00:14 | I don't have a microphone but I my microphone on her. Yeah. |
|
|
00:19 | you turn yours off? So we get a get feedback. Oh What |
|
|
00:32 | I doing? We were together, it's still on. I can't see |
|
|
01:19 | right now. Oh, there it . OK. All these tiny little |
|
|
01:37 | . OK. So uh one of tools that we use a lot is |
|
|
01:40 | bias photography. And um one of things that I find interesting in the |
|
|
01:45 | in the oil industry is, you , we always talk about uh |
|
|
01:52 | Uh but without uh some sense of and when, when we get to |
|
|
01:56 | correlation lecture, you're gonna hear more this from me. But without some |
|
|
02:01 | sense of timing in a rock you really have no way to actually |
|
|
02:07 | , especially when you consider it's a dimensional world. And uh I'll, |
|
|
02:12 | um show you some cross sections and to you. If we were looking |
|
|
02:17 | them in uh strike uh direction, would correlate really well. And you |
|
|
02:25 | , well, you know, all sands correlate someone to go down |
|
|
02:28 | they'll correlate too. But if there's there, you're gonna lose, you're |
|
|
02:33 | lose the correlation, you're gonna be correlating things. And, uh if |
|
|
02:36 | don't have something for timing and most a lot of times in the |
|
|
02:40 | uh uh all we had were, , things like ash bed, you |
|
|
02:46 | , an ash bed falls everywhere at time. Uh, in the Kuby |
|
|
02:51 | section where they figured out the original of humanity. Uh They, |
|
|
03:00 | they saw three ash beds and they those three ash beds were everywhere and |
|
|
03:04 | course they were. But the way outcrop was set up, only three |
|
|
03:08 | those ash beds showed up at each crop because the river was cutting through |
|
|
03:13 | . The beds were dipping like The river was incised about the same |
|
|
03:17 | of section turns out there were about ash beds, but the river cut |
|
|
03:24 | a certain uh thickness. The rock rate was about the same. So |
|
|
03:29 | see three beds here. And if go, if you went downstream, |
|
|
03:35 | would be climbing up time in these beds as you went down streams. |
|
|
03:39 | they always only saw three and they they correlated till somebody did some radiometric |
|
|
03:44 | on it. And they realized that was wrong and it, and um |
|
|
03:49 | lot of very strange uh forced um between things to be in an evolutionary |
|
|
04:00 | chain uh really disturbed some people. then they realized they had it all |
|
|
04:05 | . And so they were able to of back out better and it all |
|
|
04:08 | more sense and, uh of it could always happen that it would |
|
|
04:12 | less sense when you got it. . But nevertheless, uh it's really |
|
|
04:17 | when you're correlating to have something that implies time and you have to |
|
|
04:21 | sure it really implies time even though pits go like this forever. This |
|
|
04:28 | doesn't say I'm four million years old the next one doesn't say it's five |
|
|
04:32 | years old. And that's about the of those things in the Kura |
|
|
04:37 | And uh I was able to see certain organisms that live between each one |
|
|
04:42 | those ash beds that could help indicate , the precise age no matter where |
|
|
04:46 | hit it. Um Anyway, uh that's, it's really important. And |
|
|
04:51 | course, you know, you somebody says, well, I want |
|
|
04:54 | do it by lithic. So it's sandstone to sandstone. But, but |
|
|
04:58 | object is connectivity. Uh They don't that in any of these definitions, |
|
|
05:04 | the object is connectivity and uh and uh um from a um purest |
|
|
05:14 | you know, any sandstone correlates to other sandstone, but that's wrong. |
|
|
05:17 | know, a red sandstone from the does not correlate with a red sandstone |
|
|
05:21 | a pleasing. I'm sorry, you , but that would be a lithic |
|
|
05:26 | . I mean, it's so but it has to be stated. |
|
|
05:30 | So anyway, uh other things that can do with this is uh environments |
|
|
05:35 | uh deposition and also the age of rocks. And uh we won't talk |
|
|
05:39 | it in this class. But in class, I talk about how uh |
|
|
05:44 | a thing called bio geo Crinology where these bio events are tied directly |
|
|
05:51 | uh all the radiometric events, things sa propels, which you may or |
|
|
05:56 | not have heard of. Uh you've heard of chromosomes from uh mag magnetic |
|
|
06:01 | chronology and things like that. But magnetic chronology, it has a sequence |
|
|
06:07 | it doesn't have a label on It doesn't tell you that, You |
|
|
06:11 | , this one is the same as one and uh they do have a |
|
|
06:17 | of bands and uh the rock accumulation from 11 well to the next or |
|
|
06:23 | out crop to the next is the . Then you'll see the exact kind |
|
|
06:27 | response and it, it's almost a a fingerprint but it, but it |
|
|
06:31 | always work out that way. So, uh it's really good for |
|
|
06:36 | faults. As I said, I've 30 ft faults in the chalk beds |
|
|
06:41 | no one could even correlate. And uh there's also because, because you |
|
|
06:47 | an idea of the timing, there's certain time in a basin when um |
|
|
06:53 | sections were sealed over a fairly large and they create these sections of overpressure |
|
|
06:58 | so, uh you can also use to uh to do that. That |
|
|
07:03 | a very uh from a safety stand standpoint and saving money. Uh That |
|
|
07:09 | very important. Um I'll also mention in a sequence in the Caspian |
|
|
07:16 | which was almost pure sandstone. It hard to figure out what correlated to |
|
|
07:21 | . And uh they used to have to prove to the uh to the |
|
|
07:27 | Russian trained uh Azar that, uh reached the objective. They said they |
|
|
07:34 | reach to in the contract and they shut the well down, but they |
|
|
07:37 | put a core of it to prove . I was able to go in |
|
|
07:41 | with, with bias and actually shut down early. Ok. Here, |
|
|
07:46 | , one of the problems with bio of course is that we usually use |
|
|
07:51 | of sidewalk cores and cores, which be, uh much more precise. |
|
|
07:55 | use cuttings and because we use uh in other words, things come |
|
|
08:02 | , uh, you have mud, down here in the well bore. |
|
|
08:06 | wonder why this is all comes down and then it, it flows back |
|
|
08:10 | and then into, uh, the and then it goes back in the |
|
|
08:16 | and we collect these, these pieces rock or lumps of mud or whatever |
|
|
08:20 | is off the shaker. Uh, they drop these things down to figure |
|
|
08:26 | the timing and there's other ways they figure out the timing too. |
|
|
08:29 | uh, but when they, when they get that sample, they |
|
|
08:33 | that it has to be as old this. Uh, it, it |
|
|
08:40 | to be somewhere within the age of the section. And so the first |
|
|
08:44 | you see a new fossil that would the top of that fossil in |
|
|
08:48 | well, it's the first time you it. In other words, you |
|
|
08:50 | a range like this vertically in, the section when the drill bet hits |
|
|
08:55 | the first time it gets there and up that fossil, we know that |
|
|
09:00 | got to be at least that old a little bit younger, but |
|
|
09:07 | but it's gotta be at least that to hit that fossil unless it's |
|
|
09:12 | And so we, we base everything tops and this is, uh something |
|
|
09:17 | , uh, this is out of , but it's, it's perfectly uh |
|
|
09:21 | for what I'm, uh, trying get across here. Uh There's datum |
|
|
09:26 | , uh Nano plankton, uh Planktonic and AICs. Uh We also have |
|
|
09:31 | whole suite of other types of fossils we can use. And the reason |
|
|
09:35 | would do more, uh is because certain depositional settings, some fossils are |
|
|
09:40 | preserved, some fossils are better represented , uh, you'd have less |
|
|
09:46 | Uh The benthic forms of, you see over here they're not as uh |
|
|
09:52 | in deep water sections, but they be useful in terms of paleo environments |
|
|
09:57 | uh some of these things are deepwater and they help us understand what the |
|
|
10:02 | Bemet is and that's why we would this group. And uh nano fossils |
|
|
10:07 | very rapidly through the Sanzo and uh of the Mesozoic because of that, |
|
|
