00:16 | Mhm. Yeah. Yeah. I think we went through the first |
|
|
00:41 | of slides on this lecture and, , basically appraisal is what we do |
|
|
00:55 | we discover something. You know, drill an exploration. Well, |
|
|
01:00 | uh the discovery, well, is exploration. Well, there could even |
|
|
01:04 | a test question on something so but uh there has been in the |
|
|
01:11 | anyway. So, um, you , when we, uh we |
|
|
01:17 | and we, we're trying to find viable prospect, you know, we |
|
|
01:22 | it out. We, they use blob map to try to figure out |
|
|
01:25 | what the reserves are, whether it's even trying to find something there. |
|
|
01:29 | risk it against uh a lot of elements of a play and, or |
|
|
01:36 | a reservoir, excuse me, a petroleum system. And, uh, |
|
|
01:43 | then, uh, and then that the amount of money that you could |
|
|
01:47 | and they have, uh we'll talk uh piece of tens and piece of |
|
|
01:52 | . In other words, what's the of hitting something? Um, getting |
|
|
01:57 | smallest thing always has the highest probability because we think of these things as |
|
|
02:05 | something that we hope is this but maybe it could be that |
|
|
02:09 | that kind of thing. Uh I have a real problem with the, |
|
|
02:16 | way we tend to do risk. , there's some more complicated risk algorithms |
|
|
02:21 | take a lot of these uh uh quite deterministic variables that are really important |
|
|
02:29 | , in terms of whether or not might or might not find oil and |
|
|
02:33 | . But nevertheless, we won't have to get into all that. Um |
|
|
02:39 | We barely have time to talk about probability, much, much less uh |
|
|
02:45 | more uh complex and uh um the, some of the statistics and |
|
|
02:53 | uh algorithms can be anyway. Um of the things uh that I always |
|
|
03:00 | to point out is that um almost a um a banker is gonna under |
|
|
03:10 | a field and these are some examples uh and I've worked on all of |
|
|
03:17 | things and other times they're over, appraised and of course, exploration is |
|
|
03:25 | over appraise things because they want to it drilled because that's their object. |
|
|
03:30 | they get it approved to be they move on to another project and |
|
|
03:33 | handed off to somebody else. And it fails, it doesn't matter, |
|
|
03:37 | got it approved. So it happens lot like that. Um I was |
|
|
03:43 | development. So quite often I picked things uh of both of these |
|
|
03:48 | In fact, uh I worked on field and I worked on that field |
|
|
03:51 | South Barcelo on 28th. And there's of examples in your book as |
|
|
03:58 | OK. So the main point, we get to this point is uh |
|
|
04:01 | trap volume and we're trying to map the reservoir in fairly uh close detail |
|
|
04:11 | we're trying to appraise it. Um more we drill obviously, and I've |
|
|
04:16 | you this before, the more we , the more we know, the |
|
|
04:19 | we know, the more we have update things. Um If you're handed |
|
|
04:25 | , well, you can't say I know how to map one. |
|
|
04:29 | uh you have to map one. , the data that you have from |
|
|
04:33 | well, and try to make geological of it. And you may have |
|
|
04:38 | seismic data and, and we were at some uh typical things where we |
|
|
04:42 | 3d seismic two D seismic, we something that was like a faces change |
|
|
04:47 | could limit uh the size of a and that sort of thing. So |
|
|
04:50 | are the kinds of things we're looking . We're also looking for these things |
|
|
04:54 | called barriers. And uh when we into more complex reservoirs, we worry |
|
|
05:01 | things like baffles. In other there may be flow going through this |
|
|
05:06 | , but there may be a baffle that cuts across the field like a |
|
|
05:12 | plane and it would reduce flow in direction. OK. But it might |
|
|
05:18 | reduce flow in that direction. So an isotropy to uh rates of flow |
|
|
05:23 | a heterogeneity in it. Uh And , so we look at all these |
|
|
05:29 | properties and we try to, to look at them reservoir, well, |
|
|
05:33 | really good reservoir of course, is to have good porosity and good |
|
|
05:39 | Um anything less than uh a really reservoir which you know, might be |
|
|
05:45 | over 20% porosity and uh say, you know, 100 100 millis or |
|
|
05:54 | and permeability is, is probably gonna something that's a little bit less than |
|
|
05:59 | good. Um But then again, reservoir characterization is big down here. |
|
|
06:04 | is talking about uh you know, have these general uh attributes of, |
|
|
06:10 | a chunk of rock like porosity and . But, but what becomes important |
|
|
06:18 | what is the flow uh potential in direction? In other words, what's |
|
|
06:21 | ferocity per excuse me, permeability, South? What's the permeability East West |
|
|
06:27 | if it happens to be tilted and realize it was a north and |
|
|
06:30 | Um in what direction can we get best flow and produce oil and |
|
|
06:35 | And then of course, in the , eventually, we might uh be |
|
|
06:38 | to use that information for water flooding or any other type of sweeping |
|
|
06:47 | OK. So, uh OK, question there should be, where are |
|
|
06:54 | thin clients and clients? These are of the things we look for, |
|
|
06:56 | are the faults, where are the contacts? One of the uh things |
|
|
07:01 | faults that's really important is usually we major faults that may become major |
|
|
07:07 | And uh maybe at some time in history of the reservoirs, uh if |
|
|
07:11 | have multiple reservoirs, it might have a, a conduit. But uh |
|
|
07:15 | looked for major faults to kind of out the main trapping configuration. But |
|
|
07:21 | within that, we're gonna have lots other smaller faults that kind of compartmentalize |
|
|
07:27 | the total reservoir package that we And uh I think it might be |
|
|
07:35 | I just see this, for that mhm I get a lot out |
|
|
07:44 | this little acreage. We may have , a major bind uh bounding fault |
