00:00 | this conference will now be recorded. , so you can all see uh |
|
|
00:13 | full screen. Now, I'm on motivation side. Why is this important |
|
|
00:20 | us? So, I'm going to you a synthetic example from mike, |
|
|
00:25 | cell and Daiwa han. Uh This a synthetic cdp gather. Uh and |
|
|
00:36 | in particular, it had the normal out corrected. So here we have |
|
|
00:43 | receiver offset on the horizontal axis. have seismic record time on the vertical |
|
|
00:49 | . And so you see the longer source receiver offset, the longer the |
|
|
00:54 | time would be. But these events all coming in at the same |
|
|
00:58 | And that's because we've corrected for the . This is what we do before |
|
|
01:05 | . We do velocity analysis, we the events up and then we stack |
|
|
01:09 | together. And the reason for looking the gather before we've set. As |
|
|
01:16 | can see there is additional diagnostic information . Many of these layers have almost |
|
|
01:23 | identical response at the different source receiver . But this particular layer, which |
|
|
01:31 | to be important because it's a reservoir a big variation of amplitude uh with |
|
|
01:40 | angle of incidence or with increasing source offset. So, when you stack |
|
|
01:46 | , this variation is lost, all get is the mean amplitude somewhere in |
|
|
01:52 | . And you're losing that thing, can be diagnostic of hydrocarbons. All |
|
|
01:58 | , so this particular model, that had a V P V s ratio |
|
|
02:03 | vP. I mean p wave velocity shear wave velocity that ratio tends to |
|
|
02:09 | very sensitive to hydrocarbons. So that here is 1.83 in the reservoir |
|
|
02:18 | which is the sand And on either of the reservoir layer, it's 2.13 |
|
|
02:23 | is the shell. Now, we're to vary the V. P. |
|
|
02:28 | . S ratio in these formations very . In fact, we're going to |
|
|
02:33 | down the V P B. S in the sand a little bit, |
|
|
02:37 | also in the shell, because very you get some gas in the shell |
|
|
02:43 | it's it's the PBS ratio of it to not just in your reservoir. |
|
|
02:48 | what is the response which we get we do that? In this case |
|
|
02:54 | get a flat response. This is to what people's expectation is. The |
|
|
03:00 | of thumb is when I have gas I have a low B P |
|
|
03:06 | S ratio, I have an amplitude with offset. But you see |
|
|
03:10 | we have a relatively high V. . V. S ratio. This |
|
|
03:13 | actually a brian sand that has an increase with offset. And when I |
|
|
03:19 | the V. P. B. ratio, when I have gas and |
|
|
03:22 | up giving me very little change of with offset. So one could, |
|
|
03:29 | this particular case, if one was for amplitude increases with offset to be |
|
|
03:35 | hydrocarbons, you would be drilling dry and believe me a lot of that |
|
|
03:41 | been done over the years. Uh you, uh but if you correctly |
|
|
03:47 | the data, you'll understand that what looking for for gas and you want |
|
|
03:51 | flat a the response in this particular and for brian sand, the amplitude |
|
|
03:57 | would offset would be indicative of brides . The other thing we could see |
|
|
04:03 | a very small change in V. . V. S ratio could give |
|
|
04:07 | a big change in the amplitude versus . So the seismic can be very |
|
|
04:12 | here to the presence or absence of . Okay, so a variety of |
|
|
04:22 | of rob rock physics in reservoir If we're trying to characterize the reservoir |
|
|
04:30 | we're trying to monitor the changes in reservoir and understand what they mean. |
|
|
04:35 | we watch the seismic data chan, rock physics is necessary for all of |
|
|
04:41 | . Uh, you know, for and we want to see the lateral |
|
|
04:45 | of rock properties brock physics helps us how the seismic data will change as |
|
|
04:53 | rock properties change direct hydrocarbon detection. just saw an example of that. |
|
|
05:01 | are conventional DHS or direct hydrocarbon There's a video analysis and pre stacking |
|
|
05:09 | and so forth. All of this calibrated with rock physics and you can |
|
|
05:14 | in the previous example that if you understand the rock physics generating the seismic |
|
|
05:22 | , you, you might uh, you're just looking at the seismic data |
|
|
05:26 | an attribute without understanding why the data doing what it's doing you're liable to |
|
|
05:34 | serious mistakes and then of course there the, all the engineering applications primarily |
|
|
05:40 | drilling engineering, but also in near geo hazards in uh, setting |
|
|
05:49 | uh, structures at the surface. , all of this involves understanding the |
|
|
05:55 | mechanics and the rock physics is helpful as well. What do I mean |
|
|
06:04 | reservoir geophysics by the way? I that course every other spring in our |
|
|
06:10 | graduate program? Uh, I define as the use of surface and |
|
|
06:16 | surface, seismic and borehole geophysical data to the extent that we can to |
|
|
06:26 | reservoir with ology porosity pore, fluid . And you can see that how |
|
|
06:32 | physics ties directly in there, lateral in continuity. Volumetrics, pressures |
|
|
06:40 | internal architecture of the reservoir. Rock is useful and directly interpreting the results |
|
|
06:46 | establishing frameworks for the results or at understanding the changes in the data by |
|
|
06:53 | way. Uh, this process could part of exploration where you have little |
|
|
06:58 | no well controlled or development where you potentially lots of well control and so |
|
|
07:05 | more well control you have, the you use the well log data itself |
|
|
07:10 | calibrate, the less need you have physics concepts, but certainly when we |
|
|
07:18 | have little or no well logs to , what's going on. The only |
|
|
07:24 | we have to hang our hat on rock physics. These quotes are from |
|
|
07:33 | , Wayne Pennington, who's an engineering at michigan Tech University. Um Well |
|
|
07:42 | geoscience says I'm not sure exactly come think of it, I'm not sure |
|
|
07:46 | what is dean of? He was was chair of the Geoscience department at |
|
|
07:50 | time and I knew Wayne when he , where I first knew Wayne when |
|
|
07:56 | was a assistant professor at University of . And I was a graduate student |
|
|
08:02 | I took an earthquake seismology class from , which by the way was found |
|
|
08:06 | difficult. But I went into the industry and then he did it. |
|
|
08:11 | did as well because they paid a better. Then he was getting us |
|
|
08:16 | assistant professor. Uh But then he went back to academia has had a |
|
|
08:22 | successful career and he's uh he's very got into reservoir characterization. So these |
|
|
08:28 | two quotes I took from him and one quote will the geophysical technique being |
|
|
08:36 | . Be able to differentiate between the reservoir models sufficiently well to be worth |
|
|
08:42 | effort and cost, you know, fellow I've been associated with the past |
|
|
08:50 | dr Marlon Downey. He was president a P. G. I knew |
|
|
08:55 | first when he came as president of oil company. I was working for |
|
|
09:01 | I attended many of his meetings and a tremendous amount watching him. But |
|
|
09:08 | , we both joined though, you the same time as professors at University |
|
|
09:12 | Oklahoma and he was right down the . So he went from the president |
|
|
09:16 | this giant oil company to this guy the hall. So I had the |
|
|
09:21 | to learn a lot from him. one of his famous quotes is geology |
|
|
09:26 | a business geophysics is a business oil gas operations. I'm sorry but no |
|
|
09:33 | totally wrong, geology is the science is the science. Oil and gas |
|
|
09:40 | is a business. I'm sorry, the correct quote. In other words |
|
|
09:45 | scientists, we always want more We always want exact solutions and so |
|
|
09:52 | . But the point is uh we know, time is money, there's |
|
|
09:58 | , there's money. How much is data worth? What is the cost |
|
|
10:02 | analysis of acquiring additional data? Scientifically want more. But just because the |
