00:00 and then we'll pop. Yeah well a few times during this afternoon for

00:05 break. Yeah. So because of uh you know my involvement with those

00:11 um new ways of using petroleum systems depleted petroleum systems, I will also

00:19 about that topic um at the end this course because I think for your

00:25 that that may play an important role you're gonna work in the energy

00:29 you may know right show is building hydrogen factory etcetera. So it's going

00:35 be part of your future. So why I wanted to spend some time

00:38 it during the last weekend. so 11 thing I wanted to ask

00:47 all is if you have questions or is unclear, make sure you interrupt

00:53 . Okay. The goal of this that you walk away, it's being

00:56 confident in doing basic modeling and knowing going on, what you need to

01:02 . So interrupt me at any point time when you have questions. Yes

01:07 . And do you mind if I how to pronounce your name?

01:10 it's a good question you'll answer. I'm actually um I came to this

01:17 20 years ago, so now I'm US citizen etc. But you can

01:22 also my accent is still there and can't change the name so. Exactly

01:29 . Okay perfect, thank you Great. So I'm gonna share my

01:34 and then we're gonna go start get . So by the way you should

01:38 all the power points for today, will always send them before the,

01:45 the class starts to Utah and hopefully can upload them every time before the

01:50 starts. But um yeah, so then you can use them to take

01:58 etcetera. So I'm sitting here with power point and some kind of smart

02:03 , I'm just going to give it start. Can you see this?

02:07 , perfect. So if anything is , let me know. Okay,

02:13 , my contact information, so don't to text or call me. So

02:19 is my cell phone number and I'm really, you know, if

02:23 want to send me a text and have a question or a great phone

02:26 , you can absolutely do that. feel, feel free to do

02:30 Um and then uh new Mexico tech address, I'll check every day as

02:35 . Um so feel free to contact with questions or concerns. Yes

02:41 thank you. Right, I'm gonna this. Well I can tell a

02:44 bit about my past so um so I came to the U.

02:49 I started working at U C san at scripts as a postdoc. And

02:56 before that I was in the Netherlands my schooling. So you see

03:01 these two um they show my schools left one at university and the right

03:07 is a University of Amsterdam and then my career I've spent some time working

03:15 Pioneer and for oyo oyo corporation and , a japanese corporation, who by

03:22 time I worked there um we were basically um smaller sized fibrosis eyes is

03:31 be used in do fiscal exploration. right, so I'd like to spend

03:38 time talking to you about how the is build up and this is also

03:43 in understanding, you know, why talking about the topics we're talking about

03:47 . So we have four weekends, you know, and the fourth weekend

03:52 actually only a friday afternoon. Let's about the first weekend first let's talk

03:59 background reading material first. So you have noticed this in the syllabus,

04:05 there's some background reading material? A called basin analysis, third edition,

04:11 a book costs elements of petroleum Third edition and then a selection of

04:17 papers and book chapters. Now, this is such a condensed course,

04:23 do not expect you to read anything these weeks. So this is just

04:29 you for background materials later on in life, you will be doing basic

04:34 then um these these books are good to have, so that's why I

04:39 them here. And so during this , the material that you need to

04:43 , we'll just talk about in So the basin analysis book, do

04:47 have that book by any chance? , so what you can do is

04:57 google it. And so there are available online. So that is something

05:03 can, you can give a try weekends when I'm in Houston. I

05:08 also take the book so you can at them there then there's the elements

05:12 petroleum majority book. This is just example of a petroleum majority book that

05:18 the petroleum system in a very simple . So um Meghan. A so

05:25 think you are probably completely familiar with material in that book. Yes

05:32 Yeah. Hayden, how how familiar you with petroleum geology? Um Probably

05:40 as familiar as Magna. Um I I forgot to mention bios. Artillery

05:45 my first class in this program. this is my second. Okay.

05:50 . In africa to ask you. so we will be going over the

05:55 from the book that you need to for this course. So Madonna.

06:01 will be a repeat. Yeah I a digital copy of basic analysis

06:10 Oh you mean a copy that you want anymore? Well I just have

06:17 digital digital copy. Sorry I I extra. Would you be willing to

06:28 that? Maybe. Yeah. Yeah send I have I have a

06:35 T. Well I can I can it out on an FTp for

06:42 Super. I don't have elements of . I have a I have a

06:48 but never said Are you familiar with 1? Petroleum? No no so

07:00 don't I don't have that book. know it's a red book but I

07:09 have it. Okay, so maybe is just as good as having the

07:15 one, do you think or so the point is is that what

07:19 need to know for basin modeling about petroleum system and about this book I

07:25 talk about in class. So the are basically um they're helpful if you

07:31 understand what I'm saying and I can't it to you or you would like

07:35 the words describing it than the books . But I don't expect you to

07:40 this, you won't have time for in the coming months. So um

07:44 just want to put it here these are nice books to read in

07:48 background in the future. You want spend more time on this. And

07:54 the last So selection of journal papers book chapters. So I will actually

08:00 all those two Utah and so you get all those. Okay, and

08:06 , also here um it's basically background . So a lot of about this

08:13 that was developed in the last 30 or so comes from these papers and

08:21 chapters. I'm sending you. So gonna talk about whatever is important for

08:26 modeling for this class. But some this material is the original material that

08:30 whole basin modeling is based upon. I thought it would be cool for

08:34 to have it. So you know the original names, right? People

08:38 the 90s, for example, that we developed a lot of this

08:43 Um So yeah, so for every every weekend we'll send you that material

08:50 well. More questions about this so . No, ma'am. All

08:58 okay. So this is an empty and I did it because it reminds

09:02 of something um some first going to a little bit about basis before we

09:07 to the rest of the syllabus just um um how do you say

09:14 Um It puts it in a lot perspective. The first topic that I'm

09:21 to talk to you about is what the different types of sedimentary basins that

09:27 can think of name? One type sedimentary basin, I can tell

09:41 I'll wait for them. I'll go you. Mhm. I'm not

09:53 Can you name? The simplest is a simple crustal sag. Which is

09:59 , very simple, but nobody really how they form. Um Then there's

10:05 gonna call that one basin. Yeah. So what, what you

10:15 see in this course and an important part of me talking to you is

10:22 you different um words that people in industry used for the same thing.

10:29 this brings up a really good So in my background people would say

10:34 indios background, people may say sack you know, other part of the

10:39 , people may talk about platform So that's the type of sedimentary

10:42 It's a really important type, we have really great oil producing crypto

10:50 basis in North America. And and was right. We don't know how

10:55 form. And that is also, is important for basin modeling because it

11:01 that if we don't really know how formed, it is difficult to,

11:06 know, together a model that is constrained. So that's a really good

11:13 , longer examples rift basins. these are continental rift zones and as

11:24 know, when rifts go all the to continental breakup, we form a

11:28 at margin, passing a virgin Yeah. Or passive merchants.

11:39 no, it's it's correct. you will see both words,

11:44 And you will hear people talking about merchants or president merchants and they're the

11:51 . Right. Another example for art , yep, I'm just gonna,

12:04 sorry, or retro arc four lands , but they're called just four lands

12:12 the other side of the ark. ocean basins, there's also that some

12:24 are, that are characterized by their like pull apart, like little sort

12:30 trans intentional basins that form in you know, generally tectonic strike slip

12:37 , kind of thing. Right. this completes the list. I'm gonna

12:44 this this one here because it's not . But um because it would be

12:53 with some of the other basins. these are the different types of sedimentary

12:59 . Now, if you want to , for example, the sedimentary basin

13:03 you're studying is the Williston basin in America, the Williston basin falls falls

13:10 this category. It's Accra tonic platform sack basin. You may have heard

13:17 the Williston basin and the buck Um So this is a basin that

13:23 been very prolific for um for the industry, if you want to understand

13:30 in switch a sedimentary basin, whether the part of the basin that you're

13:36 in or the formation that you're interested , the depths, maybe the

13:40 whether there's oil and that your gas you could extract. What we do

13:48 , because it's cheap is we do in modeling. So that is something

13:55 gonna do in this course next based on modeling and for basin for

14:01 to do basic modeling, we need have an understanding of how a basic

14:07 , what type of basin you're etcetera. Now, this creek tonic

14:12 platform or sac base since the name says it, they form on,

14:18 continents and they tend to form are they form only in the stronghold,

14:24 parts of the continent. So, North America, that would be the

14:29 part, the region of central north michigan, for example, North

14:35 that's the strong part of the north continent that typically refines the script tonic

14:43 , rifts and rift at margins. we're gonna walk through these basins in

14:47 lot of detail during this course, and rift id margins, they're a

14:52 different story. So they form when starts to extend a stretch and maybe

14:59 starts to break up. So you already imagine from these two examples that

15:06 the temperature associated with the formation of space and the size of the

15:11 how fast they form differs dramatically between atomic platform or sack basin and a

15:18 or rift. That margin or passive is very different. So, continental

15:23 , for example, an area and riffed for maybe 30 million years,

15:30 like that. MY is millions of . Oops, 30 million years or

15:35 . And then a rift so may die or they may be continental

15:41 Misc atomic basins, platform or sag , They can easily subside for 300

15:49 years. Oops, sorry. So can immediately see that's a very different

15:57 scale between atomic space and chronic basis a rift basin. Now, let's

16:04 about talk about some other bases. start with four foreland basin, foreland

16:10 are sometimes called Flexeril basins and the bases. The name already says

16:19 They they form as a result of of the little sphere or deflection of

16:25 little sphere flexing or deflection is you know, how do you say

16:32 um bending down. So you can see this is very different from

16:42 which is extending and it's very different its something that forms on these oldest

16:48 of the continents. So, these basins or foreland basins, they have

16:54 whole different history. They may form you know, several tens of millions

17:00 years. They will undergo faces of and uplift very different. The shape

17:06 different from these other basins. let's talk about for our basins,

17:13 our basins are basins that form where have a subduction zone on earth.

17:19 will explain to you again in much detailed data. So, here I

17:24 sketching down going oceanic crust or oceanic . So this is a subduction zone

17:33 and then here would be the continental . So, you may remember such

17:39 sketch right from your undergrad program subduction down going oceanic atmosphere. Now,

17:46 may also remember that when you have a subduction zone of the down going

17:51 atmosphere at one point in time, fluids that are in the oceanic crystal

17:57 and will move upwards and they will volcanoes here, we call that a

18:02 arc. Now you take a look the name of this type of base

18:07 the forearm, this is the type sedimentary basin that forms between these volcanoes

18:13 with subduction zones. And this place which is called the trench. You

18:17 remember that word. So, in area here for arcs form. So

18:25 , a very different story right from other basins we've been talking about.

18:29 , you can already imagine these four of different shapes, different places that

18:34 form, etcetera. Now, one type of sedimentary basin that will talk

18:39 quite a lot, or what we pull apart basin for strike slip

18:44 And they already said it. These are basically rift basins, but they

18:52 in a different way. So rift made mainly extending like this, right

18:56 the crust and then pull apart basins strikes the basins, there's a strong

19:02 like this, so that it's very . Um So, you end up

19:07 a basin that is very different shape geometry. That was spaces for

19:14 So, what we're gonna do in course, we're going to go through

19:18 these sedimentary basins in detail. we're going to talk in detail about

19:22 the form. Okay, look like they holds? Where do the sediments

19:27 from, how the petroleum systems And so, when we look at

19:31 syllabus next, you will see that topics come back. So, all

19:35 sedimentary basins comeback now within it, example, in order to understand how

19:42 basins form, we need to have really good understanding of how um what's

19:49 on in the mental of the So, the deep Earth.

19:53 we're also going to talk about the Earth here during this course.

19:57 for other basins, for example, land basins, in order to understand

20:03 basins, flexible basin is the same a different word for the same

20:07 we really need to understand how Earth's sphere behave. So, if you

20:12 a load on it isn't gonna say it's gonna look like. So,

20:16 also gonna talk about strength of the sphere and reality of the little

20:21 Now, other basins maybe rifts. is very important. So, one

20:27 in the syllabus is heat, for , heat in sedimentary basins.

20:32 this is just some background information that wanted to give you about the

20:36 So, in the syllabus, you see this course, we walk through

20:39 sedimentary basins and we hit on some these topics that you need to know

20:44 lot about in order to understand how basins form. Now we do that

20:50 based modeling. So, for based again, you need to know what

20:54 of patient you're looking at. How you recognize what type of patient you're

20:59 at and what do you need to aware of? Do you need to

21:02 aware of this basin being ought, hot, being caught, etcetera.

21:09 , that's why we're walking through all material. Any questions so far?

21:18 , I'm gonna go to the next here. So this is the first

21:22 . And so now we're gonna go the syllabus. Next then we're gonna

21:27 about what the space and modeling. gonna give a review of the petroleum

21:32 and Meghan offer you again it's you this material. But what I'm going

21:37 focus on are the is the the things you need to know for

21:41 basin modeling that we're going to do this course. So for you it's

21:44 a repeat and Hayden, you will pick up just enough so you can

21:49 the modeling and then later on maybe the coming months the details will fill

21:54 . Um But this should help you up the models and understand the

21:59 And then we end today with an of the deep earth. And again

22:07 need to know that for some some the sedimentary basins that we're going to

22:11 about. Now the last line check , remote access. It's just here

22:17 remind us. So I think you have an account on computer systems in

22:22 lab. Right. Yes ma'am. . And then um I think I

22:28 checked it. So is the software we're gonna be? I don't know

22:33 I do or not, do I one there? If you don't you

22:37 you can borrow my account next week or if you don't. Okay,

22:43 , fine. And so the other and hated maybe you can do that

22:48 some point in time during this See if you can click on remote

22:54 package and just open it and close because if it opens for you it

22:58 open for everybody. And so we need to really want to make sure

23:02 next week, because we're going to the modeling next week that we're ready

23:05 go on friday and there's not like panic situation or so. Yes,

23:10 . Right, okay. So then , the first thing that I want

23:16 talk to you about is what time you want to start in the

23:19 So I put here at nine a.m. if you want to start at eight

23:23 That's fine with me as well. have no preference. It's up to

23:26 both of you. 8:30 for That's what we did for the last

23:33 and I will pay. That is with that. Yeah, that's

23:36 You said 8:30. That works for . Okay, let me change that

23:44 . And um so then we need ask you tie to start um Um

23:53 start to assume meeting tomorrow morning at . All right, because I will

23:59 the link today. Okay, So we have it for tomorrow morning?