|
|
07:50 | here and there may be a fault . We kind of goes all the |
|
|
07:55 | down the play fairway since you already what a play fairway is. I |
|
|
07:58 | about it a lot. But uh know, we drove out here and |
|
|
08:02 | think we have like this, something that and uh but then we gotta |
|
|
08:08 | minor faults. It might come in this and it makes the prize a |
|
|
08:14 | bit smaller for each, each And uh sometimes we need three wells |
|
|
08:20 | something that's big. So it's not problem, but sometimes there might be |
|
|
08:24 | fault like this and maybe another one that one coming over here like |
|
|
08:29 | And uh this might not be a , but it might be a baffle |
|
|
08:33 | flow you to put the well in area. So that's why we look |
|
|
08:37 | the minor faults is to try to out the um configuration and the geometry |
|
|
08:44 | the compartments. And uh you can lots and lots of compartments and we'll |
|
|
08:50 | to that in a little while. uh but this, this again, |
|
|
08:56 | where are all these things? Where the pinch outs? Where is my |
|
|
09:00 | ? All the very important things? a diagram uh out of your |
|
|
09:06 | Um Here it shows you that you've some kind of closure over here. |
|
|
09:10 | do we know because this is uh These are all minuses instead of |
|
|
09:16 | . This is supposed to be sub so they haven't put the minus on |
|
|
09:20 | , but it would be minus. so 1300 it's gonna be deep deeper |
|
|
09:23 | 1000 that looks like a nice four closure there. And um and they're |
|
|
09:30 | of putting here's the arrow in this , that one, that one, |
|
|
09:33 | one. And uh so you have in, in all directions four way |
|
|
09:39 | and uh and then you come over , there's nothing in here. This |
|
|
09:43 | a saddle, but then it looks we could have some structures over here |
|
|
09:48 | over here. What do we Uh We have a high but we |
|
|
09:54 | have any closure on that high the it's mapped. And again, if |
|
|
09:59 | don't have the data, you have use your geological imagination to kind of |
|
|
10:04 | out whether you have a situation like like that or like that. I |
|
|
10:09 | grow a well in the middle of and in the middle of that and |
|
|
10:14 | know what's going on in the realm either this. So it's really uh |
|
|
10:19 | uh often that we have some crude D seismic to help us see where |
|
|
10:24 | closure might be. OK. So , it's all about the limits and |
|
|
10:32 | keep repeating the same words over and again. But that's because each one |
|
|
10:36 | them remains a detail. Even uh closer we get in, the more |
|
|
10:42 | it gets. And uh it has lot to do with our economic decisions |
|
|
10:46 | we make down the road depending on we have compartments or not. Go |
|
|
10:52 | . Do you think that we can open is planes forever? But you |
|
|
10:57 | grow it some way. Uh but you could have one for a |
|
|
11:02 | distance. Yeah, I don't think would have one forever. Uh Also |
|
|
11:07 | sometimes you have um um the whole incline itself is dipping like this and |
|
|
11:18 | here it may be the closure and there there is no closure till it |
|
|
11:21 | something and conformity or something. And it's, it uh it's still not |
|
|
11:25 | be a, a trap. If happens to be a sandstone on top |
|
|
11:29 | that and conformity, there's all sorts uh things. And um I think |
|
|
11:35 | kind of why they, in this , they use uh very simple |
|
|
11:39 | But uh at the same time, conveys a lot of information, I |
|
|
11:44 | . And so um here's one, like we've been drawing and looking at |
|
|
11:49 | we were uh looking at the risk uh which included the top seal. |
|
|
11:57 | here's one um uh that has four closure to hear. Uh if, |
|
|
12:04 | this closure is being map based, know, if, for some |
|
|
12:09 | you know that there's closure here based well, data, you can project |
|
|
12:14 | out here. But if you have , then you would know it was |
|
|
12:18 | . And if I do this, get rhythm with it and maybe if |
|
|
12:23 | played some music, it would work . OK. So, uh |
|
|
12:28 | there's these spill points and we kind talked about that and we looked at |
|
|
12:31 | nice things. One of the things we try to figure out really quickly |
|
|
12:36 | that container obviously has sides. Four closure is really easy. It's uh |
|
|
12:41 | , that's pretty easy closure on And uh but there's one on their |
|
|
12:47 | and that is how is, what's bottom of that uh of that |
|
|
12:53 | And so one of the first things wanna do is look for the oil |
|
|
12:57 | contact. So when we're mapping out of these fields, we don't want |
|
|
13:02 | just guess that it's an average of number of feet of reservoir pick. |
|
|
13:08 | wouldn't really know. OK. At top of it, presumably, you |
|
|
13:13 | know where the bottom of it And we also know, you've also |
|
|
13:17 | that the deeper that bottom goes, higher that column gets, the stronger |
|
|
13:22 | seal has to be to keep, the force of buoyancy from uh going |
|
|
13:27 | a membrane seal or even sometimes fracturing seal. Ok. And here, |
|
|
13:34 | , here's, well, one, , well, two. And, |
|
|
13:43 | , you know, if, if really thought this was the way it |
|
|
13:45 | mapped, I would seriously ask someone drill it there first, not way |
|
|
13:52 | here out in the woods. You , you wanna, you wanna make |
|
|
13:55 | you find the prize first. but a lot of management is always |
|
|
14:03 | to get the size with the Well, and, and I, |
|
|
14:05 | I told you in, um, the nineties and late eighties, early |
|
|
14:12 | , I worked on an area where wheel wells were trying to do that |
|
|
14:16 | we actually got them to drill one the middle of the darn thing. |
|
|
14:20 | , uh, they were only missing few 100 to 300 million barrels of |
|
|
14:24 | . But, uh, that's why important to try to find that target |
|
|
14:29 | and they got drained for probably, , 5 to 10 years, |
|
|