|
|
10:09 | , we want more data doesn't mean the company will be profitable for the |
|
|
10:15 | to acquire that data. So you to make decisions when you're going to |
|
|
10:19 | big money like acquiring time lapse, data or drilling wells or acquiring three |
|
|
10:26 | . Data whatever you're doing. It's talking millions and millions of dollars to |
|
|
10:31 | it. You have to justify it justify it. You need to have |
|
|
10:36 | expectation of what the result is going be. You have to do what |
|
|
10:40 | called a feasibility study and that. how do I determine? Okay I |
|
|
10:46 | spend $20 million for a time lapse over 10 years and monitor this |
|
|
10:54 | What good is that going to do ? What is it going to tell |
|
|
10:59 | ? Um You know I was working an exploration ist when three D. |
|
|
11:07 | started becoming popular and three D. very expensive at the time relatively. |
|
|
11:14 | And we'd have a discovery. So have a field we would want to |
|
|
11:19 | and we go to the management and say okay we want to spend $2 |
|
|
11:25 | to acquire a three D. And management would ask the question, |
|
|
11:31 | many barrels of oil will that get ? And the wrong answer is well |
|
|
11:37 | I had the three D. I tell you I would be able to |
|
|
11:40 | you right. That doesn't cut You can't say spend millions of dollars |
|
|
11:45 | then I'll know what we have. right. That's not going to |
|
|
11:49 | You have to be able to you to be able to quantify what the |
|
|
11:54 | of acquiring that data is going to . How do you do it when |
|
|
11:57 | have minimal data to begin with? do you model, what's there? |
|
|
12:02 | do you model different situations and say the geology could be like this or |
|
|
12:10 | could be like that. The reservoir be here or it could be there |
|
|
12:14 | be connected. Maybe it's not You know could be losing reservoir quality |
|
|
12:19 | this direction or maybe not. How you know these things? Uh |
|
|
12:24 | you have acquired data to make those , but how do you know if |
|
|
12:29 | data is going to help you make distinction, you have to do what |
|
|
12:33 | called a feasibility study. So you to be able to say, |
|
|
12:40 | uh these are the possible outcomes. given the rock physics and seismic modeling |
|
|
12:46 | my knowledge of the seismic data I'll be able to differentiate between these |
|
|
12:52 | scenarios of what the reservoir looks So, um, the answer to |
|
|
13:00 | able to answer that question to do visibility study. You have to use |
|
|
13:05 | physics, rock physics of the reservoir and also rock physics of the layers |
|
|
13:12 | to the reservoir. And if everything working, you could do great |
|
|
13:20 | Like uh predicted the three dimensional distribution ferocity. This was a reservoir which |
|
|
13:27 | many, we could say flow units in many levels of high permeability, |
|
|
13:35 | are the sands. By the these are porosity, logs. |
|
|
13:39 | uh, the high porosity is to right. Low porosity is to the |
|
|
13:44 | . And you see, we've got zones that are particularly good thick and |
|
|
13:49 | porosity. We also have other zones that are impermeable. Their shells very |
|
|
13:56 | porosity. And then we have zones are of variable quality in between and |
|
|
14:04 | color behind it is very crudely predicted the seismic high porosity, which is |
|
|
14:13 | , low porosity, which is an intermediate porosity, which is |
|
|
14:19 | And so you could see um, know how things correlate here for the |
|
|
14:26 | part. You know when this layer example is showing up red at the |
|
|
14:31 | , it shows up red at the , it shows up right at the |
|
|
14:35 | and the logs. If I just at the logs, I would |
|
|
14:38 | well I have great flow continuity in . So, um, I |
|
|
14:44 | I should develop my field and place well such that I'll be able to |
|
|
14:49 | from here. For example, I'll able to drain everything down dip here |
|
|
14:54 | everything down dip here. Well, size makes tell me a different |
|
|
14:58 | The size makes telling me well this connected pretty well to that, but |
|
|
15:04 | connection to here is not that These sands may behave as separate |
|
|
15:11 | I may need a well in each these. Um, so, |
|
|
15:16 | apparently there seems to be a lot strata graphic complexity between these two |
|
|
15:22 | The well, logs alone. I tell you that. Maybe to get |
|
|
15:26 | stuff. Maybe I need a note well in there to get there. |
|
|
15:31 | , how do we get this seismic cube? It's a matter of calibrating |
|
|
15:36 | seismic data with the logs and understanding the seismic data will change as porosity |
|
|
15:44 | . So we see the changes in ferocity data. I mean the changes |
|
|
15:48 | the seismic data, we see, predict corresponding changes in the ferocity and |
|
|
15:54 | tie that back to the Prasit ease are known at the wells. We |
|
|
16:03 | uh to uh interpret seismic data in of directly seeing hydrocarbons. This is |
|
|
16:11 | case where we have amplitude variations related we think are related to hydrocarbons and |
|
|
16:17 | feel even more strongly about it because seems to be a flat spot |
|
|
16:22 | which is interpreted as a gas oil and a flat spot there. You |
|
|
16:28 | imagine there's a flat spot, there an oil water contact. In fact |
|
|
16:35 | with the color bar as it may more convincing as to what's going |
|
|
16:40 | But that's not enough. I these flat events, they could be |
|
|
16:44 | graphic, They could be multiples. , maybe you'd be more confident in |
|
|
16:49 | results if you could predict the amplitude and the magnitude the amplitudes of those |
|
|
16:55 | spots as I went from gas to and as I went from oil to |
|
|
17:01 | . If the change that I'm seeing the side work, the amplitudes I'm |
|
|
17:05 | at the seismic and how those amplitudes up dip in reservoir versus down to |
|
|
17:12 | that corresponds to what rock physics tells followed by seismic modeling, then I'm |
|
|
17:19 | confident that this is what I will . Here's an example from fred Hiltermann |
|
|
17:31 | there as well, that's a discovery is found hydrocarbons and in the |
|
|
17:37 | He's colored uh, brian field yellow, poor quality sands maybe thin |
|
|
17:45 | Shelly as blue shells is green and bearing sand has read these two and |
|
|
17:55 | looks like what we have is a configuration on top of salt. You |
|
|
18:01 | the lack of reflectivity in here. this is presumably salt and it looks |
|
|
18:07 | we're uh we've got traps on the of the salt down here which are |
|
|
18:14 | seismic responses indicative of hydro carpets. um, you know where I have |
|
|
18:21 | here in the log, I have here on the seismic and I go |
|
|
18:24 | dip and then I have read in trapping situation high on structure. Well |
|
|
18:30 | makes me feel good. That that's . Same thing here I have a |
|
|
18:34 | yellow in the log. I have on the seismic data. I go |
|
|
18:38 | dip. I have read could be and here I have hydrocarbons in the |
|
|
18:44 | and its threat. So um uh Is that difference is the way is |
|
|
18:52 | being read? The seismic being read that could that be caused by oil |
|
|
18:57 | example? And what's the probability that caused by oil? Uh is it |
|
|
19:03 | to be gas? Uh could be by little logic changes or there are |
|
|
19:08 | things that would produce that change in seismic response. Well, starting with |
|
|
19:13 | , well log we're pretty well constrained we could do some rock physics evaluations |
|
|
19:19 | that using equations. I could take brine out of this rock, put |
|
|
19:25 | in then do seismic modeling and see it gives me that response. So |
|
|
19:31 | certainly could give me more confidence in direct hydrocarbon indicators. This was an |
|
|
19:42 | I was pretty proud of around the around the turn of the the |
|
|
19:49 | Um my co office and I won paper in the leading edge for this |
|
|
19:56 | what it was was in the early of deep water prospecting. Um Well |