24:06 . Great. So how does this for you? 8 30 to noon

24:11 to one lunch and then 1 to afternoon. Okay. I see I

24:18 somebody less happy. Does it Would you like other times, but

24:23 works for you guys? That works me? Um That's you know,

24:29 similar to what we've been doing, . Right, okay. So tomorrow

24:38 we're gonna talk about the first sedimentary , creek atomic basins. And then

24:45 an introduction to the type of basis talk about in the afternoon, actual

24:48 of foreland basins. We need to through strength of the little sphere,

24:53 of the literature, etcetera. So going to do that tomorrow morning as

24:57 . And then tomorrow afternoon we're gonna about sexual basins. And then I

25:01 a flexible based on assignments. And I'm going to call that a ford

25:06 basin exercise. We're gonna do it class. And so this has nothing

25:11 do with grading or so, but basically summarizes the material that we've learned

25:16 till that point. And then at end of tomorrow afternoon we'll discuss

25:21 And because then by the end of afternoon, we've been talking so much

25:25 four land based and intellectual basins, will no longer be part of the

25:30 . M. So it's one type base and it's gonna be completely done

25:33 tomorrow, basically. Yeah. then the next weekend we're going to

25:40 on bass and modeling. So on , we're gonna do with all of

25:45 . We're gonna do an exercise that you how to use the program.

25:51 then we're going to discuss that. then um after discussion if there's time

25:56 , I'm going to talk a little more about some principles of basic

26:00 So there will be next week they'll be in the map next week

26:05 in the morning. So we're gonna again at 8 30. I'll correct

26:08 . We're gonna take a look at other principles of base and modeling and

26:13 next week friday or saturday afternoon, we're going to do the modeling

26:18 a big modeling exercise. This big exercise will be able to finish next

26:23 saturday afternoon. And this modeling exercise will need to write a paper on

26:31 paper and we do that for several because it will help you write it

26:39 help you become a better writer. writing is really important in our

26:46 Once you are at the level of masters degree, people expect you to

26:51 able how to write a report for . So we're gonna practice that with

26:56 . I'm gonna call it a petrol paper, we're gonna practice them.

26:59 you will not be graded in any on, you know, if you're

27:04 talented writer or not but what we're do is we're gonna walk through the

27:10 setup of a an official professional report a paper. It's the same and

27:16 you will learn what fits where, you need to include in where

27:19 So that's what you will be um its own just basically effort. Okay

27:27 so this paper we're gonna write about modeling exercise that will do next saturday

27:33 its model meddling exercise, it focuses the Anadarko basin. So you will

27:38 a real data set. And we're we're gonna do based modeling. So

27:43 going to predict whether a petroleum system and if so what uncertainties are in

27:51 it, what what is it that don't really know about it? So

27:54 what the paper is going to be . So next week we're also gonna

27:59 together about modeling results. So this does not have a mystery in

28:03 The idea is that you walk away it's knowing everything. Mhm. So

28:10 special newspaper, um it's due sunday 16 1 p.m. And the reason I've

28:17 this day and time is because I want you to spend any more time

28:22 it than that. Okay. And it's do is you would just

28:28 when you're done, you sent me paper and um you email me the

28:33 and that's basically writing. And then search weekend, we're gonna go through

28:40 whole range of other bases that we talked about by that time. So

28:45 bases back arc basins pull apart The second weekend is going to focus

28:49 lot about on rift basins. And I also would like to talk the

28:56 weekends on new things that are going in the industry. Machine learning,

29:02 may have heard that term geothermal energy going to use it as an example

29:07 transition to it doesn't matter what political , you're a fan of, you

29:12 , energy transition. So transition towards a hydrogen economy. It's pushing

29:19 Right. So, I really want talk to you about it. So

29:23 you know, you know what it when people are talking about it and

29:26 opens up a lot of possibilities for employment in the energy industry as

29:33 And then the third weekend in the , we're just gonna wrap up what's

29:36 there. So it's like our extra . And also if you have a

29:42 draft and ready off your patrons then we can talk about that as

29:48 . And then there's the last friday you know, and I have reserved

29:53 for a review of exam. If any problem, maybe that's modeling

29:58 We encountered you have time to finish then and then there's the X.

30:03 . Wednesday october 19th. Any questions this Ma'am? Sounds Good. I

30:12 one request since we are doing the tomorrow online. It's fine for me

30:17 30. But if you're doing offline the next week, can we make

30:21 nine because I have to take a and sorry. Yeah, doesn't work

30:26 you, Hayden. Yeah, that . Okay. So then let's let's

30:30 it next saturday at nine a.m. Alright. No problem at all.

30:36 right. And then, so after I may talk to don a little

30:40 about maybe it may be a good for me to for us to meet

30:47 person. Also that last friday. let's see how things go.

30:53 Okay. All right rating. So is my first time work ideal.

31:01 that does that mean next week and following week are all on campus

31:07 No, the planning so far that heard from them is next weekend is

31:12 campus but the following weekend. Yeah the modeling weekends is on campus and

31:19 third weekend is not planned on So if you want to change that

31:23 I need to talk to don. . Oh I see I see.

31:27 we don't know right now about the . Okay. I see sorry But

31:33 but the 4th 1, the final that's on campus. I think it

31:37 be a good idea but I want hear what you using. Um I

31:46 so because what you see next weekend um it's just so much easier you

31:52 to point to a screen etcetera when we're in person. So let's

31:57 it open. But I'll let you . Alright so this is my first

32:03 working with these micro credits. And with three parts of this course,

32:08 first one is for land based on and basically the material that we finish

32:13 of tomorrow. The second one is modeling part. So the patron of

32:20 paper on Anadarko basin. And the part is basically the integration of everything

32:26 Madura during the exam. So if take this as a three credit course

32:31 I think you do, we have foreign land based on exercise. Um

32:37 is 10 points for tomorrow patrons paper accounts for 40 points and the exam

32:42 comes for 50 points questions about Yes ma'am. Right. I think

32:52 all for this. And so what would like to do is take a

33:00 hour or so a break. So means we have another 15 minutes or

33:05 . So I'm gonna I'm gonna make start now with the next topic and

33:12 Um then we're trying to keep to time so try to keep it

33:18 You know 15 and 15 minutes or break. So what I need to

33:24 , I need to start a new points that I will use to take

33:28 on. So what's important is that um did you take notes as

33:39 So keep writing with me? Right for home let's just make a

33:56 of slides so I can have a of space space to uh right

34:02 So do you see this this white ? Yes ma'am. Okay great.

34:13 the name of this course is based model and based modeling is also sometimes

34:19 petroleum system model thrown in just a . And so what do you actually

34:36 quite a lot to. Right I'm just gonna start somewhere and see

34:39 it goes right, um we do following, so suppose we're looking at

34:47 vertical cross section through a sedimentary So um here's the surface of the

34:55 and these here are sedimentary acres. we go. So here's the surface

35:02 the earth, this is depth. this basin actually looks a lot like

35:12 platonic basin, but that's just a . I tried to sketch something

35:19 So looking near the sedimentary basin. in the sedimentary basin, these sediments

35:25 at the base are the oldest become , a ports and underneath here maybe

35:31 have crystallized in basements. Now today may be a petroleum system in this

35:41 . So maybe this formation here is formation with a great reservoir rock that

35:50 interested in. And we're interested to whether maybe um um maybe a petroleum

35:58 develops here and migration has taken place maybe oil and natural gas have accumulated

36:08 . So how do we study that basin modeling or petroleum system only.

36:13 we go through a series of The first step is the following.

36:18 just going to go to the next , see if it works. So

36:23 , what you need to know is this sedimentary basin forms and we just

36:29 this here is the oldest layer of . These are all younger To what

36:34 do with based modeling, we start sometime in the past basically at the

36:40 when this oldest sedimentary layer was So when the sedimentary basin started to

36:45 , so maybe 200 million years or so. this sedimentary basin started

36:54 form, here's the service of the . And at that point in time

36:57 was a small depression that was filled with sediments and we had this first

37:03 of sediments. Then in the course time there was maybe subsidence for whatever

37:12 , can be some tectonic reason or because of mental processes, but it

37:17 subsidence and during that subsidence, that's all the slayer of settlements. We

37:27 accommodation space, just gonna draw it with waves from water. So here

37:35 now have accommodation space and this accommodation is going to be filled in with

37:47 either completely or partially. So we're to form a new sedimentary layer on

37:55 and this continues, you can already eventually we end up with a sedimentary

38:06 that looks something like this. with based modeling, we remodel,

38:13 simulate all these steps, We start the cost or the slayer of

38:20 Then in the model, we and add we create accommodation space, we

38:26 new layers, settlements and so on so on. So this here this

38:33 is actually time starting in the going towards the present present day.

38:45 , we build basically the sedimentary basin this software, starting in the

38:50 going towards the present day. what's really important is to know the

38:56 of sediments that that was the positive what were the sediments came from?

39:03 ? And also for example what the content of the sediments was. So

39:11 contents sediment source, the environment of profession etcetera. And um this is

39:25 for us to know because we need understand whether this was all uh you

39:31 , a favorable situation in order for petroleum system to form. Now,

39:37 do we know this? We notice today we may have drills an exploration

39:45 here, just gonna sketch it like , an exploration well in this,

39:49 this basin. And while we did we took course. So we have

39:54 understanding of the type of sediments maybe even have an age of the

39:59 we can look at the organic content we look at the sediments and we

40:03 the basin maybe we can say, these are sediments derived from terrestrial environment

40:09 marine environment, this was the environment position etcetera, etcetera. So usually

40:14 have this information from a well from data and course now this is information

40:23 we need to include in our basic or petroleum system model. So we're

40:29 to include when we build those all kinds of information about organic content

40:33 the settlements, the type of sediments these sediments compact easily or not things

40:42 that. And um so you may already an idea when we start in

40:47 past and we go towards the present , when we march through the formation

40:52 the sedimentary basin. In in these , we look at every point in

40:57 . Okay, you know this layer sediment was deposited. Maybe this was

41:01 layer of shield. Okay, it a rather organic rich shield. And

41:06 next time step, maybe 20 million later, it was buried this later

41:11 these steps and it started to heat , sorry, started to heat up

41:17 so much yet that it reached the window or gas window, but it

41:22 to heat up at a later point time. This layer of shell is

41:26 these steps and now we know it been heated up enough in order for

41:34 sediments and and getting material and it's to reach for example the oil

41:43 And we know that maturation has we know that from the organic content

41:48 mainly are forming oil. Um we all kinds of details about material and

41:55 we can say, okay, um think that there's this might be a

42:01 in time when maturation is going And at this point in time the

42:08 that has started to form may start migrate out of this source rock.

42:16 so in the next step, next step, just gonna sketch it on

42:20 on the next slides. So we here right, we have the sedimentary

42:25 in a basin. We just decided this deepest layer was now in the

42:30 window, which means that organic material maturing to form oil. This oil

42:37 migrating out and um now we're interested see if it's got stuck somewhere,

42:46 it collects in the rest of for rock? Maybe this here is a

42:50 sandstone. And so we're interested to where it migrated to that sandstone and

42:55 so, if it could have stayed there. So this petroleum system are

43:01 on modeling model that we put not only has information about the mythology

43:07 the total organic content of that, material the show, but it also

43:13 information about the rest of our whether the rest of our rock would

43:20 enough ferocity, for example, in for it to become, you

43:25 a prolific reservoir rock and we also to know what a migration path pathways

43:33 . So, this oil here, just sketching it going up just to

43:37 simple, but you can imagine that geometry of the sedimentary basin is much

43:42 complex and maybe it has more shape this or so, I don't

43:47 So we may wonder could any of oil have migrated um two year and

43:54 a trip. So this migration, also something we calculate with our petroleum

44:04 model. Now maybe migration was successful we found a trap and um really

44:15 situated with the rest of our work the last step that the petroleum system

44:20 now calculates for us is what this looks like. So for example,

44:26 we have um um heavy oil or oil? Do we have um natural

44:43 ? If so, how much? that is also part of the petroleum

44:49 of them questions so far. ma'am. So All right, let

44:58 see if I, then I will into a little bit more detail.

45:03 keep an eye on more time. don't we take a brief break now

45:12 go back in 10 minutes or And then I'm gonna go in more

45:18 into the water. Space modeling. . Sounds great. Right, So

45:25 is still recording, I should we'll record the break, we'll see

45:32 in 10 minutes or so. Thank preferred. Thanks so much dru

45:44 I'm here. Super. Alright. I'm gonna use power Point to explain

45:51 little bit more about face modeling. we're gonna use the slumber shade software

45:59 called. But there are many more modeling software packages out there for

46:05 basin modes and they all kind of the same. So, um you

46:14 , we're using petrol because Bloomberg has been generously giving University of use and

46:21 licenses but again, once you based on modeling software package, then

46:27 think you can be comfortable using other as well. So this is the

46:31 that we are going to use here weekend. So what is happening in

46:37 models, actually what we just talked ? So in petrol mode, which

46:43 the base model of the package. use a base in this model starting

46:47 the deposition of the oldest sedimentary layer then we walk through time towards the

46:53 day. So to enter the entire of sedimentary layers has been the positives

46:59 the present day is reached. So is clear, right? No questions

47:03 this. So we go from the towards the present day, right?

47:09 then um so what the software does us and this is this would be

47:15 enormous amount of work to do this hand. So that's why we we

47:19 these um american computer models for So when we go from the past

47:26 the present day, we basically march time. So we marched through time

47:30 one ever how old the base and 20 million years or 60 million years

47:34 the present day. So the this computer model also marches through time

47:41 it does that from the past to present day. And it does that

47:46 these short time steps. So maybe basin is 60 million years old.