14:33 | monkeying around trying to find how big was. Um, needless to say |
|
|
14:39 | it was discovered, some people weren't with me because it made them look |
|
|
14:42 | stupid. And, uh, that's why I didn't move over to B |
|
|
14:50 | anyway. Um, here we have first, well, we didn't get |
|
|
14:56 | the oil water contact and so they , oh my God, we don't |
|
|
15:00 | how deep it is. You don't what that oil column is. What |
|
|
15:04 | we do? Well, at least know the oil is there. Thank |
|
|
15:07 | . If you hit this one you might go, well, it's |
|
|
15:10 | very much oil is and uh and we're going. Uh so we |
|
|
15:14 | so we don't drill a second. so um there's a lot of reasons |
|
|
15:18 | focus on where you think the most porous, most permeable section |
|
|
15:25 | Use all of your geological insights to out why that might be the best |
|
|
15:30 | . If it's uh if it's something a river uh channel belt, you'll |
|
|
15:35 | it's gonna be complicated and you you may try to adjust uh where |
|
|
15:39 | put that well, relative to where think the channel belt happens to |
|
|
15:45 | Ok. Here's what I was talking um with things with um this was |
|
|
15:52 | mainly to talk about the gaps and but this shows you how highly compartmentalized |
|
|
15:58 | of these fields can be once you mapping out drilling on wells to begin |
|
|
16:05 | . These really thick ones are the ones. These are the smaller |
|
|
16:10 | And what do you think that, , that area right there on the |
|
|
16:14 | means this, these are the led . What do you think those simple |
|
|
16:25 | in the fall? What do you that means this is from, from |
|
|
16:29 | point of view. It's, tell us how to, it's |
|
|
16:35 | the what of the fault? The uh yeah, it's actually the throw |
|
|
16:39 | heave of the fall or the some people call it one and the |
|
|
16:44 | . But um this right here, I drill a well, here, |
|
|
16:49 | will hit that scene if I drill well here, I won't hit that |
|
|
16:52 | because it's cut out and this is greater the throw, the bigger the |
|
|
16:57 | , the bigger the area. And remember when, when you, when |
|
|
17:01 | on, when you're doing, you're the surface and you're mapping something on |
|
|
17:07 | surface. If I was mapping this on the surface, on a peut |
|
|
17:12 | surface, cut any different way, know, or whatever, I would |
|
|
17:17 | , you know, a fault, fault on a guy like this, |
|
|
17:21 | , maybe a little bit bigger. But when, when you're in the |
|
|
17:25 | and you're mapping, this is what think is one surface that surface moves |
|
|
17:34 | this and that whole area right there none of, none of the top |
|
|
17:38 | it and maybe not even any of . The, if you can have |
|
|
17:47 | big, but if the is you will have anything right, the |
|
|
17:54 | has a, has control over It's uh but it has a |
|
|
17:57 | But for example, here, most the faults are probably have the same |
|
|
18:02 | of dip to it based on the fields. And uh the dips may |
|
|
18:06 | in different directions, but the same um in terms of what the dip |
|
|
18:12 | . So usually the wider that is greater the area that you um that |
|
|
18:16 | missing on the formation. And so to make it look even more, |
|
|
18:22 | have, I have, I have question. If go ahead, |
|
|
18:27 | can you go to the previous You see those, those wells that |
|
|
18:33 | 0 35 from B 27 on the ? Wait, wait, what, |
|
|
18:40 | do you think they drill those There are not more like in |
|
|
18:45 | like next to the fault, like , maybe to the west a little |
|
|
18:49 | more to the west where you Is there a wanted to drill |
|
|
18:53 | Here's what happens. Normally, normally you drill those wells, you don't |
|
|
18:58 | those faults are there and when you the well, you drill the well |
|
|
19:04 | uh you don't have a uh geophysics you and uh you don't have geophysical |
|
|
19:10 | or whoops, I forgot sometimes you even see these things on the |
|
|
19:16 | Uh That's when it becomes important to able to pick missing section in |
|
|
19:21 | So, um, they may not have known that fault was there until |
|
|
19:25 | the B 27 hit it. uh, you're right, you're |
|
|
19:29 | Based on the throw of it, would have hit it just below the |
|
|
19:32 | of the sand. Easy answer. like they are targeting some other surfaces |
|
|
19:40 | just the, the work of Yeah, that's possible too. But |
|
|
19:47 | right now, we're just kind of on one on one. Uh You |
|
|
19:51 | , but you're right, there could been a, a uh um a |
|
|
19:56 | wide open one but uh you don't a map like this after your |
|
|
20:01 | Well. Ok. And that's what's . Um You can't see all those |
|
|
20:08 | until you start drilling wells. So, uh here's a faulted section |
|
|
20:18 | . This, this looks like a diagram and um I often ask test |
|
|
20:23 | on it and no one can answer . But um, so if I |
|
|
20:29 | that well, right there, how is my gap gonna be? Is |
|
|
20:37 | gonna be this wide or is it be that one? Uh first one |
|
|
20:47 | second? Is it gonna be, it gonna be from here to |
|
|
20:52 | What is it gonna be from here here? This is closer to direct |
|
|
20:57 | . I think direct answer should also this one is, hits the top |
|
|
21:02 | the road side. So it should in a, more than a |
|
|
21:09 | Ok. So, yeah. right here. Yeah, and right |
|
|
21:13 | and that's how wide it. And that's the throw on your |
|
|
21:18 | Now, um, a lot of these faults move far enough that it's |
|
|
21:22 | that. And then, um, actual map surface could be as far |
|
|
21:30 | as however much of this you think miss and you've missed it all. |
|
|
21:38 | ? So it would be a much swath. OK? And of |
|
|
21:46 | if you have a um, thrust or, or reverse fault and this |
|
|
21:53 | really, but if you have a fault, uh you're gonna see repeated |
|
|
21:58 | . In other words, this section is just below here is the same |
|
|
22:03 | that section. So when I drill it, I will see that |