|
|
20:05 | border development, we didn't have a of experience drilling in these very unconsolidated |
|
|
20:13 | and but the practice at the time you have to have surface casing. |
|
|
20:19 | if you're going to develop a these were giant fields. Instead of |
|
|
20:25 | each well individually, they would draw wells from a platform on a |
|
|
20:33 | And what they would do is it be more efficient economically to put the |
|
|
20:40 | casing in for all the wells, finish that operation, then change the |
|
|
20:46 | , come back and drill the wells well individually down to the target. |
|
|
20:53 | the idea of the surface casing uh to um you know, maintain well |
|
|
21:00 | stability um in the where you have shallow plastic sediments. So this is |
|
|
21:07 | seismic data. And here where Pretty to the water bottom. This is |
|
|
21:12 | milliseconds here and the problem they suddenly at the Ursa field shall drill this |
|
|
21:23 | of surface casing and then they came to drill the other wells and they |
|
|
21:28 | that the surface casing had been buckled and sheared off. They lost |
|
|
21:34 | of the surf of the wells, shallow wells that had been drilled. |
|
|
21:39 | that was an economic disaster. And did it happen? Well again, |
|
|
21:44 | shallow sediments were very very plastic. could flow like a mudslide and they |
|
|
21:53 | in a very fragile uh meta stable , you could say, and disturbing |
|
|
22:00 | would cause them to fail. And essentially get a submarine landslide. And |
|
|
22:08 | so and and the zones that were susceptible to this was owns that had |
|
|
22:15 | high pore pressures. These were isolated pockets, shallow sands encased in shell |
|
|
22:24 | these sands developed very high pore pressures the sands to lose cohesion and flow |
|
|
22:32 | mud. So in our rock physics evaluating this stuff, we realized that |
|
|
22:41 | a brian field, sand would very pore pressure would have a much higher |
|
|
22:47 | . PBS ratio. Been a uh san that's normally pressured. So if |
|
|
22:55 | could find abnormal V. P. . S. Ratios in the seismic |
|
|
23:00 | , we could find these sands that prone to failure. And so we |
|
|
23:05 | this by simultaneously inverting p wave seismic and peter s. Seismic data acquired |
|
|
23:14 | ocean bottom seismometers and we came up a V. P. V. |
|
|
23:21 | . Attribute. Uh This plot is deviation from the normal the PBS |
|
|
23:28 | in other words, there's a compaction in the V. P. |
|
|
23:32 | S ratio. And so we're going be PBS as you bury, the |
|
|
23:38 | will tend to decrease At the very bottom. We had b. |
|
|
23:43 | v. s. ratios as high 10. And as you buried the |
|
|
23:48 | , the B. P. S ratio dropped as they became more |
|
|
23:52 | , more consolidated. And so here V. P. V. S |
|
|
23:57 | of about three would have been uh , an average V. P. |
|
|
24:02 | . S ratio. By the this was a well location here. |
|
|
24:08 | didn't use the well to do this . And what we plotted here is |
|
|
24:13 | deviation from the background V. V. S ratio. So blues |
|
|
24:18 | normally Lovie PBS ratios. Reds are high B. P. V. |
|
|
24:24 | ratios. Greens are normal B. ratios. These would be your |
|
|
24:32 | the blues are slightly brian field sands are slightly lower V. PBS and |
|
|
24:38 | shells. So these are your sands the reds are abnormally high V. |
|
|
24:45 | . V. S ratio. These the rocks with abnormally high pore |
|
|
24:51 | And so we predicted that at the location here, uh you have had |
|
|
24:59 | zone with abnormally high V. V. S ratios suggesting abnormally high |
|
|
25:04 | pressure and that is exactly where they what is called a shallow water flow |
|
|
25:11 | the well. So we're able to the occurrence of the shallow water |
|
|
25:16 | This was particularly bad because you can the formation is dipping there. So |
|
|
25:23 | you wind up with a very plastic on a slope. So of course |
|
|
25:29 | going to fail. So these are kinds of situations you want to |
|
|
25:34 | So maybe you drill around it, know Professor I have a question. |
|
|
25:41 | . Uh In my mind over pressure have a lower VP velocity. Uh |
|
|
25:50 | they have lower VP as they lose . Is like that critical porosity |
|
|
25:55 | right? You lose cohesion, you low VP. Right? So as |
|
|
26:00 | increase the poor pressure, you're pushing grains apart and lowest Vp. Yeah |
|
|
26:07 | what happens is it lowers V. more and so the V. |
|
|
26:13 | V. S ratio goes up. now the other point in my mind |
|
|
26:19 | that the V. S. Should insensitive to the poor fluid. I |
|
|
26:24 | to the whatever it's it's it's sensitive the module lists of the poor fluid |
|
|
26:33 | it's not insensitive to the poor Think about it. If I increase |
|
|
26:38 | fluid pressure enough I'm going to force grains apart as I push the grains |
|
|
26:44 | , the rock becomes less rigid. , yep. So I pushed I |
|
|
26:52 | it, you know it's the grains providing the Virginia is the contacts between |
|
|
26:57 | grains that's providing the rigidity. And that poor pressure is high enough that |
|
|
27:03 | the grains apart and you lose your . That causes the railway velocity to |
|
|
27:09 | down. Yeah and the V. . B. S ratio to go |
|
|
27:14 | . Got it. Thank you. okay. Well hopefully that's enough motivation |
|
|
27:25 | the fact that you need the glass class to graduate. Right? But |
|
|
27:30 | could do important things with rock And if you're if you wind up |
|
|
27:35 | an exploration ist in the petroleum industry will be using rock physics. So |
|
|
27:44 | it behooves you to to use it . Right? So anyway learn everything |
|
|
27:49 | can in this class. It will will help you in your career. |
|
|
27:54 | so now we're starting now that you're motivated now we'll just start with the |
|
|
28:01 | and I'm going to cover a few topics first because you know geology in |
|
|
28:10 | mind is the driver for everything If we if we if we didn't |
|
|
28:17 | geology we wouldn't be geophysicists right? be physicists. And geophysics is a |
|
|
28:24 | discipline from physics for a reason because the integration of geology and physics. |
|
|
28:31 | a little bit of geological knowledge goes very long way. And uh you |
|
|
28:37 | there are only so many equations in we could use and things are so |
|
|
28:44 | non unique and under determined that we all the geological constraint we can |
|
|
28:50 | And so if we uh if we at our problems from a geological point |
|
|
28:56 | view it will lead us to answers a physicist could never arrive at without |
|
|
29:01 | geological background. So I'm going to some geology up front. And so |
|
|
29:08 | is a very basic geological question. is the most common mineral in the |
|
|
29:17 | ? Chief mineral uh have one vote courts any other. Do you agree |
|
|
29:28 | that? His courts the most common ? Um I was going to say |
|
|
29:36 | , but I guess it's mineral. not sure this applicable. Well, |
|
|
29:40 | is a mineral, Clay is a . Um So let me give you |
|
|
29:45 | perspective, you guys are already coming this from a kind of a petroleum |
|
|
29:51 | because what I asked was the most mineral in the crust. Remember the |
|
|
29:56 | section is just a very thin All right. You've got a lot |
|
|
30:02 | metamorphic and igneous rocks underneath. So factoring that and think of a |
|
|
30:10 | . Right, So, uh, think of of assault. So now |
|
|
30:16 | going to ask the question again, is the most common mineral in the |
|
|
30:22 | ? Yeah. Depending oceanic plates or of fate could be uh, person |
|
|
30:29 | the granite. Those are rocks I'm for mineral for from show me across |
|
|
30:38 | themselves. Then we've been oceans and uh, cloud your place. The |
|
|
30:48 | , purity scenes add color and pyrrhic scenes, they had color, |
|
|
30:55 | project places a dominant component what color most granite? Think about a granite |
|
|
31:02 | where Yeah, actually pink. That's , That's potassium feldspar. So, |
|
|
