 the guy who's selling the trucks in , they're happy, the little restaurants

36:03 everything with bacon in it. You , they're happy. Everybody's happy.

36:07 be a vegan in each town. So, um, it goes to

36:13 local community a lot in Poland, goes to Warsaw. So people have

36:20 the headache and the annoyance that goes this, this the national capital and

36:25 they spend it however they want France same thing. So guess what?

36:30 no support for this because there's no in the US. There's very,

36:35 little amount of shale gas being produced Bureau of Land Management from public

36:42 It's almost all private land because people , oh it's bad for the

36:47 Well, yeah, it's, it's of bad for the environment,

36:51 you know, tearing up the ground everything like that. But if you

36:54 money, well, I'm gonna go trees, you know, there are

36:57 you can do with it. Permit zone. That's where the permit

37:04 . This guy probably has a methamphetamine on his property right here.

37:09 Let's not have anybody on it. . Up shallow. I see a

37:15 of faults, a salt dome there's a salt dome over here,

37:19 salt dome over there down deeper, more fault and they ring f and

37:30 deeper. Still so many ring I'm not even gonna put them

37:35 So this was like one of the examples where people saw saw ring faults

37:42 seismic data started back when 2001. you can imagine why I wanna be

37:49 painful to pick all those faults and see that they're, they're ring

37:54 . Everybody thought rainfalls were only from meteor impact. OK. But it

37:59 out I showed you one was shale appears before and this one salty

38:04 So here's his uh uh Steve Mayon's explanation. I've got the salt coming

38:12 and then I have sediments coming OK? And then as this falls

38:21 because now the salt is coming I'm gonna form. Oh, he

38:26 the word Chevron false. They're shaped a Chevron. OK? Which is

38:29 shape, not the, not the company to escape Chevron. So this

38:35 basically got a little tension on it to the Chevron Folds, but I've

38:40 circular symmetry. So the Chevron forks , are circular and you keep

38:48 And at the end, you had Chevron boats blown around in a

38:54 Um Let's look at the seismic amplitude this survey and um here he's

39:01 uh I think the top, it's Buddha if I recall. So here's

39:06 uh a chalk or a limestone. then another one in here, another

39:12 in here, another one in here's his fault and here's the fault

39:21 the data. And you notice these over here, we talk about stair

39:30 and artifacts and coherence, but this more geological. So what we have

39:36 is those faults aren't making a but like the one on the right

39:41 not nice and continuous. So what have is uh you would explain it

39:48 a, a lunchtime analogy. Uh and jelly analogy. So I have

39:54 cracker and I put jelly on it I put another cracker and then I

39:59 on it and the crackers crumble and down the left side of my shirt

40:05 the jelly squeezes out and falls on right side of my sh my

40:10 That's why I eat, I eat at lunch. I don't eat crackers

40:14 jelly. OK. So the crackers like the carbonate in chalk, they

40:21 cats, they're more brittle. The is like the jelly, it's more

40:28 and squeezes out. So the different properties between the carbonates and the shales

40:36 this example, and the chalks results different uh response to the stresses.

40:43 one flows the other fault. And you'll see this uh throughout the

40:51 . So the falls don't have to connect. Bye. OK. So

41:00 attributes allow us to quickly define and of course fault with network. Geometric

41:06 are relatively insensitive to the seismic source . Such they're useful in visualizing geological

41:14 that span surveys subjected to different acquisition processing. They're not sensitive to frequency

41:22 phase and amplitude uh curvature illuminates not folds and flexures but also uh areas

41:31 faults that appear on seismic data as lectures. OK. So it doesn't

41:39 see the fall, it doesn't see fractures, but it images them as

41:46 lecture. OK. And co rendering and coherence provides a means of visualizing

41:52 on simple time slides of what's what's down. OK. Any comments

42:00 that, on structural stuff? Then , did you make coffee at?

42:09 OK. Let's get a cup of and then we'll start with uh the

42:13 lecture while we're still awake. Talk plastic, right? Anybody else can

42:34 a cup of coffee, cafe de Selva or Cafe Montana. What,

42:41 did you, what are you offering ? Is it artisanal? Oh,

49:06 . So I've turned it back on . I pretty good cause I,

49:17 , no one's answering. That's Too early in the morning.

49:24 So the, uh, so I've three more lectures today today. We'll

49:28 a little more lecture. Most of are. Well into the lab.

49:31 of you completed it. Woo OK. There's more stuff to play

49:38 . OK. So here's an, , I mean, you just

49:42 hey, go see what's in see what, see what stuff

49:47 And uh that's where, when you know, teaching over the years

49:52 found with like patrol the difference between engineering folks and the geology folks.

50:00 is in between and the engineering they'd be in the class and you

50:06 , I'd go from version one you know, 2017 to 2018 and

50:12 moved the button and then you just there, that button is not there

50:19 , and they just sit there and know, but not doing anything.

50:24 students, they're busy looking at all of stuff that isn't in the

50:28 just seeing what's underneath it, just picking buttons and see what,

50:33 things do. There's a lot of stuff in here, a lot of

50:37 stuff in terms of visualization and volume . Very, very good graphics,

50:43 , very good graphics. OK? , but today I'll talk about

50:49 Then after lunch, we'll talk about , take a break, you

50:55 for an hour and then I'll end talk about, uh, shallow

51:02 Uh, not shallow water. Shallow drilling hazards. Ok.

51:08 could be deep water drilling hazards uh, Makondo. All right.

51:17 all know about Macondo, right. . Tell us all, you know

51:28 Macondo the blowout. Yeah. Yeah. So it was a

51:48 had a deep water, well, they thought it was going to be

51:53 moderate, a moderate producer. I , good producer and under higher

52:00 but it was under real high No, it was right here off

52:06 Houston. And so that may be , 2005. So I mentioned it

52:15 you one because uh it was a uh leakage of oil. I

52:24 just, I don't know, several of their own. OK. So

52:30 thing they found out, oh, got a much bigger personal artist than

52:33 thought and higher pressure in them and had a have to pay for the

52:37 up. You were talking billions of queen. So you can search that

52:41 the web and see what the cost it. But the part that's interesting

52:46 has to do with Doctor Don. . So the news agencies are looking

52:51 somebody to talk about it with Well, most of the oil

52:58 they didn't, if you're from you don't wanna talk smack about another

53:03 company. You don't wanna do Certainly don't want to talk to a

53:06 . So they're looking for an academic most of the folks, you

53:09 I do Haala earthquakes or something like . So they found Doctor Don.

53:14 Don was perfect. He works for oil company, Amaco for 20

53:18 Most important. He has that beard his beard is nicely shaven. So

53:25 looks like a professor. He looks a professor. Ok. And he

53:30 like a professor and as you can , he gave a very balanced assessment

53:36 from the oil industry thing. He about all the oil industry thing and

53:40 he knew about the geology and what wrong. So it wasn't like sensationalism

53:47 the other thing. Go ahead. mean, CNN, of course,

53:51 CBS and ABC said, well, we, can we broadcast from

53:57 And Don said, yeah, as come in on the, a common

54:02 , there's the, the TV station the radio station. So we've got

54:08 public TV and radio here, on campus. So, yeah.

54:12 , we can, we can talk them. Oh, cool,

54:16 Ok. So they got that all a sudden it was live feed throughout

54:20 world. And then they said, this went on for like four

54:26 Doctor Don on TV, almost every . Then can we get a picture

54:33 ? Oh, yeah. Yeah, can even broadcast from the roof.

54:35 they went to the roof of the and then you can see like the

54:38 Enron building, which is now the building. So you can see all

54:42 the, you know, downtown oil , uh, the old coffee place

54:47 was in, um, Independence the movie Independence Day. You

54:55 let's go drop a bomb on Houston , uh, at the,

55:00 exit. You ever noticed that? watch it again. Let's go drop

55:04 . And just before they saw the , you see uh exit Calhoun

55:09 Uh this place is dispensable Independence OK. So you could see all

55:15 , all the trashy party in Houston all the stuff that there's Doctor Don

55:20 his beard, talking, talking science stuff. So ask him to give

55:25 overview, a five minute overview. class. He still enjoyed talking about

55:30 . It was fun. He got big award from the president of the

55:34 because he put the university on the and he put on all of the

55:39 TV, stuff. Big time. was pretty cool. All right,

55:47 . So we're gonna use attributes in context of seismic geomorphology. So,

55:53 is the study of shapes. Geomorphology the study of geologic shapes.

55:59 And uh in seismic geomorphology, we're use seismic to do it. And

56:04 going to look at, we're going use geomorphology to recognize architectural elements of

56:10 different kinds of systems, shallow deep water shelf and then we're going

56:15 figure out some of the, some the detailed things, the architectural

56:22 So if you take a class in gray. So where's, oh,

56:26 my strier, right? You're a , right? OK. And you're

56:32 a structural geologist. You've denied So you, you're either a carbonate

56:39 or a Strat networker. OK. stratigraphy. People here. You've taken

56:50 . OK. So give me an of an architectural element. Yeah.

56:57 street gray. No, it just like you go, go hiking around

57:05 the, you're, you're taking a down the, down the Trinity

57:11 What's an architectural element of the Trinity ? If you're doing Strat gray and

57:18 going down a canoe on the Trinity ? What, what kind of things

57:20 you going to talk about? That's pretty cool. All right.