10:13 | have a lot more uh new inceptions extinctions of fossils uh that allow us |
|
|
10:19 | pick uh a lot more detail. A um B P uh I keep |
|
|
10:27 | , I'm shaking the nothing but it's the building anyway. Uh uh a |
|
|
10:33 | at B P recently published about a ago, um a brand new chart |
|
|
10:38 | here and he worked at uh A he was, he was in my |
|
|
10:42 | and uh this section right here uh modern day technology, we've got probably |
|
|
10:51 | nano fossil extinctions and inception events uh that you can use and not only |
|
|
10:58 | , but there's also uh some well blooms of these things over certain periods |
|
|
11:03 | their existence. In other words, might have had a big bloom near |
|
|
11:06 | end of it, a big bloom the bottom or one in the |
|
|
11:09 | And uh and uh that's another thing you can use as a biomarker, |
|
|
11:15 | , which uh again, this these things will be found in a |
|
|
11:19 | that crosses this interval right about And when you get down here, |
|
|
11:23 | might start finding this one but you also find all of these caved in |
|
|
11:28 | it. But when you see this , the first one down here, |
|
|
11:31 | , you know, it's, it's, it's the one you wanna |
|
|
11:34 | with looking at Paleo bathymetry is kind the same thing except in reverse because |
|
|
11:40 | falls down the hill. And uh, if you see all this |
|
|
11:45 | stuff and all of a sudden there's , an older one in there, |
|
|
11:47 | know that it, I mean, me, shallower things fall down the |
|
|
11:51 | when you see something that's deeper water up in the middle of it and |
|
|
11:55 | know, that you've gotten into something deeper, that's had a downslope transport |
|
|
12:01 | . Ok. Here's the, uh, shell shaker in action |
|
|
12:05 | uh, someone comes in here and scoops some of this up and puts |
|
|
12:09 | in a bag and figures out what calculated moment is. If he goes |
|
|
12:13 | a cigarette break, the next three might be from the same spot. |
|
|
12:19 | , uh, which, which is good, but, uh, a |
|
|
12:22 | of times, uh, um, have pretty long distances which makes it |
|
|
12:27 | for one person to do it. whenever we, whenever anybody in the |
|
|
12:31 | would catch it closer, like a or, uh, or say five |
|
|
12:36 | or 10 ft, uh, they would have two people catching it |
|
|
12:39 | uh, they can make sure they catching it at the right time. |
|
|
12:45 | . Uh Here's an, an example . Uh This is the Caspian |
|
|
12:51 | I'm in a um Jet Ranger two over uh this big causeway that goes |
|
|
12:57 | the Aaron Ridge. And uh they uh I don't know if you can |
|
|
13:01 | if they have all these dereks sticking on the air, on these, |
|
|
13:04 | old platforms and they used to have set of casings that would come from |
|
|
13:09 | Dereck and get completed there and then each one of those wells, they'd |
|
|
13:13 | a pipeline. And one of the things is the pipelines uh are all |
|
|
13:18 | now. And when you fly over part of the Caspian Sea, you |
|
|
13:20 | see oil sheens all over the which is a form of remote sensing |
|
|
13:25 | will come up in the next We get to it. And uh |
|
|
13:29 | was also a, a James Bond that uh had a, had a |
|
|
13:33 | catastrophic ending out here on one of uh platforms. Um Probably most of |
|
|
13:40 | was C G I, but it look pretty uh pretty authentic. Uh |
|
|
13:45 | , uh it's, it's a really uh body of water and it's very |
|
|
13:48 | in spots uh or something that's uh of a lake that had an opening |
|
|
13:57 | uh the sea and whatnot. But the uh this shell shaker comes from |
|
|
14:01 | rig that's out there. Here is looking at water depths and here's uh |
|
|
14:07 | marine things. Marginal marine, inner , middle Neri. This is looking |
|
|
14:13 | uh primarily be for and if and different assemblages you'll see at different water |
|
|
14:20 | and remember anything can get, catch ride on a turbidity current and go |
|
|
14:24 | down this uh slope and mix with these deeper water things. But |
|
|
14:29 | if you're up here, you're not see those deeper water things. If |
|
|
14:32 | down here, you could see the water things and some of the shallow |
|
|
14:36 | . So this is a way uh we sort it out. So it's |
|
|
14:39 | a straightforward answer uh without doing some duty uh analyses that we uh we |
|
|
14:45 | a lot of tools to do OK. And this is just uh |
|
|
14:49 | you how significant this is with, terms of episodes, I think I |
|
|
14:53 | have showed you this in the very . But uh the, the orange |
|
|
14:58 | are depositional sequences. The blue spots gaps in the rock record. But |
|
|
15:04 | the rock record and in the weld yellow, this yellow sits on top |
|
|
15:09 | that yellow sits on top. In words, it's a complete rock |
|
|
15:12 | but there's missing section in it and can't see it because it sits on |
|
|
15:16 | of it. And uh obviously, you pushed all these up together uh |
|
|
15:21 | they are and tried to correlate the depths sort of these things. If |
|
|
15:27 | were on strike, you know, , you could possibly be way off |
|
|
15:31 | some of these things had different, missing time. In fact, uh |
|
|
15:35 | missing time quite erratic and some of had to do with these things were |
|
|
15:39 | deposited in different mini basins and some the mini basins would fill in and |
|
|
15:44 | would stop. And then the next down from it would start to fill |
|
|
15:48 | as it overflowed into it. That was not getting any sediment while this |
|
|
15:52 | was filling. And again, you correlate all these sands. It might |
|
|
15:57 | almost exactly the same because it's the sort of depositional sequence in terms of |
|
|
16:02 | setting and uh and timing overall in of rock accumulation rate. But, |
|
|
16:07 | they're completely different ages and they're, they're separated by mini bases and the |
|
|
16:12 | around the mini bases. And uh so again, that's, that's a |
|
|
16:17 | of correlation that you, that you to see. OK, that's the |
|
|
16:21 | of that. So not like we go into a lot of detail in |
|
|
16:26 | . But I want you to be that there are, there are tools |
|
|
16:31 | there that we often use and some we don't use enough. And um |
|
|
16:37 | sure that's one of them. And uh sequence photography came along, uh |
|
|
17:05 | Vale was a, was a huge of tying bio Strat to the sequence |
|
|
17:12 | uh because you get these down lap or truncation lap out. Uh you |
|
|
17:19 | , you can kind of, you , something that builds on a surface |
|
|
17:22 | this is uh is gonna be younger, younger, younger, younger |
|
|
17:26 | that. So you can kind of a relative sense. But if you |
|
|
17:30 | fossil data in there, you can more detail that they may, you |
|
|
17:33 | easily miss and uh it's a really tool. Uh Most of the people |
|
|
17:38 | teach sequence photography uh will tell you um resolution is around uh several million |
|
|
17:47 | . But some of those things I showing you on the Plyo Pine |
|
|
17:52 | the resolution there was uh Uh probably than a half a million years. |
|
|
17:58 | if you put the 500 bio events there, you had places where the |
|
|
18:03 | was less than a thou less than years. OK. Not a million |
|
|
18:07 | , but less than 10,000 years. nobody goes out after that if they |
|
|
18:12 | know it. So I'm kind of you guys know. So now we're |
|
|
18:23 | look at some other uh tools that we use in the oil industry and |
|
|
18:29 | course, geophysical methods are huge and just mentioned that we were ranked number |
|
|
18:34 | in the world uh after Colorado School mines. Um And so we're gonna |
|
|
18:41 | at some of some of the aspects seismic reflection mostly uh it pretty much |
|
|
18:47 | pertains to refraction in some ways. uh uh especially certain parts of it |
|
|
18:54 | when we do uh converted waves and God, I lost my queer. |
|
|
19:04 | we'll look at uh um some of more uh these sort of uh primarily |
|
|
19:11 | with uh an active source of energy these are passive tools uh that just |
|
|
19:16 | what's going on. OK. Uh data is The seismic method itself has |
|
|
19:25 | big steps. One is a seismic . Another one is processing. Once |
|
|