31:13 | of course is not the most common in the crust feldspar is. |
|
|
31:18 | now I'm going to ask the what is the most common mineral in |
|
|
31:24 | rocks? And the answer is Right. So what happened? |
|
|
31:32 | sedimentary rocks come from igneous rocks Right. Igneous rocks are primarily |
|
|
31:42 | sentimentally rocks are primarily courts. What ? Russian patient position instead of |
|
|
31:56 | I'm going to say weathering. And so when you weather, what |
|
|
32:01 | ? You convert felt far too So courts play Are two of the |
|
|
32:12 | most common minerals and sedimentary rocks. is the third most common matter? |
|
|
32:23 | ? Yeah. Thinking about carbon and calcite. So those are the three |
|
|
32:28 | . So those are going to be important minerals for us in rock |
|
|
32:33 | Right. So we're going to be to a large extent on those |
|
|
32:39 | So why is felt far? you know, you find feldspar in |
|
|
32:48 | rocks, even some uh sand stones primarily fills for like very immature sand |
|
|
32:55 | . Arcos, is they the grains traveled far enough to weather very |
|
|
33:00 | Right. Um but the main differences fell far disintegrates at surface conditions fairly |
|
|
33:11 | . And uh this is an interesting to look at that. This is |
|
|
33:16 | . These are calculations based on chemical um, Assuming uh water rock interactions |
|
|
33:25 | water over p five And temperature 25°C is pretty, pretty good surface |
|
|
33:33 | Right. And look at and what half life is? It's like radioactive |
|
|
33:40 | life? It's the number of years would take to reduce the volume by |
|
|
33:46 | . Right? So for courts, uh putting it in water under these |
|
|
33:58 | , Half of it would remain after million years. But look at an |
|
|
34:04 | which is uh feldspar. It's a of the plastic clays felt scores. |
|
|
34:13 | I think it's the calcium one. will last only 100 in 100 |
|
|
34:18 | Half of it is gone. But you can see the other pills |
|
|
34:23 | us al bite um Maybe that sodium potassium feldspar uh they're almost an order |
|
|
34:32 | magnitude. Well, almost 1000 times faster decay than uh than courts. |
|
|
34:42 | , um that's the reason courts persist than the other rocks. And even |
|
|
34:52 | . Sometimes shells could be primarily Okay. Some more geological terms |
|
|
35:06 | Cleavage, Foley, ation layering, . You can see all of these |
|
|
35:17 | provide a essentially, maybe not layering are addressing a text. Kind of |
|
|
35:24 | layered banded type of texture, let's fine layering here. Thin layers, |
|
|
35:31 | on the order of centimeters where examinations be on the order of millimeters. |
|
|
35:39 | ? All of these factors will contribute anti Satrapi as we discussed. |
|
|
35:46 | let's uh let's make sure we understand each of these terms means. What |
|
|
35:53 | facility, anybody facility by the do you know the definition of a |
|
|
36:13 | ? What's the definition of a Organic? Pretty sure I would leave |
|
|
36:23 | organic at a shell can have high content. But it doesn't have to |
|
|
36:28 | a fine grained sedimentary rock. Plastic rock as opposed to a fine grained |
|
|
36:36 | . But it's more than just fine . If it's just a fine grained |
|
|
36:43 | , that's what the technical definition would a mud rock. It was very |
|
|
36:48 | grained. It would be a clay . If it was coarse grained it |
|
|
36:51 | be a silk stone. These are rocks. But what makes something a |
|
|
36:57 | ? Actually the definition is a fissile rock. So what we what is |
|
|
37:05 | . It's a tendency to part along planes. So a true shell, |
|
|
37:13 | though in the industry we tend to all fine grain facilitate plastic rocks, |
|
|
37:19 | though we tend to call them all . For example, the Monterey shell |
|
|
37:23 | California is a porcelain night. It's a shell. Uh But okay, |
|
|
37:30 | tend to call these shells a true shell is a parts along bedding |
|
|
37:38 | So that's what we mean by And that's a different concept in cleavage |
|
|
37:44 | is also partying. But we have cleavage and slate. Like cleavage |
|
|
37:51 | Uh So what are these? What mineral cleavage? I will say the |
|
|
38:04 | for murder. Yeah. And this really great tendency to break along planes |
|
|
38:14 | weakness in the crystal lattice. So that's mineral cleavage. And the |
|
|
38:19 | example of that is muscovite, It looks like a book, pages |
|
|
38:23 | a book. That's mineral cleavage. is slate like cleavage? Maybe you |
|
|
38:33 | are too young to remember blackboards now have white boards in my day, |
|
|
38:38 | had blackboards and we use chalk on blackboard slate is a metamor foes mud |
|
|
38:44 | , probably a shell metamorphose it's lost de positional betting and it develops fractures |
|
|
38:56 | very particular orientations with respect to the stresses. So that's the slate light |
|
|
39:07 | . What is Foley ation parallel arrangement certain minerals strains. That gives the |
|
|
39:16 | straight appearance. This is purely Uh That's a great, that was |
|
|
39:24 | if you had lived at that was , you nailed that. So uh |
|
|
39:32 | a strong affiliation, you might have shift, I don't know. Uh |
|
|
39:40 | anyway, assist you could actually, almost looks like facility, but it's |
|
|
39:46 | a metamorphic texture or in nice is get this banding. So uh but |
|
|
39:54 | ation tends to be less extreme then or facility. Especially in Nice. |
|
|
40:02 | the mineral banding that you get in . Is it tends to be gradation |
|
|
40:07 | and not a huge contrast in rock associated with the change of affiliation. |
|
|
40:15 | layering. We all know what that , right, you have different layers |
|
|
40:21 | different mythologies. And then nominations are , very fine grain layers. So |
|
|
40:29 | the order of millimeters. Now by way uh here is where geophysicists use |
|
|
40:37 | bad terminology when a a geophysicists call thin bedded uh huh. When a |
|
|
40:48 | says I have a thin bed, means I have a layer below seismic |
|
|
40:54 | . That means Below something on the of 50 ft. So to a |
|
|
41:01 | , 50 ft is a thin When a geologist refers to thin |
|
|
41:06 | he means less than a well logging resolution. So he means on the |
|
|
41:12 | of uh you know an inch or . Right, you're logging tool may |
|
|
41:18 | resolution of a foot or two. it didn't bedded zone would have many |
|
|
41:24 | layers on the order order of magnitude an inch. Um So geologists and |
|
|
41:34 | have a mismatch in terminology here. do be careful when you're crossing disciplines |
|
|
41:42 | misunderstanding can occur. Um Okay. then lamination is very very fine |
|
|
41:51 | Um Now what will all of these to geophysical properties in the case of |
|
|
42:00 | cleavage? If your minerals are aligned in a shell you have played |
|
|
42:06 | These are similar to muscovite clays are similar to Mika's um They're all what |
|
|
42:12 | call philo silicates there, they have like crystal lattices. Um So in |
|
|
42:23 | shell under pressure. Um Those clay tend to align. So the mineral |
|
|
42:33 | inherited in the grain shape which then producers. Yeah affects the seismic properties |
|
|
42:44 | of that alignment of the grains. , all of these of course will |
|
|
42:48 | the anti Satrapi. And they tend produce what we call and trans versus |
|
|
42:56 | or sometimes called transverse. Anti Satrapi a particular type of anti Satrapi, |
|
|
43:03 | is very common uh in our Okay, so I think we've already |
|
|
43:14 | ferocity but let's go ahead and do again. What is porosity for your |
|
|
43:22 | ? Because please void fraction. So it's the void volume divided by |
|
|
43:30 | total volume. And now that could expressed as a percent. So, |
|
|
43:38 | could say the porosity is 25% and I'm using percent, those are also |
|
|
43:45 | ferocity units. So 25 ferocity units 25%,, Which is .25 fraction. |
|
|
43:55 | so you'll see porosity expressed both It's usually obvious to know If you |
|
|
44:03 | to divide by 100 or not in rock physics equations, we will almost |