57:26 right. What service? Yeah. about easier things? Like you wanna

57:30 a picnic lunch? Which side of river are you gonna take the picnic

57:35 on? Right inside? OK. what's that called? Point Bar because

57:47 tends to be sand. When you out of here, you're gonna see

57:52 sand on all the insides. The side is all black raspberries and poison

57:58 and Greenbrier. On the Cut bank . You don't want to take a

58:01 lunch there. Those are two architectural poses all by themselves. Another architectural

58:09 flooding over bank deposits and other architectural . Now, the reason you want

58:13 put all these together is it tells you see it on the seismic

58:20 The seismic data has got a you may not even know what direction

58:25 river was. OK? But you see which side was the cut

58:32 which side is the point are. then if you look at stack

58:35 you can see hot, you're always cut further down stream. OK?

58:41 not, it's kind of logical, ? But that allows you to

58:46 oh, the water was flowing from to west and in Poland where you

58:50 know which, which was the Where was the mountains or where was

58:53 sea at that time? OK. you can tell from the architectural

58:57 some of those elements will show up obvious on seismic data. They're not

59:02 ones you wanna drill. Uh You to drill the point bar, you

59:07 want to drill the middle of the , the channel axis that that channel

59:10 is often built with just play. you wanna drill maybe the point

59:16 maybe the levy. And so by those together, you understand the environmental

59:25 . OK. And what, what setting was? And where would you

59:30 to have coarse sands, fine clays, et cetera. So we'll

59:36 with fluvial. Oh Another question OK. I'll pick on Lily for

59:43 . What do you see here? see what a channel system and a

59:52 . Yeah. Where do you think are? Yeah. What, where

60:00 this photograph of Texas? Ok. . One vote for Texas.

60:11 You tell me where do you think from Texas? Ok. Deep water

60:19 someplace. All right. He covers lot of places, Anthony. There's

60:29 couple of clues in here. Anything about this that bothers you what there's

60:39 in it. So this is this is the, the George and

60:45 Valley in Mars where the little little has been going around for three

60:51 And I guess what evidence for water the past. So there was,

60:56 know, water up here and it a channel and then formed a fan

61:00 then later, you know, you , Meteors or asteroids, Meteors probably

61:06 of cool, isn't it that So you can use concepts of

61:11 figure out what the pale environment was other planets? Ok. So here's

61:20 of uh the architectural elements of a deltaic system up here. We've got

61:26 the floodplain semi compacted and then the come and we use the bifurcate.

61:34 means they furcate means like a bifurcate. They just the two prongs

61:40 fork and they go into 23 forms prongs of a fork, they get

61:47 and thinner. And then so you these little uh distributor channels, then

61:55 have uh mouth bars, you sand bars at the mouth. And

62:02 here you'll have your, uh, delta front here, you have the

62:09 , uh, and then here you'll your pro delta and then you'll have

62:13 shelf and this pattern. Damn. they look alike? Kind of

62:19 huh? The same laws of And then if you're a geologist and

62:26 at outcrop or core, uh, , well, I mean,

62:30 I can't do this but a good can do that if I look at

62:36 pattern like here, I'm uh upward coarsening and then here um upward

62:49 You're familiar with those words. You those words? Ok. So the

62:54 you, as you're near shore, gonna have coarser sediments as you're farther

63:01 , the finer sediments are in so they'll drop further and then the

63:05 one. So the size of the grain tells you how close you

63:10 to the fork. So then if at a fixed location and I'm going

63:16 four grain to fine grain, that the ocean is transgressing on queer o

63:26 on my old house there. So becoming, it's becoming finer and

63:31 It means um that location is further further from the shore. If on

63:36 other hand becomes coarser and coarser, means the shoreline is coming closer and

63:40 to. Now, we use the words in shale, but we

63:44 we gotta make it sound fancier. we're uh yeah, more shay kind

63:50 person and they'll use the word dirty more clay in it, upward

63:58 more quarts in it. Yeah, kind of concept. OK? And

64:03 you use gamma rays to do that that's the most common way to

64:06 it. You're measuring how much clay in the material. OK? Here

64:12 a booth presentation we made in an meeting in 1995 when uh we came

64:18 with coherence and you can see all of bifurcating and stuff of this

64:24 Paleo Mississippi River, same scale, , Mississippi River or I should say

64:36 River in 1995 because in 2023 guess ? There's less than land now because

64:42 , the sediments, what happened? , ok, who's been in an

64:55 over out of New Orleans? So you look in New Orleans,

65:03 flying out of New Orleans. What you say about the farm land and

65:07 property in the world? You stop Louisiana like here if you go central

65:19 , even around here, the that kind of square, right?

65:24 might be rotated down in South Texas this was more Spanish, West

65:29 Panhandle, Oklahoma, everything is south and west. I hear they're

65:32 little rotated but they're still kind of . What about Louisiana? No,

65:43 not farmland. I'm saying, I'm . So, you know, like

65:48 Opelousas or near or any place in league, what you're gonna see and

65:56 see the same thing in the uh Orange River. And ok, bye

66:05 you're gonna have, people might have ft along the river and then like

66:13 miles deep. So the way the gave property, the only transportation was

66:20 river. So everybody had a little of river and then you couldn't grow

66:27 on 200 ft by 200 ft. , 200 ft by several miles to

66:31 these long skinny properties. Ok. bring it up at Google Earth

66:37 And then as part of those rules , to own it, you had

66:41 maintain the levy la in French. Newton's not here, Jim 11 in

66:47 , I raise up in the I get up. Ok. So

66:50 something that's raised up. So you that up, you have to build

66:53 up and maintain it to prevent everything poetic. So your farmland behind would

66:59 flooded. So since that time, hundreds, Mississippi River has got levees

67:07 it. They still have levies on . If you break the levies,

67:10 everything is gonna flood. You got , you got New Orleans in

67:13 you got all the cities and stuff that. What that does is

67:18 So you can even see some of levees along the edges here, all

67:22 sediments during the spring storms and all mud, it keeps going down off

67:26 bird with delta goes off of the into four kilometers of water. So

67:36 other words, all the sediment is building up new land that's being

67:43 So what would happen naturally? We'd down the Achoa River. All the

67:49 would build thousands and thousands of acres new land every year at flood

67:57 Oh, yeah. And that would down. Meanwhile, the old stuff

68:00 under compaction, waiting and stuff like . So you're always repishing, but

68:04 now because of engineering, it's totally up. And so there's talk

68:12 I mean, allowing the Atchafalaya River open at certain flood stages. So

68:18 reworking that dam so we can try build some new land and prevent problems

68:25 uh what? So this is part geoengineering and so forth now.

68:30 So my point is what we see the old Mississippi River. This one's

68:38 a 150 miles to the, to east of the present day Mississippi River

68:43 rotate it and here's the current one here's a horizon slice like I showed

68:50 earlier in maybe last week. And , so it's a horizon. So

68:59 belong to Paleo Mississippi River. In 1995 when coherence was new,

69:06 said, OK. Yeah. That's channel. And then, then

69:10 is uh there's a fault, this fault is actually controlling the channel

69:17 kind of cool. Um And this seismic noise. Well, it turns

69:23 it's not seismic noise. We had control. So we went out in

69:30 . No, in seaplanes cool. whole group of us. A training

69:38 . Ok. And training class we , ok, we need to know

69:41 laterally. We rework del sale. we set up a field course.

69:48 had seaplanes. We went out to Chandelier Islands, the manager, we

69:53 him along, he brought his fishing . He was fishing for redfish.

69:57 were looking at geology. Uh but this is the old delta from

70:04 Mississippi river 50,000 years ago. And it's ID work from the tides going

70:11 , out, in out pumping water originally it was all sand. Then

70:15 start adding clay behind it. Now of the seismic reflectivity here. My

70:22 size is about 25 m by 25 and these little channels are about

70:29 So what do you get? I don't get a high resolution image

70:33 the channel. I guess there's ugly . OK? I just get scattering

70:38 it like the ceiling. So this is actually showing the hurricane Katrina,

70:44 islands are gone. They got, got wiped out. Then here's another

70:52 down on the uh south part. we see this little or not?

70:57 do. Well, we had a of wells and we can say,

71:02 this is a point bar where a bar should be OK? Is that

71:08 curve of the river? And we see the edge of that thing uh

71:14 show that. So then we started , understanding that oh on coherence,

71:20 mean, we can actually start to some of these architectural elements. There's

71:24 point bar right there. OK. of the work done in um understanding

71:32 systems is done by modeling it. here is a fish tank. So

71:39 give you an idea of scale, a ladder. OK. Step

71:43 So it's a pretty big fish tank , you know, aquarium and then

71:47 put covered sand in it and they try to simulate depositional systems. So

72:01 is uh showing the surface flow pattern show up here in a bit.

72:11 . So they got ocean and they're uh and see how these fans are

72:22 from side to side and then lateral . So let's go. So let's

72:50 at bifurcation. So you have a channel and then it becomes two

72:54 see right here and then another one off again, right? So they're

73:06 for K single channel, overflow deposit over bank deposit. There's a,

73:16 that's gonna move upstream. Other bifurcation a single channel will break into

73:27 OK. Here's an overflow and you how that the whole thing is moving

73:41 the side. OK. And then oan this is what kind of happened

73:49 the river. You had a, total change in direction of the river

73:56 abandoning the old channel and then it's lateral migration to the channel So this

74:05 what we would see over geologic There's a braided screen, but let's

74:14 . I may as well look at . So we're gonna have another

74:22 First out. Zero, the channel going in a different direction.

74:32 Got a new river. Then it expanding. I have another revulsion.