19:30 | acquire the data, you process the . Um what you saw in the |
|
|
19:37 | when they first started doing just geophysics the forties and maybe even a little |
|
|
19:41 | earlier and what you end up with completely different than what we see |
|
|
19:46 | But uh the methods and, and theory gone behind it have a lot |
|
|
19:50 | do with it when I was a student here in uh milk, do |
|
|
19:55 | of the leaders in uh petroleum Um I was taking classes one end |
|
|
20:04 | the hall, I'd walk by the classroom. They'd have a blackboard about |
|
|
20:08 | long as this white board and he'd with an integral on one end and |
|
|
20:14 | would just keep an equation would just going and going and going and going |
|
|
20:20 | the whole page. And uh bottom when they came out of there, |
|
|
20:24 | could do a lot of math and but a lot of that has been |
|
|
20:30 | pretty much uh aside from the people develop the software has been put into |
|
|
20:35 | software, the algorithms. Uh so uh a lot of people don't ever |
|
|
20:41 | uh look at uh uh the, mathematics of the calculus. But the |
|
|
20:49 | but one of the good things we back then was we had for |
|
|
20:52 | And uh one of the neat things for three and four, you could |
|
|
20:56 | 100 lines and it could do what thousands of lines in a graphical |
|
|
21:02 | You know, for example, um would uh if I was gonna do |
|
|
21:07 | cluster analysis, I had a program had 100 lines to it. And |
|
|
21:13 | you got the output, it would you how to connect all these |
|
|
21:16 | but it wouldn't draw it for But if you get one that |
|
|
21:19 | it makes a really nice thing to in the power point. It takes |
|
|
21:23 | and thousands of lines of code to make it work. So, |
|
|
21:27 | part of the neat thing about having computers is it forced humans to think |
|
|
21:34 | to uh to get things to right? You know, we had |
|
|
21:36 | these loops that did the same thing and over again and we could take |
|
|
21:40 | loop and put it to another formula get it to do a loop in |
|
|
21:44 | uh algorithm, do a loop in one and then add them together and |
|
|
21:47 | all sorts of stuff. Without writing much code. Nowadays, everything is |
|
|
21:51 | painstakingly written out, which is why takes them a long time to get |
|
|
21:55 | the bugs out. Uh Anyway, , so there was, there was |
|
|
22:00 | sense of efficiency and, and direct of what was going on in that |
|
|
22:05 | . Now, I think we're, separated from the process. So we |
|
|
22:10 | always really know what's going on in process. We don't always know what's |
|
|
22:14 | what's right or wrong. So you'll of see that in, in old |
|
|
22:18 | versus new seismic. Um Anyway, so after processing and the things that |
|
|
22:26 | do in processing are to try to the signal and reduce the noise. |
|
|
22:31 | in some cases, evaluate certain attributes , of the amplitudes that we see |
|
|
22:37 | in a seismic uh reflection record. And then the other thing we do |
|
|
22:43 | interpretation, the people that do these uh in oil industry are often treated |
|
|
22:51 | uh highly intellectual tech technologies. Uh uh but the guys that may have |
|
|
22:59 | themselves from all these details are the that do the interpretations. They're the |
|
|
23:05 | that get the big bucks and become and all that kind of thing just |
|
|
23:08 | , you know, OK, here uh a very simple diagram of, |
|
|
23:17 | how this all works out. Uh it has an energy source. Um |
|
|
23:23 | actually used to use dynamite, then started using these big whopping big uh |
|
|
23:29 | and, and Boomers and uh and think they still use those in |
|
|
23:35 | Uh I haven't been on a research in a while But uh when I |
|
|
23:39 | doing a study in the Gulf of , I was on a team. |
|
|
23:43 | , we had 3 uh a a banger, a poer and a |
|
|
23:48 | . And uh one's gone like this high frequency and then there's another one |
|
|
23:56 | and then another one is like, that was the boomer. OK. |
|
|
24:01 | the, and the um the lower penetrate deeper but the higher frequencies uh |
|
|
24:07 | the wave is is shorter uh are precise. So the shell, the |
|
|
24:13 | the high frequency would we bounce off ocean floor and give us the water |
|
|
24:19 | and uh and then the other one give us some detail in the, |
|
|
24:21 | the, the recent settlements. And the, the boomer would, would |
|
|
24:25 | down here like this. And uh annoying as that was, it wasn't |
|
|
24:29 | loud as the uh the bunk room I I slept in on this ship |
|
|
24:34 | uh we had a single whole research and that thing went on all night |
|
|
24:39 | . And uh we asked the medic uh earplugs and he said no, |
|
|
24:45 | I can give you some Valium. uh so, so what happens if |
|
|
24:53 | need stitches anyway? Uh So you know, you bounce this thing |
|
|
24:59 | and you have to you have travel and it takes time to go here |
|
|
25:01 | it takes time to go there. of course, uh if it goes |
|
|
25:04 | like this pops up here, uh a little bit less time than getting |
|
|
25:10 | there and less time than getting to . Of course, getting down here |
|
|
25:14 | bouncing up to this one pretty It is quicker, but also the |
|
|
25:19 | of, of the seismic wave coming uh is gonna have an impact on |
|
|
25:25 | much reflection you get. And that'll up when we talk about amplitude versus |
|
|
25:30 | . But this is how you do . Two D one, you'd have |
|
|
25:33 | streamer here with G phones, basically in the surface. And so what |
|
|
25:38 | of energy went through here? Uh we, when we pop something source |
|
|
25:43 | energy, what type of waves would have going through the ocean? What |
|
|
25:55 | of waves sonic? So, Well, yeah, but what pr |
|
|
26:04 | yeah, we have P waves, waves because uh secondary waves can't go |
|
|
26:10 | this water call. Now, if on surface, you could do the |
|
|
26:13 | thing. But nevertheless, it was of developed uh uh for offshore almost |
|
|
26:20 | fast as it was done for But uh they were always doing, |
|
|
26:23 | often just doing primary waves anyway, in the beginning. OK. Then |
|
|
26:30 | came up with this idea of 3D then, then 3D, multiple Asma |
|
|
26:35 | where um uh you've got things tracking this direction and things tracking in this |
|
|
26:43 | , then you have things tracking in direction so that you have all these |
|
|
26:48 | . Um you know, you have energy source and you have all these |
|
|
26:53 | picking up things. Uh So that this, well, this isn't any |
|
|
27:00 | , but like here, instead of going like two dimensionally from here to |
|
|
27:05 | , it would also go up and come up to, you know, |
|
|
27:10 | have a, a streamer with geophones would be offset, it'd be way |
|
|
27:16 | of it. And then of they crisscross the whole thing so that |
|
|
27:19 | , so they have energy wave measurements like this, in other words, |
|
|
27:26 | then when going, the one that come down over here and come up |
|
|
27:30 | way, so you'd have a 360 practically view of of anything. And |
|
|
27:35 | course, the in the processing and algorithms they pulled all that information together |
|
|
27:40 | create what they would call a 3d . And uh Kurt Marrett used to |
|
|
27:46 | here and he was one of the that helped develop the uh the 3d |
|
|
27:50 | cube. And, and what, was a real 3d volume in the |
|
|
27:54 | place he used to teach here. moved up to Oklahoma, unfortunately, |
|
|
27:58 | he still comes down and teaches courses the professional. OK. Here's another |
|
|
28:04 | . Uh you can uh set off primary waves and they come down and |
|
|
28:08 | course, even this diagram is a oversimplified, but when uh you get |
|
|
28:14 | reflector, of course, something might off this surface and maybe this one |
|
|
28:18 | , but when you get something to it, it uh it reflects not |
|
|
28:24 | a P wave but P waves and waves. And so they're called converted |
|
|
28:29 | . And so this S wave comes here, but unless you have something |
|
|
28:33 | the sea floor, uh these O systems, Ocean Bottom survey uh geophones |
|
|
28:41 | which are very expensive to uh to out because you're gonna leave them there |