|
|
44:09 | use fractional porosity as opposed to present . Okay, so is there a |
|
|
44:16 | relationship between ferocity and geophysical properties? ferocity and velocity? Is that relationship |
|
|
44:32 | ? No, If it were I could tell you that I have |
|
|
44:37 | is 25% porosity. And so the must be, but 15,000 ft per |
|
|
44:48 | . Say uh but no, I say that if it's 25% ferocity, |
|
|
44:54 | could be anywhere, you know, a wide range, that's why we |
|
|
44:59 | the Royce bounce. Right? So is not a unique relationship between if |
|
|
45:08 | a unique relationship the Royce and avoid would be identical. All right. |
|
|
45:14 | what causes this spread at a particular ? This spread? Well, your |
|
|
45:20 | in composition, variations in fluid You have variations in texture, poor |
|
|
45:30 | , right. All these things cause degree of cement ation, degree of |
|
|
45:37 | . All these things caused you to a spread of values between the Royce |
|
|
45:42 | the voice mails just as we But on the other hand, we |
|
|
45:48 | have the widely widely equation. I , I can I can argue that |
|
|
45:51 | is a relation between velocity and Yes, that's the point. It's |
|
|
45:58 | relationship, but it's not a unique . It's a line between the Royce |
|
|
46:04 | boy bounds, which will work for a very specific circumstance and will not |
|
|
46:12 | in many other circumstances, but it's for us to realize. Yeah, |
|
|
46:19 | one of the important lessons in this . Okay, now, what if |
|
|
46:26 | kept composition constant? What if I environmental conditions constant? What if I |
|
|
46:33 | the poor fluid constant? What if only variable change changing is that fractional |
|
|
46:43 | of porosity? But I'm not saying saying anything about the way the ferocity |
|
|
46:48 | distributed. I'm not saying anything about shape of the ferocity. I'm just |
|
|
46:54 | everything else other than related to porosity constant. Do I now have a |
|
|
47:00 | relationship between porosity and velocity. I was hoping you'd say that because |
|
|
47:13 | answer is no. Yeah, I this is a trick question answer is |
|
|
47:23 | No. Because as the poor shape the type of ferocity changes, the |
|
|
47:30 | between velocity and ferocity changes. and that's another very important lesson from |
|
|
47:37 | course. So, if you want know the kinds of things that you |
|
|
47:41 | , I find important that will help determine the kinds of questions I'm going |
|
|
47:47 | ask on tests and so forth. . So, understanding how the shape |
|
|
47:52 | the forest affects velocity is very So therefore, now, you know |
|
|
48:00 | answer to the next question Does all affects seismic velocities in the same |
|
|
48:08 | No. Right. I think I you that answer. So, |
|
|
48:18 | let me let me ask you a question. Does all porosity affect density |
|
|
48:24 | the same way? No. Okay. For density, it doesn't |
|
|
48:36 | how the ferocity is distributed, it matter how it shapes, it doesn't |
|
|
48:41 | where it is in the Raqqa, long as it's there, it affects |
|
|
48:45 | density in exactly the same way. , so a fundamental difference between the |
|
|
48:53 | porosity affects density and the way ferocity velocity? If I tell you I |
|
|
49:01 | a pure limestone, it's all native , 2.71 g per cc is the |
|
|
49:07 | density for calcite. If I tell , I tell you the ferocity, |
|
|
49:12 | can tell me exactly what the density going to be using the mass balance |
|
|
49:20 | On the other hand, if I you I'm in calcite, it has |
|
|
49:25 | p wave velocity of six, km/s And I have a ferocity of |
|
|
49:36 | . I can't tell you what the is because just having the ferocity is |
|
|
49:42 | enough. I could have very flat crystalline ferocity. Micro porosity, that's |
|
|
49:51 | , that's very compressible. Or I have round historical buggy ferocity which is |
|
|
49:57 | to compress. Both types of ferocity density exactly the same way and they |
|
|
50:05 | a very different effect on the Okay, so what needs to be |
|
|
50:11 | to have a unique relationship between ferocity velocity is a constant poor shape. |
|
|
50:20 | if I tell you I have calcite And I've embedded 10% porosity. And |
|
|
50:31 | . The ferocity is all in what call a lip sides and these are |
|
|
50:37 | distributed ellipse sides with a aspect ratio a certain degree of flattening to these |
|
|
50:46 | sides. If I tell you the of planning of these ellipse sides, |
|
|
50:52 | all I need to know is the porosity and I could predict a unique |
|
|
50:58 | but I need to know the poor and the problem is pores are so |
|
|
51:03 | in shape and they're so irregularly It pours were all what we call |
|
|
51:12 | spheroid, for example that they were exactly the same shape. Uh then |
|
|
51:20 | physics would be easy. Okay, let's talk about the different types of |
|
|
51:30 | . We have lots of words to ferocity. What is connected porosity |
|
|
51:43 | Yeah, that's pretty obvious. But . In what way? When we |
|
|
51:48 | connected ferocity, we mean topological lee . That if you had a small |
|
|
51:56 | , if you were small enough in , if you could shrink yourself into |
|
|
52:00 | little submarine, you could find and could find a path from every, |
|
|
52:08 | one port to another. Those if you could find that path would |
|
|
52:14 | them to be connected porosity. And alternative to that is there is no |
|
|
52:21 | . And this would be disconnected So if I had an isolated spherical |
|
|
52:29 | , that would be disconnected if it intersect with any other force. |
|
|
52:35 | so the total ferocity is equal to connected plus the disconnected ferocity. |
|
|
52:44 | now, what is effective ferocity by way, in the petroleum industry, |
|
|
53:01 | is the most common ferocity that's What is effective ferocity? Um is |
|
|
53:22 | average frosty over a certain, over certain internet? No, that would |
|
|
53:29 | an average ferocity effective porosity. Is connected porosity such that the connections will |
|
|
53:40 | pore fluids to travel through them. over a time scale, uh, |
|
|
53:50 | a human time scale, right? a time scale of the production of |
|
|
53:54 | field. So effective porosity, has we call movable fluids in them. |
|
|
54:03 | could travel from one port to another another out to the well bore and |
|
|
54:08 | to the surface and could be So effective ferocity is ferocity that contains |
|
|
54:15 | that can be produced to be The porosity has to be connected, |
|
|
54:23 | not all connected porosity is effective. is that grow some other foods going |
|
|
54:33 | them like naked way? Thank you usual, special measures. And why |
|
|
54:43 | ? Why can't the fluids not flow them? Well, for a given |
|
|
54:50 | something is connected, whether something is or not, that term applies to |
|
|
54:55 | particular fluid, you could say. example, it could be connected. |
|
|
55:01 | could be effective for gas but not for a viscous oil. For |
|
|
55:07 | it has to do with the ability fluids to flow through and it has |
|
|
55:12 | do with the connections between the poor how small they are. If I |
|
|
55:17 | a very narrow corridor connecting one port another, gas or water may be |
|
|
55:24 | to flow through. Especially gas. is the most mobile water may be |
|
|
55:29 | to flow through. Light oil may able to flow through, but it |
|
|
55:33 | be a heavier oil can't flow through and it has to do with surface |
|
|
55:39 | has to do with capillary pressure. ? But the narrower a tube is |
|
|
55:44 | harder it is to flow fluids through . Okay, so you could have |
|
|
55:52 | that is topological lee connected. But poor thing, What we call the |
|
|
55:56 | throats, The connections between the maybe so small that hydrocarbons have a |
|
|
56:05 | time flowing through. Okay, so effective ferocity. Now be careful. |
|
|
56:12 | is not the same thing as total . And if you use, you |
|
|
56:19 | , engineers will frequently calculate effective And the way that's done is the |