74:44 a good way to improve your geology . No. Sweet being A B

74:56 . So we're trying to or sediment is trying to map of the bar

75:02 . These are the longitude bars versus bars. We're gonna have another

75:11 But when you go to a map and you got your Strat in

75:15 they're gonna start their map meeting presentation management with the following kind of

75:22 It was a dark and stormy. no, we've got to put everything

75:27 the right environment. OK? And sediments were being sorted at the beach

75:35 the coarse sediments near shore and A for them far short and sea level

75:41 and covered all the sh right. put things in their geologic context of

75:50 environment. OK? Uh Happen to Gulf of Mexico amplitude slice. I

75:59 a bunch of channels, coherent Wow, complicated. This is what

76:04 the the Jono station in Colombia was in Bohai in China. Here's a

76:12 analog for meandering channels. Here is river meander but the Greeks called

76:22 The Turks called Missouris. Here's the river and on the bottom is Fell

76:30 East Mirror in Turkey where uh Saint , uh Saint John, the Apostle

76:39 , was held prisoner. Ok. um, so notice the point

76:46 the stand at all the points. it's a very, very flat flood

76:57 and tributary to see the architectural Family point, bar, point,

77:13 , point, bar, J bar bar, uh Oxbow, oxo oxo

77:23 something. We call a, a a cut off where the water goes

77:27 little faster. And then you may able to see these little patterns

77:34 We'll call those scroll bars. So say 500 years ago, the river

77:42 here and then we had a flood the river comes out and it had

77:46 flood and the river comes out and flood and the river comes out another

77:51 , the river comes out. Here's current location. The point is doing

77:56 . So we can actually see the of pre point bars. We call

78:00 scroll bars, sediment college. So we can map that. We

78:05 all these architectural elements. Here's a shoot trying to come across,

78:10 to make a short cut. So is gonna be higher elevation and.

78:18 . Ok. And then there's patterns . Well, ok. So here's

78:25 finding upwards on the sequences you'll see the bottom of the channel. There's

78:30 floodplain, Mi Ming, we you'll see all the channels and the

78:40 channels. And here um you can some kind of balance. I'm gonna

78:56 you this picture up here on the river kind of a fun book.

79:03 Don't go canoeing around Moss buff. done that before. Anybody like to

79:07 fishing and canoeing. You go there Moss Bluff and you go in some

79:12 these bayous and the little lakes and like that real easy to get

79:18 Everything looks the same and how the do I get back really hard?

79:26 . On the river proper, it's , but the bayou is just kind

79:29 dangerous. So I spent several hours with my daughter lost down uh down

79:35 around in here by interstate 10. anyhow, there's kind of an air

79:43 of the Trinity River. See all point bars. Oh Oxbow,

79:50 Oxo Oxo. These are the architectural and we can see them very,

79:59 clearly. Ok. An example from Hernan Reichen Stein. He did his

80:08 thesis here and um, here is suit so little food from uh Galic

80:22 . And what he did is in experiment, um, it's hard to

80:27 permission from uh national oil companies to data. I mean, it's hard

80:33 to get them from, from Our international oil companies. So like

80:41 being like EN I and EP et cetera. Uh National oil companies

80:48 very uh difficult because if the lease with Exxon and Exxon doesn't find anything

80:56 don't want Exxon to publish anything about . They wanna sell that piece of

81:00 too. Uh Chevron. And ok. Well, let's sell it

81:05 the French. Ok. We'll send , sell it to Tata and then

81:09 Tao gives it up. Well, always CN one of the Chinese now

81:14 always somebody else to sell it Ok. So they don't want you

81:19 publish anything about their data. It's , very hard to get permission.

81:23 here I've had many, many international students from Saudi Arabia. They

81:29 get any data. Mexico really hard get data. Why? For Mexico

81:35 Saudi Arabia, it's not so much they're gonna allow other companies to come

81:40 and drill because they're not. It's like Alberto published a paper about uh

81:50 and uh sh sh area down in Yucatan. It says, well,

81:56 ferocity doesn't look as good, you , and then you write this paper

82:00 a peer review journal. Some clown Wall Street reads it and the peso

82:05 down 15%. All of a sudden no money for hospitals and schools in

82:09 . I'm serious. This is really happens. Same thing with Saudi

82:12 Somebody says, oh, things aren't so good for this reservoir. People

82:16 playing with the currency so they're really tight about it. Other places

82:22 Angola, Nigeria, Thailand, they make sure you just keep, make

82:29 much money as possible. For for the taxpayer for the country,

82:34 will allow you to show and I'll you a bunch of examples from the

82:38 area here is very, very Um And I'll show you one from

82:46 that maybe a kilometer deep. And you're shallow, you don't have high

82:53 . So there's not going to be economic. So you can say whatever

82:56 want about it. OK. if you look at this data a

83:05 and this is picture of conventional seismic shallow but then for safe reasons to

83:11 in the platform, they had to a a hazard survey. So the

83:16 data went from five to maybe 100 20 Hertz good quality data in the

83:23 the shallow section. The hazard survey shot on Tooting lines one kilometer by

83:33 kilometer grid. And that's what we're here, kilometer by kilometer using a

83:38 data set. So what they have like a big spark plug off the

83:42 of the boat with hydrophone. And that puts energy in at a

83:49 OK. So 10 times higher frequencies conventional seismic. How deep does it

83:56 ? Oh, it might look several m, you know, maybe 500

83:59 but not deeper than that. And it's not good for exploration, but

84:02 good for mapping hazards. So what did, he took these data where

84:11 had all those great detail and integrated with the conventional seismic to kind of

84:17 . Well, all right, we the moderately well imaged features on the

84:22 seismic. I know what they are the hack serve. Let me put

84:26 all together. So there's the that put together here and a couple of

84:33 , some of the importance of Well, I've got Sandrone faces and

84:40 this is Gulf of Thailand. So of Thailand, the waters maybe 100

84:46 deep. OK? And I've got channels, these fluvial channels that were

84:52 down uh when the sea level was 300 m. OK. During the

84:57 age. Then when sea level what did it do? It filled

85:02 channel actions with a shale plug. so what's may be counterintuitive if you're

85:10 geophysicist, you may think, oh , I wanna drill the channel.

85:14 , here is exactly the place you want to drill. The channels are

85:18 with shale. So when you have meandering channels that are filled, they're

85:23 filled with clay. OK. So form and barrier to fluid well,

85:32 it were a deeper reservoir. And they would be a battle.

85:38 So here is the seismic amplitude data quality because it's shallow. They're only

85:44 and 60 milliseconds deep. Here's the image, right? You see much

85:52 the same, a couple of extra . Um 0.5 0.5 point far high

86:03 . OK. So sand filled, an ox bow here's an ox

86:09 Uh Here's some of these scroll scroll bar, harder to see.

86:15 . Here's some scroll bars, some bars from the previous um 20 bars

86:23 then I see them, OK, bars, scroll bar, scroll

86:28 oxo oxo. And then here's his . We got some interesting little channels

86:36 in here. I don't know if see them on, not as clear

86:42 the emphasis and here's his interpretation. . So God his main channel and

86:52 got bar translation, bar expansion into scroll bar, bar expansion.

87:00 Uh Shoot cut off, shoot is for waterfall uh rapids. And um

87:11 w you know, it's a shortcut the water can flow. OK?

87:17 then here's another example here, you see the gold bars very clearly.

87:22 some kind of a channel coming up guys in there, here's the,

87:30 , here's a coherent were hard to in the amplitude data. You

87:37 the data is still excellent. It's things you don't see in the

87:42 but in particular where you see this size channel going in on the and

87:47 , the edges of this inside channel nicely. Uh Sproll bars. I

87:53 know. And here's what you right? Oh Let's see if you

87:59 see the ch the shoot cut Uh You'll see it a little bit

88:05 . All right. So these are architectural elements of this system right

88:13 He's gonna take a line and I'll to go back and download his thesis

88:17 get the exact line again. But we're looking at these patterns here,

88:24 is the detail of what that point looks like. So shoot, it

88:30 be every, every five years you a big flood. It could be

88:34 year you might be seeing, you , you can see a lot of

88:38 . Um This is what those point look like on high resolution data.

88:43 a deeper point bar earlier, building , building out, building out,

88:47 out. Oh, then sea level , I fill with flat plays and

88:54 0.5. Here I eroded. And at the end I fill in everything

89:01 , with much. So this helps get confidence as to what you're seeing

89:07 the regular revolution side. OK. from South Texas. Um And here

89:19 got a big lister fault coming down conjugate faulting. And then uh Mohammed

89:28 Morai, he uh was he mapped Dom State fall and then he's mapping

89:35 little channels up here. So these are caught on the up block,

89:41 the upper part of the uh on side. So the channels are stuck

89:48 in. So here's the weather. they're stuck in this part and they're

89:54 control. And finally down here is little bit of cut and then come

89:59 in the onto the uh what it you a bunch of channels. And

90:11 are some of the details of those a meandering up here, the Growth

90:18 heritage. And then it, it across down here and just more

90:26 And then he breaks, breaks these into the different uh channels that were

90:35 abandoned of vaults. So here's the channel and then the vaults and the

90:42 channel and then in the vaults and the third channel and then in the

90:45 and there's the fourth channel and the , there's the fifth channel and the

90:49 and the sixth channel. How do know about when they evolved?

90:53 they might be stacked a little higher the section. Ok. Here are

91:01 channels at uh Northwest Oklahoma using uh , green, blue um stop.

91:22 you can kind of see. All , here's a channel cutting across

91:25 These are time slices. Here's a of a channel, here's a piece

91:28 a channel. So these are what call red Fork channel. Their Pennsylvanian

91:38 in central and eastern Oklahoma. These the major oil fields 1919 7,

91:48 . Uh why the sed and the PG are located in T Oklahoma?