|
|
28:47 | a while. And uh and so lay these things out and uh uh |
|
|
28:53 | can also pick up the converted wave the converted S wave and the P |
|
|
28:58 | , the primary waves that bounce off reflection and all the reflections actually. |
|
|
29:06 | . So um another thing that we uh are uh sonic logs uh When |
|
|
29:14 | do that Sonic log in a well , you also get an idea of |
|
|
29:18 | the interval, we can figure out interval velocities in a well bore or |
|
|
29:21 | section that we might be seismic And uh this helps us sort it |
|
|
29:26 | because as you can imagine, uh layers of rock can change in |
|
|
29:31 | And what if there was a sand over here and shale over there, |
|
|
29:34 | density is gonna change. So we we often think that we have sort |
|
|
29:39 | a linear, uh you know, here's the velocity here. It took |
|
|
29:43 | this long to get to here, long to get to there, we |
|
|
29:47 | a straight line and that's what the profile is, you know, 11 |
|
|
29:50 | section. And uh but now we , uh you know, with the |
|
|
29:55 | log, you can subdivide it into . And there's also these things that |
|
|
29:59 | call check shots, uh which help record velocities getting to a certain point |
|
|
30:05 | the well and uh and returning back the surface. And then of |
|
|
30:10 | BS P vertical seismic profiles uh help do a little bit even even more |
|
|
30:15 | and trying to figure out What that profile is at any given point because |
|
|
30:21 | though we might have the same layers miles across like this, the density |
|
|
30:25 | the rocks may change a little bit uh particularly if you have uh oil |
|
|
30:29 | gas. And uh and so, you know, you're gonna have something |
|
|
30:35 | it down, it's gonna come up than it should. If it speeds |
|
|
30:38 | up, it's gonna be lower than should be at any given point. |
|
|
30:41 | you might have flat surface that's going this just because your interval velocities are |
|
|
30:47 | above it. And this is just you um uh how we do check |
|
|
30:54 | and they're uh onshore. There's a of companies that sell uh checks shot |
|
|
31:00 | for about 100 bucks a well, it's really helpful if you get three |
|
|
31:04 | uh 3d seismic data and uh doing like that. I've, I've been |
|
|
31:10 | to identify some stuff underneath um the campus, but not under this campus |
|
|
31:16 | we had a seismic survey and we get it deep enough because uh we |
|
|
31:20 | , we had uh four environment seismic trucks and apparently one of them wasn't |
|
|
31:27 | out any energy at all. They trouble with the transmission and somebody just |
|
|
31:31 | turned it off so they could roll vehicle. The people that did it |
|
|
31:35 | us were friends of the uh of of the board of directors. And |
|
|
31:39 | when I told him what happened, was really pissed off at me. |
|
|
31:42 | we may never get Dawson Geophysical to back and do this again. |
|
|
31:47 | you know, when there's no data out of some, no energy coming |
|
|
31:49 | of something, it's, it's fairly . And uh this is just showing |
|
|
31:54 | how vertical seismic profiling goes and you can have uh uh tools uh |
|
|
32:00 | go down and, and pick up uh check shots, but they also |
|
|
32:06 | these uh converted waves and pick up going on with the reflectors and that |
|
|
32:10 | of thing. And uh there's different of doing it where you can have |
|
|
32:14 | moving source and there's ways where you have uh one source and you're moving |
|
|
32:20 | uh receivers up and down and you have multiple receivers. So there's a |
|
|
32:24 | of different things. Your book, book has, uh this is called |
|
|
32:27 | Walkway V S P. But your has um um uh a lot of |
|
|
32:35 | that will uh different strategies that you do with this to try to get |
|
|
32:39 | detail. And sometimes you can do of them in one sort of object |
|
|
32:44 | is to uh this is a synthetic log seismic log from a, a |
|
|
32:51 | well, and this is kind of the V S P looks like. |
|
|
32:55 | this one was with a walkway And uh and you can kind of |
|
|
33:02 | AAA really good idea of what, the uh big amplitudes are, where |
|
|
33:06 | troughs in the valleys are in this . And uh and then tie it |
|
|
33:11 | to the interval velocity. So it's really good way to help tie um |
|
|
33:17 | the interval velocity directly to the which you have, particularly if you |
|
|
33:21 | wells in the in the vicinity. uh this is just a diagram to |
|
|
33:30 | you that um you know, quite , you know, you have uh |
|
|
33:36 | lines going a certain way and then have um uh these other things of |
|
|
33:44 | you know, your wells will be different places, but you try to |
|
|
33:46 | them to fit on these things, they're offset uh I think the best |
|
|
33:50 | to explain is the geometries are not that easy to set up. You |
|
|
33:54 | it, the two D line, know, you have something straight and |
|
|
33:58 | not gonna have all your wells lined with it. So you're, you |
|
|
34:02 | , the geometry, there's gonna be little bit off when we did |
|
|
34:05 | um, the survey downtown. Of , we had to follow the |
|
|
34:08 | So there were dog legs in it stuff like that. So, you |
|
|
34:12 | , when you see the two D , you think it's one flat |
|
|
34:14 | but it was, it was going this on the surface and that adds |
|
|
34:18 | little bit of an issue to the . So sometimes Uh you know, |
|
|
34:23 | wanna always be able to tie to a well log like this, |
|
|
34:28 | uh at the same time, it's always 100% match. And again, |
|
|
34:33 | uh interval velocities can change rapidly depending the depositional environment and the bases within |
|
|
34:40 | depositional environment. And the ferocity and , and the uh fluid that builds |
|
|
34:44 | ferocity can cause all sorts of issues . So it's um there's a reason |
|
|
34:50 | the equations cover the whole, the of Blackwood. OK. Um And |
|
|
35:00 | interesting is they always zero something out it's probably a really important thing. |
|
|
35:07 | . So uh we kind of talked uh acquisition. Now, I'm just |
|
|
35:12 | give you examples of the, a of the different ways they process and |
|
|
35:18 | . And uh this is just a list of things we do. Uh |
|
|
35:22 | uh uh seismic conversion of course, trying to figure out what that uh |
|
|
35:27 | the geology is being reflected in that signal and uh migration. Uh You |
|
|
35:33 | , if you hit something that's got heist uh slope to it, you |
|
|
35:38 | , if everything's flat, you you get, you know, the |
|
|
35:41 | way travel time is simple. But it's like this, uh this is |
|
|
35:45 | take longer than it is for So it's kind of, it's kind |
|
|
35:48 | making something look like it's farther away deeper. And so, uh so |
|
|
35:54 | you have uh uh significant slopes and , you need to, you need |
|
|
35:58 | do some migration on it. Uh is, is something uh that becomes |
|
|
36:05 | really important. Uh If you have ringing uh surface like sea floor, |
|
|
36:11 | they can kind of throw you off that's the only thing. Uh |
|
|
36:16 | you know, you get energy that like straight from the, from the |
|
|
36:21 | source and, and you need to some of that out. Uh There's |
|
|
36:26 | where uh the phase of the signals need to, uh given the |
|
|
36:30 | you need to make sure that you the data all set in phase. |
|
|
36:34 | uh uh one of the easiest things me to tell you is that frequency |
|
|
36:39 | are really important because like if you're something on the surface and you have |
|
|
36:42 | power line which has 60 Hertz energy out of it, it can have |
|
|
36:46 | impact. So you got to get of that specific uh frequency that you've |
|
|
36:50 | on the uh the, the field coming off the power line. And |
|
|
36:55 | little things that uh you learn right if your geophysics and um here's uh |
|
|
37:04 | thing uh this, of course, there are methods of, of uh |
|
|
37:09 | where porosity is. And of here, the um that would for |
|
|
37:15 | most part, one of the biggest is, you know, if you |
|
|
37:18 | velocity and you have a fluid in , it's probably gonna slow down the |
|
|
37:21 | . And this looks like a uh an anti coin formed by something that |