47:55 the computer model marches them through time 60 million years till today. And

48:00 does that in time steps of say one million years. So every million

48:07 it is going to do a lot calculations. So these based modeling software

48:13 what they all do. Every time they calculate the position with the position

48:20 mean um um new settlements that may been deposited or if there was

48:28 they would also calculate that you know has been removed. So basically you

48:34 how the basin fills up. They calculate compaction of the sediments. So

48:41 of the sediments usually follows one of um you know exponential curves which is

48:50 all seen many times. So these of relationships between ferocity and let's see

49:02 they're all in um included in the packages And how are they included?

49:08 you tell your software package, oh sedimentary layer that was deposited is consists

49:14 maybe sense of course sent or so it selects based on what you tell

49:21 to do. It selects a porosity curve that is characteristic of that

49:29 So that is how it is included um every time step it calculates heat

49:37 in the basin. So heat is most important parameter for you. No

49:42 where the maturation has been taking place if the source work is over

49:47 So it calculates the heat flow going the basin and then it calculates everywhere

49:53 the sedimentary basin the temperature. So call it heat flow but you get

49:57 picture heat and temperature. It also its not on this list um pressure

50:08 so we'll talk more about that next . So the pressure that calculates can

50:14 over pressure but also just pressure, little static pressure as a result of

50:20 column above it. And this pressure very important right? If you have

50:29 pressure gradients between the source rock and you know, works above and below

50:33 source work, sexual pressure gradients, or drives migration primary migration so of

50:40 and gas. So we need to the pressure and every layer. So

50:43 calculates that for us then it calculates petroleum generation may have taken place and

50:51 so um what the composition is and much it calculates explosion of that petroleum

51:02 generation would occur in a source work that petroleum may migrate from the source

51:08 towards the rest of the rock. that is called explosion. And calculates

51:12 for us as well. It calculates lot of things related to migration.

51:19 is it you know, what is physical city of the petroleum? How

51:23 is it to migrate, stuff like is calculates so things related to migration

51:29 pathways where does it migrate to and eventually accumulation. So accumulation in a

51:39 rock, maybe the rest of our is kept by a cap rock et

51:43 . So from this you already see these petrol models and basic modeling software

51:50 , they walk through the entire petroleum from the start of X formation to

51:56 present day. No, um but is important for us to know when

52:05 do the basic modeling, we need have like a a basic understanding of

52:11 happens. We need to know of of normal porosity, depth relations

52:16 we need to know heat flow and important it is. So these

52:20 we need to have a basic understanding what's going on in real life and

52:25 going on in the software package. So we'll talk about that this um

52:31 class as well. Right, so do we start? Let me go

52:39 . So what I mentioned here on is you basically in the social package

52:46 up your sedimentary basin from the past the present. And there's a people

52:52 developed a method to do it and method is called back stripping. It's

52:57 bit weird work, but it basically stripping of sedimentary layers from a sedimentary

53:03 until you're in the past and then fell back up, fill it back

53:07 again. So we're going to learn that is. So that is a

53:10 to fill up the sedimentary basin. all these social packages use this

53:16 So we're gonna see how that So we use that and then we

53:20 calculate the composition, how this elementary fills up overtime at any times

53:26 And again we start with all this . So take a look at this

53:31 here. This is a vertical cross through a sedimentary basin. The vertical

53:37 is depth in kilometers and the result access represents several tens of kilometers.

53:44 the grainy material that you see this is crystalline basement. So that

53:51 crystal material and all the colored layers both that are the sedimentary layers that

53:57 in the sedimentary basin. These white here, I hope you can see

54:04 . They are false. So just at this vertical cross section of the

54:11 basin and thinking about the types of basis we talked about at the beginning

54:17 the first hour. Can anybody guess type of sedimentary basin we're looking at

54:28 . Was it a rift basin? is a rift basin. This is

54:34 um The North sea basin transacted through North Sea basin to the North Sea

54:40 is one of the first basins that drilled for oil and gas and pretty

54:48 understood. Um So this is part the North sea basin viking grab in

54:57 of the viking Robin. Yeah. Yeah, it sells off there.

55:09 Yeah, so let's take a look this um course section. So,

55:16 I just need to move this um colors again show different sedimentary layers here

55:26 the deepest part of the basin is here. And you say the text

55:32 no more hydrocarbon generation then here above deepest sport we are in a zone

55:40 the sedimentary basin, the depth zone we have a generation of gas and

55:46 that we have a generation of oil oil or gas. Now the zone

55:52 the sedimentary basin, the depth zone we find form oil call that oil

55:58 the depth stone very formed gas we that the gas window and below the

56:04 will know. We say there's no hydrocarbon generation. How does this relate

56:10 temperature? How do the oil and window and the no more hydrocarbon generation

56:16 . How do they relate to Um With increasing depth you're getting increasing

56:27 . Yeah. Yeah correct. That's perfect meghan. Can you explain the

56:36 of the oil window in the gas in the normal hydrocarbon generation.

56:44 Gas generation windows when both you'll find oil and the gas in it.

56:49 the gas generation is is suitable for the production of the gas and the

56:55 more hydrocarbons is where you can't find exactly. So say we started out

57:04 long time ago sedimentary layer was deposited this basement over the course of time

57:10 sedimentary basin, the sedimentary layers or was buried deeper and deeper as your

57:16 layer is very deeper and deeper temperatures because it's warmer and the sedimentary layers

57:23 up so sedimentary layer in the course its lifetime it may have entered the

57:30 window or if the sedimentary layer was earlier and is now deeper. Maybe

57:37 sedimentary layer has reached the gas If the sedimentary layer was heated up

57:44 much, we've basically burned up all . We end up with graph fights

57:50 we have no more hydrocarbon generation. it's really important for us to know

57:57 our sedimentary layer is somewhere in the window or the gas window in the

58:03 window or over mature and that is we're after, right? Which is

58:08 is based on modeling. Okay, say that these brown rock layers,

58:18 hope you can see them are our books. So maybe these are Shiels

58:23 a high um total organic carbon, know, total organic content. So

58:31 can see in this sedimentary basin that of this source work is immature.

58:37 here, it's immature and immature means have not been become high enough for

58:46 gas generation to start in other You see that this source walk is

58:51 the oil window, that's here, example. And everywhere here you see

58:57 it's in the oil window. So is perfect. That's where we want

59:00 to be in some places in the basin. You see that the source

59:04 is in the gas window, It's here. So uh their gas may

59:12 formed natural gas main forms. So about assume that the yellow rocks here

59:20 very good reservoir rocks, maybe the sand stones. Now you can see

59:25 distributed throughout the basin. Um they're towards the left, the western

59:32 you can see that are like inter with the source rock in some

59:37 there at larger depths, for here, but there's also a source

59:41 here at shallower depths. Sorry, rest of our rock at shallower

59:47 Now we also see that in this basin, there's a few places where

59:51 can clearly recognize traps and seals. , well, there's an example of

59:57 good seal rock cat Shane show would a good example. Yeah,

60:10 So maybe here there are good cereals good gap rocks. So we just

60:15 about, you know, we guess source work maybe shield. But you

60:19 imagine that such a show is also good cap rock. So we not

60:25 need a good cat broke, we need a trap, right? Something

60:28 a geometric three dimensional structure that can petroleum in a reservoir. And you

60:34 see that around here, around here around here. So, you

60:39 um for example, here, it's like an anti client. And you

60:44 imagine there a reservoir rock that is by a seal that that may actually

60:50 a very nice trap. Okay, this particular case, people also have

60:57 idea what migration may have looked So migration from the oil or gas

61:01 forms in the source work towards shallower . So maybe towards the reservoir rock

61:07 that's indicated here with the blue So there may have been migration migration

61:11 in upward direction, migration here in upward direction and migration here in an

61:17 direction. So if you combine all components components of petroleum system, you

61:26 end up with places where there's gas oil um reservoirs. So here on

61:35 side here, you see, I you can see this little red

61:39 This is a, you know, place where gas has accumulated and you

61:45 see that that gas migrated there. indicated here by the blue arrow.

61:50 forms here in the gas window and moved upward, migrated upwards and then

61:55 its place here in this area You see in the green, I

62:00 you can see that that oil has here. So this oil that is

62:07 here, formed in the oil window somewhere here or somewhere along the line

62:12 and migrated in this direction and was here in this reservoir rock below the

62:20 . And then here towards the rights also see there's actually two levels where

62:25 may have accumulated in the green. you can see that this oil forms

62:30 in the oil window and moved all way up, migrated up directly.

62:34 actually feel this path to a shallower . So, these are our calculations

62:42 a basic modeling software program would do you, it would know, you

62:47 the with ology of the sediments, would know how much organic material in

62:53 is in there. It would know warm this layer has been. If

62:59 was in the oil window in a window or maybe over mature, then

63:02 knows when traps were formed, if occurred, if someone in your direction

63:08 then where accumulation occurred. And then it can also, the software program

63:14 also tell you, okay, this here, for example, we expect

63:20 light oils, maybe this one we expect maybe heavy oils,

63:26 And then finally, it can tell , oh, maybe here there was

63:31 migration all the way towards earth's surface we actually have lost that. So

63:38 these components of uh you know, petroleum system are in this modeling software

63:46 so far. Alright, let's move . Okay, so here's Step

63:55 Step one will be the deposition of oldest sedimentary layer and it's down here

64:00 the top, actually, that's the sedimentary layer in this particular um risk

64:05 in step two, we are starting deposit the new, the next sedimentary

64:11 , etcetera, etcetera. And then we fill up this entire basin with

64:21 . Yeah. Um So you so it doesn't, it back strips

64:28 cemetery layers, but it doesn't does consider like it doesn't move the basement

64:35 with it when it doesn't or it just not in my sketch.

64:40 sorry. Sure. Yeah. So basement, That's actually really good

64:47 This would be everywhere here, right everywhere. That's a really good

64:52 So yes, it doesn't it does correctly. Yeah. So it shows

64:59 the tectonic street um correlated with the . Yeah. And so during this

65:09 we are only going to do very one dimensional models just you know,

65:13 will. But if you would have time and you would do a two

65:18 model or a three dimensional model, could also bring in the model.

65:22 example, information about say this fault when the fault was active. If

65:28 fault is leaking or not, information that can go into the model as

65:32 . We just don't have time for during the short course. Yes

65:38 So you understand these steps right? basin feels like right. And then

65:45 all these time steps enrich the base fills up. We're calculating a lot

65:50 information. We're calculating compaction of the . Of course pressure of the layers

65:55 um overpressure. So this pressure in supplementary layers um is from the overburden

66:04 , which makes perfect sense. But for example, gas generation segmentation that

66:09 take place and it's directly related to . So this this is an important

66:15 of the you know, petroleum system making. So um it's really well

66:21 in these software packages. And here just I'm showing one of these

66:27 depth grooves. So you've seen. sure many of them ferocity is shown

66:31 on the horizontal axis and depth is here on the vertical axis. And

66:35 you tell your basic modeling software the mythology of this material is a

66:42 or for example, um um silt , then it has built in this

66:50 depth relations, maybe this one here the Soul Stone and it follows that

66:55 extra sedimentary layer is a positive, and deeper in the model, its

67:00 decreases. So these relationships are built in the modeling software. Right?

67:08 what's really important during all these steps this subsidence and filling it sediments,

67:13 have to know the temperature and what see during this course is the temperature

67:18 the major factor in maturation. So temperature is also um it's the most

67:26 thing to to know about sedimentary So, this temperature in the sedimentary

67:32 results from a lot of factors. results from what we call the base

67:37 heat flow. The basin. Heat is the heat that flows into the

67:42 basin from below. So, just back a few slides, this is

67:48 sedimentary basin. Out of these, crystalline basement here comes a heat flow

67:59 as heat flows from deeper inside the into the sedimentary basin, so it

68:04 often called basal him flo. later we're gonna talk about where that

68:13 comes from, but it is And that's the heat, the main

68:17 of heating up of earth elements. we need to know how much of

68:22 heat comes into the sedimentary basin. you can imagine if more heat is

68:27 into the sedimentary basin, where if heat flow is higher, then you

68:32 your organic material earlier and at shallower than when the heat flow into the

68:39 is lower and temperatures are lower. it's extremely important to know this heat

68:44 because it's gonna determine where and when one point in time and what depths

68:50 organic material is going to mature. , so we this is something that

68:56 tell the software program, we say example the heat flow is what 60

69:03 watts first square meter, we give a number, we give it a

69:08 . And again that value is very to to know, but it's really

69:12 for the models, but also a of heat in, you know,

69:17 that happens in uh on earth is generation by radioactive decay. So as

69:25 know, um some minerals minerals, are made up of different elements.

69:33 some of them they they decay and produce heat while doing that. Some

69:41 , they have much higher what we radioactive decay or heat generation and

69:48 And so knowing um you knowing the type for example, if you're talking

69:54 an igneous rock and how old that rock is, tells you something about

69:59 much heat that's rock may produce. you can for example, imagine that's

70:06 an igneous rock that is 400 million old, produces less heat, less

70:16 decay heat than an igneous rock that 20 million years old. So this

70:23 also something we need to, you , know, right, you

70:26 it from geology etcetera now and The last component, which is really

70:32 . We're going to talk about that this course are what we call heat

70:37 and heat affection. So does anybody the difference between heat conduction and heat

70:44 ? What is it? Heat conduction the material allows the heat to pass

70:50 it And heat affection, I'm not sure is it like radiating heat from

70:58 ? No, but your first description heat conduction is truly perfect. So

71:02 is excellent. So, heat affection um heat moving from one place to

71:10 by movement. So, for if you have a um say a

71:17 intrusion in the crust, you you're in a volcanic region and there's

71:21 magma intrusion that magma comes from its in the crust and it takes all

71:27 heat with it when it flows or goes to shallower depths in the in

71:32 crust that would be called called affection heat. So in the earth in

71:39 and in basins, both these forms really important. Heat conduction is really

71:45 . Heat conduction happens ever always. affection of heat may be important as

71:52 . So, you know, these basins, you know, if there's

71:56 tectonic or geologic process that occurs if blocks moving with respect to one another

72:02 . This heat may be affected as . Now heat can also be affected

72:09 fluids in the sedimentary basin. So basins, you know, I'm just

72:17 here for transit through some kind of basin. So the sedimentary basis,

72:24 are, you know, in the layers, there is um hydrology,

72:30 groundwater flow and that grandfather flows through sedimentary basins. And you can imagine

72:38 this groundwater flows much faster than any layers deposited or so. Right.