|
|
22:06 | then I will see the same section when I hit it in this, |
|
|
22:11 | OK. And lucky for you, not gonna talk about thrusts or uh |
|
|
22:17 | falls. It's i it, it's hard enough for me to get |
|
|
22:25 | to do a single normal. Uh , and always fully understand and I |
|
|
22:32 | some of the people in the class may have done it before or worked |
|
|
22:35 | things like this before are, are capable of doing it. It's just |
|
|
22:39 | it's, it's a hard thing with young students from the very beginning |
|
|
22:43 | uh, different ways to math So, here we have, |
|
|
22:48 | full sand, repeated, full salary you would see that in the |
|
|
22:54 | And, uh, oddly enough when like samples for fossils, they might |
|
|
23:04 | a lot of fossils here, but all of them, they get down |
|
|
23:08 | , they find some more of them are the same age as that. |
|
|
23:11 | that's kind of how they're able to that it's a repeated section when they're |
|
|
23:15 | looking at tops. Uh In other , the sloppier, they are the |
|
|
23:20 | obvious it will be, I always it when mistakes end up helping |
|
|
23:26 | OK. Um Here is uh just of the way um You can see |
|
|
23:33 | , it's in a two dimensional diagram trying to mimic what the three dimensions |
|
|
23:38 | look like. And I don't wanna in your way, but you can |
|
|
23:41 | what the throw is and what the is. The heat would be, |
|
|
23:45 | actual map section uh depending on exactly it is. Um And this can |
|
|
23:52 | impacted sometimes by the tip of the . If it's flat, it's a |
|
|
23:56 | simple calculation. If it's dipping a bit, you have to uh account |
|
|
24:01 | the fact that it's gonna be, throw is gonna look more uh than |
|
|
24:05 | actually is as a, as a itself just because the, the um |
|
|
24:11 | dip is gonna add to, to , this is longer for example, |
|
|
24:15 | that. And uh if you put like that, that's where you're gonna |
|
|
24:19 | it, it's gonna hit here and there rather than right there. Like |
|
|
24:23 | one's kind of just on the straight . And uh that kind of, |
|
|
24:29 | if you think about it, that's to uh doing field work and seeing |
|
|
24:33 | that are pena plane versus things that in the subsurface. When you get |
|
|
24:37 | the subsurface, things just start looking . And that's because it's three |
|
|
24:42 | When you're on the surface, you're mapping out two dimensions and uh and |
|
|
24:48 | to put contours to create a three uh aspect to it. OK. |
|
|
24:57 | uh there's the top of the sand the top of the sand, missing |
|
|
25:01 | surface that's mat is the top of sand and that's what's missing on the |
|
|
25:06 | . So you won't hit the sand the top of the sand and those |
|
|
25:10 | , you might hit part of the but not the top of the |
|
|
25:13 | In other words, if I drill well over here, um I'll hit |
|
|
25:19 | but I'll miss all of that to it over here. Likewise. And |
|
|
25:24 | um what, what you're mapping, the maps are, are a map |
|
|
25:28 | this and a map of that and a map of just the same. |
|
|
25:42 | . Well, yeah, that's, one of the ways that you show |
|
|
25:46 | and uh and what it is that real throw is, is, is |
|
|
25:51 | here down to there, OK? thrown it out and here's the |
|
|
25:57 | here's the heave and then here's the to it. And, um, |
|
|
26:03 | , and the exercise I'm gonna give is close to 45 degrees. It's |
|
|
26:09 | 45 degrees, but it's close to . You're gonna have to calculate. |
|
|
26:15 | , but when you're drawing your if you want to go to 45 |
|
|
26:19 | we used to do in the Gulf Mexico all the time on that just |
|
|
26:22 | make it easy. And uh and a simple trigonometry and of course, |
|
|
26:29 | you change, you change the um dip of the fault from 45 you |
|
|
26:34 | , 45 is gonna be the same each direction. So however much it |
|
|
26:39 | , that's how far the heave and throw are identical. And uh but |
|
|
26:44 | you want to figure out is uh the throw is on uh the top |
|
|
26:49 | the sand. And uh if you're really, really precise, it's |
|
|
26:54 | Um you know, it, if start to get to a number over |
|
|
26:57 | degrees or something less than uh say 40 degrees um or 30 35 or |
|
|
27:06 | like that, then you're getting to you need to probably know exactly what |
|
|
27:08 | dip is. OK. So the envelope itself in a very simple reservoir |
|
|
27:21 | the top of the sand, the of the sand and the thickness uh |
|
|
27:30 | this and the fat wedge that you from that. And um the bottom |
|
|
27:36 | helps you see uh the wedges that get on the edge. In other |
|
|
27:41 | , if I have a reservoir, we just, we just through, |
|
|
27:51 | this thing, but I'm gonna turn reservoir like this and look at it |
|
|
27:58 | cross section and there's that fault, ? And the sand is doing something |
|
|
28:06 | this, you know, what are doing something like this. Here's the |
|
|
28:16 | . And when I talk about wedges quite see the whole thing. I |
|
|
28:22 | uh a win here. That's half the reservoir. In other words, |
|
|
28:27 | I made this the same thickness, it would be um then I'd be |
|
|
28:33 | by half on here, but I'd be half on all of this. |
|
|
28:38 | in the Gulf of Mexico, a of times the dips of the best |
|
|
28:41 | not a lot. And uh the the depth, the more this line |
|
|
28:46 | up this way and you can get the point where you're almost dividing the |
|
|
28:51 | reservoir in half. Uh So, these wedges uh can, can um |
|
|
28:58 | you double the reserves that are actually without even knowing about it. And |
|
|
29:04 | I, I, I did a of diagrams uh like this if you |
|
|
29:10 | a 45 degree angle like this. uh and you have a flat line |
|
|
29:15 | it's a reservoir trapped up against this of just having just enough dip so |
|
|
29:20 | you can uh that you can trap . Um The fault wedge may not |
|
|
29:25 | important. OK. But imagine imagine if the best skipping and it's |
|
|