|
|
56:27 | log analysis that is performed first calculates ferocity and then it reduces the total |
|
|
56:35 | often based on the amount of clay the rock to what is considered an |
|
|
56:42 | ferocity. But don't use effective ferocity geophysical calculations. All right. The |
|
|
56:51 | , for example, density seas, porosity, seismic waves respond to all |
|
|
57:00 | the ferocity, whether it's connected or . So for geophysical applications, be |
|
|
57:09 | in what you mean by in your of effective porosity, that maybe the |
|
|
57:14 | we want to predict. But don't the mistake of using effective ferocity in |
|
|
57:22 | or in understanding your seismic wave Okay, so what's trapped ferocity trap |
|
|
57:36 | is essentially total porosity minus the effective . It's that ferocity. The fluids |
|
|
57:44 | get out of that track ferocity might disconnected or it might be connected with |
|
|
57:51 | portraits. So, um, for reason or another, the fluids can't |
|
|
57:57 | out what is buggy porosity, frosty, uh, inbox and caves |
|
|
58:09 | land stones, dissolution. Yes. all of the above. Right. |
|
|
58:16 | these tend to be, uh, they're angular shape, but they're relatively |
|
|
58:23 | pores and they're more they're relatively Not smoothly, necessarily smoothly round, |
|
|
58:34 | they're not flat. Let's put it way. Okay, so and the |
|
|
58:41 | ferocity because these pores are large, a lot of the storage in a |
|
|
58:48 | , I'm sorry, not particular buggy because these pores are large, they |
|
|
58:53 | have high porosity but they have to connected to be productive. Right? |
|
|
59:01 | you need some kind of other type ferocity in addition to the bugging ferocity |
|
|
59:07 | join the bugs up to the point you can effectively flow oil through |
|
|
59:16 | So buggy porosity can often be So buggy ferocity provides good volume but |
|
|
59:24 | necessarily provide good permeability. Okay, ferocity is similar to bugging ferocity, |
|
|
59:31 | typically ferocity caused by bubbles. For , you find them in lava |
|
|
59:38 | So vesicular pores are typically very smooth very round. Okay, dissolution |
|
|
59:47 | you mentioned it before. What is solution porosity? It's caused by |
|
|
59:58 | dissolving grains or dissolving shell fragments or . Melodic ferocity is a type of |
|
|
60:09 | ferocity, but it's when you have complete shell that you are a large |
|
|
60:16 | portion of a shell that you could . It's from a shell fragment. |
|
|
60:21 | that would be moulded ferocity inter granular is porosity between grains. Similarly, |
|
|
60:31 | granuloma is porosity within grains. How that happen? Well, sometimes when |
|
|
60:38 | have small uh huh Or forums or or things like that? Sometimes you |
|
|
60:46 | ferocity that remains inside these things um crystalline porosity. This porosity between crystals |
|
|
60:59 | very often sedimentary rocks have re crystallized limestone and Dolomites and sometimes you get |
|
|
61:08 | between the crystals. You can also ferocity within the crystals. For |
|
|
61:14 | fracture porosity is probably caused by fracturing rock and you could have micro fractures |
|
|
61:22 | can be um within crystals. Micro generally refers to very fine grain poor |
|
|
61:34 | associated with plays. So between clays as opposed to um uh huh micro |
|
|
61:49 | themselves. So micro porosity any very four, what is bound water? |
|
|
62:03 | usually around the shale minerals. Its , it's the water connected to the |
|
|
62:10 | the shale grains to the green. ? So bound water is water associated |
|
|
62:17 | plays uh it could be trapped in porosity or it could in fact be |
|
|
62:25 | within the crystal lattice of what we swelling clays. Okay, primary porosity |
|
|
62:32 | ferocity inherited from the time of Secondary porosity is porosity that was produced |
|
|
62:40 | dia genesis. So for example dissolution would be a type of secondary |
|
|
62:48 | If the inter crystalline ferocity is due re crystallization, that would also be |
|
|
62:53 | type of secondary porosity fracture porosity and porosity is often called secondary porosity now |
|
|
63:05 | have different kinds of ferocity. Any on how these different types of ferocity |
|
|
63:14 | seismic velocities for example remember they all density in exactly the same way. |
|
|
63:20 | doesn't matter which of these they are long as they are boy space filled |
|
|
63:26 | fluids, then they affect the density the same way. Um So let's |
|
|
63:35 | through this list and think about the on geophysical properties um connected without seismic |
|
|
63:43 | . Don't care if the pores are or not. Typically at higher |
|
|
63:48 | That may be an important may be . Total porosity. Yes, the |
|
|
63:53 | waves see them of course, it different ferocity to different different degrees, |
|
|
64:00 | ferocity. Again, the seismic waves care if the pores are connected or |
|
|
64:07 | effective porosity. Well, the seismic again, don't care if petroleum fluids |
|
|
64:15 | pass through the rock or not. track porosity, similar arguments, buggy |
|
|
64:24 | and particular ferocity also often usually dissolution . These tend to be pretty |
|
|
64:33 | Uh huh. When we talk about shape of Iraq, we talk about |
|
|
64:38 | aspect ratio, that's the ratio of minor access to the major axis. |
|
|
64:45 | of these tend to have high aspect , buggy the secular dissolution ferocity and |
|
|
64:52 | they have high aspect ratios, they strong pores. Um it's hard to |
|
|
65:00 | around poor. It's much easier to flat course, which brings us to |
|
|
65:06 | ferocity, Mobic porosity can be round example, it's a small round shell |
|
|
65:15 | dissolved or it could be flat if a shell fragment. So multiple atrocity |
|
|
65:22 | can go either way in terms of it affects seismic ways inter granular |
|
|
65:30 | Well this encompasses different kinds of pore . There are the pore spaces between |
|
|
65:44 | which tend to be relatively large void but there are also the void spaces |
|
|
65:50 | the vicinity of grain contacts which tend be relatively flat Uh effectively into granular |
|
|
65:59 | acts like it has an aspect ratio the order of .1. So it's |
|
|
66:05 | compressible than round forests, which are closer to one in an aspect |
|
|
66:11 | An inter granular ferocity tends to act not quite as compressible as fracture |
|
|
66:21 | but somewhere in between fracture porosity are lowest aspect ratios, fractures are long |
|
|
66:31 | flat and are very compressible. Macro may be few and far between, |
|
|
66:39 | microfractures may be distributed throughout the rock therefore may have a more significant effect |
|
|
66:47 | the velocity bound water is connected to volume. And often in our |
|
|
66:56 | we will incorporate the bound water properties the shell property. So if I |
|
|
67:04 | and a light grain and I like has pretty similar mechanical properties to |
|
|
67:12 | which is relatively in compressible but typically our calculations we treat clays like they're |
|
|
67:21 | compressible. We treat the claim mineral like it's very compressible and that's because |
|
|
67:28 | incorporate the bound water with the mineral . Okay, by the way, |
|
|
67:38 | were definitions there in there. In notes. Okay, so here we |
|
|
67:49 | thin sections of a number of different rocks. And uh the thin |
|
|
67:57 | the ferocity is embedded with blue So the blue here is not |
|
|
68:06 | it's the epoxy, but that's the . And you can see we have |
|
|
68:11 | variety of different uh poor shapes. pores are very irregular. In some |
|
|
68:18 | , in other cases you can almost them like number F. You could |
|
|
68:23 | these pores as a lip sides. Sometimes their their roundish smooth with smooth |
|
|
68:31 | . Sometimes they have very sharp Um What about which of these uh |
|
|
68:39 | have the highest permeability, would you ? Mhm. Age. Yeah, |
|
|
68:51 | again, you know, with the , there is tough, you |
|
|