72:44 these are, you know, this an groundwater flow system and this material

72:51 . So ground water can for also take heat from maybe larger depths

72:57 move it to shallower depths or to side of the basin. So there's

73:02 ways to move heat around in the basin. So several ways to to

73:07 the base and upright can be from we call basal heat flow. The

73:12 comes that comes in from below, from the deeper part of the

73:16 We can have heating up by radioactive of certain minerals or elements that are

73:23 our settlements. And then we can this heat moving around in a sedimentary

73:29 because he is always conducted everywhere and may be infection of heat again,

73:36 flow could do the trick. There and we'll see that later. There

73:40 some places some sedimentary basins for in the gulf of California where um

73:49 have very active groundwater flow systems. we call them geothermal systems, temperatures

73:56 high enough and they effectively move heat so much that it it affects basically

74:04 the heat and the whole basin. So there's some actually pretty cool examples

74:08 go over later. Right. Another that we do in this basin modeling

74:16 we do basic modeling, we we what we call kinetics or kinetics of

74:24 parameters. I'm gonna talk about it the next hour. So um we

74:29 this organic material that is in the right? At least this organic material

74:36 it matures it leaves behind signatures that can measure and that tells us about

74:45 mature are organic material is And veteran reflecting. We'll talk about that a

74:52 bit is an example of that. that means the following means that this

74:58 something we can get get out So when people draw and draw drill

75:04 well and they called the well and look at the sediments they can use

75:09 tonight reflect since to figure out how the source. So from such a

75:17 study based on the core we have idea maybe it sells as well,

75:21 pretty mature. So the basic modeling does the same for us. It

75:28 what it thinks it should be for and we call that kinetics and the

75:34 thing and that's, it's a bit now but becomes clear very nicely next

75:38 is that you can compare what the predicts. It should be with real

75:47 and then you can start to actually your model until they fit. So

75:52 is a thing. We'll talk more the next hour and the next

75:57 Yeah. Is veteran night reflected. is an example of one of these

76:02 . Is that what you're saying? . Okay. Don't they use tonight

76:08 also like to do like paleo heat to kind of like, you

76:14 things are up and down over You need to kind of like reregistered

76:19 something like that. Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah, I'll

76:24 back to that in the next Okay, Alright, I'm sorry.

76:28 , it's it's fine. It's it's really good question. So now some

76:32 these terms may still be, make much sense but fulfill what I

76:37 Now eventually we're also gonna calculate where petroleum generation and petroleum explosion may have

76:44 place Meghan. Can you explain to the words explosion when the hydrocarbons current

76:55 to the rock pores of the They just explode through the tiny pathways

77:01 the social card, into the bigger and that's very easy to find where

77:06 hydrocarbons are because they'll be literally leaking out. Yeah, so explosion is

77:13 one point in time to the hydrocarbons form, they we talked about pressure

77:20 a few minutes ago. Um when you're hydrocarbons form, for example,

77:26 your shield, it causes an increase poor pressure. And um hydrocarbons make

77:33 of the pressure gradient between that high pressure in your source walk and surrounding

77:39 layers. And they move out of source work and they move out into

77:44 rock layers. So above or below source work and then they may find

77:49 their way towards the rest of our . So it is important to understand

77:55 whether that has occurred when it has and then brought direction. This these

78:01 have gone up or down. And the software packages calculate that for us

78:06 well. So we call that primary and explosion and then there's also secondary

78:14 . We talk a little bit about further. So, um in the

78:21 packages this primary, you know, maturation. So petroleum generation cracking,

78:29 from carriage in secondary cracking. This this happens differs from sedimentary basin to

78:38 basin, from source to source work from mythology to mythology. So,

78:45 this modeling software petra moats for example us a choice to choose how,

78:52 know, a model that describes how works, based often on the type

78:58 rock or on the type of sedimentary or sometimes really lit literally um based

79:05 the sedimentary basin. So in the of decades the petroleum industry has gotten

79:11 very good understanding of when petroleum generation place and when this this petroleum that

79:18 first formed, it migrates out and have often published these results in the

79:24 and that information is included in the . So the software may for

79:30 say marcela shell petroleum generation model. then so if you are working on

79:40 , you know, that's that's like specific choice you can make in this

79:46 . Um so in other words, can choose the type, you know

79:50 petroleum generation works dependent on the type source rock, the type of

79:56 Um um you know in these models on your specific problem. So because

80:03 have a free license, we we only have a few models.

80:09 ? So humor. She gave university a few models. So it

80:13 I think the marcellus shale, it have the Buchan but it doesn't have

80:18 200 different source rocks and models. if you would be in a petroleum

80:24 , you would purchase a license like for something like half a million

80:29 And then you would also purchase with petroleum generation models that are more precise

80:35 that may be really specific for the basin for example. So we don't

80:41 that luxury. We have everything So we're gonna, we're just gonna

80:44 with now in an eventually these they are released into the pore space

80:51 they will start to migrate. Now migration, that's a very difficult process

80:58 model right fluids into this tiny, these tiny openings in the subsurface.

81:05 this is an important component of this modeling software packages to do well and

81:10 complex. So we call this fluid , We need to know at this

81:15 in time is our, how high the viscosity of the fluid? You

81:19 imagine that the fluid with the high has a much harder time migrating through

81:25 narrow pores than a fluid with a viscosity. So, um in order

81:31 for the software to know, you how easy migration is, where the

81:35 migrates to. It needs to do fluid analysis. So it's looking at

81:40 the mixture of chemical components of the are. Again, are they higher

81:45 ? A lot of viscosity? Is , is the hydrocarbons that are being

81:50 ? Are they liquids? Are they ? Are they supercritical, etcetera?

81:55 is the density of the material? the viscosity? Um So all that

82:00 is calculated and taking into account for calculations and then um then we calculate

82:11 migration itself. Right. So there different ways to calculate migration. You

82:15 have hurt, especially you may get at the term darcy flow, there's

82:22 a different way to migrate fluids and service by the fusion. So the

82:28 software always has choices. Right? do you think your fluids migrate for

82:33 in this class? It's not really . But you can imagine if you

82:36 do the real work at victorian you may want to figure out what

82:41 more representative of your type of So, um the software package then

82:49 migration accumulation of hydrocarbons. Maybe breakthrough may be too much of pressure forming

82:57 in the rest of our rock. migration along force has taken place,

83:02 cetera now. Um it also shows what the flow paths are.

83:11 if your source workers down here in in the basin, you had petroleum

83:18 material migrates up. It shows you what the flow paths are. Is

83:23 sideways eastwards? Is it northwards, ? And um so it knows what

83:29 carry your bats are. So where can you um can you hydrocarbons

83:38 And then finally it is looking at reservoir. So, it does very

83:44 form reservoir for your metrics. it gives you a a simple estimates

83:50 um you know, whether you have lot of light oil, for

83:54 in your reservoir, what the percentage of gas, um whether there has

84:00 a degradation breakthrough, maybe a leakage in a very simple basic way and

84:09 is um how the software works. this is just a description, as

84:15 can imagine um um in real this is all physics. Right?

84:22 mass. And so we're gonna talk this. That's a little bit probably

84:27 weekend. But this is just to you an idea how in general this

84:32 works. And this type of modeling . Any questions so far before we

84:38 a short break? No, Good. Alright. So I do

84:45 you have 10 more minutes. So it's okay with you, I'm gonna

84:50 sharing and go out of this power and then uh quickly gonna start.

84:58 the next one. Let's see from gonna try to find things.

85:11 So the next power point that I for you, this is actually a

85:20 quick overview or summary of the petroleum . So let's make a start with

85:27 for 10 minutes or so and then a break. Okay, because it's

85:31 a rather long, a rather long and then I realized uh mechanism for

85:40 . Um much of this may be known material, That's fine. But

85:47 have not known more about the like when you ask the type of

85:52 , I haven't heard about them So that's new for me.

85:57 Alright. Yeah, this is just because I think it's important that we're

86:02 the same basics for this class. just talked about all these petroleum system

86:10 . So here they are. So need to have an organic rich source

86:15 , Right? Um Whoops, I'm go on back. Sorry about

86:20 I try to click on something but remove this. So we have an

86:25 rich source work. We need that order to generate oil and gas.

86:30 myself been heated sufficiently. Not too . We don't want to be offer

86:34 sufficiently. Must be the rest of have good porosity and permeability. The

86:42 rock must be sealed by a cap and then the source the reservoir and

86:46 seal must form a trap. Now these are petroleum system elements. If

86:53 read about it, there's one more specific components to a petroleum system and

87:01 timing of when everything happens. So can imagine that's um say your source

87:13 is heated Um to the right temperature million years ago, 17,

87:22 million years ago. But your c'mon not deposited until 20 million years

87:36 So what are you going to do a sedimentary basin without a seal?

87:40 you say you have a source The source work matured 70 million years

87:44 . The organic material um matured and started to form oil and maybe later

87:51 gas. But anyways you had hydrocarbons have a reservoir work. Great reservoir

87:56 was also in place 70 million years . So no problem there. But

88:02 today we look at the base and we see that there's a cap rock

88:05 seal. But then you look at old the Suez and geologists could do

88:11 and they figure out it's only 20 years old. What do you

88:16 Maybe going on with this basin? you think we have a good petroleum

88:22 eventually or no? Um probably They're not trapped. So great.

88:38 this migration is an order of magnitude than geologic defense. So a 50

88:48 year gap between when your source work and you have actually your trap system

88:53 got broken place means you've lost So from this example, you can

89:00 it's really important that you always look the geology right of the basin,

89:05 you have everything in place at the . That's the the source work started

89:12 . So we talk call that time critical moment, critical moment. So

89:19 left word there is is critical critical . And so when you look at

89:25 petroleum system, you're always gonna see at this time that the source work

89:31 for lost, you know, maximum . Did you have everything in

89:36 Because again, if it's not the 50 million years, you've lost

89:40 You're not gonna have a petroleum Yes. So we have a source

89:44 heating up of the source work, , reservoir rock, tap rock trap

89:51 all of that needs to be in by the critical moment. If it's

89:54 all in place again, you have risk that you've lost everything.

90:02 Um this is something I'm not gonna into for this this class? But

90:07 just gonna it's a one minutes look this. So people like to classify

90:12 and it's absolutely most important for this . But I'm just gonna mention

90:16 So, you know that people do . So, people, for

90:19 talk about young, shallow soils or the spoils. Young shallow wells are

90:25 characterized as heavy and fiscus and all oils are often characterized or found to

90:34 low viscosity and low density. I'm gonna ask Macken if you would

90:43 to give it a try to explain . Why does this make sense?

90:53 based on the density. I think oils are categorized the heavier the light

91:03 . Yeah, you're thinking in the direction and with costly also because this

91:09 is actually literally the force which is the flow of the bodies. And

91:14 tend to like, we have different of years based on the viscosity as

91:19 . So, I think that's the they also different shape. But does

91:22 share oil also come into these Okay, right. So there's some

91:29 words here on this slide. Mhm boats and deep, shallow.

91:38 do you think that's related to heavy viscous and low viscosity unload answers.

91:46 just guessing the young and the shallow are having heavy and more scarcity.

91:54 mean, they're having more density compared the old landing points. Yeah.

91:59 how does it work? So this is the last after this we're going

92:04 take a break. So if you're basin again, it starts forming these

92:09 layers are very deeper and deeper. see at this point in time,

92:16 layer here, there's a lot of material and it's now heated up just

92:23 that oil starts to be formed. does it work? This organic material

92:31 of very long molecules. And when start to mature these long molecules,

92:39 start to break not mainly not at edge of the molecule, but somewhere

92:44 the middle. So you you start here, it's shallow depth. So

92:49 just start maturing just warm enough, enter the oil window and you have

92:55 just gonna sketch. It's competitive, have a very long molecule, that

92:59 molecule when it starts to mature it And you end up with two shorter

93:07 . Now you're sedimentary layer now is deeper and deeper. And so sometime

93:14 , oops, I'm just gonna sketch sometime later. It is now located

93:20 at larger that's larger, it's much . So these molecules are gonna break

93:27 again, smaller and smaller parts and gonna go deeper and deeper. No

93:38 that are formed the shadow that some just starts. They are they consist

93:46 a larger percentage of these longer So that has two consequences.

93:53 there are more fiscus higher viscosity to half year. And we call these

94:01 shallow oils because this often happens to that are barely forming at shallow depths

94:09 the sedimentary basin makes sense. So, you know shallow in the

94:13 basin, it's not that hot Um Your oil is still is just

94:18 . So it's not we're not talking um Well that is 200 million years

94:24 . We are talking about oil that's 20 million years old. Or information

94:29 20 million years old. We talk shallow, it's not that warm

94:33 We have many of these longer molecules heavy and viscous. The old deep

94:40 . These can be oils that formed 100 and 50 million years ago,

94:45 in the sedimentary basin temperatures are much . Their maturation is it's much more

94:52 . Right, Organic material maturation is more advanced. So we have many

94:57 , a much larger percentage of these molecules, maybe one step above

95:05 lower fiscal cities because of that and entities. Does that make sense?

95:12 sometimes what you read is that people about all deep oils or young shallow

95:18 . So people have many ways to oils, but this is just one

95:23 to do that. And so petrol based moving software doesn't really characterize it

95:30 this, but it can say for , we have a lot of C

95:37 to C four and we have a of C four to C seven

95:42 And we have fewer percentage of C and larger. So it kind of

95:48 it to some extent. Um So to let you know that. All

95:56 , why it's three. Exactly? don't we have a a 10 minute

96:03 or show before we continue? Does makes sense? Alright, great.