29:35 | to parallel to the fault dip, then that wedge can be enormous. |
|
|
29:41 | . So when, when I was characterization, Jeff R from uh Alberta |
|
|
29:48 | fault wedges aren't important and I like because they can be extremely important. |
|
|
29:55 | , an event like this, here's old water contact, it's not parallel |
|
|
30:05 | the ship of the bed. And it becomes a smaller component of the |
|
|
30:10 | that you have. But here, can see almost this entire thickness. |
|
|
30:15 | , here's the thickness, this is vertical thickness of it. Um It's |
|
|
30:19 | drawn perfectly because I did it with . It never would let me click |
|
|
30:23 | in the right spot. You I put it here and it went |
|
|
30:26 | there when I and uh there's ways override that, but I was in |
|
|
30:29 | hurry that day. So, uh , uh this would be the thickness |
|
|
30:34 | it if I did this area from to up there and said that's the |
|
|
30:40 | of that volume. I would be doubling the reserves and I'd be uh |
|
|
30:46 | way too much money maybe for OK? And then if we have |
|
|
30:55 | slightly dipping bit, you can see in other words is explosive parallel um |
|
|
31:04 | to uh you know, the, lower it is the more parallel it |
|
|
31:08 | to a flat plane and lower the greater on the amount of the |
|
|
31:15 | can just look here. In other , here's the thickness of the |
|
|
31:18 | but because it's tilted just a little , the wedge created by that oil |
|
|
31:23 | contact is not insignificant, it just going. Ok? And if I |
|
|
31:30 | a fault right here, the rest it would be half by that |
|
|
31:38 | Ok. If we have a vertical , what kind of oil but contact |
|
|
31:44 | do I have? There's nothing, a full thickness except it would be |
|
|
31:54 | , you know, the full times the the thickness of the same, |
|
|
32:00 | often think of the thickness as being vertical component, but in this |
|
|
32:03 | it would be horizontal. So you have all of this plus. |
|
|
32:06 | part of that went up to the at the top. So all these |
|
|
32:13 | that we worry about are important to extent in a, in a different |
|
|
32:19 | for every reservoir that we drill. Since we're working in the Gulf of |
|
|
32:26 | , most of the time, that's be the most important wedge that you |
|
|
32:32 | to worry about. That's the oil water contact wedge. And I |
|
|
32:38 | after 18 wells, um I know and I work with a lot of |
|
|
32:43 | , another um 45 wells in one and, and, uh, quite |
|
|
32:48 | few in another one. Ok. how many of you have ever made |
|
|
33:14 | contour? Anybody not make a contour ? You're not sure. Ok. |
|
|
33:35 | , I'm just gonna go through it , really quick and, uh, |
|
|
33:40 | lines of course, are equal value . So when we put 1300 on |
|
|
33:44 | , that's normally what we mean, 1300. Those of you that have |
|
|
33:47 | field mapping, you're usually 1300 would 1300 above zero. And uh but |
|
|
33:53 | we're in the subsurface, it's gonna one some day and is uh sea |
|
|
33:58 | or in many cases, it's the which would be the drill where the |
|
|
34:03 | deck is and, and that's gonna your zero point. But then |
|
|
34:08 | um when we did a subsurface where always hit the bush and we take |
|
|
34:12 | up and uh uh it to uh level. So whatever the elevation of |
|
|
34:18 | uh Kelly bus is is subtracted. . Um And with that, you |
|
|
34:26 | , when we make contour maps, uh primarily do it with structures, |
|
|
34:30 | then we also make is a or they call ISO core maps. Um |
|
|
34:36 | don't get into a big uh argument what's the difference between a, is |
|
|
34:40 | map or an ISO core map? know it's important. Uh If you |
|
|
34:45 | this funny Hi Beds and stuff, it could create lots of problems because |
|
|
34:50 | because then the ISO core is going be a lot thicker than the ice |
|
|
34:54 | of it. But uh generally what try to do is figure out what |
|
|
34:58 | thickness of that sand is from all well data that you have. And |
|
|
35:04 | and of course, if you if you hit a, if you |
|
|
35:07 | , if you have deviated wells, always have to uh correct it to |
|
|
35:11 | , D but TV D two vertical is not always the, uh the |
|
|
35:16 | thing. Uh You know, the of the bed and it sipping like |
|
|
35:22 | and the is, you know, straight up and down, straight up |
|
|
35:26 | down, this is flat DVD and S C will be the same. |
|
|
35:30 | if you do it like this, gonna be all. And I think |
|
|
35:35 | already talked about that in, in logging. OK. So, |
|
|
35:42 | so I, I kind of like diagram even though again, it's very |
|
|
35:46 | and just to be safe, they the minuses on it. So you |
|
|
35:50 | know the subsurface, you know, the plane. Um Here, here's |
|
|
35:56 | particular bad hair that stiffing. And what they're trying to show you is |
|
|
36:03 | , um this is how deep is , this is how deep is here |
|
|
36:10 | this is how deep is here and up there and what you need to |
|
|
36:14 | your head when you start mapping is , whenever you see the picture of |
|
|
36:19 | , the um structure corn uh contour , the horizontal plane, which could |
|
|
36:25 | a fault or it could be a . Um In, in the case |
|
|
36:29 | subsurface mapping, we're usually trying to the top of a particular bed. |
|
|
36:35 | uh and that's, that's what uh map. We don't map, we |
|
|
36:39 | map what we see if somebody came and just cut across like that like |
|
|
36:44 | were doing field work or if it on a cliff like this. Um |
|
|
36:50 | this is 3d all the way, the way down. And uh |
|
|
36:56 | here's another simple diagram to show you when the, when there's a change |
|
|
37:01 | depth and you might have been thinking this when we looked at dip |
|
|
37:06 | when there's a change in dip, the contours get closer and closer, |
|
|
37:12 | get a higher dip, you go a low dip to a high |
|
|
37:15 | the contours get higher and higher. words, a slightly tilting bit. |
|
|
37:22 | It takes uh you have to travel longer distance to go 100 ft up |