68:56 | maybe those connections are too small to flow through effectively. But assuming that |
|
|
69:05 | , you do have an interconnected poor here, so assuming the poor throat |
|
|
69:11 | wide enough that the oil can actually through and that would be a good |
|
|
69:18 | . You see an F. We a situation or G. Is |
|
|
69:21 | That's an example where we have beautiful pores, uh but it's hard to |
|
|
69:30 | connections between those ports. Right? um you know, F and |
|
|
69:36 | There's a lot of storage capacity in big pores, but those big pores |
|
|
69:44 | to be connected in order for that , what's stored in those forests to |
|
|
69:50 | produced. Okay, so some ferocity express total porosity as the sum of |
|
|
70:02 | other ferocity ease In two different Well, I'll make it easy. |
|
|
70:10 | porosity equals connected plus disconnected porosity in primary plus secondary porosity is equal to |
|
|
70:18 | . Plus trap ferocity uh Which poor be more compressible. A flat poor |
|
|
70:25 | a spherical poor of the same volume . Yes. And please don't come |
|
|
70:34 | of this class without knowing this. is very important. We'll come back |
|
|
70:39 | this again and again and again to to understand velocity dependence on ferocity. |
|
|
70:47 | flat pores are easy to compress. pores are hard to compress. This |
|
|
70:54 | why we use arches in architecture. fact the name architecture, the word |
|
|
70:59 | comes from the term arch. Why we use arches in architecture? Because |
|
|
71:06 | are strong and arches are hard to . Which ferocity then will affect velocity |
|
|
71:17 | per unit volume of ferocity fracture porosity buggy ferocity reflection. Yes. So |
|
|
71:32 | could have a low fracture porosity that me the same velocity as a high |
|
|
71:39 | velocity, High buggy ferocity. what is clay? Mm Who is |
|
|
71:57 | funerals? There are such things as minerals? Yes. Is that the |
|
|
72:04 | way I choosed? Yes, So there are two meanings for |
|
|
72:15 | Clay is A particle less than .002 . That's pretty small. Um and |
|
|
72:27 | size fraction is often dominated by clay . Clay minerals are primarily small. |
|
|
72:36 | break very easily because there are sheets so they're not very very strong and |
|
|
72:42 | could easily break. So um the size fraction is often but not always |
|
|
72:51 | by clay minerals. You can get lot of very fine grained courts to |
|
|
72:55 | fact sometimes you have shells that the mineral is courts in the shell. |
|
|
73:06 | . Some more terms that we're going use. We might as well define |
|
|
73:11 | . What is gas? We've been about gas. Does anybody know what |
|
|
73:34 | is? Oh also it goes the myself. Uh fruit freely woman particular |
|
|
73:48 | motion of we need to make a rapid motion. Good. That's a |
|
|
73:59 | . Um So gas is a fluid the particles move independently with no orderly |
|
|
74:10 | . So then how does that differ a liquid? What is how is |
|
|
74:14 | liquid different from the gas in The topic? Als competitive emotion and |
|
|
74:25 | if possible. Okay, so the move more slowly. Um They're also |
|
|
74:37 | together and they do have some orderly . For example, there's surface |
|
|
74:46 | there's laminar flow and things like So there is some order to the |
|
|
74:52 | of molecules. And so both of are fluids. What does uh So |
|
|
74:59 | does that mean? Why are they ? Well, the both glucose, |
|
|
75:07 | almost there will fix shit. Well that's that's you got it. |
|
|
75:18 | They have no resistance to change change shape. They have zero rigidity as |
|
|
75:23 | consequence. They flow now by the , a liquids are often described |
|
|
75:33 | engineered by engineers as being in The fluids are in compressible in that |
|
|
75:43 | , that doesn't mean that they have low, have a high bulb |
|
|
75:49 | Is right when, when people say fluid is in compressible, that means |
|
|
75:55 | they're unconfined, you can't compress they'll squirt away, will flow |
|
|
76:02 | However, if you could contain the then you could compress it very |
|
|
76:09 | So, in a poor fluids are compressible. Um If there is no |
|
|
76:15 | for them to squirt out of the um Now in a porous permeable |
|
|
76:23 | you might think that the pores are to the fluids are free to squirt |
|
|
76:28 | of the rock. But remember other are being compressed as well. |
|
|
76:34 | So in essential, there's no place the fluids to go. There being |
|
|
76:40 | . Uh nearby pores are being Now, sometimes, if you have |
|
|
76:45 | is a different shape as you compress rock. Some pores will open up |
|
|
76:51 | some pores will close. Also, parts of the wave front you have |
|
|
76:57 | the waves propagating parts of the rock the stretch. Parts of the rocks |
|
|
77:01 | the squeeze and fluids then will flow one part of the rock to another |
|
|
77:07 | of Iraq. Um but if they combined, confined, if they were |
|
|
77:14 | a disconnected poor or a trap they would have no choice but to |
|
|
77:22 | the compression. Okay then what's next on the spectrum is a solid, |
|
|
77:30 | is the solid? Where molecules, , we're molecules um are connected closer |
|
|
77:42 | closer together and it has a resistance this change of shape, yep, |
|
|
77:48 | it. Now the molecules will still but they won't move very be able |
|
|
77:53 | move very far. Okay, now the difference between a crystalline solid and |
|
|
77:58 | non crystalline solid? Yes, so solid, we have a crystal lattice |
|
|
78:14 | in a non crystalline solid, there not an orderly arrangement and and so |
|
|
78:22 | as a glass. Okay. And already defined the term rock. |
|
|
78:34 | Mhm. Well, maybe I shouldn't asking you guys, but I'll ask |
|
|
78:39 | since he's objective. What time is class supposed to end? Oh |
|
|
78:48 | Okay, so we've got a few minutes that gives us time to discuss |
|
|
78:56 | scales of measurement encountered in rock And so 1st I want to define |
|
|
79:09 | terms like homo genius, homo genius the property is the same, every |
|
|
79:19 | . So no matter where in the , I measure its ferocity is the |
|
|
79:23 | or I measure its velocity. It's same. Every place the same. |
|
|
79:30 | means the property varies as a function position. However, whether you're homogeneous |
|
|
79:38 | heterogeneous, depends on the scale of . For example, consider what we |
|
|
79:44 | consider homogeneous sandstone or its ferocity is same. Yeah, and its velocity |
|
|
79:51 | the same, no matter where I within this formation, it's all the |
|
|
79:58 | . Well, if I were able make the measurement at a very fine |
|
|
80:03 | , if I were to go into four space and measure the velocity, |
|
|
80:06 | would measure the velocity of fluid. if I went into a grain I |
|
|
80:10 | measure the velocity of the grain. if I had a mixture of different |
|
|
80:14 | grains, different grains would have different . So on a microscopic scale it's |
|
|
80:21 | but macroscopic li it's homo genius. we will often, when we stay |
|
|
80:30 | a genius, we often mean homo at the scale of the measurement, |
|
|
80:36 | though it may be heading Virginia's at finer scale. And then we already |
|
|
80:43 | about an ice octopi. So that the property varies with direction. Um |
|
|
80:52 | . So if I'm at a point I'm measuring ferocity, it doesn't matter |
|
|
81:00 | direction I measure the prostate front. could I could be in a thin |
|
|
81:04 | . I could point count from the to the right or the rights of |
|
|
81:07 | left. I still get the same right. So and so porosity is |
|
|
81:15 | anti psychotropic but we've already seen that is if I'm going across the foley |
|
|
81:23 | , I have a slower velocity and if I'm parallel to the layering of |
|
|
81:27 | fall foliage nation or the dominant a fracture set etcetera. So what |
|
|
81:37 | permeability. Its permeability. Ic tropic anisotropy turns out current ability is usually |
|
|
81:51 | psychotropic. The vertical permeability is usually lot lower than the horizontal permeability. |