96:16 the company our we're gonna walk through just repeat some of the terminology that

96:21 need to know about petroleum systems for basin models. So, what I'm

96:30 in this slide or the oil window a gas rig, the vertical axis

96:35 this graph that you can see is capital T Or you could also read

96:41 as depth, right? The larger depths in the sedimentary basin, the

96:46 the temperature here will be the surface the earth. This would be deep

96:51 the sedimentary basin between about 55 or and 100 and 50 degrees Celsius,

97:00 about 100 and 50 F and 300 Fahrenheit approximately around those temperatures we find

97:07 oil window. So that depends a bit about the type of organic material

97:13 . But in general, it means , you know, in this temperature

97:17 or depth range we have a mature of organic material starts and oil starts

97:24 be formed. So we call that way. Now now the graph here

97:30 the right shows the natural gas So we have natural gas formation very

97:36 depths, basically the burial of organic . Um you know, methane is

97:44 right and materials start to be so we call that biogenic gas and

97:51 much deeper in the sedimentary basin. temperatures get very high. That's when

97:57 start to form gas. So we oil window at shadow depths and lower

98:02 and the gas window is larger depths higher temperatures. First we form wet

98:11 and then we form dry gas. anybody know what the difference is between

98:15 gas and dry gas accomplish so you're it Exactly. So dry gas is

98:28 and let's get wet gas would be ethane propane routine for example. So

98:34 next three in line, so this what we call methane and wet

98:38 The other the next three in the , basically that form. So when

98:45 increase even higher, what is gonna with the methane, what is gonna

98:50 here below the dry gas just be burned off essentially. Yeah,

99:01 So we are only going to be over with C. Yeah,

99:06 So again, close to the surface biogenic gas must see then a larger

99:17 some temperatures increase. We first reach oil window and then after that we

99:25 the gas, we know first the gas window and a dry gas window

99:30 again these these molecules, you model sees in your molecule decreases,

99:39 ? So here you can have up like 76 or so in your In

99:47 composition and that decreases the more maturation explain. And finally we're left with

99:55 CH four. So there's like this chemical evolution as well, that is

100:01 of other courses in your trajectory. I'm not going to go over

100:05 But just to let you know and we if we have time to do

100:09 the model with the modeling um exercise weekend, you can see it predicts

100:15 of these things. Alright term that need to know for modeling is total

100:22 carbon or T. O. So this is the concentration of organic

100:27 in hold on in source rocks as by the weight percent of organic

100:33 So this is a number. If put in for example, you build

100:38 model and you sail, say we a shield, then Petro modes or

100:45 basic modeling software is gonna ask oh, do you know the percentage

100:49 T. O. C. And you do know it, you know

100:54 because the company has thrilled an exploration into the source rock. And so

100:59 analyzed the source rock there. So are some ideas about C.

101:03 C. If you don't know then what you can do is you

101:07 do good estimates include that and then on, once you've built your whole

101:12 , maybe you can do some sensitivity in which you vary this parameter but

101:17 is T. O. C. when you build your petrol mode

101:20 you will see that one column that asks you for is what the

101:24 O. C. Is. So source rock needs to have a

101:30 O. C. Value. That sense. Right? All right.

101:35 little bit from over a few So towards the left we see total

101:39 carbon content and weight percentage and towards right quality of the source rock.

101:46 these numbers are very small. Should know. So between about two and

101:51 we already call a good um source . Now, what's really important for

102:00 whether the petroleum system has formed is the temperature is that the source rocks

102:06 reached? Right? So the source are the rocks with the organic material

102:10 those are the rocks that are interested to see whether they've reached the oil

102:15 or the gas right now. So do we know, how do we

102:19 if temperatures have been high enough in source rock to form petroleum? Any

102:24 how we could notice? You may heard it in an earlier course,

102:35 using ice Ekron methods um to date that are within that sedimentary unit to

102:43 what their thermal maturity was. So actually you're you're very close.

102:49 So what you're after is you want know the temperature in the past

102:53 The maximum temperature that the sedimentary layer . That's what you're after. So

102:59 call that paleo thermometer. There's many many, not extremely many, but

103:06 many paleo multiple multiple paleo thermometers We're gonna discuss one or two

103:13 And so that is what you're You want to know we call it

103:16 paleo murder because we want to know the highest temperature was that the source

103:21 reached. So maybe if you did well today the source work may not

103:26 very hot and maybe it is because whole basin cool down or whatever

103:32 but it's the highest temperature that has reached. That is going to tell

103:36 whether you're going to be able to oil or gas or whether maybe it

103:41 over mature. So it's a failure over there. That's where after.

103:45 why are we not really interested in cold temperatures to figure this out?

103:53 the bottom world temperatures is where the ends. And we are not interested

103:59 finding it because it might not have oil and gas. Like how much

104:04 stroke will have. Great. So us anything about the past, we

104:09 find the temperature today as 20° lower it was in the past.

104:17 so I'm gonna discuss too because um is something that plays a role in

104:24 modeling. So this basic modeling software , they basically, they predict this

104:31 you can compare the prediction of the with an observation that petroleum company may

104:37 the data that the petroleum company may . So the different types of failure

104:42 is um only gonna go over the that we see most. So you

104:48 divide them into chemical video thermometers and video thermometers. So what's important to

104:57 is we're looking at the maximum temperature the source of rock was subjected and

105:03 temperature can be different from today. ? So that's why we call

105:07 So first let's take a look at example of chemical and that is found

105:14 a process called paralysis. So what the company do? The company may

105:20 drilled a well and court a source . It takes a sample of that

105:26 rock and takes it to the And then uh one experiment that is

105:32 is often done in the lab and University of Houston for many years,

105:37 had a really, really outstanding paralysis . I don't know about the situation

105:44 . This is one of us. you have a sample of your source

105:49 , you're gonna heat it up when heat it up a little bit at

105:52 temperatures. The hydrocarbons that were already that source rock are gonna be

105:57 Ized and you're gonna be able to them. They're gonna come out Then

106:02 corner and be called as S then you're gonna heat up your source

106:06 further at sample further and then what's happen is that organic material that was

106:12 the source work but that was not yet. You're maturing it, you're

106:16 it up you know in a lab switch high temperatures it starts to mature

106:22 that. So those hydrocarbons are done be expelled as well from that sample

106:29 does as to Now she takes the between those two. S.

106:35 So as one story that was the that were already in the sample.

106:40 heated up a little bit they come and you defied that as one by

106:46 as to you get the following. as one again was the amount of

106:51 that was already in the sample was generated. You were able to measure

106:56 and as to as well as produced you heat it up. So the

107:00 of that sample to generate. You the amount of petroleum already generated divided

107:06 the total amount capable of being generated that sample. And that gives you

107:11 about the maturity of the source I just got one note it

107:16 assist the process in which you need the presence of sulfur heat he said

107:24 , in the presence of the cell . I don't know I just heat

107:30 of the story. Okay. I'm just making sure I just read

107:34 some. Okay. All right. if this ratio s. one over

107:42 . one s. 2 is It means that the source focus

107:50 there was not much petroleum already generating . The higher this ratio is the

107:56 mature your source rock case. So can if you know this ratio this

108:02 something you can measure right in the by doing that paralysis experiment. You

108:07 measure the maturity of the source rock we call this sometimes the transformation

108:14 So the transformation ratio of the source is the extent of oil generation.

108:19 the transformation ratio is the decimal fraction reaction completed. So if it's

108:25 we say that our source work is immature. No reaction has happened.

108:30 it's one then your source work is mature. Actually everything has been burned

108:36 and there's no organic material anymore that , you know mature, that's called

108:42 transformation ratio. So transformation ratio of a half is a transformation ratio.

108:49 gives you shows you um great potential a source rock because there's maturation,

108:56 ? It's probably in the oil window it's not in the late gas window

109:02 . Yeah, so that's what this is uh is referring to. So

109:08 software package asks us to put in number for the transformation nature. So

109:14 is the term. So it's it is a value. And how

109:20 you say it? A number of gift or source work to tell us

109:25 how mature it is. If the work is extremely mature, you have

109:28 higher maturation ratio. If it's you have a much lower maturation ratio

109:34 zero again would be completely mature. would be all the available organic material

109:41 been um you know, has been to hydrocarbons. So it would be

109:50 to have a reservoir that's highly Oh, because that's a really good

109:56 . So, um people are after , right, because oil is the

110:01 valuable, so which are after is reservoir where the transformation ratio is closer

110:08 a half that's called the peak. your transformation ratio is 8.9, then

110:15 think what you're gonna find is a of dry gas, methane and it's

110:19 not worth that much money. So general, people are more enthusiastic about

110:25 maturation ratio of 0.4 or 0.6 than are of a maturation ratio of

110:34 Yeah, okay, so that's the ratio, another term. And this

110:44 also often in petroleum system modeling is the hydrogen index. And the hydrogen

110:51 is another maturation indicator. And hydrogen is often shortened to H.

110:59 It's very similar. Hydrogen index is amount of paralyze herbal organic compounds from

111:07 two over the total panic total organic . And it sounds complicated, but

111:14 basically a simple relationship. What this shows you on the vertical axis is

111:21 increasing down rehearsal. And some axis the hydrogen index H I zero on

111:29 left side of the axis. A value towards the right now. If

111:34 no no maturation going on, your index does not change the depth.

111:42 your hydrogen index with depth is basically vertical line. Nothing much changes.

111:48 your data points, if you would them, um they would fall around

111:53 line when maturation starts of your source , then you see that the hydrogen

112:00 value goes down. So at this um dataset from a particular sedimentary

112:08 your maturation probably start around here or from this point in time, you

112:15 that the hydrogen index of the rock of the source rock is going to

112:19 smaller. And if you look at ratio again, this ratio becomes

112:25 It means the amount of pie realizable compounds decreases. A pyre Elizabeth organic

112:32 . Those are the organic compounds in source work that if you heat it

112:36 , could become oil or gas So if that this number here

112:43 you know that you're already maturing your material. So maturation starts as soon

112:50 this hydrogen index goes down. So somebody shows you the hydrogen index graph

113:00 hydrogen index versus depths. You see when maturation starts, the numbers start

113:07 decrease your you go in this direction . So there's less organic material

113:12 then that could still become oil and . Does that make sense? So

113:20 the part because of my Internet Can you repeat it? Yes.

113:26 , where do you want me to the whole hydrogen index? Yes,

113:31 the connection just disrupted. Okay, no problem. All right. So

113:38 end up with the transformation ratio, ? That tells you basically about the

113:43 of the source rock. Now these like to to to to show this

113:51 also in a different way and it's hydrogen index. So the hydrogen index

113:56 also based on experience you do in lab in which you heat up your

114:02 the sample of your source work. the equation definition is slightly different of

114:09 hydrogen index than from the transformation So the hydrogen index is the amount

114:14 paralyzed organic compounds, compounds that are your sample over the total organic carbon

114:21 was in there. So, if fewer organic compounds present in your sample

114:27 still can become oil and gas. means that there has been more

114:34 The more maturation occurs, the less organic material is that is left behind

114:41 can still mature. That's basically that hydrogen index shows us. So here

114:46 can see the graph how that relates depths. So, hydrogen index is

114:52 here on the horizontal axis depths on vertical axis. The hydrogen index does

114:57 change if there's no maturation, but maturation occurs, this number decreases.

115:06 in a graph like that, you almost pinpoints at what depths This steps

115:12 . Um your, your source work starts to mature, Does that make

115:19 ? So when you build a petrol model um, or a model from

115:23 different company. Right? Actually, you have to either give it a

115:30 ratio or hydrogen index. Um, this is a number that we get

115:38 , you know, a sample that been taken from an exploration.

115:41 for example, now the other type video thermometers that we see those are

115:52 paleo thermometers and the one that I'm to talk about is called veteran.

115:56 reflect INts and veteran it reflected is shorter too are on the score of

116:03 , it reflect its So this is paleo thermometer method that was actually developed

116:11 cold photographers. So it has been for a very long time when they

116:15 interested back in the days to assess rank of coal samples. So the

116:19 mature, the more heated the the more you see this in the

116:26 overnight reflects its values. They actually up and I'll show them that this

116:29 a little bit. So the shiny of called increases when you go from

116:34 to emphasize, we all know that ? And that shiny nous. That

116:39 something that if you have an you know specialized lab, you could

116:44 measure it. This is not easy do. You really need to be

116:47 specialist specialist in, but this is that can be done in a specialized

116:53 . So what we're talking about here um you know when you have coal

116:58 forms from you know, organic material from the environment, it's very

117:05 deeper compacted water is expelled. That goes through different maturation stages right from

117:12 to brown coal to black coal to . And if you look at the

117:17 towards the right, you can see even officially look at the core,

117:22 becomes more shiny the more you go this line and it's that shiny

117:27 Um That is meant for tonight's reflect and if you have a normal sedimentary

117:33 , there's always some organic material in sedimentary rock right? Especially when you're

117:38 at the source work. So it's the same reflect instead of reflecting or

117:44 nous that we're looking for a network see, to look, you

117:48 to look at the maturity of the material. So here I've summarized it

117:54 one graph. So you can we've part of this graph before the vertical

117:59 here against depth or temperature. We to cool the oil. The oil

118:04 curve right towards the right of We have the natural gas maturation with

118:09 biogenic gas, the methane at shallow and then the wet gas and then

118:14 gas at large depths and towards the is shown by tonight reflect since So

118:19 eyes reflect tints of immature material close the surface is something like .5 or

118:27 less. And then very mature material for tonight reflections higher than 2.5 or

118:35 would be in the dry gas. in order for mature, so for

118:40 reflections again, those are numbers that may have available available for the source

118:45 so far for tonight's reflection seas between a 0.6 and 1.5, but probably

118:50 the oil window if it's between 1.5 three were probably in the gas window

118:55 larger than three were actually completely burned . And we're graphite completely often

119:01 So this is another paleo thermometer. um this failure thermometers, they come

119:08 very handy when we do based on because you can imagine that um when

119:14 have that information available, you can the heat going into the basin in

119:20 a way that your model predicts exactly has been found in that analysis.