91:52 of the giant oil fields in Northwestern , they're filled with water. But

91:59 we're drilling deeper after this Mississippi lime . So it's, it's a limestone

92:07 about 20 to 30% church in it it's highly fractured and we're producing oil

92:14 of the fractures. In this the channels aren't a target. They're

92:20 drilling hatter because when you drill you can lose all of your drilling

92:26 into these highly porous pernial permeable channel . So you need to map

92:32 So the drillers know how to prepare mud, weights and, and

92:38 et cetera. OK. And here's showing a couple of the attributes of

92:44 system, different attributes. Uh GLCM , a gene entropy where you can

92:54 the channel, OK. Differential Here's a fluvial channel in Alberta.

93:03 Sinder picked this horizon down here and gonna use that and display then along

93:13 horizon and this is a froth line this is an in line and we

93:18 see these uh channels here. I them color coded but pretty subtle on

93:25 vertical seismic. And here's the time map of this horizon here, this

93:31 ones, a fan horizon. Here's the coherence image. Oh I

93:39 a distributor channel system. Most negative is the distribution channel system most

93:49 Uh It's not really talking to OK. So here's the most negative

93:56 and you say, well, is real or not? What the heck

93:59 that pattern? So we can, gonna use animation with coherence because coherence

94:05 comfortable with been around longer. There's po I'll do that again. So

94:15 corren. So in this part of channel, I've got a coherence anomaly

94:24 the way along. So this means have a valley shape, negative

94:29 negative value inside the channel, So there's a high correlation of being

94:38 the channel, say no coherent and curvature. Therefore, when I'm further

94:47 and I don't have a coherent anomaly here. Oh Well, I know

94:52 I bifurcate, my channel is getting and thinner. So two channels are

94:58 carrying what one channel did before. they're gonna be narrow and instead of

95:02 the same amount of water and that's and eventually they're going to get narrow

95:07 that or thin enough. I'm thin enough that I don't have a

95:12 in wavelength across the channel edges. I don't see it incoherent, but

95:16 do still see it in curvature. that is so part of that my

95:23 anomaly and here's my curvature anomaly, curvature anomaly is what goes further.

95:31 ? Were continuously. OK. Another set from Alberta coherence anomaly, uh

95:43 channel system. Uh a little one , a little weaker, maybe it's

95:47 little shallower or deeper another distributor So let's look at this 10 This

95:54 area keeps going, let's look at 10 It branches off to the left

95:59 keeps going. So practically it's got same kind of pattern. I'll use

96:06 to Corder. Here's the coherent I'm real comfortable saying this is channel

96:14 into the North American Seaway connecting the Oceans that next. So this

96:21 you know, that age, cretaceous uh sediment. Thanks. Just like

96:28 Colombia, there's a big t way the uh Magdalena River all through Columbia

96:39 Center. Correct? Yeah, I , I can't remember what the name

96:43 the seaway is. But then you the Andes on one side and you

96:46 the, the South American great Town the other. OK. So I

96:54 render a little bit of animation and we captured. OK. So what

97:04 kind of doing, we're saying, , the coherence is calibrating what I'm

97:08 in negative curvature and there's really a correlation there. So what's the

97:15 Well, the distribution system that means near the ocean or the sea,

97:24 inner North American Segway. So I'm , I'm on a flat what queen

97:35 out into, into the ocean. level rises, fills the sediment,

97:42 those channels, distribution channels with add more and more sediments and over

97:48 of years, the play compacts more the flood plain. So what do

97:58 get? I get a little depression those channels. But what I'm seeing

98:04 differential impact. Bye. That's what seeing. Thanks. There's another one

98:21 Canada I think are a little flat straighter and I got a structural high

98:44 the thrust, high positive curvature. is my other structural high over

98:50 OK. Negative characters. Not talking me. It renders positive curvature and

98:58 . Oh I got a positive curvature with coherent anomalies under the side,

99:04 curvature, anomaly, coherence, anomaly positive curvature, a coherent phenomenon.

99:11 the other side, a Google structural structural high, I've got a greater

99:20 . That means the flo the keeper your stratigraphy class. Remember?

99:28 Flat slope. I'm gonna meander right the ocean bottom. I'm gonna bifurcate

99:36 slope. So it could be on shelf edge, Steve. Well,

99:40 gonna be straight or I could be the mountains straight. There's going to

99:46 straighter channel, they're gonna drop their grain material first. So the straighter

99:53 now are gonna be filled with stamp and then you got your flag

100:01 All right. Now, I bury , I bury things. I bury

100:05 . The floodplain has less sand in . It compacts easier than the

100:12 So what I'm left with is a high over the channel. So this

100:18 a lithology indicator just like we talked hydrocarbon indicator. Does this say it's

100:24 high permeability sand? No, but does say it's less compact than what's

100:31 it. What's the simple sort of explanation? There's more sand in

100:35 We know nothing about the permeability but can say there's more sand.

100:41 This one's kind of cute. I four or five channels in here seen

100:45 coherence. You look at it you see are a little positive anomaly

100:51 . A little, maybe negative anomaly . Here, there's a little negative

100:55 , a little negative anomaly. Let's put negative curvature on first.

101:04 . Using my hypothesis. And that this channel is probably filled with

101:09 This channel is probably filled with This channel is probably filled with

101:13 This channel is probably with shale. put positive curvature on. Oh,

101:22 my structural height. A little structural this channel probably filled with sand.

101:30 I got a fan filled channel with positive curvature normally on it and then

101:36 shell fills. OK. So how you get that? Well, first

101:42 all, we're seeing what's preserved in data. So these channels could be

101:51 years apart from each other. You , all kinds of things could have

101:55 . Second of all, we're only at this part of the channel.

101:59 don't know what the provenance. Another of those deep voice words and

102:07 what the provenance of the sediments So the ones that are clay

102:12 they may have come from the West the ones that are sand filled may

102:16 come from the north. OK? different rocks eroding so that you have

102:21 as well. But what you do here is I've got two different kinds

102:26 compaction going on in the same sort . OK. I talked about Omega

102:32 other day. Here's some guy, a cartoon like different kinds of channels

102:40 plays. And in Oklahoma where you're inside and out. There's a vertical

102:48 through seismic amplitude data. Oh, is one of the limestone picks.

102:55 another limestone pick easy to make. then in here, uh there's stuff

103:01 on but pretty darn hard to Ok. And would be hard to

103:09 . Here are some of these red channels. So here's a stage

103:13 a stage two, a stage five pork channel. And here is a

103:21 from actually there are three little surveys Amaco collected in the mid 19

103:27 And we see this channel here, version of the channel before it defaults

103:35 in this direction. Some things here then some acquisition footprint. Here's a

103:40 slice with a coherence image there. the the same data were reprocessed about

103:48 12 with neighboring surveys by CD OK. So the same piece of

103:56 data from the mid 19 nineties along other pieces of garbage data from 19

104:03 and they were reprocessed together. And reason they did a better image,

104:08 only processing difference was a technique called consistent status which came out. And

104:16 uh mid two thousands and surface consistent says well, instead of having a

104:23 per trace, I'm gonna have a underneath the shot per shot gather and

104:29 the receiver for receiver gather and you back and forth and you say,

104:32 the static at that physical location is to be consistent be the same.

104:39 . And that helped quite a But the main difference here in imaging

104:44 migration aperture. So the edges of channels which give rise to diffraction they're

104:53 by the other surveys. OK. by putting the surveys together, I

104:59 image the stuff that's outside edges that outside my survey, the other person's

105:05 and that gives me a much cleaner . The other thing it does,

105:12 shows more geology. OK? And , that's really important. So being

105:18 to see things in the right So OK, you'll have to put

105:27 camera over here. Now, that , we've got a draw on the

105:35 . Oh, this is uh your probably don't work, right? We're

105:40 find out your racer works. That's . Uh It's not bad. Not

105:50 bad one. You do have two . You have blue and blue.

106:08 . Oh Alicia's gone. So I ask her. She would know this

106:16 . What do you see? Animal? What kind of animal?

106:28 sand? You say a sandbar? sandbar? She sees a sandbar?

106:35 . Who's got kids here? you said you're married, you have

106:41 . What do you say? it's not dark enough. It's a

106:50 seen through a second story window. . This is what you have when

106:56 have a small skirt. R you put things in the right context.

107:01 right. OK. We're at Let's go in. What do

107:21 Oh, a better one. what do you see there?

107:23 Now you're on a roll. no, no. I draw a

107:33 bit darker. Well, this works good. It's a bear climbing a

107:43 on the other side, right? don't know that? Ok.

107:51 This one's more or ethnic? Carlos. What do you see the

108:20 frying an egg looking at him from ? No. Ok. All

108:31 A bunch of them like that. the bigger surveys allow you to put

108:35 in context. OK? And then more about the acreage you do own

108:45 some of the gradient. Uh East , north, south. We're seeing

108:52 of the dis uh distributor system or and then here is the original data

109:00 then there is the mega merge. , think differently. And here is

109:08 spec decomposition, original data and then mega merge. So the next version

109:16 put things both context, they help improve edges. In this case,

109:25 Democratic edges versus vault. Now pit with differential compaction. This is an

109:33 data volume. We only had 32 at the time. Nordic Sea.

109:40 see a oh, this looks like channel down here. This looks like

109:44 channel up here. I look at as mute. Yeah, I'm dipping

109:50 the south on the north end and that, that's cool. That

109:55 like a channel. OK. Dipping the southwest dipping to the northeast if

110:02 go deeper. So is this a if I go deeper? 220 milliseconds

110:13 scale incoherent scale incoherent scale, here's channel. So in this example,

110:21 got a channel up here and then have a a channel here, but

110:26 channel is really not at this time it's deeper. So what I have

110:31 I have differential compaction over that deeper which is sand filled. OK.