|
|
82:04 | , so different scales of measurement. we're gonna so we're going to collect |
|
|
82:12 | at all these different scales and we're to try to relate the measurements at |
|
|
82:18 | scale to the measurement and another So I can make measurements on core |
|
|
82:24 | . So that's the plug is on order of an inch or so. |
|
|
82:30 | core measurements often flow properties are measured whole core. We have some velocity |
|
|
82:38 | on Hulk or these are usually on order of a couple of feet foot |
|
|
82:42 | ft. Well logs the resolution of logs Um tends to be on the |
|
|
82:50 | of two ft. We have some resolution logs maybe resolution. Well for |
|
|
82:56 | a formation micro scanner can see So it's measuring resistive itty at a |
|
|
83:03 | fine scale. Um And you have sonic logs that have resident or or |
|
|
83:10 | itty logs that maybe on the order 10 ft resolution. Most sonic logs |
|
|
83:15 | a resolution of about two ft density about a foot and a half. |
|
|
83:23 | we have borehole geophysics resolution on the of tens of feet. And then |
|
|
83:28 | have surface Seismic data resolution on the of 50 ft, 100 ft. |
|
|
83:37 | different measurements at different resolution by the . What is, what is heterogeneous |
|
|
83:42 | one scale may be seen as homogeneous another scale. Now, think about |
|
|
83:55 | these are all acoustic measurements, think about the wavelengths. Think about |
|
|
84:00 | volume of rock that is being So in corporate plugged, you have |
|
|
84:06 | short wavelengths. Uh wavelengths, fractions an inch. Surface seismic data, |
|
|
84:15 | know, on the order of 50 ft say could be worse. Could |
|
|
84:21 | better. Could be worse. Um we expect those measurements to be the |
|
|
84:31 | ? Um Well, first of there's a sampling difference, right? |
|
|
84:36 | sampling a very small piece of rock sampling very large piece of rock. |
|
|
84:46 | the properties are average differently. Um is dispersion. So there are sampling |
|
|
84:58 | , there's also the frequency dependence of velocity. To make measurements on core |
|
|
85:04 | plugs, we need ultrasonic frequencies. have to be at frequencies such that |
|
|
85:09 | geometry of the experiment doesn't affect the anymore. So our wavelengths have to |
|
|
85:15 | a lot shorter than the sample Otherwise, the sample geometry then affects |
|
|
85:21 | measurement. We don't want that. in a porous rock, you must |
|
|
85:35 | dispersion in a well, since we're not going to cover attenuation, I'll |
|
|
85:44 | a few words about it. if I make measurements on the |
|
|
85:50 | geophysical, if I propagate seismic waves the moon, my attenuation is very |
|
|
85:59 | . I make the same type of in the same time type of material |
|
|
86:04 | the surface of the earth and I have very high attenuation. The difference |
|
|
86:09 | the moon is completely dry and the is moist. The presence of water |
|
|
86:16 | the primary factor affecting attenuation in the . You may continue in continuation measurements |
|
|
86:24 | dry rocks. You have low You make the same measurement on a |
|
|
86:31 | saturated rock or partially saturated rock. you have very high insinuations. So |
|
|
86:39 | essentially to contributions to attenuation. There's the way, what is attenuation, |
|
|
86:49 | I'm talking about it. We haven't it. What is attenuation? |
|
|
86:54 | we want to between Yeah. The of what amplitude? Okay. Loss |
|
|
87:03 | amplitude as the way propagates. Why is it losing apathy? Like |
|
|
87:11 | said earlier on you to water? there's Okay, but you skip this |
|
|
87:19 | . That Okay. Yeah. I , I'll come back. You |
|
|
87:23 | I'll agree with you that water is big factor. But what is |
|
|
87:28 | you know, if we were losing , what else are we losing? |
|
|
87:35 | we're losing energy, aren't we? , energy is not created or |
|
|
87:40 | Right? So we're not. The is not going away. It's being |
|
|
87:46 | as the wave propagates. What's it converted from? And to So I've |
|
|
87:57 | I've always learned is transformed into heat uh liam Thompson lecture where we talked |
|
|
88:05 | fluid squirting. Uh The fluid squirting has to has to do a generation |
|
|
88:14 | heat. I'll come back to that a second. Okay, in elastic |
|
|
88:21 | . you know, as opposed to things like that. But actual absorption |
|
|
88:29 | when we're converting from mechanical energy to energy as the way it propagates. |
|
|
88:36 | why do we generate heat? Why the waves propagating? Why are we |
|
|
88:43 | heat? And it transforms into kinetic energy of the fluids? Uh |
|
|
89:00 | I mean it's just the friction. guess that the fraction you got it |
|
|
89:05 | your hands together, they get Okay, So it's what we call |
|
|
89:11 | friction as the way propagates through the . Were deforming the rock and things |
|
|
89:20 | rubbing against each other, Right? what's causing the attenuation now. So |
|
|
89:26 | things could be rubbing against each grains could be rubbing against grains. |
|
|
89:32 | call that solid solid friction. But more important, his fluids rubbing against |
|
|
89:41 | , flu is rubbing against solids, fluid, solid friction. Now, |
|
|
89:47 | I squirt fluids around the fluid that's going to cause a lot of |
|
|
89:55 | , isn't it? Yeah, So that's what uh there are 22 types |
|
|
90:04 | fluid flow in in Iraq as a it propagates through that is what we |
|
|
90:11 | slotting losses, slashing is inertial as wave is propagating through. The solid |
|
|
90:20 | is slightly out of phase with the , right? So I moved the |
|
|
90:26 | frame and the fluids move differently. like walking with a pail of |
|
|
90:32 | right? The pale has a certain . The fluids have a different |
|
|
90:37 | right? Um Those are sloshing losses in Iraq we have pores of different |
|
|
90:46 | . So if we're opening up one and squeeze in another, poor, |
|
|
90:50 | could squirt fluid from one pour into . So both those types of fluid |
|
|
91:00 | rub against the solid, generate heat cause attenuation and fundamental laws of |
|
|
91:14 | The Cramers. Krunic relations. If have frequency dependent attenuation, I have |
|
|
91:25 | by the way. Attenuation is measured the energy loss per cycle of |
|
|
91:33 | If I have a similar amount of loss for every cycle of propagation in |
|
|
91:38 | frequencies, I'm stretching and squeezing the very rapidly at low frequencies. I'm |
|
|
91:45 | it slower. And so I have cycles of deformation at high frequencies. |
|
|
91:53 | I have more generation of heat. the attenuation itself becomes frequency dependent and |
|
|
92:03 | necessary consequence of that. Is that are frequency dependent. So, if |
|
|
92:09 | have insinuation, I have dispersion. I make a measurement at seismic |
|
|
92:15 | I have less cycles of propagation than I make a measurement over the same |
|
|
92:20 | of rock and ultrasonic frequencies. So should expect my velocities to be |
|
|
92:31 | Okay, well, I don't want start a new topic. So, |
|
|
92:34 | there any questions then? All You'll make me very happy if tomorrow |
|
|
92:43 | you have questions, that means you've about things a little bit more. |
|
|
92:47 | puts me in a very good which makes everybody happy. I |
|
|
92:52 | So do try to start try to with questions in the morning. |
|
|
92:59 | so I will, I will, not sure when I will be able |
|
|
93:05 | get the downloaded um, uh, . You probably don't want to look |
|
|
93:10 | it tonight anyway, so probably sometime we'll get these on on blackboard and |
|
|
93:19 | you'll be able to spend your sunday to all this stuff again. |
|
|
93:26 | So that's it. And we'll see tomorrow at 8:30 professor. Quick |
|
|
93:33 | Uh, would you prefer me to in caucus tomorrow or or if it's |
|
|
93:40 | with you can continue attending all up the exam. I mean, I |
|
|
93:45 | no preference at all, but you have to be there face to face |
|
|
93:50 | the example. Sure. Okay. thank you very much. All |
|
|
93:58 | |
|