119:25 then you know that you're the temperature your model is right. So that

119:29 petroleum system that it predicts is probably accurate. So that's how we're gonna

119:35 it next weekend. Any questions so about this? Did we say?

119:43 had three paleo thermometers. Yeah, and then we talked about the two

119:51 ones, right transformation ratio and hydrogen and there but there are many

119:57 But these are the ones that I see used basically. And you need

120:02 know for the base of modeling uh know work you may find others in

120:09 literature. Right, let's talk a bit more about this veteran it

120:19 So what you assure you know thinking this fight tonight reflect since is that

120:25 have you know a rather constant increase right? The higher the temperatures the

120:31 shiny those the veteran nights become. um you you expect some type of

120:38 that is rather gradual as you are into the higher temperatures. Sometimes when

120:44 look at the data set of a sedimentary basin you may see changes in

120:52 knights versus steps that are very southern just kinda sketch it. So maybe

120:58 worst until access here shows veteran mental , vertical axis shows depths and imagine

121:06 in the sedimentary basin that you're working the well has been drilled and at

121:11 depths the company has decided to measure it's infections just to get an idea

121:16 the majority of the different sedimentary basin . Now what you would expect is

121:21 your veteran night values increase with Maybe you have some points here and

121:26 and it should look something like Now sometimes if we see something very

121:34 . Um I don't think I can it, can erase it.

121:40 so sometimes you see something like You see a nice increase of value

121:44 that that you would expect and then jump and then you see something like

121:50 , It continues there. Sorry about . So there's some kind of abrupt

121:57 valuation. It could be like it could be going on the other

122:01 , but it does something like So that may point us to something

122:06 a heat defense for something else that taken place in in the basin.

122:11 people use that information to understand the . If you normally would expect a

122:16 increase with depth. And now you all of a sudden a step.

122:20 at these steps here, you would to value something like this. But

122:25 find something that is more like much higher value. What what would

122:30 mean? That means that this material has been heated up much more than

122:37 you normally would have expected. This what you would have expected. There

122:40 been much more heating up and now right over here. So you could

122:44 about what happens. Maybe there was kind of igneous intrusion holds material,

122:49 the salt intrusion that has heated up source rock, maybe you've missed a

122:57 or a nonconformity in your sedimentary And you don't realize that this material

123:03 should actually have been here below. this part here is missing and you

123:11 see it anymore in your well you see that. So such a

123:16 between the or maturity and depth. it isn't what you would expect,

123:24 you need to think about, what I tell you? It's a really

123:27 way to find an unconfirmed et right rock layers in your sedimentary basin or

123:34 of a block along a fault and maybe your material has moved from deeper

123:41 to shallower depths or or maybe give a heat event and Anthony's intrusion.

123:47 , those are things, If you be the basic modeler of a of

123:53 petroleum company, those would be things would think about. You wouldn't do

123:57 blindly right. You would start to if something is out of order questions

124:04 this. Alright then let's move So we talked about migration before you

124:14 ahead. Okay, we talked about before. So, um primary migration

124:20 migration out of the source work towards above or below your source work.

124:28 it can be above and below. . Secondary migration is migration when when

124:34 petroleum is already out of the source , to where it's going to be

124:38 rights of our work. So its migration and secondary migration, This primary

124:46 occurs again because when you form um or gas in a shield. So

124:52 a very small pore space, When you start to mature organic material

124:57 you form oil gas in your you're gonna overpressure the course, you're

125:05 cause overpressure higher pressure in the post as a result of that higher

125:10 you form this pressure gradients. So here's your source work. This is

125:16 a horizontal transact. And then we rock below the source rock and we

125:22 rock above the source rock. Another called the sketch here it's a pressure

125:27 . So pressure. So maybe your is like this you pour pressure and

125:33 in the source rock because the maturation taken place, it's like this and

125:37 below it's below the source rock it's that. So this is a pressure

125:42 high pressure and the source for glower above and below. This pressure gradient

125:47 going to be used by petroleum that been formed to move out of the

125:52 walk. The pressure may be so that this source work starts to fracture

125:57 . Micro micro flex that could be by the petroleum to move out of

126:03 source work. And then the source the petroleum basically moves away. Is

126:09 that pressed out of the source work the overlying or underlying work formation.

126:15 that is called primary immigration. So controlled by this pressure. Then the

126:22 migration. So once your petroleum is of the source work and it's now

126:27 a different type of rock above or . The source book. It may

126:31 to migrate. And why is Why? Why would it move if

126:35 were here or here. Why wouldn't stay there. When would it

126:42 When the pressure increases nope. Good , but not not right for this

126:51 for this particular migration. Secondary migration of the increase in the ferocity in

127:02 rock and the bomb ability. They created the pathways and it just moves

127:08 so the pathways are created. But does the material want to move?

127:13 why doesn't it sit in the Why why does it want to

127:16 Why does your oil or gas once has formed here in these large lapse

127:22 your basin, Why don't they just there? Because there is poor space

127:26 as well. Why doesn't it stay ? Does it not have like a

127:36 seal cap? That's right. So a pathway available, Right? So

127:41 both think you're right along the right . So it leaves the source rock

127:46 of the pressure, right, high and the source walk, it goes

127:51 . It doesn't want to be it wants to go to a lower

127:54 region. But once it's in the pressure reaching, you know what's going

127:58 be important, the fact that oil gas that are being formed even in

128:02 amounts, they have a density that's lower than the rock. So if

128:08 have low density material here in the , it's not going to stay

128:12 No density material wants to move upwards where it's gonna find its either gonna

128:19 cap rock, right? So to to go to shallower depths or if

128:23 never finds the cap rock, it's migrate all the way towards the surface

128:28 basically form an oil spill. A natural um oil oil spill at

128:33 surface of the earth. Yeah. it's it's because of its low

128:39 So the density of oil and gas much lower than the even of heavy

128:45 than the density of the rocks that just it's not gonna be stable

128:50 If it can move it will So the rise primary immigration. We

128:59 talked about it. It's the pressure gradients. Um So the high pressure

129:04 you form in your source works when start, once you start to mature

129:08 organic material, it forms oil and gas that increases the pressure in the

129:13 space. And that drives primary Yeah. And primary migration is um

129:22 the source work to the carrier events call the carrier that deserves our networks

129:27 secondary migration is from the carrier beds the reservoir. And the secondary migration

129:34 is driven by density. So because and gas have lower density than

129:42 Oil and gas are buoyant, which if they can move upward to shallower

129:49 , they will. So keep that mind. Alright, if you were

129:57 before we can have our large last of the day. Right? So

130:02 you see here is a figure that copied from a book this formation here

130:08 horizontal stripes. That's a shell. shell can be a source rock And

130:13 capital, correct? We see here sands rock. Sand reservoir rock,

130:20 see a very nice shaped anti client then above the scent reservoir. Oh

130:26 see again lays of shells. Now arrows that you see here those are

130:32 path arrows. So you can see this shell here at large steps may

130:39 matured and as a result of that and gas may have moved upward,

130:47 upwards into this center is a Also, the shield that is present

130:52 may have matured if this shield matured and gas may move out of it

130:58 of downwards or support. You see that explains the two directions of those

131:05 . So the sand reservoir rock, stones have very good porosity and

131:11 So this would form a reservoir rock you see that because it's kept by

131:17 layer of shell. This here forms very nice trip. We have a

131:22 layer that excess a catwalk above. have a sandstone reservoir. We have

131:27 show layer above. So we basically a four way closure here. You

131:32 that. And then here at the part of the central rock reservoir.

131:37 for we find our oil and natural accumulation. So if this is here

131:45 our reservoir, this black part we're just gonna sketch it here,

131:52 her recipe for and you can see oil and gas are um present in

132:02 reservoir. So where in this particular would we find the oil? And

132:10 would we find the gas? Would be mixed with Zombie on top of

132:15 other? What would be the The density of the gas is less

132:21 density of the oil. So you'll the gas to be literally in a

132:30 place, competitive and great. So gas would be on top because it

132:37 a lower density as you just And oops, I'm so sorry,

132:44 the oil would be at the So sometimes we go call this a

132:49 cap, a gas cap on top the oil. Yeah, excellent.

132:56 just wanted to ask you the pressure just talked about. Is it the

133:00 overburden pressure and the poor pressures? , it's it's the poor pressure sort

133:06 if the if you if you have shale reserve for with organic material and

133:12 materials, these large molecules, these molecules start to break apart, that

133:21 they take more space and you increase poor pressure because there's nothing there to

133:26 to. Right? So you pour increases and that forms a pressure gradient

133:33 that share layer and information above and . That pressure in that source work

133:39 actually become so high that it may or frack the source rock naturally forming

133:47 of the oil and natural gas to its way out of the source

133:51 So primary migration out of the source . Does that make sense?

133:58 Any other questions or concerns? ma'am. Right, let's see um

134:11 Let's I'm gonna skip on this If we have time at the end

134:15 this hour, I'm gonna go over one because there's a few more

134:18 So this actually comes back exactly to question you just asked. So let's

134:23 a little bit about pressure in the . So there's a little static

134:27 Right? So you may have heard this definition pressure imposed on the layer

134:31 rocks by the weight of the overlying . So let us pray that pressure

134:35 higher the deeper you are in the . And so this letter started

134:40 you could summarize in an equation that see here p would be pressure.

134:45 depth, so pressure as a function depth would be P. Zero.

134:49 is pressure at the surface of the plus g the gravitational constant times the

134:55 of the rock layers above you. that means the entire this term is

135:00 entire weight of the layers of elements you. And then plus P.

135:07 . Which was the pressure. The pressure at the surface. So that

135:10 you the pressure a little static pressure any point in depth inside the

135:17 Now the hydrostatic pressure is pressure imposed the column of fluids and at

135:23 And so when we talk about the and the petroleum systems, we talk

135:29 the flu. The pressure is That is caused by the fluids in

135:33 pore space. So the overburden pressure the little aesthetic pressure. Plus this

135:39 pressure. Now, sometimes people talk overpressure or super normal pressure. Super

135:46 pressure is the same as overpressure. those are pressures that are higher than

135:51 would normally expect in your source for rest of our work. So pressures

135:56 are greater than the hydrostatic pressure and can find these over pressures and sediments

136:03 all ages. And how does it naturally? So when you have a

136:08 layer that is buried deeper and the sedimentary layer compacts, fluids are

136:14 out of it and the pore space . Now, sometimes this compassion doesn't

136:20 well. So you're you're you're sedimentary is very deeper and deeper, but

136:26 um there's a shell layer above and fluids just can't escape the pore space

136:33 that point in time. What can is that you're at a depth which

136:36 sedimentary layer and the pore space and that are in the pore space are

136:41 much bigger than what you normally would at that depth that would then cause

136:47 . So, poor space overpressure. as soon as you have compaction in

136:53 you you know bury all of your layer and compaction and you can't get

136:58 of your the fluids in your, your, in your poor space,

137:03 you can create such an over pressure . You're just at a situation in

137:09 you have, you know, more in your poor space than you could

137:12 carry at that depth. So we it's called, it occurs in what

137:17 call a close for fluid environment. maybe maybe you are looking at the

137:24 of central sense that then became sedimentary Sam's central and it had originally quite

137:32 poor space. Central has that It has quite some poor space and

137:36 you're bearing it deeper and deeper. your sense lens, your original sandlin's

137:42 surrounded by hell first by mud layers that then became shell. The shell

137:48 very no permeability and so you can up with that sand lens that now

137:53 a center of sandstone that hasn't been to de water normally. And so

137:59 you were drilling it now you would an over pressure situation. So that

138:05 over pressure and that is something we to be very aware of. So

138:08 many causes of overpressure and I've just here for one is called partition and

138:16 . One is called compaction. All called diet genetic and quickly gonna go

138:21 this because this is important and basic . So partition over pressure is caused

138:28 fluid fill. So you can imagine you have a sedimentary basin here it

138:33 again. And as we have fluid maybe from the site of sedimentary basin

138:40 the center. But hey here in center we actually have somewhere an impermeable

138:45 rock. So you can imagine that pressure may build up here underneath this

138:53 cap rock. So we call that . We also can have structural

138:59 So we have a sedimentary basin and not going to sketch a different

139:03 Now, I'm not going to sketch sedimentary basin that actually has four

139:07 So maybe these are the sedimentary layers . We're seeing four blocks, sketch

139:13 quite right. But you get the and maybe this four block now is

139:17 move upwards with respect to this one and at a later time step it

139:22 this in between a little bit more . Now you can end up with

139:30 layer that um Let's see. I'm so this is correct. Was

139:45 but I'm wondering if I'm explaining it you correctly. All right. So

139:53 have a sedimentary layer that comes from depths and has moved to a different

139:58 . Now the sedimentary layer here has compaction and the poor pressure that belongs

140:05 these steps. If you're gonna move , for example, the shallower depths

140:10 of some technology events. Now you up with a poor pressure that belong

140:16 these steps. But it's now at steps and at that depth it may

140:20 over pressure that may have been normal . But we know that that these

140:25 increase with depth and it may be pressured when you find it at shallow

140:29 . So we call that a structural for overpressure. The search, possible

140:39 of overpressure in the subsurface is what call compaction. And we actually just

140:44 about it. So if you have sedimentary layer and it's being deposited rapidly

140:49 other sedimentary layers are deposited, talk . And so normally you go to

140:53 the sedimentary layers, but now it goes way too fast and you can't

140:57 rid of the poor fluids correctly. you can't be water. You come

141:03 because it was too fast or maybe there were no escape routes. Maybe

141:08 sandlin's was embedded embedded within sandstone and also within shields and it just comes

141:16 rid of its fluids. That may be a possible way to offer pressure

141:22 sentence. And I'm gonna go one to illustrate this because this is something

141:32 happens very frequently. And they see on many um wristed margins or passive

141:37 , continent margins. So, take look at the top fish here here

141:41 see here, the ocean towards the with the fish in it. And

141:45 we see here a sediment packages that been deposited on the edge of the

141:50 . So this is on the on rift of marching the gray stuff here

141:55 be shell. And then, this here would be sandstone? The

142:03 part would be sent stone. what you often have when you are

142:06 four continents is that you have sea rise and fall. So when sea

142:12 rises and the margin of your continent underwater, you're gonna submit sediments that

142:18 very typical for marine sea environments, , for example, then later in

142:26 the seawater level may fall again. you see level, force your on

142:31 margin, the edge of your rivers, maybe transporting material sent etcetera

142:38 from the continent. So it's less that you're gonna be depositing shield

142:42 You're gonna be depositing scent. So much some fine material, but you're

142:47 gonna be depositing scent later on the level may rise again, they fall

142:53 , etcetera. So, because of sea level rise and fall that naturally

142:58 on birth. What we see is we can have these sand lances that

143:07 embedded within shield and you can imagine event, that whole system subsides.