110:37 shale is compacting more and I get differential compaction anomaly, I can't call

110:43 false because the structural geologists hate if call that false, but they're a

110:51 . I can't use the word OK? Just continuity uh associated with

110:58 deeper feature. So just like if uh an interpreter and you see an

111:06 below that looks like a channel, gotta be worried. Let's say if

111:13 looking underneath the, the Soto Canyon the Mississippi in, in the Gulf

111:19 Mexico or under the Mississippi Canyon in Gulf of Mexico. I'm looking underneath

111:25 canyons. I have an incise in ocean. The ocean is actually

111:30 OK? By 500 m, gonna me a velocity, push down

111:36 If I go down 3 4000 I might still have a pushdown

111:42 I need to make sure that push effect is not due to the ocean

111:48 or topography here, I'm saying you to do the other thing I see

111:53 in the seismic amplitude. I need worry about not just features above that

111:58 velocity effects have to worry about differential below that could propagate upwards.

112:10 Um Here's another pitfall. I might a better picture of this. I'll

112:17 at that at lunch time. So I'm looking at some coherence,

112:23 , coherence looks fine. And then gonna, let's see if I have

112:28 compaction. So I've got a little loop here and you can see it's

112:36 ugly. There are a lot of in this survey. OK? Also

112:41 very good signal to noise ratio, there's a lot of channels in this

112:45 , they're all over the place. if I if I like differential compaction

112:50 channel, shouldn't I be able to something pretty in curvature? So here

112:58 the horizon slice through coherent. Then put most positive curvature on it and

113:07 not really talking to me and then you put most negative curvature on.

113:16 and then what I see here's my kind of like when I go fishing

113:22 have a bunch of worms and they're on top of each other. I

113:26 differential compaction over all those little I can't unravel anything. OK?

113:32 just get a cumulative effect. So curvature falls apart when it gets too

113:40 . Oh And here's the most negative , it doesn't work either.

113:47 So limitation to curvature in channels I have differential compaction and I'll see these

113:54 I can have this would be a filled, this would be sand

113:59 OK. I see channels when there's you know, pro gradation in them

114:05 , you know, complicated channels. channel I'm not gonna see on curvature

114:11 there's no change in reflector orientation through channel and this channel gets too

114:20 So the stack channels give you a curvature anomaly that is too difficult to

114:29 . Then if I have very thin , let's send a quarter wavelength,

114:34 only gonna have an applicant chain. I'll see him on a soble

114:38 I might see him on semblance, I won't see him on Eigen structure

114:44 . This channel here, I'll have changes. Uh And I'll have depth

114:49 and of course curvature changes here, won't see any changes in curvature because

114:56 channels filled, the big channel is with the same hip. OK.

115:01 I just had an amplitude change and have a waveform change here. There's

115:06 waveform change because it's less than a wavelength. And here I'll see it

115:14 . So in terms of fluvial systems general, you're gonna use horizon or

115:18 slices rather than time slices to look the Strat gray and geometric attributes,

115:25 decomposition allow us to defend concepts of geomorphology to 3d data volumes. And

115:33 that, what we're gonna do is not gonna see without often we're gonna

115:38 it through the use of a geologic and understanding of processing. So here's

115:47 than half of you are. Geophysics is heavy on laws of physics

116:02 by mathematics. There's a lot of , theology is mostly about processing,

116:15 how things happen, understanding tectonic understanding rules of deposition. You

116:26 like when do we have meandering, do we have straight cha understanding?

116:33 If I have a carbonate and I it above steel level, I can

116:37 fresh water come into it and dissolve of the calcium carbonate, change it

116:43 the dome. I give porosity. uh process of diogenes. So it's

116:49 about processes. So you have to at the data, you have put

116:54 in the context, pick the right model. OK. So for the

117:00 3D, if you didn't know that was volcanics, that's volcano doesn't look

117:10 different than a lot of uh the guy appears, salt guy appears carbonate

117:17 ups. So how do you, do you put that in the right

117:21 in that data set? One of context, contextual features is in

117:25 you got these uh igneous cells in data and that's it. Ah Then

117:32 other one if you were on a and you'd see the volcano on the

117:36 uh of uh the, the north of oh New Zealand. OK.

117:42 in a, we're in an igneous here. I need to worry about

117:46 . OK? But you got to things in context and then use

117:52 Hey, channels are seen on curvature . If there's differential compaction thin channels

117:58 often only exhibit a change in amplitude in waveform. They're often well eliminated

118:04 spectral decomposition, amplitude gradients and semblance but may not be illuminated by the

118:11 structure coherent and then merge surveys provide broader view of the environmental deposition and

118:17 course improve channel edging. OK? the next one is shelf and shallow

118:25 environment. And here we're talk about channel. So in the north of

118:34 , here's the Mont Saint Michel, got a river coming in here and

118:40 the tide comes in out, in . So these channels aren't draining the

118:49 . They're basically the water is coming and forming these channel channels away from

118:55 beach. OK? Here's an example Oregon who's Bay. So the ocean

119:03 here, sea level rises with high and it pumps in. So notice

119:10 have a dendritic pattern just like a channel. But what's the difference,

119:24 ? It's the dendritic pattern. What's difference with the dendritic pattern on the

119:27 ? So the land is over here the far right? And I got

119:32 bifurcating. OK. Here's the main and then it bifurcates, bifurcates,

119:40 . What's the difference from that? the one let's say for the one

119:45 showed you on the planet Mars. , it's going in the wrong

119:53 OK. Kind of a big OK. So those, that's what

119:57 channel, that's how you're gonna differentiate channels from distribution channels. What direction

120:02 they going? OK. So towards land. OK. So here are

120:10 up in British Columbia on a land , seismic horizon slice coherent slice.

120:18 where the slices through the seismic data going we're gonna go animate through this

120:23 here. And uh here's the slice just showed you 12 milliseconds deeper 84

120:31 four minus. Look at the change , in the different channels even as

120:40 going less than a seismic wavelength. very good resolution in this data

120:49 There's one from the Taran occupation and may or may not be from a

120:56 part of the core or 3D. have to look at it again.

121:01 a little animation loop and what uh had done she took 35 45 55

121:10 volume. Then we're gonna animate like of animating, I'm just gonna go

121:24 here are mine title channels up And so this is the land in

121:30 direction. I got other things going too. Oh, here, here's

121:37 shelf edge. So you can see going down deeper into, into the

121:43 on the left in my tidal Uh some shallow gas and animals.

122:02 ? Yeah. Well, gas, might be the core of a volcano

122:07 I will try to shake. We singing right and also be here as

122:23 . So there's your title channel in part of the data. Just do

122:31 again. I think so. no, here's another one down

122:39 I got two of them, two . They are more down on this

122:48 . Title channel. Bye. Here's an erosional scarp. Green

123:01 Gulf of Mexico. Oh, I'm gonna ask you this question, but

123:06 , I often have in the Uh What is this guy? Is

123:11 a F so I got 123 OK. So is that a fault

123:24 is it something else where the magenta was born? OK. You think

123:37 a migration problem? OK. OK. Oh You think it's your

123:48 ? OK. Why is it not fault? OK. OK. The

123:54 below it is perfectly flat. A can't get in now. They can

124:00 out soul like the sole of my . Remember the uh beer can

124:06 Uh How'd it go last night? got a hangover. So you did

124:09 , right? The first time? beers. Nobody did 68 beers to

124:15 it right? No. OK. this is going to be an erosional

124:22 . All right. So I've but what Zach said, hey,

124:28 horizon keeps going fine. Oh There be a little velocity pull up or

124:31 down here. But these horizons are and smooth going across. And so

124:37 can't be a fault. It's actually Paleo Mississippi River coming in and taking

124:44 all those sediments. OK. So , that's just erosion, that's

124:48 So we're seeing an erosional scarp All right. And then we're looking

124:54 uh coherence on this image and East amplitude grading on the map is quite

125:03 . Here are uh accreted sediments on shelf in northwest of Australia. So

125:12 a crater, I mean, just up. So think of sand bars

125:15 top of each other on top of other. OK. But these are

125:19 sediments along the shelf just packed And we're looking at three different uh

125:26 components. Then we have sediment This is an example from offshore

125:37 We've got salt up here and I'll you another picture of that in a

125:41 . So we got funny looking things in here and we got funny looking

125:46 down in here here. You see pattern like what the heck is

125:52 what's going on there? So let's look at uh this is K

125:56 So we're gonna look at this one here. OK. What we have

126:01 is root mean squared uh amplitude. . High amplitude by the albion.

126:12 what uh Don app? He's at of uh well, he's at the

126:17 survey in Austin. Well, I two salt coms and the salt coms

126:22 actually above sea level or above the four and then I have wave action

126:30 those of you who took physics in school, probably remember this experiment.

126:36 you do wave tank experiments in high in physics class? So Stephanie,

126:44 never did a wave. You you get something about half of the

126:50 of this table, maybe five centimeters . You fill it with water and

126:57 you have a little source called tap, tap, tap,

127:01 send off periodic waves and then you put in uh a mouse pad that

127:10 the depth of the water locally. velocity of the water is uh proportional

127:19 one over the square root of the of the water. OK. Not

127:26 sound waves through the water, but internal gravity waves in the water and

127:32 waves you like go pro you are . So the waves are gonna

127:38 they're gonna be higher amplitude and shorter . The closer you are the short

127:47 , they kind of pile up and , and then they're gonna refract and

127:50 do those kind of experiments. He do that. You would remember it

127:56 you lab mate would probably try to the tank. So you get

128:04 It looks like you peed in your for the rest of the day and

128:07 your other classes. Nobody did Huh? To have it at the

128:13 museum. You've never been to the . Hold on. How come you

128:16 taken your kids to the children's Yeah. Ok. Alright. All

128:24 . You take your Children to the museum, future scientist. Anyhow.