|
|
37:25 | fluid in it. You've got a anti coin here probably. Uh |
|
|
37:30 | but this uh uh thick section of is gonna slow it down a lot |
|
|
37:36 | it's gonna um uh off to the could make, could make it look |
|
|
37:42 | . Uh But in the middle, you know, it, it's uh |
|
|
37:47 | reflection could come back a little bit uh above it. And uh and |
|
|
37:53 | , it'll look like uh you have there when there's, when there's not |
|
|
37:57 | uh actual anticline there. But here's uh just showing you some uh |
|
|
38:03 | in the porosity and density in the . Here, uh they've looked at |
|
|
38:07 | and this isn't looking at it in a section. This is just |
|
|
38:11 | at a surface uh image of And here you have channels that are |
|
|
38:16 | these uh uh these attributes that suggest they've got some ferocity in here and |
|
|
38:25 | looks like the fingers of a uh fan. And uh another thing that |
|
|
38:32 | can do is if you have uh at certain attributes and you can uh |
|
|
38:36 | can tell that dips are changing and . Uh So it suggests that you |
|
|
38:41 | a lot of faulting and micro fracturing on in here. And uh if |
|
|
38:46 | have a flat surface uh like a that's deposited flat and it starts to |
|
|
38:52 | , it'll start to fracture a lot you can start seeing a lot of |
|
|
38:56 | smaller like this probably would be a through here. But some of these |
|
|
39:01 | things might be simple, uh fracture that can be sorted out as |
|
|
39:05 | So any time you see a line it can be fault or fracture and |
|
|
39:10 | it's something worth investigating. And of , normally when they run that kind |
|
|
39:15 | a survey they're looking for in, particular. And uh also uh curvature |
|
|
39:20 | a limestone uh is another thing that , it gives away that it's, |
|
|
39:24 | it's been uh uh structurally deformed and deformation of a brittle rock is gonna |
|
|
39:33 | and this is uh showing you here's an amplitude at attribute. Um |
|
|
39:42 | helps them see um um more of uh the hydrocarbon fluids uh that uh |
|
|
39:52 | with shear wave data, you can a little bit of a change in |
|
|
39:56 | without the shear wave data, you see as much of a change uh |
|
|
40:01 | these two things. But uh the that this is seeing a change in |
|
|
40:05 | density of the rocks not being affected the fluids uh is uh is sort |
|
|
40:11 | a dead uh a dead certain indicator you've got more hydrocarbons in there |
|
|
40:18 | than you could see with just the wave of technology. Here's something uh |
|
|
40:24 | improving interval and uh velocities uh In diagram, this is a two |
|
|
40:32 | Um And I I I think this in, in Russia, the uh |
|
|
40:40 | look, it looks like you have of a flat line thing. So |
|
|
40:44 | in the beginning when you go like an exploration area front to your exploration |
|
|
40:48 | , you might not have any information give you good interval velocities. And |
|
|
40:52 | it looks like this. So when dealing with data like this, you |
|
|
40:57 | uh legacy data like this that you're with. And uh they're being really |
|
|
41:02 | about new uh surveys these days. you may end up seeing stuff like |
|
|
41:07 | but uh quite often um little flexures this could be very significant and you |
|
|
41:13 | tell because it's sort of been uh out and uh and here, uh |
|
|
41:19 | it was reprocessed with uh better uh seismic lines, you know, something |
|
|
41:29 | was slowing down the signal here. So it made something that was shallow |
|
|
41:35 | look deeper than it should have And uh and so that's what you |
|
|
41:39 | this draw from that. So, other words, the velocities were slower |
|
|
41:43 | here uh making this uh looked like was deeper than it really was. |
|
|
41:52 | is uh another noise reduction thing. uh this is a slumber, |
|
|
41:58 | a slide. And um you it's real obvious that uh uh you |
|
|
42:05 | , the continuity of some of these reflectors is a little bit uh more |
|
|
42:11 | over here after they've reduced some of noise. Sometimes these filters are almost |
|
|
42:16 | contrasts. And um I remember when was working at Mobile, we didn't |
|
|
42:22 | um I was in production and most the geophysics were assigned to exploration. |
|
|
42:29 | uh so we didn't really have someone help us. So, what |
|
|
42:32 | I learned to do is take something looked like this, put it in |
|
|
42:36 | xerox machine which automatically increases the contract uh it starts to make the dark |
|
|
42:44 | look darker and the light things look . And uh and so, and |
|
|
42:50 | haven't done it yet, but uh uh when I was reviewing this, |
|
|
42:54 | thinking, why don't I do And just show them what I'm talking |
|
|
42:57 | . But, uh, if I this in xerox it, xerox |
|
|
43:01 | and then xerox the xerox and then , the xerox, you're probably gonna |
|
|
43:06 | up with something that looks like And it's, uh, and |
|
|
43:12 | you know, it's just, there's always a, um, analog |
|
|
43:16 | to do something that we do with computer. Ok. And here |
|
|
43:21 | uh, next thing, of Mhm. It's the seismic interpretation and |
|
|
43:27 | course, seismic interpretation is very different two D versus 3d versus four D |
|
|
43:34 | uh 3D is great stuff. And , you create these amazing uh |
|
|
43:39 | But again, if you, if don't understand two D in this direction |
|
|
43:44 | two D in that direction uh to with, and maybe what if I |
|
|
43:50 | something going off in this direction? is that gonna change uh what I |
|
|
43:55 | in that vertical sequence um you three 3d spoils you and, and |
|
|
44:01 | it harder for you to think in dimensions. And you always have to |
|
|
44:05 | able to do that when you're, you're trying to place wells and that |
|
|
44:08 | of OK. And here is just showing you uh an example of a |
|
|
44:15 | D seismic line out of Shepherd's And then he shows you how uh |
|
|
44:21 | the structure really looks. And can can you see what, what the |
|
|
44:28 | that came up with this can see that line. Can you see |
|
|
44:32 | And trust me? Um See, don't know if, you know, |
|
|
44:37 | you've got something like here and they have known maybe with some gravity mag |
|
|
44:43 | that, that this section of rock going. So they just extended these |
|
|
44:47 | down like that. Of course, they went in with 3d seismic and |
|
|
44:51 | more energy sources, they were able see a lot of this faulty. |
|
|
44:55 | also knew with, with the uh tectonic model was in the area. |
|
|
45:00 | they knew what kind of faults to looking for and they knew the style |
|
|
45:04 | faulting and, and again, when you have to do that and |
|
|
45:11 | have to think in your head and just see a picture that shows you |
|
|
45:16 | . Yeah. Yeah, you just this picture. You may not remember |
|
|
45:21 | what it was like. But if had to look at a diagram like |
|
|
45:25 | and figure that out, you would that section a whole lot better than |
|
|
45:29 | that saw it in 3D. Here's example um um of uh here is |
|
|
45:40 | this is what it is in two travel time. Uh This is, |
|
|
45:44 | is again a two-way travel time here I can see see what it is |
|
|
45:49 | here on the side. And here is again the interpretation of what it |
|
|
45:55 | . Now, if we converted this depth, you know, it could |
|
|
45:59 | a whole different thing, two way time uh is, is simply uh |
|
|
46:04 | simply uh looking at the se now, when we map it on |
|
|
46:08 | surface, of course, we might looking at this surface right here and |
|
|
46:14 | a high like that and that might what this is. And so this |
|
|
46:20 | be that high. And then as go into the cooler things were coming |
|
|
46:24 | off that structure. And um one the things uh when you're in the |
|
|
46:30 | and you're mapping things, you we, we map, we |
|
|
46:34 | it's like when you're in the field I guess nobody watching on when you're |
|
|
46:43 | key on the field a lot, have a surface like this and you |
|
|
46:47 | have or you have no problem with , you see those. But when |
|
|
46:55 | in the sub circuit, you know you see here, you have. |
|
|
47:06 | sound of the and so it might surface is up like that. |