143:14 sand lens cannot get rid of its fluids. Its water naturally because the

143:22 that surrounds it just doesn't have enough available for the material to escape.

143:28 it's very normal for us to see pressured sand lances in embedded in

143:35 So you can imagine that you this fairly common. This is not like

143:39 abnormal situation or So. Now the topic, the last cause for causing

143:48 is something that we call a diet cause or a diet genetic gap.

143:54 what does dia genetic mean? Do know that in this context? What

143:58 die a genesis mean? What are talking about if we're talking about that

144:04 ? There are three process for the agencies. Made a genesis and genesis

144:12 on the depths and the temperature and pressure differences. Yeah, So dia

144:19 is what happens first. So your are being positive and while they're being

144:25 they undergo changes, right? For pressure. Sorry, poor space

144:31 they compact, they did water that segmentation, segmentation is fairly normal to

144:39 . Right? And that's that's almost these grains together. So that's the

144:44 genetic phase. So you basically go sediments to sedimentary rocks. When you

144:50 from sediments to sedimentary books and you to put cement down there maybe because

144:56 groundwater flow or meteoric water, you to cement these grains together. What

145:04 do is you reduce the porosity and . That makes sense. Right?

145:09 going to start to develop those that's space with cement. And so when

145:15 fill up the pore space with you end up with low porosity and

145:19 permeability. And you can imagine that have a you know, if these

145:24 your sedimentary layers, one of these layers, the process of segmentation was

145:31 effective and it's now gonna be a within your basin that is very low

145:39 and permeability. And that layer is not gonna allow de watering from the

145:46 below. It's not gonna happen And so it's confirmed if you call

145:51 diet genetic cap, basically an almost impermeable cap. And as a

145:58 of that, the layers below that's , they can start to overpressure if

146:03 whole system subsides further and you can't rid of your your your water in

146:07 poor space, you're losing your poor , you're gonna over pressure. So

146:12 will be the last very common core a cause of overpressure. So basically

146:18 a result of cement ation for carbonate cemented shields. So you have

146:24 layer of shield with that that's carbonate for space is now almost zero.

146:30 is almost zero. And um you when you drill through it and you

146:35 it underneath it, you may find overpressure layer. Any questions about

146:42 Does this give you a general idea overpressure in the subsurface? Yes,

146:51 . Right. Sometimes pressures are lower normal, we call that subnormal

146:58 Some subnormal pressures are pressures that are than what you normally would expect at

147:03 depth. So this occurs also in . This occurs in reservoirs that are

147:09 that are isolated so separated from circulating for example and reservoirs that are petroleum

147:19 that are separated or isolated from each . Let me see if I have

147:24 picture. I don't so, say have a reservoir rock here petroleum reservoir

147:32 which you find oil and you start produce it. Now, maybe what

147:37 didn't realize is that there was a in this reservoir and this force was

147:44 it formed naturally by eulogy processes for reason. Um It's it forms an

147:52 layer, sometimes falls through that there all kinds of fluid flow processes that

147:58 metamorphoses. Um and for some reason particular fault instead of it being open

148:03 allowing for fluid film, it's closed it became a impermeable barrier.

148:11 say your drill here into this part the reservoir, you're gonna extract,

148:16 gonna pump out oil or gas. pressure on this side then decreases.

148:24 this rest of far rock now is in contact with the other side of

148:28 force. And the poor space here not filled in with, you

148:34 groundwater for example, you can imagine end up with a reservoir that is

148:39 pressure. It has a subnormal So, that is something that can

148:43 as well. Alright, questions so . So, this Hayden gives

148:52 like the minimum um information that you to know for the base modeling petroleum

148:59 , if you know what I If this wasn't in your background.

149:04 right, okay, so you're talking if the reservoir is under pressure.

149:13 ? But what will be the consequences the reservoir is over pressure?

149:20 as a petroleum engineer, I would very worried. Um So, drilling

149:27 an over pressure reservoir is dangerous. ? And so that is the main

149:32 there. So if if you um for based modeling doesn't have much effect

149:41 you do, based on modeling, you do it often you may you

149:45 gain an insight and understanding of when could expect over pressured layer. So

149:51 is something then that you could communicate other people in a in a

149:56 Right. But petroleum engineers need to very aware of over pressured formations because

150:02 the danger that it gives you when try to drill through that.

150:08 for basic modeling, um it's not not directly related to what we will

150:13 here except for I think when you you do basic modeling more and

150:18 you have an understanding of how these form etcetera, you may get an

150:24 of um if you may if there be an overpressure layer. Okay,

150:35 gonna stop sharing here. Alright. I suggest is that we take a

150:41 break, 5 to 10 minutes or and then we have one more hour

150:45 go. And in that hour I talk about the deep birth and that's

150:50 end would be that will be the of today. Okay, sounds

150:55 See you soon. Okay, They were starting. So this is

151:06 last hour of today. I'm gonna an introduction to the deeper earth and

151:13 course a lot going on in the earth. So we're only going to

151:17 on things we need to know because are somehow important for um base sediment

151:23 basis. Okay so I'm gonna start all the way in the center of

151:28 earth with the earth's inner core and the inner court. It's the first

151:38 that I'm going to talk about. this inner core is um Extends from

151:49 center of the earth which is at depth of about 60 300 km Outwards

151:59 a depth that is about 50 150 . So the inner core of the

152:08 is solid. It consists of mainly iron and a little bit of

152:20 And it has has a density. density I'm gonna say is a

152:28 Yeah density is a row and the rho is larger than 12 thousands kilograms

152:37 keep. So it's very dense It has a fiscal city and fiscal

152:48 we don't know but it probably is like Um 10 to the 14 Moscow

152:57 . So viscosity, the unit of cities, pascal p a capital p

153:04 a seconds as 10 to the 14 seconds. Its temperature temperature Is larger

153:18 5,000°C. And the material behaves in a manner. So fiscus as in not

153:32 for example. Fiscus manner. Now outside of the inner core, people

153:40 that there's tectonics going on. This not the technology we have at the

153:45 , but there is some evidence for . Maybe slippers may be moving over

153:54 other here on the outside of the court. Now this inner core grows

154:01 time. So when earth started to there was no inner core. The

154:06 core grows because the earth is cooling and as the core as a whole

154:13 core and inner core and amount of earth are cooling down. That the

154:17 core grows because iron and nickel that in the outer core become parts they

154:25 on top of the outside of the core. So over time, this

154:31 core grows by freezing of iron and that are coming out of the outer

154:39 and that are becoming part of the core. So as earth's cools

154:46 which happens every day, um the core grows a tiny amount because iron

154:52 nickel basically freeze on top of that core. So that means that the

154:58 core grows over time. It also that the outer core. Let me

155:04 if I can embrace this. The corpse which is located outside of the

155:14 core. Of course the outer core loses iron and nickel elements to the

155:21 core over time. So the outer , which also consists of iron and

155:27 . In the course of time, is losing iron and nickel to the

155:31 core. And the outer core also some other elements in it that are

155:36 than iron and nickel and that are behind in the outer core. So

155:42 heavy elements are sinking to the becoming part of the inner court.

155:46 lighter elements stay in the outer The outer core extends from the depth

155:52 about 50 150 km to a depth about 2900 km now. The outer

156:03 is not solid, it's liquid and outer core also consists of iron and

156:14 plus other lighter elements. So the core is lighter, lower density than

156:20 inner core. The inner core density something that 12,000 kg per cube.

156:26 outer core density is something like 10,000 per cube. So it's much lighter

156:33 the inner core. The outer this is really interesting. It has

156:39 fiscal city that is not something like to the 14 past four seconds.

156:45 viscous. But it has a that is something like 10 to the

156:52 three pascal seconds. And just to what that is that's similar to the

156:59 of water. So in other the outer core, even though it

157:03 iron and nickel and and you medals, it feels like water.

157:09 so it's pretty interesting. So the core is conflicting. You may have

157:16 of that we call that outer core . And this confection of the outer

157:25 . That is not random or But outer core infection aligns very beautifully

157:32 these Halleck shaped confection currents that surrounds the inner core. So that would

157:41 , you know, one here for that you can't see on the on

157:44 outside etcetera. So it's beautiful aligned surrounding the inner core. The outer

157:52 again is liquid. It's convicting. also consists of iron and nickel and

157:58 very low viscosity. As low as . People estimate that's you know,

158:04 fluid in the outer court moves maybe fast as a you know, slow

158:10 river so it flows quite a lot year. And then again this

158:17 we call it hell eco confection. here we're gonna start at the point

158:23 is important for sedimentary basis. It this week. So um the outer

158:31 is conflicting and it brings heat from core towards shallower layers so that heat

158:40 the out of core. Now this heat. And now I'm gonna go

158:48 an empty page and we're gonna start . So here is our outer core

158:54 and heat was coming out of this core heat or heat flow. That

159:06 enters the next layer on earth. this was the core and here is

159:11 inner cord out of court is here of court in a court. This

159:16 enters the next layer which is the mantle. And this lower mental on

159:25 is like a special layer at its , lower most site and that layer

159:31 here, it's irregular in thickness. I'm just trying to sketch it here

159:36 this layer has a name and it's D double Crime data were prime

159:47 So this layer has only been studied recently in the last decade or

159:53 So we haven't known wrong about this yet. So the thickness of this

159:58 of a prime layer is in some , maybe 100 km. In other

160:03 , it may be like more like km. It's very from place to

160:10 prime layer. So this need of prime layer forms the boundary between the

160:17 which is rocky as we know, and outer core which is a metallic

160:29 metallic liquid. No rocks from the can ever enter the core but people

160:39 that material from the court may leak into the seat of a prime layer

160:44 a in a few locations. And in this lead over prime layer and

160:49 look at it with geophysical methods, evidence that are some leaked core

160:54 a metallic liquid material in this deed prime layer that leaks out for some

161:02 . Now the heat that comes out this outer core and then enter city

161:08 prime layer and then enters the lower . That heat is important for the

161:14 of some sedimentary basins and for folk Ism on earth. Because what this

161:21 does that comes out of the it may start to collect here must

161:26 that more later and form plumes of material to the plumes of hot

161:33 a plume of hot material that rises the way towards surface of the earth

161:40 at least towards um out of more of the earth. So plumes of

161:46 material. So they originate here all way at the outer core, at

161:51 base of the Mental. And we the effects of the surface of the

161:55 . I'll come back to that Next weekend. In the third

162:00 Yeah. So they are. This is important for us. So we

162:06 that this deed of a prime layer we find all the way here at

162:09 base of the mentor is the birthplace mental plews. The first place of

162:24 plumes. Yeah. So this um data were prime layer is also of

162:36 . I'm going to show that the slides because of something else. So

162:41 is again our out of core, ? There was a deed of a

162:47 layer that looks weird and here is lower most parrot of the mental,

162:52 mental. And here was the outer at the Earth's surface. As you

162:59 remember from your undergrad degree, we subduction, right? Subduction of oceanic

163:05 sphere that's um just trying to sketch surface here. Subduction of oceanic little

163:12 into the mantle and the subduction of oceanic plate into the mantle. This

163:19 goes somewhere, this subduction is going and on this things deeper and

163:25 And this material, this subjected oceanic material actually ends up in this lead

163:31 prime layer. So this leader of prime layer is also the graveyard,

163:38 of seductive slabs, graveyard or subjected . Right, let's move up.

164:07 , we have here to inter court out of court. Lower mental,

164:12 mental. And here was the D prime layer to the lower mental consistent

164:22 . Just like the rocks we find at the surface slightly different composition.

164:27 the lower mantle and the outside of lower mantle. We find the upper

164:33 a permanent one. The upper mantle layered as well. It has a

164:44 layer that is called the transition that's a layer of all of it

164:56 called the esteem a sphere. And a layer above that that is called

165:05 little sphere. Yes, so lower upper mental and upper mental consists of

165:15 transition zone layer, that nastiness, layer and the outermost part of the

165:20 is formed by the little sphere. the mental plumes that may form here

165:26 the way to the prime layer. may find its way through the mental

165:33 the way through the transition zone into atmosphere. And they may actually poems

165:39 beneath troops. The little sphere. this remember. So this is holds

165:48 . So you can remember that this gonna affect the formation and the evolution

165:53 some sedimentary basins all the way So we'll come back to that tomorrow

165:59 next week. So the transition zone between about 660 km steps And 410

166:09 steps. And then above that we the esteem sphere and then we find

166:14 base of the little sphere at about kilometer steps Or maybe 120.

166:26 let's take a look at some numbers , let's start with the Esteem a

166:32 . So the density of the esteemed sphere is something like 30 200 kg

166:39 cube. So this is a number you will see come back a lot

166:46 week. And we can answer and really important for many, you

166:52 sedimentary basis processes. City is high , 10 to the 1910 to the

167:06 plus called seconds. So, you know, compare that that that's

167:11 youth. 10 to the minus three we get there right in the

167:14 Of course it's much much higher Let's go a little bit lower in

167:22 transition zone. This layer here we a density That is about 4000s.