128:29 here's a source, here's a source you get these kind of diffraction

128:35 So, ah source source waves reflecting of them with these patterns. Those

128:42 the patterns that we're seeing in the . Kind of interesting, huh.

128:48 you see these things in seismic The hard part is I've got this

128:53 looking thing. What the heck is ? This is the fun part of

128:58 , right? The fun part just need to go on a field trip

129:03 where I can go snorkeling maybe and wave patterns or sand, uh wave

129:09 in the sand and uh maybe uh know, Turks and Caicos. That's

129:14 good place to go. Kind of . OK. And here's some of

129:20 uh physics des describing how those patterns the waves occur, how they form

129:30 like sand dunes. And here's another , another picture. Same thing I

129:35 what I am booking. OK. progra pro gradation around the Cora Sea

129:42 . So this is the survey you've looking at and here I've got some

129:49 forms here and I'm looking at reflector . So where everything is kind of

129:55 a gray color, it means everything , it's just parallel. And then

130:02 my Cora volcano, here's a little , another canyon, probably a little

130:08 piece of the data than you were at, here's one of these turbinates

130:13 seen coming around the Coro Seamount. . And then here's this pro

130:23 So it's building out from the land the deep water, another view of

130:32 same thing. So I have a or no. So um 3d geometric

130:40 , spectral decomposition allow you to extend of geomorphology to 3D data volumes.

130:46 allows you to infer lithology and ferocity the convergence can quantitatively map pinch outs

130:52 gradations, angular and conformity. the last one's deep water systems and

131:02 mass transport complexes don't happen to have form in deep water that turbinates

131:11 So here I have sediments, let's a fan on the shelf and then

131:18 can break off and slide down, can start to slump, fall,

131:26 a debris flow and here's your turbidity , OK. As you go down

131:32 slope. So the pattern you're going see is gonna be very, very

131:40 to a fal pistol. Except now difference is not dense water, respect

131:47 non dense air. It is denser laden, fresh water with respect to

131:58 clean salt water. OK. So still got a different a a density

132:04 for those sentiment, waited, sediment waters that are coming from flood stage

132:13 the Mississippi River or the Magoa River the Amazon, whatever you like ***

132:19 . They are gonna follow the same of physics as they do sub aoli

132:24 . So you get the same kind pattern proximal is gonna be coarser

132:30 finer distal finer still. OK. a better picture of a turbidity

132:39 So up here I got my something slides down. I get these

132:43 blocks moving. This would be a transport complex but it as they gain

132:50 , they can go into the water and form of turbidity to uh

132:58 And there's a fancy name here called Pal Flow. OK? But what

133:05 to God? Everything is in So you get this mud,

133:11 silk cloud. What falls first further away, mid-sized settlement, farther

133:22 . Fine set. OK. So a geology 101 class. What's got

133:33 porosity? Fill this room with fill this room with softball, fill

133:40 room with, got that. Ok. So I've sorted them.

134:03 got sorted course baseball or basketball and golf ball. Which one has more

134:15 ? No, you're right. It just say it does. They all

134:18 the same ferocity. They all have same ferocity. OK. Now,

134:23 I have baseball mixed in with golf and basketball, what can you say

134:30 the ferocity there? OK. I've basketballs and baseballs and golf balls all

134:39 in. Fill in this room. one? What happens to the

134:44 Is it the same? It Ok. So you can fit some

134:48 those softballs in the hole. So basketball you get fit some of the

134:52 balls in the holes between the, softball. So what that means is

134:58 if the sediments are well thwarted, gonna have fac so for these turbinate

135:06 , yeah, the grain size is , more proximal to the source and

135:13 , more distal. But both of have excellent ferocity. OK? And

135:19 what's beautiful about permite. OK. PBS are probably the biggest source of

135:29 water reservoirs in, in the world . OK. And they form the

135:36 kind of patterns. Now, here can see they got slumps here,

135:40 side cracks, et cetera. Here's example from uh Nigeria, not,

135:48 deep water in Nigeria, but maybe or four kilometers deep. And so

135:53 got a far angled amplitude stack and and what Pini Amy said uh

136:01 I've got a canyon like well I've got a pond lobe here,

136:07 my pond lobe, another pond. got a mass transport complex underwater landslide

136:15 here and then sliding down. I've a constrained lobe here. I've got

136:23 avulsion sheet meandering channel. Remember I you that movie. So we,

136:29 then have an analog of a laboratory that we can apply and then narrow

136:37 sands and revulsion etcetera. Let's do decomposition on it. So he's got

136:45 spectral frequencies co rendered same kind of would make beautiful wallpaper and then he

136:54 picking some of them along. So gonna look at, at this guy

136:59 then he's gonna look at this channel and he's gonna paint this channel,

137:04 you'll paint others at different levels. ? You see how they're, there's

137:11 four or five channels on top of other. So let's look at

137:14 let's look at this one. This on the near angle step. There's

137:18 channel, here's a channel, here's channel, here's a channel, there's

137:24 least four of us. So geology . These are multistory channel system or

137:39 channels, multistory uh first floor, floor, third floor, fourth floor

137:45 science and research. That's what they by story. OK. A multistory

137:51 . Hey, wouldn't it be cool they were filled with sand to get

137:55 of those guys at the same OK. That could be cool.

138:00 be fun. Then here's an arbitrary across one of these multistory channels.

138:11 he's got on this one. Here the levy on either side. So

138:17 11 in my 10, I get in the morning, the raised part

138:21 the system. OK. So at C floor, the channels down here

138:27 the levee is higher elevation around Now, uh I don't know if

138:33 have a picture of this. Will people will call these gull wings

138:38 they look at those gull wings. this is like a, a picture

138:43 Alicia's kids might draw of a you know, and put the little

138:46 shining and picture of a seagull and love mom. Right? World is

138:55 . OK. So they'll call them go because that's kind of pattern.

139:00 ? And that's, uh, they , the levies can be a good

139:04 , but they're definitely one of the elements that allows you to map the

139:10 . Ok. Put it all Here's one offshore Jarque Basin.

139:17 so off of a Newfound. So Eastern Canada and we've got a

139:26 in here. There's the shelf, gonna cut right down through the

139:31 We're gonna look at some of those in this canyon. So here it

139:35 , it's called Hibernia Canyon. And the base, here's a coherence in

139:41 image, the edge of the Some of the architectural elements there are

139:47 marks like KN IC K, like take your knife and you carve the

139:54 of the table. I'm looking at little triangles in it, that kind

139:57 knick mark or uh not here Well, you might see it in

140:06 in some of the low roadways. then there's a flood and you have

140:10 , cutting into the slope where the is, is cut through either a

140:16 or in a valley. And then have these little triangular images going into

140:21 champ. OK? So here they're into the camp, maybe a little

140:28 of the channel flow coming in, through. So you can map these

140:32 seismic data. This one, he they might be gully. So uh

140:37 water coming out and then flowing downhill , some falls, et cetera.

140:49 uh here he's 100 and 28 milliseconds the top of the T one marker

140:56 here's his main channel. So in English, we would call that the

141:03 access. But we like to, know, in geophysics, we tend

141:10 name things after professors and scientists, know, so we got rail waves

141:17 love waves and Young's modulus and all kind of stuff. Um I always

141:24 something named after me, but then students would want to name some kind

141:28 noise after me and say, oh process it and get rid of the

141:32 waves or something like that. I don't want that. Don't want

141:35 . Don't name anything after, but they're gonna use the word twe tau

141:41 German. Ah Tai YC Kal is in German. Is it not?

141:53 answered? She didn't, she's having beer. OK. And veg means

141:59 . Yes. Yeah. OK. that just means channel X, channel

142:04 . And German, a lot of , French word. Why are they

142:09 Decor? Because I am a I am sitting in Switzerland at my

142:18 Paris cafe at the ski resort and science is drinking my pa no,

142:26 looking across the valley and there I the Decor move of the mountain and

142:34 gonna use French words to describe I mean, that's where it came

142:37 sitting in the Swiss Alps drinking OK. Um So here's my to

142:47 General axis. So then what he is he went and picked them just

142:52 I showed you the picture from Except now this is uh Canada and

142:57 painted them so you can paint you know, in your interpretation

143:01 So he used Coherence as a guide he painted multi story channels and in

143:09 , these are the wedding. So the levees are on the sides

143:13 the channel and you can see, when there's a, you know,

143:17 storm, maybe it overflows and leaves low deposit and then after the

143:25 it goes back into the channel So that's how those levees build up

143:29 over bank deposits during the channel The red is an older channel and

143:36 yellow is the most recent channel. a couple of words is photographers will

143:44 , well, you want to know way the channel is going. I

143:48 a lot of places you don't know the tectonics were, the continents have

143:52 around. And I mean, we found a new continent in the last

143:56 or three weeks. I don't know you get this on your, your

144:00 feed. I I get asteroids are take me out. I should kiss

144:05 butt. Goodbye. You know, another asteroid coming in a couple of

144:09 and we find a new continent. there's a new continent that would part

144:14 Western Australia. And now they found parts in Indonesia, Japan and,

144:31 um uh assam, the assam part India. So, oh, they

144:37 this. So they were able to , well, hold on when I

144:40 all the continents together, there's this missing piece. What happened and they

144:43 a name for it, but they never find it. They just found

144:46 like three. They just published They found it three weeks ago.