|
|
37:29 | . It's skipping more up. So travel less distance to go from here |
|
|
37:35 | here to get up to that one even less for that one, less |
|
|
37:38 | that one. And here you're starting see a rollover and it's starting to |
|
|
37:42 | back out again. And uh this just, this is in your book |
|
|
37:50 | . And um I think it's in book. I'm pretty sure it |
|
|
37:54 | Uh, normally I put a reference it's not in your book and |
|
|
37:56 | I've been trying to get the but this is also in the, |
|
|
38:02 | , in the tear. And, , but this is the 1990 |
|
|
38:08 | in 1991 version, there's, there's a couple of, other than |
|
|
38:13 | it, it, it, they covered a lot of really important |
|
|
38:16 | . They missed a few but not and, and they do have some |
|
|
38:20 | in it, but by and large a, it's a pretty good book |
|
|
38:25 | um and this is just showing you , given a different type of uh |
|
|
38:32 | slightly different. Here's, yeah, um like an ellipsoid, here's one |
|
|
38:39 | just the curve of and it's just me what happens. Um Here it's |
|
|
38:45 | steep and it's starting to flatten it , flat out and flat. And |
|
|
38:49 | I think it never is exactly the they drew it, but it's |
|
|
38:58 | So here's another way of looking map and side view. Although um I'm |
|
|
39:05 | sure why this shoe had to go in the air over here, think |
|
|
39:08 | guy had curl toes curling upwards or . But uh but nevertheless, you |
|
|
39:13 | the idea, you know, this two dimension two dimensions and this is |
|
|
39:19 | two dimensions, but it's adding the of height uh and taking away the |
|
|
39:25 | of width or whatever, uh, you see down here again, these |
|
|
39:34 | lines of equal dead sub and, , they don't get to cross when |
|
|
39:42 | draw them across each other. You've a mistake. Here's another one with |
|
|
39:51 | , um, a nice saddle in and you can see the faint and |
|
|
39:56 | page behind it when I, when , um, scan this. But |
|
|
40:01 | a satellite in here, here's two and you can see that this is |
|
|
40:07 | similar to what the South 53 thing worked on. We had a high |
|
|
40:12 | and we had another high over here really here and missed the sands. |
|
|
40:17 | uh we picked up the acreage and farm and, and we, and |
|
|
40:21 | , uh we did really well except one of the highs. Uh the |
|
|
40:25 | were shelled out the gosh, we the sands were continuous didn't happen. |
|
|
40:33 | . Here's the thing that you Uh when you map depressions. Um |
|
|
40:38 | know, there's different mapping symbols. It's nice that they're showing you |
|
|
40:43 | Some people never bother to put those it because again, if your eyes |
|
|
40:47 | to it, you'll see the, depression. Um Whether one puts the |
|
|
40:52 | marks on it. And uh and course, so what do you think |
|
|
40:56 | colors would be if we did this color? What would it be? |
|
|
41:02 | do you think this would some, people do the, the red and |
|
|
41:08 | blue. They, so I think , you know, most, most |
|
|
41:14 | the time the standard thing is, know, blues are blues are cold |
|
|
41:19 | hots high, deep is blue, know, just like water. |
|
|
41:24 | uh, that's simple, but some actually switch it around. Yeah. |
|
|
41:28 | computer programs allow you to switch it which when you, uh, when |
|
|
41:33 | would go to joint interest, meetings or equity meetings, uh, |
|
|
41:40 | of the new geologists would come in colors that made no sense to |
|
|
41:44 | So we had to ask them what meant. And, uh, and |
|
|
41:48 | , of course, back then we didn't have that many colors, |
|
|
41:51 | know, we had a, we or, or gas at some peoples |
|
|
41:57 | come. Yeah. And sometimes sometimes was just to throw you off so |
|
|
42:05 | one of your big maps fell out the back of your head, out |
|
|
42:07 | front, someone found it, they know what you had. And, |
|
|
42:13 | , the trick is, is to sure you, you've either tied things |
|
|
42:16 | in the back or you have a with a trunk and then you can |
|
|
42:20 | the right colors. Uh It's it's amazing what a, what a |
|
|
42:25 | of the detective work was like back . Um, uh, now we |
|
|
42:30 | hack your computer and just get every , here is another one and, |
|
|
42:34 | , this is kind of what it look like in a structure. Uh |
|
|
42:38 | is John. We're coming up to north. I didn't put the minus |
|
|
42:41 | . I'm just trying to say you know, if you, if |
|
|
42:44 | don't want to take the time to the minus in there. So |
|
|
42:48 | you know, we're working in the circle, the higher numbers we |
|
|
42:52 | OK. Instead of shallow. And and there's, there's a good reason |
|
|
42:56 | it. Uh back in the we just have to draw all these |
|
|
42:59 | and, and get a chart pack put all the minus in the chart |
|
|
43:03 | . And uh some of us were have to be a minus sign, |
|
|
43:06 | like the saying, minus sign every we did it, I got really |
|
|
43:11 | at uh drawing until I hurt my . And um that's a long |
|
|
43:17 | But um uh all I can say if you live in New Orleans, |
|
|
43:20 | have these big cockroaches and if you to have an 11 ft ceiling like |
|
|
43:25 | did, I found that rubber bands really good. And so I would |
|
|
43:29 | like this, take one out just along. Uh After you've used that |
|
|
43:35 | band, you need to switch it before it breaks. So one day |
|
|
43:38 | sitting here and, and I had guy nailed, I mean, I |
|
|
43:41 | gonna get him and uh the rubber broke and hit me in the |
|
|
43:45 | took a chunk of my cornea out the a part of the cover to |
|
|
43:50 | . And, uh, if you've had anything, poke you in the |
|
|
43:53 | , you know, it hurts and screamed bloody murder and just collapsed on |
|
|
43:57 | floor and we had a, a living next door to us. |
|
|
44:03 | uh, this is just a little of friendly advice. If you hurt |
|
|
44:06 | eye, don't go to a Asian . So why not put in? |
|
|