|
|
47:24 | this was an outro. OK. When you, when you map that |
|
|
47:34 | , you don't see this, you see what you would see. So |
|
|
47:47 | , normally when you're in an everybody here, I think had field |
|
|
47:52 | in an outcrop Which, which fault offset. The younger one or the |
|
|
47:57 | one you're looking at a surface you along, you see a fault and |
|
|
48:06 | one that's solid and then there's one it's offset like that, The offset |
|
|
48:17 | is the older one, right? it was like that. Ok. |
|
|
48:20 | you're looking, you're looking at a surface, you're not looking at an |
|
|
48:25 | surface if you look at, rather looking at easily, we have |
|
|
48:37 | that offsets one of these things. , uh, it's the opposite |
|
|
48:42 | The, um, The younger one offset by the old one and, |
|
|
48:49 | , and everybody can go home and about it, but the easiest way |
|
|
48:53 | do it is to, is to , to cut uh 22 by fours |
|
|
48:58 | a 45 degree angle and, and one with the other. And, |
|
|
49:02 | , and you'd be able to see . Uh how many of you knew |
|
|
49:07 | Burke, you knew Kevin Burke. Burke was a really good um tectonic |
|
|
49:15 | , and plate tectonics guy. and I told him this in |
|
|
49:18 | in a meeting one time and he , you're crazy, Don. And |
|
|
49:22 | said, no, think about And I kind of started to explain |
|
|
49:25 | to him. He's the only person ever explained it to without wooden |
|
|
49:31 | You know, you have to get to third grade to, to explain |
|
|
49:34 | to people. But, you for example, the, the board |
|
|
49:38 | a surface and if you have a , that surface is offset, it's |
|
|
49:42 | truncated like that with a fault on , that surface is actually offset. |
|
|
49:46 | so, um, so the the younger one actually is offset by |
|
|
49:51 | because it has to move down, that surface. Yeah, but if |
|
|
49:59 | can figure it out on your own your head, then, you |
|
|
50:00 | you have 3D, a concept of 3D geology. OK. Here's, |
|
|
50:07 | a diagram just showing you again, sort of uh to get some of |
|
|
50:11 | points across. This is what it like in a two D section. |
|
|
50:15 | what it looks like as a And so you have um these faults |
|
|
50:20 | ridges and faults and there's like a depression on there. So this is |
|
|
50:24 | up thrown side, the upturn the downturn side. And uh and |
|
|
50:29 | , it's showing you this kind of feature as you go along it uh |
|
|
50:33 | the Gulf of SIU is. And , you know, this area, |
|
|
50:39 | , you know this area, when you're in the subsurface, it |
|
|
50:44 | matter whether you're onshore or offshore. , it's, you're looking at surfaces |
|
|
50:48 | not uh P P A plane surfaces , or uh eroded outcrops. |
|
|
50:57 | Some of the other things that we are these things called uh direct hydrocarbon |
|
|
51:02 | . And uh this, this is um a um sort of an, |
|
|
51:11 | clinal feature up here. But then here you get this flattening of velocities |
|
|
51:18 | because it should pull up, but taking longer to get through that |
|
|
51:23 | So it flattens it down on the . So you have something we |
|
|
51:27 | it's like a bird's eye and here's one where it actually goes even |
|
|
51:32 | Um, here you have, the trough down here and, |
|
|
51:37 | uh, uh, and then you , you have the high amplitude up |
|
|
51:44 | . It's, uh, it's pulled and here it's goes through the fluid |
|
|
51:48 | slows down and you get this thing looks exactly like a bird's eye. |
|
|
51:52 | that, that's one of the, direct hydrocarbon indicators. And of |
|
|
51:56 | uh when I was doing work, know, any time it was |
|
|
51:59 | it was kind of like, um know, the resistivity gone off the |
|
|
52:03 | if it was a really a great , uh either way, uh it |
|
|
52:09 | something that we looked at uh with because it could have been an indication |
|
|
52:13 | uh gas. OK. Then there's thing called amplitude versus offset and uh |
|
|
52:21 | a or angle. And uh when we were uh talking about uh |
|
|
52:28 | source and then, you know, the receivers over here. Um One |
|
|
52:34 | the things is, is when it down like this and comes back |
|
|
52:38 | um that angle is really tight, as you get farther out here, |
|
|
52:43 | angle is wide. And um Fred always explains it this way because I |
|
|
52:49 | my head and give me some But, but like, for |
|
|
52:53 | like if I'm looking in this I can see a pretty bright reflection |
|
|
52:58 | of this if I come here, that impact on in. And, |
|
|
53:09 | , and so that offset because you fluids, like in this example, |
|
|
53:17 | , you have water here, you have oil here and you have |
|
|
53:22 | here and it's gonna impact, the S waves. Uh, you're |
|
|
53:28 | , you're gonna see a change in amplitude, uh, as you get |
|
|
53:33 | and farther away from the source. other words, we take a shot |
|
|
53:36 | and we move it and then there's four geophones here and we keep moving |
|
|
53:40 | . So we're, we're moving But that distance, the ones over |
|
|
53:45 | oftentimes are gonna be higher reflectivity, , if you have oil and gas |
|
|
53:50 | here. But the, but there depending on the exact lithograph, the |
|
|
53:57 | , um, you know, do have inter collations of shale in your |
|
|
54:02 | ? Uh What, what is the fluid? Is it fis gas |
|
|
54:06 | is it oil, is it oil a lot of gas in it? |
|
|
54:10 | gonna impact that reflectivity. And so really complicated. And what Fred Hiltermann |
|
|
54:15 | been doing over the last 10 years he's been looking at a lot of |
|
|
54:19 | , uh A B O things and was one of the first ones to |
|
|
54:22 | up with amplitude versus offset and help it with several people. Another |
|
|
54:28 | uh, George Smith from, uh Africa and a few other people around |
|
|
54:32 | world. I, I don't know of them because I'm not a |
|
|
54:35 | But if you were a geophysicist, might know. But anyway, |
|
|
54:40 | uh he's, he's doing a So there's a feel say uh in |
|
|
54:45 | Island and there's one in South Marsh , there's one in uh main pass |
|
|
54:50 | . Uh You know, he's looking the different types of uh A B |
|
|
54:55 | responses you get based on the types reservoirs they have in those areas. |
|
|
55:00 | he's making an encyclopedia slash catalog of these different types of things. And |
|
|
55:06 | this diagram here shows you one that , you know, it looks pretty |
|
|
55:11 | like this, uh what you'd expect of this. And here, here |
|
|
55:16 | the near traces of an event and are the far traces and you can |
|
|
55:21 | that the near um traces are, brightening up uh over here in, |
|
|
55:29 | this section so that you're kind of uh sort, it's brightening up because |
|
|
55:33 | there's because there's oil and gas instead water in, in that section. |
|
|
55:38 | , here's another one here and uh is displayed kind of differently. This |
|
|
55:44 | um the near response, here's the response and here's the far range. |
|
|
55:50 | other words, uh we're gonna look these near traces at the top, |
|
|
55:55 | mid traces and then the far traces um what you can see here in |
|
|
56:03 | , well, um you can see there's an increase from near to mid |
|
|
56:11 | uh almost a little bit of one . But the big response is, |
|
|
56:16 | those traces, uh, from near uh, mid midrange. And you |
|
|
56:24 | over here you see near, is not present here. It's brighter, |
|
|
56:29 | then in the park it's brighter. from, from, uh, from |
|
|
56:34 | to far, it gets brighter from to far, it gets brighter. |
|
|
56:39 | , uh over here you can see and that's why there's a dry |
|
|
56:43 | And uh, and then over here going over here? What if I |
|
|
56:50 | the well in here? Yeah. it could be that it's just really |
|
|
56:57 | boomer all the way across this one would have had a good bright |
|
|
57:03 | But uh but I'm, I'm not that could also just uh mean that |
|
|
57:11 | else was going wrong, but that would have been good too. |
|
|
57:16 | Uh Then uh there's uh applications of N S imaging, uh which you |
|
|
57:27 | use to uh further help you reduce multiples from P waves. Uh But |
|
|
57:32 | S waves aren't, aren't affected by uh the fluid. So if |