144:50 kind of kind of cool. All . So, um here the sweet

144:59 from stage to stage. This is word we'll use in stratigraphy again,

145:06 know, in one stage, I'm filling my channel like the red

145:10 channel in Oklahoma. We got stage . Stage one, I fill it

145:14 gravel. Stage two with sand, three with coal. Stage four,

145:21 little bit of clay and sand. five, all shale. So the

145:26 stages in the channel can be filled different things. OK? And uh

145:32 there's most, if you go from most recent channel to the one below

145:36 that's distant is the sweep. So stage to stage, how far downstream

145:42 it go? Now? Right you can only cut the cut

145:48 That means I know which direction that is going. So as I go

145:53 in time, I'm going downstream on cut back. OK. So the

146:01 of that suite is a measurement that us tell that. Then there's something

146:08 the swing. How far do we side to side? So we're defining

146:13 morphology of these meandering channels. And if I go measure with a little

146:23 measuring tool, you know, little kind of tool down there, and

146:29 I take the ratio of the orange to the green straight line distance that

146:36 me the tortuosity. So that's another measure. And the tortuosity says,

146:43 , if the tortuosity is one and have a perfectly straight channel, uh

146:49 gonna be coarser grain, more sand , faster sediment transport, steep

146:56 If the tortuosity is really, really , then the sediment uh fluid flow

147:07 gonna be a lot slower. I'm be finer green, even shale F

147:16 . So here he went through when picked these guys, uh you

147:19 phase one, phase two, phase . And here's how deep he was

147:24 his pick Hibernia canyon top. And said, wow, look at

147:28 It looks like a bunch of spaghetti put together. Well, now your

147:35 as a development engineer is to figure a reservoir engineer is to figure out

147:42 , or is any of those like the orange channel? Is that a

147:46 fill channel? I mean, you to find that out. Those could

147:49 baffles. Ideally, you'd like to d sandbars are, you know,

148:01 bars. That would be great. you wanna put this plumbing together.

148:06 this is what the engineers and the do together when in the reservoir

148:13 try to figure out what sub warming going to be. Here's one,

148:18 Canterbury Basin. So in New east side of the South Island of

148:22 Zealand, we got a time slice and then I think we're going to

148:26 a horizon slice as well. this is horizon threat here and you

148:32 kind of see things in the but ah let's use three attributes

148:40 peak spectral frequency, peak, spectral and soul filter. And now here's

148:46 channel coming through here, other turbid through there and another Turbid coming through

148:52 . And then here are three different put together the curved, this reflector

148:58 . So the ones that are kind cyan colored, those are the valleys

149:04 ? And then here is coherent energy GLC M homogeneity and then I can

149:11 them together here. I've got reflective as aute reflective magnitude coherence and make

149:17 little movie with here. You can , oh, there's definitely in size

149:21 right there, right? And uh there, there's a little Turbid

149:33 That's this one, there's this Turbid down here or coming down here and

149:45 of the little ones coming over this , they kind of stand out,

149:56 map a lot of stuff. There's term, an AI basin not far

150:01 the Cora survey. Uh We've got positive curvature, negative curvature and

150:07 So there's actually this, this turns to be a reverse fault here.

150:12 reverse fault. And then uh out in kind of gray, you can

150:18 some channels. I think I got movie room here too. I was

150:23 way, let's do it this A little turbide channel coming out

150:41 Hermite and then the whole thing associated well, right? Lots of Turbin

150:58 Delaware Basin. So near El West Texas. Um Actually, it's

151:08 New Mexico, but just across the here, we can pick this

151:16 Here's a carbonate platform over vacuum New Mexico. And I'm gonna look

151:20 this perpendicular line. OK? The beg I can pick and then this

151:28 , it looks like I can pick in the in line. But in

151:31 cross line, there's nothing to Here's the outcrop analog. This is

151:42 Capitan at the Guadalupe National Park. ? You been there for carbonate field

151:48 yet? OK. Good place to for a carbon field. Go this

151:56 of year. Don't go in Well, cool off this time of

152:00 is good. In fact, if got now you guys don't have a

152:05 or an accelerated mas. If you a normal student, I say,

152:09 , Thanksgiving, you know, you know, international, great place

152:13 go in the Thanksgiving time. Uh hike all the way up to the

152:19 . So uh this is the carbonate and then these are slum features uh

152:25 , in between there's sand filled slum and called upper brushing canyon. Uh

152:30 Creek formation. Those are nice So we're gonna slice down from the

152:37 bird. Here's the carbonate platform and on the slope, we see all

152:42 little channels on this amplitude gradient going to right. And you can see

152:47 , they meander a bit, they . These are the targets, the

152:53 amplitude little channel features that you can't pick, but you can visualize them

152:59 nicely. Um I guess I got uh frequency Taranaki Basin. I have

153:15 think of what survey this is and start to sing song up here.

153:26 see some channels coming out here. don't have any coherence on this or

153:33 night. You can see how they in quite nicely, very,

153:45 very clearly. So these are just slices. So the uh let me

153:51 you that they see channels really, clearly. So in general, you

154:00 to use horizon or straddle slices rather time slices to luminate photography, geometric

154:07 spectral decomposition allows you to extend concepts geomorphology to 3D data volume. And

154:12 allows you to infer all the veracity then uh thin channels only exhibit the

154:19 in app it's not wasted. you know, one app you,

154:22 can't get by with one attribute usually multiple. Ok. Lunchtime.

154:37 What do you see and see? ? What would your kids see?

154:57 lunchtime? Right. Oh, it's little early for lunchtime. Well,

155:02 go over, what, 12 o'clock . Yeah, we'll go over at

155:06 for whatever you like. You don't to listen to me anymore. Joining

160:03 now on the phone is Don Oh, I got to scroll

160:29 Oh, there it is. Produce from a reservoir. It draws down

160:35 pressure and that's a natural process that on. And because this well has

160:39 flowing for a long period of what you see from that is that

160:44 of the pressure gets drawn down and takes a while for the pressure to

160:48 rebuild back up because the pressure that's in a well comes from long distances

160:53 from the well borne. It takes while for the fluids to migrate through

160:58 reservoir and build the pressure back And that's why it's building back up

161:02 . That's a good indication. The possibility of that pressure is that there

161:06 a leak in the subsurface somewhere in vicinity just below the 18 inch

161:12 the 18 inch liner that they have the well, and that's around 89

161:18 ft, somewhere around 8990 ft in well. And that's associated with the

161:25 . That's the pressure that you would if there was a leak about that

161:29 . Do you think there's a if there was a leak, they

161:34 be able to see it in One reason for extending the test is

161:38 allow that leak to show itself better in the seismic and that may be

161:44 they've left the cap on as long they have. Anyhow, you can

161:49 he's, he, he was interviewed lot. I thought she'd find that

161:53 . So ask him to tell you it. It was, it was

161:57 of cool. Yeah. So, know, here in the Department of

162:01 knows the politics here, you in universities, they say the knives

162:07 so sharp because the prize is so . OK. So you think,

162:13 , everybody gets a, well, are people high on the totem

162:16 people low on the totem pole and one don was high on the total

162:21 . So I asked him to talk it. There's, there's a bunch

162:25 it. I'm gonna look up something . What else was I gonna look

162:36 ? I can't remember. Yes, . It probably one we had at

162:53 very end of the variant section, programmed everything that maude and then of

163:01 variant. But then that's what you here. Its like. Yeah,

163:04 I mean, we can just refer vii I if you look at,

163:14 so rendered. It's like a lot blurry. It's not super clear.

163:18 , but it's also telling you, , what's the local dip and

163:21 So it kind of puts it in on that. That's all, that's

163:24 only reason. Now if you're looking for the edges, the variance by

163:29 is gonna be fine. Well, guess uh the p for a time

163:36 like 59. So I'm just, type of, well, this one's

163:47 . The, the one you had the colors on it is good because

163:50 think I want you to blend them stuff like that. Look at them

163:52 at the same time. Yes, . Ok. Ok. So you're

164:13 , oh, you're picking the second ? Ok. Which, OK.

164:16 your first horizon? Ok. Oh, you changed it to blue

164:22 you can see it. Ok. good. That's good. I'm all

164:25 with that. And now, and your, where's your second horizon gonna

164:32 ? Have you started? Is this second horizon you're showing or no?

164:37 . And the first one was Yes. The 101 is in

164:43 ok. Are you one of those who call me against the purpose?

164:59 , yeah, it's OK. It be, I can see that.

165:11 . And, um, yeah, a cultural thing and it has to

165:15 with kind of what kind of crayons use as a kid. That's

165:23 And some people will call well, a computer when you buy the,

165:28 cartridge, they'll call that an but a lot of people call it

165:34 . And to me, purple is that's purple. But that's like a

165:40 thing. Like, I don't know people start calling that purple. And

165:44 do they call this then? Ok. Ok. But that's

165:49 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so that yellow one's fine

165:54 you don't see it on the other ? That's your headache, right?