44:12 | gonna be the wrong thing and this gonna take forever to years. |
|
|
44:16 | Because he's, he deals with different . OK? And that's all I'm |
|
|
44:22 | say. It took several months, ended up at a specialist. And |
|
|
44:30 | , were they laughing? OK. I walked around like this all the |
|
|
44:35 | , you know, one eye closed a patch on it and it messes |
|
|
44:40 | your three dimensional uh perspective. So , when you do these kind of |
|
|
44:47 | , you know, you start doing like this. Um It's always to |
|
|
44:51 | mapping like if you have a lot wells over here doing your well |
|
|
44:54 | you have a lot of wells over , you know, try to get |
|
|
44:57 | contours to sort out in this Um This, this isn't straightforward. |
|
|
45:04 | can see there's curves and uh some try to make it straightforward, but |
|
|
45:09 | gotta have to kind of think of a structure should look on. And |
|
|
45:13 | and that's where your geological imagination uh , is something that will help you |
|
|
45:18 | lot, the shakes. OK. , um, uh, and that's |
|
|
45:25 | you do. Now, once you here, you kind of have an |
|
|
45:27 | that this has to come like that somehow has to go like that |
|
|
45:32 | so on. And so, so you have a cluster together, work |
|
|
45:36 | the closest wells first before you move to the farther ones, a park |
|
|
45:41 | the ones that are far apart. here's the thing about contour style |
|
|
45:45 | you can see, uh this is , just line, but which one |
|
|
45:50 | those looks looks more real to every in this room and you like the |
|
|
45:58 | movie that's more realistic. I think depends on what you're talking about. |
|
|
46:05 | it the second? Because yours is as much as uh sometimes geology looks |
|
|
46:12 | lot like this. Now, this looks like uh incisions from a, |
|
|
46:16 | exposed surface, which it probably But, uh, but a lot |
|
|
46:21 | geological things have these emulating sites and we can all think of all sorts |
|
|
46:26 | examples uh that might do that kind thing. So, um, |
|
|
46:31 | we do some and when you get , so like the move because like |
|
|
46:40 | who like to see the, the , I, I know. |
|
|
46:45 | and of course, the computers like do the top version more often than |
|
|
46:49 | , than a human. So, , one of the things that you |
|
|
46:54 | tell with the data that we have . Unless you have something else, |
|
|
46:58 | don't know if they're all open up the sides. And, you |
|
|
47:01 | do we really have four away And uh with the data that you |
|
|
47:05 | there, you can't really prove four closure. And that's just, |
|
|
47:09 | just letting you know, but, know, you can't sit there and |
|
|
47:12 | , well, I don't know whether got four, you know, what |
|
|
47:14 | you looking for? Four way So you draw in the four way |
|
|
47:18 | in a way that looks reasonable. . And uh th this is I'm |
|
|
47:25 | gonna go into all these, but would appreciate it if you would read |
|
|
47:28 | because I will ask you questions about . Uh But there's uh these are |
|
|
47:33 | basic contouring styles and um parallel and space. Uh Really if uh mechanical |
|
|
47:45 | sort of like we're just connecting the parallel, you try to keep the |
|
|
47:50 | pretty much the same across the whole . There's a reason for that usual |
|
|
47:54 | is off an area where the regional isn't, then you blow that off |
|
|
48:01 | space. Um This is trying to parallel, but this one just automatically |
|
|
48:08 | that it is there and then um it, you're just trying to make |
|
|
48:13 | the uh the depths within your OK. And um and all of |
|
|
48:21 | examples that I see of these things and equal space and even a mechanical |
|
|
48:26 | look pretty much the same. uh, the way I learned to |
|
|
48:30 | it and it worked really well for . You know, I was usually |
|
|
48:34 | of 100 million barrels. I was no, no more than a, |
|
|
48:38 | , than a million barrels off, for a whole uh large structure. |
|
|
48:44 | , uh, but I would start mechanical and then start to add interpretive |
|
|
48:53 | logic. You know, you start in your head, why would, |
|
|
48:57 | would, why would this close your ? Why would it do this kind |
|
|
49:02 | thing? Um Sometimes when you're doing , you know, you have all |
|
|
49:06 | things that look like the straight line then one's off, the one that's |
|
|
49:10 | is kind of telling you that things going like this and, uh you |
|
|
49:15 | take that that fact in and use for the rest of your map. |
|
|
49:24 | . Here's a mis a mistake in book. If I only point out |
|
|
49:27 | few of them are, it would me a long time. But, |
|
|
49:30 | , um, if you get halfway these two points, it would be |
|
|
49:35 | there and that down there, you kind of see this is squeezed down |
|
|
49:38 | little too fast and, uh, you bring it right up in |
|
|
49:42 | it would be half. And, , I, um, one of |
|
|
49:49 | things that you can get is that can get, um, these dividers |
|
|
49:55 | have, uh, they're equal so they pull apart and have equal |
|
|
49:59 | distances. And uh those are really for, uh, for doing |
|
|
50:04 | Uh But you can also use a and just say, OK, if |
|
|
50:08 | pull this, if I stretch, I stretch this apart this far, |
|
|
50:12 | the next one should be about that . Uh If I'm trying to get |
|
|
50:16 | dip to be pretty much the OK. And here, um this |
|
|
50:26 | just showing you that, you sometimes you can have exactly almost the |
|
|
50:30 | kind of information you end up with that looks like that. Here's something |
|
|
50:35 | happens with, um, with computer a lot. And, um, |
|
|
50:43 | some extent, I'm kind of surprised this but, um, normally what |
|
|
50:47 | does is draw the circles around your points and, uh, and that's |
|
|
50:52 | dangerous and, um, I don't if the algorithms have gotten better over |
|
|
50:57 | last seven or eight years. uh, and I haven't talked to |
|
|