|
|
57:38 | have a mass of rocks, it's be grain to grain all the way |
|
|
57:41 | and it's gonna pick up porosity. but it's, but any time you |
|
|
57:46 | um fluids, that fluid is not further slow it down. In other |
|
|
57:50 | , the denser the rock, the it's gonna be through that rock and |
|
|
57:54 | gonna be almost pure dense, whereas uh the pea uh is gonna slow |
|
|
58:00 | . Uh not just because of the but because of the fluid that's in |
|
|
58:04 | . And so if you have both those together, you see these significant |
|
|
58:09 | like that diagram I showed you And uh and I'm not gonna read |
|
|
58:14 | all out to you, but uh but you, I want you to |
|
|
58:18 | this so that, you know, of the difference between uh why we |
|
|
58:21 | see these things. And this is little diagram of just showing you. |
|
|
58:27 | you know, sometimes people have a time uh visualizing why um S waves |
|
|
58:37 | impacted by liquids or actually don't even through liquids. So if they don't |
|
|
58:42 | that grain to grain support, you get it. Did anybody think of |
|
|
58:46 | good example of that? Because I tell you when, if, if |
|
|
58:50 | can't think of one just something near ? Excuse me? OK. So |
|
|
59:02 | could you give me like a real example of being able to feel P |
|
|
59:09 | in water but not S waves? . I was, I was a |
|
|
59:18 | in a swimming pool. So, know, you know how people like |
|
|
59:23 | , you know, do like this splash. So you could be under |
|
|
59:26 | and somebody would come down and really hard and splash the water, you |
|
|
59:32 | feel that right? But if the were rippling or if somebody did |
|
|
59:37 | you would never feel it because that wave isn't gonna, is it gonna |
|
|
59:43 | on a surface? But it's not , it's not gonna penetrate that |
|
|
59:47 | It's not gonna penetrate the air. just gonna be on that surface. |
|
|
59:51 | , um, you know, if was solid you could feel, you |
|
|
59:54 | , you could, you know, tickling you or something. But, |
|
|
59:57 | , but you slap, slap that and somebody's heads right underneath it. |
|
|
60:01 | could actually feel that pressure. because it's because it's a coming |
|
|
60:07 | Yeah, low frequency, but it a few. Ok. And, |
|
|
60:16 | I was smart enough not to get that vibrated and stick it in the |
|
|
60:21 | to see if I could feel the because that would have electrocuted somebody. |
|
|
60:30 | . Here's uh just showing you uh know, um again, this is |
|
|
60:36 | gas cloud here for those of you don't know what's happening is there's a |
|
|
60:39 | here and gas is leaking slowly but into the section and that gas cloud |
|
|
60:47 | causing a disruption here. Um Such uh you almost can't see the continuity |
|
|
60:57 | the reflectors at all. You can't the structure or anything. This is |
|
|
61:01 | it would be like uh without O working chalk se uh when you have |
|
|
61:09 | BS, you could see this, could actually see there is structure |
|
|
61:13 | It's not like this. And of , a lot of times that slowdown |
|
|
61:18 | trying to push things down and, , you know, you hit some |
|
|
61:21 | rock and it's trying to pull it . So it, this is, |
|
|
61:25 | sort of, you know, just we call a gas plan here. |
|
|
61:30 | P wave. Oh, excuse the S wave doesn't see the cloud |
|
|
61:33 | all. It just shows you the . So if you had P wave |
|
|
61:37 | you had S wave like this, would it tell you about this |
|
|
61:45 | It had a lot of gas under , you know, and that's why |
|
|
61:47 | seeing that difference. So the clarity you get on this and the difference |
|
|
61:51 | get between the shear wave component and uh P wave component is a, |
|
|
61:57 | a real helpful in terms of C hydro curves. And uh here's just |
|
|
62:05 | example of it, you can see kind of clears it all the way |
|
|
62:09 | . And uh you can, you also use a way there's a way |
|
|
62:13 | integrate the P wave with the shear , the, the part of the |
|
|
62:17 | wave that's useful with the shear wave . And here, here's uh showing |
|
|
62:26 | again um this is that diagram we before here, it is 3D |
|
|
62:33 | And uh it's, and then also down, this is 3D versus OOPS |
|
|
62:40 | here versus the two D. And is with the P wave, excuse |
|
|
62:47 | , with the shear wave or the O BS multi component uh analysis. |
|
|
62:52 | you can see a lot more Again, you know, people, |
|
|
62:57 | have learned how to interpret that type outcrop versus this kind of data. |
|
|
63:04 | is easier to see uh you're less to make mistakes. But at the |
|
|
63:10 | time, there is a value to being able to interpret something that |
|
|
63:15 | already interpreted for you. Cool. um here's, here's another uh example |
|
|
63:25 | this is uh obviously P waves with reflections. This would be P and |
|
|
63:33 | and she reflections and you can get whole lot more detail out of it |
|
|
63:37 | here. And that obviously means something's on in here. Uh which could |
|
|
63:41 | a good, a good thing to . And they, they don't usually |
|
|
63:45 | seismic lines like this and put it a book unless there's a hydrocarbon |
|
|
63:51 | OK. Uh Here's just another example looking at a lot of different types |
|
|
63:56 | uh data and, and seismic and at uh seismic from the beginning of |
|
|
64:03 | , of a discovery to the end a discovery. And uh the field |
|
|
64:08 | Venezuela was discovered quite a while ago uh in the 2004, which is |
|
|
64:17 | a long time ago, Cathy farmer got the best paper of the year |
|
|
64:22 | A A P G and I work her in Norway. Uh But |
|
|
64:26 | it shows you uh what I'm gonna you is from your book, your |
|
|
64:30 | goes through this, the change in uh interpretations through time. And |
|
|
64:36 | when, when it kind of gets to understand that there, uh even |
|
|
64:42 | the four data sets with good you are finding a kernel of what's |
|
|
64:47 | uh in terms of uh of what is going on. And here's what |
|
|
64:52 | field looks like in cross section, very complex. And uh this is |
|
|
64:59 | the boron field and this is more less that an clinal feature uh that |
|
|
65:05 | , that first attracted to them, to it, but they didn't see |
|
|
65:09 | in all of its uh complexities at time. But they were able to |
|
|
65:14 | two D seismic and some well data it out. And here is sort |
|
|
65:19 | the series And this was, this initially with just two D seismic and |
|
|
65:28 | bless you. And this, this kind of showing you again, they |
|
|
65:34 | this feature as we know it But then they added well data and |
|
|
65:40 | realized more was going on in this a really good point because you're, |
|
|
65:49 | gonna have an exercise, a correlation where you're gonna have to look for |
|
|
65:54 | planes. Uh Here, oops we just had size. We do |
|
|
66:04 | how many faults are off here. added well, data, notice how |
|
|
66:09 | faults they are. How did they those faults? They saw them cutting |
|
|
66:13 | wells or they were able to see , a pressure compartment that was different |
|
|
66:18 | 11 well to the next. And knew a fault, had to breath |
|
|
66:21 | . So they looked for it and they found it sometimes they don't find |
|
|
66:25 | , but they always know there's something compartments or, you know, there's |
|
|
66:30 | barrier to blow across this area several barriers to blow, not |
|
|
66:35 | Not just one Big 1. And then they added more wells and |
|
|
66:42 | changed the whole structural attitude of this . They finally started to figure out |
|
|
66:48 | uh this wasn't just a simple but there's a lot of structure above |
|
|
66:54 | and a different structure underneath it. here it gets even more complicated where |
|
|
67:00 | had uh More two D&XD size. . So what I think is important |
|
|
67:09 | realize is it just for the two seismic? They knew there was a |
|
|
67:14 | here with a little bit more they knew their price was there, |
|
|
67:19 | it was more complicated than they realized got in some ways simpler in other |
|
|
67:25 | , more complicated when they figured this when they got here, it got |
|
|
67:29 | more complicated and, and uh the that could be drained in each reservoir |