165:58 . That's cool. I'm all right that. Maybe it doesn't matter

166:00 why don't you try to go Oh, out here you could

166:05 right? Yeah, you kinda got . Ok, let's go on the

166:11 and jump way over there. Go in a bit. There's one of

166:16 little guys again. Ok. Now you can pick that guy and

166:26 , it's kind of broken over It's a tough one to pick um

166:33 wanna make life easier trying to pick guy up here, I mean way

166:40 away but it's gonna be easier. . Yeah. And then you'll be

166:46 , I think it's gonna work, gonna be, it's gonna show you

166:51 different. Let's see. Where does go? If mm they want to

166:58 another horizon call the green and so know Paula maybe first of all zoom

167:22 vertically to change the vertical scale on job. Um you can change the

167:29 ratio and one of those controls. oh that one and then where it

167:46 five, see the details. He uh 15. All right. Now

167:54 can see it. Ok. And go up, up to where it

167:59 easier to see. Ok, and worth it more. Ok. Pick

168:11 guy, the one that blew. . Ok. Pick in the

168:15 That's cool. Go do it. , that's fine. That's fine.

168:19 . Yeah, you're picking the which is what the fee and the

168:23 that draw for. That's fine. thinking the blue part is going to

168:29 strong, but then you have to the polarity of your pick. Go

168:36 click the green thing, the green and then you go under. Thank

168:45 . Yeah, they'll make it The balloon is going to be a

168:51 now go this guy it's blue. , you can't do auto pit.

169:06 . Erase that, erase, erase . Ok. Now go back and

169:15 it again through the semi auto, the three day, but the two

169:23 one there, they could be two to the right now. Put

169:37 mouth. Ok. You can go here. Bye. Oh, it

169:52 of. Ok. And I get part, that part. Yeah.

170:07 . Ok. I'll get a front . Ok. So, ok,

170:17 much of that is and we don't what to do. Ok, so

170:30 fine. So then get another cross will be at this level and football

170:51 . I feel a little more. . Ok. I'll take that,

170:57 you pick that. You can get up on top. Yeah, it'll

171:15 in the morning. No, it be. Yeah, I would say

171:29 ok. Wouldn't put anything in I just jump across. It's called

171:35 correlate. Yeah. And the who knows what's going on? You

171:46 to go around with probably down. , yeah, I would say to

171:59 . Yeah, that go go put . Oh I know they're doing

172:18 So can't go anymore. OK. good enough. I think that that

172:29 be some. Um So this will much faster. You agree?

172:39 Yeah. The data you're, you're top of the volcano but you got

172:48 lot of uh awful too. So picked the second horizon or are you

172:59 with the second horizon? It was difficult. Yeah. So you

173:06 if you're, are you frustrated Anthony the second horizon? Gotta pick.

173:15 . On a cotton. OK. . So you know, if you're

173:22 stuck on the second horizon and you're , go pick something shower or that

173:31 easy to pick, but let's get done. OK? No reason to

173:36 more. OK. And what I you to concept, I want you

173:42 learn it is like what's a proportional a straddle slide? What the Phantom

173:49 slide now are the straddle slices gonna good if you're like 500 or 700

173:55 apart. No, they're not they're not gonna work. There's too

173:59 geology in between. So you to a good straddle slice. You wanna

174:03 kind of the top of the, big formation and the base, but

174:09 get through it mechanically. Ok? don't want you to die.

174:14 For Carlos to die. He's, experienced the dying. He's been dying

174:18 times. By the way, you to give him a round for being

174:23 user help here. Yeah. it's good. It's good. And

174:28 tell you when he explains to he learns just as much as you

174:32 because you try to say oh because being able to do something and

174:37 able to explain it very, very like you're saying, oh, I'm

174:42 and he's thinking and the same, thinking some word in Spanish or

174:46 you know, I'm picking this Let's say a wormy thing.

174:50 OK. Now how does he describe you what wormy thing is? Uh

174:55 there are, there's moth eaten horizon then you have to say Marty

175:00 they know or Marty the idea because a moth and the other is a

175:04 , you know. Oh OK. . 00, you found a

175:17 Are you there, Jessica? I here. Can you hear me over

175:27 ? OK. Meeting recorded. Got . Oh OK. So show me

175:39 , ma'am. OK. So my is I'm working on lab.

175:48 I'm sharing my screen. Um And working on putting in my um surface

175:58 when I try to do that, get this error boundary is not

176:04 OK. So you have to find boundary. What's your boundary that you're

176:10 ? I say, I think it's let me try to move this out

176:14 the way. I don't know if can get underneath it because of all

176:18 the things. Um I'm just gonna it. I think it's because I'm

176:27 this little section of data on my , but I don't know why I'm

176:31 it. No, but that's not boundary is the edge that you put

176:36 I think. OK? So when pick the four, it says,

176:43 why don't you um I to re the boundary? OK. Oh That's

176:55 you called it. OK. So mean it, it's closed. Is

177:00 not? I mean, I, guess not. OK. I,

177:10 guess not. OK. So why you just re pick it?

177:19 Can, can I say something? , I hear you. I uh

177:26 repeating, you can open settings and to polygon operations and close it.

177:31 you double click there, go to and you go to operations and there

177:42 polygon operations and you go to clos polygons, choose that one and run

177:54 then you can, it should be now. And also I, I

177:59 another comment that I want to I think it's not, well,

178:02 it's for the exercise, but it's necessary to make the polygon.

178:07 Because the extent of the survey is , it's the same as the Polygon

178:13 that you're correct. And let's see she gets further. Now you will

178:19 a polygon in the center to exclude . So that's good to know how

178:25 close that. Ok, let's see you can make this work and then

178:31 change this to 25 five. And think that was good. Yeah,

178:47 . So, I don't know. mean, this is right up

178:55 right? The Magenta Horizon and then survey limits. So what's the use

179:00 inside boundary only though that probably won't winning. Mhm But also if

179:09 if you remove the boundary because the of the boundary is the same of

179:13 survey, you could still have create the surface. OK?

179:24 you just need to click on the limits and uh there. Yes.

179:31 delete with the, with the Delete. Oh It won't let me

179:38 rid of it. But you just the delete key on your keyboard.

179:46 don't know if I don't think I a, I do. Oh,

179:51 , wow. Oh, that time did something. She was right.

180:02 uh But its extent is the square . Yeah. But now it's all

180:09 . No, it's not funky. just, yeah, it's garbage.

180:13 , um you could read, pick , pick your polygon. I'm surprised

180:20 that. I don't know why you're gone by just as funny. I

180:30 , I mean, it looks like , yeah, and it looks like

180:37 , it's closed. You can also if you go right, click on

180:46 , on your polygon and there's a . Go there one. Not that

180:56 . Yes. Yes. That So you have two polygons. That's

181:02 if you remove the last two rows you have somehow uh open polygon,

181:09 polygon there that you pick, just it in. How do I delete

181:14 ? Just select that and go to above the X, the red X

181:21 the, that one. Yes. then select the other one. Yes

181:29 just click. Ok. You should ok at the bottom, right?

181:38 I don't know. I don't think . Let me make this window

181:42 Ok. So now you gotta save . Ah, fairness. Ok.

181:50 let's try this again. Uh Let go back over here and let me

181:54 this again. Oh, but see I have this little red arrow over

182:01 . Did I always have that? delete that as well? This?

182:08 . Oh. Oh, it, can put no. Yes or it

182:21 to get some game. And is then here? I don't know about

182:34 guys, but I'm having a great . Hm. Boy beset. You

182:52 detective skills. I am impressed. I W-4 2. So that's why

183:01 , oh, amazing. The Like we went around, she had

183:06 six sided square. Yeah, like or seven. I don't, I

183:11 know how it's fine. I appreciate . Thank you so much. You

183:17 hear me? So you clearly haven't . Uh Horizon number two?

183:23 Yeah. So you're going to uh, like I was talking to

183:28 here, especially since you have slow . We're running out of time,

183:36 intersection where you have very continuous That's easy to pick. Ok.

183:46 go pick that guy. There'll be faulting, but easier to pick,

183:51 be pretty clear what they are. pick, pick a strong one and

183:54 through with the day and finish picking second horizon in an hour.

184:01 Ok. And now if you want do a straddle slice, uh,

184:05 know, a proportional size between two , we want them to be kind

184:11 near each other in geologic time. , you know, like the top

184:15 the order vision and the base of order vision, something like that.

184:19 here for this exercise, I want to get comfortable with. Ok.

184:25 is a straddle size doing? You , what's it, what's it

184:29 What, what, how are you it? Uh And so I want

184:34 to learn what it is by You already had a test question on

184:37 . But, uh, let's get second horizon picked the day so that

184:44 through that part of the exercise? . Ok. So uh also a

184:50 for me, I am also in lab six. So in which lab

184:55 we supposed to pick the second horizon this one? Next one? I

185:08 hear you love seven. Ok. . So just to pick an easy

185:15 , right? That's the tip. , thanks. Yeah, so

185:25 Um We can't hear you. I might fell on the board.

185:49 you. OK. Hello. So , in we can. Yeah,

185:58 sorry. I was, I was on the microphone, uh the on

186:04 seven. Pick something that's shower and because when you're remote, you don't

186:11 that instant response with the mouse and , it's really tedious to pick and

186:19 and so forth. So let's, make life easier for that. Uh

186:22 seven and pick an, pick an reflector. Uh you know, four

186:27 500 milliseconds above the magenta one you . OK. OK. Thanks.

186:39 , there problem with the what she with her polygon. Let us look

186:43 the polygon. Uh You can look it and OK. Yeah, that's

186:57 good one. Yep. There's nothing with that. Her problem is her

187:07 polygon. She had, she didn't four sides. She picked this,

187:13 , this and then went around two . Yeah. Yeah. So it

187:17 like it was four sides, but was actually she picked two sides twice

187:23 . You can imagine. I can doing that. That was her

187:28 Ok. And have you done lab yet? Yeah, you've done?

187:33 . Good. Ok. Oh. , hang on, let me