167:33 a little bit higher and the viscosity is about 10 to the 21 was

167:38 seconds. Now, what I'm finally do. I'm gonna now go into

167:46 shallower parts here for the little Let's take a look at the list

167:51 . I'm just going to sketch it worse mentally, just to make things

167:55 . Use too little steel. So here was the sphere With a density

168:03 3200 kg per cube. And then we have the little sphere. Upper

168:15 is formed by the crust. And lower part we call the mental religious

168:31 , Right? The mental atmosphere has density for about 3300 kg are

168:40 And then the crust is the value it varies a little bit, but

168:45 like 2800 kg per key. And here we are at the surface of

168:54 earth. Now, the viscosity of mental little sphere is something like 10

169:08 the 21-2023 seconds. So very Just really working material and after

169:18 It's something similar. Okay, I'm gonna take a look at the

169:28 in more detail. So, here's surface of the earth. I'm just

169:33 a three year. That's the surface the earth. This here is the

169:36 of the first, so, here's mantle. What is the name of

169:42 base of the chris, Do you ? No memories coming up mojo.

169:57 , um so this is a you need to remember. The

170:01 cursed cursed is to fight it into upper crust. The lower crest,

170:15 upper crust is what we call The lower cost is what we call

170:24 doctor. And the mentor is what call fiscus. What's the difference between

170:36 and ductile? What's the difference between brittle upper crust and a doctor

170:44 I know the difference between the brittle and the doctor materials. Is it

170:49 same? Not just saying that that's different. If you try to stretch

170:55 , they respond differently. What do do differently? Don't let you sit

171:05 the room. It's been a You know what you want me to

171:16 in here. These are how they , how they deform their defamation brittle

171:25 that fractures ductal ductal means that it's flowing and viscous is just like thick

171:35 thick material, thick, thick I guess. Yeah, I guess

171:42 in the upper crust, you Right? So some of these faults

171:48 the upper crust, they go deep they enter the lower crust in the

171:53 cursed. You don't have faults. too hot. The workers must break

171:57 the fault, right? It's what deal said is contested before. So

172:03 in the upper crust may become what call the sheer song in the lower

172:13 . So in other words, if look at those rocks, you see

172:17 is sharing is moving but it's not not a peeing break. The physical

172:24 cannot form such shear zones because it's forming fiscally. Right? So you

172:30 have that build up um Of of how you see say it uh um

172:38 know, hearing doesn't happen in that that you can form and maintain shear

172:44 . Um So there's a difference So what is important for us?

172:49 need to know that chris really Right. We need to know the

172:54 atmosphere underneath it really well. We to know the densities so we're gonna

172:59 it simple in this class. Upper people think has a little bit lower

173:04 than the workers. But let's just this 2800 kg per Cuba doesn't really

173:09 that much. Something like that. sometimes people say the upper crust is

173:16 like 2700 kg per two. Something that. A little bit lower.

173:22 , that's the course the mental is density of something like mental atmosphere,

173:27 kg per tube. And then underneath we have the esteem sphere And it

173:37 a density that's a little bit 30 200 kg per Cuba.

173:44 so that's important to remember Brito up doctor or lower across fiscus part of

173:50 mental little sphere. This here is entire little sphere. The mojo is

173:55 boundary between the cursed and the mental then below the little sphere we find

174:00 steam a sphere if you don't pick anything else of this hour. This

174:04 you really need to notice. So to realize. The cursed is lower

174:09 16. The mental little sphere is density, 3300. And underneath the

174:16 tina sphere as again lower density. let's talk about sicknesses. We have

174:24 little bit of time left over. Typical thickness of the crust and the

174:33 is something like 35 km or Depends on where in some places 30

174:38 , all the places 16. It gives you a ballpark number. Typical

174:46 of the base of the little So the little sphere estimates fear boundary

174:50 something like 100 kilometers or maybe 100 20 kilometers. Something like that.

174:55 much deeper than that. Yes, below that we find the esteem a

175:01 . The esteem a sphere, it a lower density because small portion of

175:07 rocks there is molten, we call partial melting will come back to that

175:12 . So there is some amount in rocks of the esteem a sphere.

175:17 is why it has lower density multi has lower density and solar material.

175:23 also because there's a little, you , some small fraction 3% or so

175:28 molten rock in the esteem a the atmosphere flows more easily. You

175:34 that it's not a rocketing to If it can flow, it will

175:38 , so it will flow, it's viscosity flows more easily. This mental

175:43 it. The mental portion of the street is much more Fiscus, difficult

175:47 move, difficult to reform. Let see what else. Um, maybe

176:00 one more thing. I'm gonna make clean slate again. Um Service of

176:07 earth mojo mojo was the base of crist. This is the base of

176:16 little sphere. So the little spheres , these steel spheres here and this

176:27 will be called the little sphere sphere . So, of course here,

176:33 we've upper cursed and lower crust And here is the mental portion of the

176:42 sphere. The mental little sphere up lower cost mental little sphere. The

176:47 crust resolve was brutal forms, Lower across this dark tale and then

176:54 mantel was Fiscus. The is physical well. Now he remembers through the

177:03 right? Upper and lower cost lower 2800 mental literature, 3300 S tennis

177:10 , 200 km per here. Let's about temperatures because temperatures are so important

177:17 sedimentary basis. So are sedimentary basin here, right. The small proportion

177:25 the upper crust. Or maybe if a deep basin, something like

177:30 Or maybe even if it's an organic or something like that. But that's

177:35 where our basin is. It says all The surface temperature, whatever 0°C

177:42 so, um Rachel Ductile transition is around 375°C. Base of the moral

177:55 Just to give you an idea maybe 700°C, but this varies from place to

178:03 the base of the little sphere. sphere schemes fear boundary. Many scientists

178:09 it's something like 1300°C. And then remember oil in the railroad suits, It

178:23 like 80 degrees or so. exactly. So it's literally somewhere

178:28 right, the oil window. And guess when a tiny bit deeper,

178:32 you see there really in the uppermost of the crust, we're nowhere near

178:37 lower crust or something like that. So these are important numbers to

178:45 especially this 1, 1300° near the of the Mojo, something like

178:51 So, these numbers, they come later. If we think about vocalism

178:59 there's a lot of melt presence here rock, the molten rock finds itself

179:05 shallower, adapt. It moves upwards rock to melt molten rock moves

179:10 Maybe it's palms a little bit here the crust, below the mobile

179:15 But some of it may find its towards the surface and we have some

179:18 of magmatic intrusion in the sedimentary To think about the temperature material here

179:24 certain on the decrease, Okay, cools down a little bit when it

179:28 its way towards the surface. But in the sedimentary basin, a dyke

179:33 a silla magmatic silver magmatic dyke may be 1000 To 1200°C. It's hoped material

179:46 all the way from down here and can imagine if that intrusion sedimentary basin

179:51 really affect maturity. Okay, so think that I am going to stop

180:02 with this material for the day. quickly gonna go um to the power

180:10 that I have um then you stop sharing so I can actually find the

180:19 points. Um Alright, so I a PowerPoint that summarizes the deep

180:27 It's called earth layering. And we're start it now and in the last

180:31 minutes I'm just gonna share this with . Um Let's start it off.

180:46 , okay. So um in times we have a lot of time exercise

180:53 layer of the earth, it's actually online notes if you want to make

180:57 so we would go together through this of earth. So we don't have

181:01 do it because you work through it . So, but if you want

181:04 take a look at it, it's . Here's an overview figure that I

181:09 very much personally because it's very clearly described these different layers. So

181:15 important for you, which you really to know, you need to

181:19 Talk right continental crust, oceanic course haven't really talked about that continent of

181:24 is super important for sedimentary basins. little sphere. So the continental crust

181:29 the mental portion of the little sphere form a little sphere. You need

181:33 know that and the sickness. You to know that underneath it is the

181:38 fair. So, these are also . Little spheres works. Crystal rocks

181:42 . Fear of rocks transitions on the . But the ionosphere again, as

181:46 purchase amount, so it moves much easily. It's important for us as

181:51 . Remember these different densities 1st 28 Mentalists fear 3300 underneath the skin

182:00 3200, something like that. make sure that you understand that

182:04 heavy, a little bit lighter, then underneath it is the transition

182:09 And so the reason I'm saying this because a lot of her understanding of

182:14 basins has to do with how the responds to these different density differences.

182:19 , it comes up from now on time. Yes. So, cursed

182:24 lower cursed mojo is the boundary between cursed fundamental Mental little sphere from the

182:31 part of the little sphere underneath that have the atmosphere. So, if

182:35 forgot it, make sure that you . So, I'm not gonna ask

182:39 course about the deep birth or the of these layers. You don't have

182:43 know that. Um But it's you know, I'm not gonna ask

182:48 like that. You can if you to know where to look it

182:50 but to understand the rest of the , you just need to need to

182:54 , you need to remember again, shallow parts chris's mental atmosphere. Little

182:58 estamos fear, okay, this is topic that's let me see where

183:06 Well, we can talk about So here's a map of the

183:10 You may may not have seen this . Well, here's a map of

183:14 earth and it has almost dispatches named covert in. So these patches are

183:20 super interesting. If you look at rocks here in these patches, these

183:25 all volcanic rocks. And some of areas are gigantic. You see,

183:31 this one here is called. It's the size of the half of the

183:36 US here in the Galapagos rise the of, you know, southern

183:42 So these are gigantic provinces on earth volcanic rocks we call these large thickness

183:51 , This large igneous provinces. Um don't know how exactly they form,

183:57 there are indications that they may be to this plumes of mental hot plumes

184:02 mental coming all the way from the portion of the earth moving towards the

184:07 . And what we'll see tomorrow next is that they may play a role

184:13 the formation of some sedimentary basins. that's what I'm talking about these.

184:18 this is what his province look So there's one in India just gonna

184:24 something, it's not on the Oh it is. You can't really

184:29 it. It's like here, it's the deccan traps. It's one of

184:34 . So these rocks, they are basically layers of lava flows. So

184:40 forms this entire huge mountain range. really amazing. We have also one

184:46 these in the US. So here can see the metro Washington Oregon.

184:52 colored area here is our own large province. It's called Colombia with our

184:58 in Oregon and Washington. You can again, if you look at this

185:02 , these are brussels, right? are igneous rocks. Okay, there's

185:10 places on earth where people think there's for these mental plumes plumes of hot

185:16 coming up and when this proves material up, we sometimes call these

185:22 So it's like, it's almost like different word for the same thing called

185:28 hotspot. You can see Hawaii So as you probably know, is a

185:34 of volcanoes that is so large that have risen above sea level. So

185:40 are volcanoes on the ocean floor so there above sea level. So you

185:45 see here, you know, the island's build up of two very large

185:51 . If you would look at the of these volcanoes, this one would

185:56 young and the age would increase. back this one week old. And

186:02 may have seen that people think that lines of volcanoes with younger ones going

186:09 the way to older ones that they caused by the tectonic plate, the

186:14 of the earth moving above a mantle hotspots more about that tomorrow and next

186:22 . So what you see here is figure that you may have seen before

186:25 class. You see here, the through the little sphere, oceanic crust

186:32 top this here's the cursed, the ground. This here's the mental part

186:36 the little sphere. Here is the and hear a mantle plume has come

186:42 all the way from the deal of prime layer at the base of the

186:46 material comes up. It's hot rocks to melt some of the molten

186:51 makes it all the way towards the . We have a volcanic eruption and

186:54 can start to form a volcano Now you're tectonic plates moves over the

187:01 this location of the hotspot and the moves over it. We start to

187:07 a line of volcanoes above the hotspots that is hawaii So similar processes happen

187:14 sedimentary basins, urban continents breakup, they can be very important for sedimentary

187:21 and petroleum systems because you can already it. Both. Material comment from

187:26 molten rocks, lava or magma that this way Francis way towards the

187:32 the bell goes off. If this up a new sedimentary basin as a

187:37 or sell it may really heat up source rock. Alright, here's another

187:43 of a mantle plume going to skip . This one. I'm gonna skip

187:46 now. And because it's 10-5, gonna talk about this. Either either

187:55 or next week. Yeah. I'm gonna stop it here for today

188:01 ask you all if you have any . So, I got one you

188:08 talking about the brutal and the Doctor the upper and the lower cross.

188:12 . Can you just explain me why are named like that again?

188:19 if you have heard about brittle it's But do it the same one

188:27 the kind of crossed the and the is how it default upper crust deforms

188:34 . Lower crust deforms. Doctor. . It's the same like it's the

188:40 . Right? Yeah. So that correct. We call it the upper

188:46 . If it's Britain, we call the first ethics doctor. Most of

188:50 time people talk about upper crust, crust. Not all see in the

188:55 weeks the sedimentary basins forming the cursed ? Some sedimentary basins such as

189:01 They have a lot of false that in the brittle upper crust. So

189:04 had a brittle upper crust is really . That term is important. And

189:09 may also see that term if you read about, you know, a

189:13 system that formed in a certain type sedimentary basin. In some sedimentary

189:18 faults are really important and others not all. But in some sedimentary

189:23 faults are important. So, the that you have a brittle upper first

189:28 , it plays a big role in these basins form and what they look

189:32 eventually. So, these terms will important in the coming weeks basically.

189:38 . Thank you. Yeah. The deal. You're, you're quite

189:47 I'm very sorry for interrupting. Like was very rude. Sorry.

189:51 it is really no problem. Whatever can add or ask us. We

189:57 very happy with you here. you're muted. I was gonna say

190:09 the instructor. Not. I I don't want to. Uh

190:20 It's what's difficult for me to keep . Are you saying? That's

190:27 So, but I don't want to , Yeah. Already, if nothing

190:35 , um, please relax tonight. I'll see you tomorrow morning at 8

190:42 Utah. You'll be there at 8 . Right? With our new

190:49 I guess. That's it. Are we gonna get are we gonna

190:56 a whole bunch of new lecture notes ? Yes, I will actually,

190:59 will send them out once we're done . So I have them ready

191:03 So I'm gonna send them out in next half hour. So, so

191:07 we could do, we could So you Takahiro upload them on

191:14 But since we're all here and we're three, we can all, I

191:18 only also send it directly to you you want. You know, I

191:23 know how to get, I don't how to get black to black

191:30 Right. I will do that. you should see them. Hopefully in

191:34 next 10, 15 minutes or Okay. Great. Nothing to prepare

191:39 tomorrow. And we'll see you at 30 then. Awesome. Thank

191:44 ma'am. Good night. Right. .