|
|
67:34 | getting smaller and smaller. And that them think, you know, we |
|
|
67:38 | to understand the distribution of the porosity little bit better too. So that's |
|
|
67:42 | they did the later study and they to come up with things on this |
|
|
67:46 | . Somebody recognized the structure with the two D seismic. And then as |
|
|
67:52 | uh as they progress through time from exploration to development, they got more |
|
|
67:58 | more details and were able to figure more about the flow characteristics of each |
|
|
68:02 | within each compart. And so you up getting more data. Now it's |
|
|
68:07 | key point for people that are learning to do this. Somebody who came |
|
|
68:12 | with this thing was not right, he's not right was right enough to |
|
|
68:18 | people to look closer. OK? that is critically important when you go |
|
|
68:23 | frontier to force people to put in energy and more time and more analysis |
|
|
68:30 | take that next step and the next . And of course, once you |
|
|
68:33 | producing and you see that flow of , you're gonna go, you |
|
|
68:37 | it's then it becomes very easy to on energy. Uh When all you |
|
|
68:42 | is this and no wealth, it's little bit more difficult to tell |
|
|
68:46 | You know, we think this is little bit more complicated. Can we |
|
|
68:48 | more? Uh and then you get and then you have something like |
|
|
68:52 | And here you can see the structure even um falling down in a different |
|
|
68:58 | than they thought it was. They better definition with the well data, |
|
|
69:02 | have a lot more well data and you've got all these wells cutting all |
|
|
69:07 | faults. So the data was um immensely increased. And also the 3D |
|
|
69:15 | and the resolution of 3D seismic was whole lot better. And uh I'm |
|
|
69:19 | if I had something from 2022 it be a little bit different, but |
|
|
69:22 | probably gonna be pretty close to this with some enhancements on the porosity distributions |
|
|
69:29 | maybe a more detailed uh reservoir characterization that if they needed to, they |
|
|
69:33 | be able to do water floods or other type of flood. OK. |
|
|
69:38 | We're running out of time, but I can get through as much of |
|
|
69:44 | . Um I'm sorry that I'm trying explain a lot of this with some |
|
|
69:49 | some of my experiential uh thoughts, uh some of the new other things |
|
|
69:56 | we have are gravity and Magnetics and thing called controlled S E M controlled |
|
|
70:03 | electron Magnetics. Uh And basically what trying to do is see things with |
|
|
70:08 | potential fields that we have and also a uh something similar to a potential |
|
|
70:14 | with CS E M to kind of if there's a response to hydrocarbons. |
|
|
70:21 | uh in the very beginning, uh of the most significant reasons why we |
|
|
70:25 | go to gravity. Can anybody think why we'd want to have a gravity |
|
|
70:30 | in a place we've never been Yes, of course. Yes. |
|
|
70:45 | so a lot of it has to with, of course, you |
|
|
70:48 | with, with this type of you don't know what it is. |
|
|
70:52 | hopefully you have somewhere, well, in the area where you know what |
|
|
70:57 | basement density should be. And you what the sedimentary rock density should |
|
|
71:02 | So that you can see that uh have a change in density uh through |
|
|
71:08 | section that will give away the fact there might be um an igneous rock |
|
|
71:13 | or far away. And the Magnetics also relates to um uh the type |
|
|
71:21 | minerals that you have in those especially the igneous rocks that can help |
|
|
71:26 | away the signal. And I'm just show you some really simple examples. |
|
|
71:30 | uh here, you can see the and basalt have these uh higher |
|
|
71:38 | Then you're gonna see in all these stuff. You know, the igneous |
|
|
71:42 | you get down here in the sedimentary , the density is a lot lower |
|
|
71:46 | that's how we can uh can use tool. And uh this is something |
|
|
71:51 | got from my twin brother. Uh showing you a model uh of what |
|
|
71:56 | might see. And uh here's uh and gravity in the same diagram here |
|
|
72:03 | sort of an uplifted thing. And this, this is a model would |
|
|
72:09 | an igneous feature, right? And but if we uh just uh assume |
|
|
72:18 | is all, all the from here is all sedimentary. For example, |
|
|
72:23 | I had, even if I had and I saw a feature that stuck |
|
|
72:27 | in the sedimentary rock. If, I only had two d, what |
|
|
72:33 | I know that it was sedimentary rock could it be a reef, you |
|
|
72:37 | , like could it be a reef an igneous intrusion or like, like |
|
|
72:41 | um like a dike of uh igneous ? And uh and so the gravity |
|
|
72:47 | us tell that and this tells us this isn't a reef mound uh that's |
|
|
72:52 | up in the air. Uh This something uh that's showing uh a gravity |
|
|
72:59 | uh over that feature, the gravity going to go up because the igneous |
|
|
73:04 | is closer to the surface. And and here we're gonna see the uh |
|
|
73:09 | minerals in there affecting the uh magnetic . And you can see a definition |
|
|
73:14 | , on the left side and the side and same kind of thing here |
|
|
73:19 | a hole in it. Uh If base basement is shallower, uh you're |
|
|
73:23 | see something like this. OK. of course, that was gravity and |
|
|
73:30 | together. I'll let you read this . But that's uh the underlying principles |
|
|
73:37 | uh Magnetics. The passive Magnetics uh , is this and uh here you |
|
|
73:44 | see uh again, this is like diagram that we saw before. There's |
|
|
73:50 | dike here. Um This is the River Basin which is where we found |
|
|
73:55 | luau structure in the Southeast China And uh um there were, there |
|
|
74:02 | places where we actually had dikes coming and there are places where we had |
|
|
74:07 | pinnacle reefs, large pinnacle reefs that were able to keep up with sea |
|
|
74:12 | rise uh through time. And that's we found some reservoirs and we needed |
|
|
74:17 | to sort that out. And this is just showing you some of the |
|
|
74:21 | of Magnetics uh in gravity to uh versus igneous rocks all the way |
|
|
74:29 | Here's a fault showing you the response here. We're showing you what a |
|
|
74:34 | intrusion might do or salt doom, is completely different uh from the |
|
|
74:40 | Here. Here, you have an high density thing and the salt, |
|
|
74:43 | is a low density thing. And she is E M uh they actually |
|
|
74:52 | a field and uh certain aspects of going on in the reservoir. |
|
|
74:59 | they create a field, an idealized . And when there's changes in the |
|
|
75:03 | composition, it changes that field and able to measure it and that's how |
|
|
75:07 | works. And there's only like three in the world that can do this |
|
|
75:10 | well. It's pretty amazing uh when see the data, uh and uh |
|
|
75:17 | of them have all moved back to UK. I can tell you |
|
|
75:20 | but uh I don't know if there's lot going on in the us right |
|
|
75:24 | . Do you do any of that of stuff in uh in Egypt, |
|
|
75:27 | E M? Uh It's really helpful you're working with salts versus other types |
|
|
75:33 | things when you're getting closer to basin at the edge of salt uh to |
|
|
75:37 | you pick out a salt uh feature well. So, uh we'll stop |
|
|
75:43 | and um uh but we're gonna um through some really basic uh things here |
|
|
75:51 | I, I think I'm gonna drop , uh, other tools. |
|
|
75:57 | man, wait a minute, we got through other tools, didn't |
|
|
76:02 | Yeah, we're, we're, we're on schedule. Go ahead. Excuse |
|
|
76:12 | ? No, you don't have an next Monday. It's spring break. |
|
|
76:17 | is gonna be the Monday when we back. Mhm. Because we lost |
|
|
76:27 | because of the bomb scare or whatever methane scare. Mhm. Now, |
|
|
76:56 | gotta stop the recording or will I trouble? Mhm. Does anybody know |
|
|
77:02 | when you look at Zoom, sometimes gives you, uh, maybe if |
|
|
77:06 | make it bigger, I don't But sometimes on this, on this |
|
|
77:10 | down here you'll see recorder and sometimes won't. But, you know, |
|
|
77:15 | have to go into here. No, I don't. No, |