51:01 | lot of my graduates uh, recently it would have been before COVID. |
|
|
51:06 | But, um, but when they actually working, uh the hill, |
|
|
51:13 | they gave up on computer but what would do is use the computer to |
|
|
51:17 | and map, map their base, base map, their smells on |
|
|
51:22 | But they would always do hand concours they found that they were getting |
|
|
51:25 | better accuracy and results. And uh about uh 10 years ago I did |
|
|
51:32 | a guy do a Capstone project uh, I think the four, |
|
|
51:36 | four best mappings we had all four them here at the U of |
|
|
51:41 | at the time. And, none of them were closer than 25% |
|
|
51:48 | , yeah. No, but, most of them would be off, |
|
|
51:54 | , uh, 50% on one 25% on the other side because, |
|
|
51:59 | , I don't know exactly what it like now, but at the time |
|
|
52:02 | had a pop down menu and they pick which type of style they |
|
|
52:06 | And, uh, but again, , people that were actually doing this |
|
|
52:11 | and making money, uh, really to go in and do interpretive mapping |
|
|
52:15 | the, and they, they may , they didn't say this, but |
|
|
52:19 | guessing they might have done one of , uh, just to see what |
|
|
52:22 | looked like before they, uh, to put geology into it. The |
|
|
52:27 | styles that you're talking about on the side. Exactly those four styles. |
|
|
52:33 | there's a lot of similarities in all , um, to me, mechanical |
|
|
52:38 | you're actually, um, where am going here? You're actually, you're |
|
|
52:46 | trying to, between points on you're trying to get them, you |
|
|
52:50 | , the mechanically fit in the way supposed to, uh on another |
|
|
52:59 | Uh you know, parallel you might go, you would automatically go up |
|
|
53:03 | this and try to keep, keep things parallel. And then, uh |
|
|
53:09 | , um, if you did um, equal space, you try |
|
|
53:16 | keep the, the dip completely, , equal space, you're, you're |
|
|
53:22 | doing it like mechanical. But uh with the parallel and you're kind |
|
|
53:27 | going like this. So it may always be the same tip, but |
|
|
53:30 | , uh, but it looks like looks like it's almost equal space but |
|
|
53:34 | not the same dip all the OK? And, and uh no |
|
|
53:40 | how you do it, you're gonna up with a bit of an element |
|
|
53:42 | all of those things in, in map. OK. So, um |
|
|
53:53 | is equal space contour with regional dip between uh wells two and four. |
|
|
53:59 | you can see this is, this the one that's equal space. So |
|
|
54:03 | , it doesn't look like that. looks like this. You see how |
|
|
54:08 | , they're trying the, the dip is not the same as the dip |
|
|
54:13 | , but they're trying to keep these parallel and it's, it's only in |
|
|
54:17 | bends and stuff that you really notice of these differences. Now, this |
|
|
54:22 | the kind of tool that I have they're really expensive and I don't think |
|
|
54:26 | can buy a new one. So almost never let anybody borrow it. |
|
|
54:30 | I made the mistake of renting out least 20 books that I've never seen |
|
|
54:34 | . Um When it's a student, usually get it back, if not |
|
|
54:39 | uh the faculty number once when we a master key that just come in |
|
|
54:43 | borrow your book. And uh but so, um I have one of |
|
|
54:51 | so when I read the papers, really easy for me to check with |
|
|
54:55 | . Yeah. Speaking of which I'm try really hard to get uh uh |
|
|
55:01 | get your uh correlation exercises posted Um It's, it's not, it |
|
|
55:09 | take me long to do it. have just been so busy with a |
|
|
55:11 | of these other, uh, other we're trying to get to run. |
|
|
55:17 | . And then there's the interpretive contouring , and, uh, as I |
|
|
55:23 | , for this exercise, you mechanical you have good data and interpretive contouring |
|
|
55:28 | connect across data areas. I think , that's the safe, one of |
|
|
55:31 | safest ways to do it. But , if, if, uh, |
|
|
55:35 | when you're, when you're doing there's gonna be a, well, |
|
|
55:38 | looks a little bit off, off lines that's telling you the dip has |
|
|
55:42 | move up or down on either side it. And, uh, you |
|
|
55:46 | always take that into consideration too. . So we kind of went into |
|
|
55:55 | , but to me, uh, field that you're gonna be looking at |
|
|
56:02 | is the exercise that I'm, I'm to tell you what the, what |
|
|
56:05 | final exercise, your 15 point exercise a project is gonna be um, |
|
|
56:13 | gonna end up with a fault plane . And, um, I used |
|
|
56:19 | try to avoid that at all costs I was working. Does it take |
|
|
56:23 | long? But after I started teaching , I realized it's a really important |
|
|
56:28 | for people to, uh, to able to do when you have 3d |
|
|
56:31 | where they can do all the you can cut it anywhere you want |
|
|
56:35 | get a slice or map it on , on a top or whatever. |
|
|
56:38 | it really helps for me to kind see where the fault is relative to |
|
|
56:41 | top of the base. And um you're gonna, you're gonna do a |
|
|
56:48 | plane map from that, you're gonna the dip of the fault, the |
|
|
56:53 | and the direction and then you're gonna out the strike and um once you |
|
|
57:00 | out the strike, you'll pretty much which and, and do you almost |
|
|
57:07 | need the map? But it's a easier if you have, you have |
|
|
57:10 | put the map, you can put ball map in your surface map one |
|
|
57:15 | top of the other and figure out the, and that's why it makes |
|
|
57:19 | so easy. You can do all this without any, you know, |
|
|
57:22 | just with just trigonometric calculations, it's easy. Uh If you just plot |
|
|
57:27 | on top of the other and figure out that way. So uh we |
|
|
57:34 | talked about this And sometimes when I the lecture that we just saw before |
|
|
57:40 | , um, um, we have break in glass and then so I |
|
|
57:46 | of go over this again. But , here's the way this is full |
|
|
57:50 | and this is the water content. here is how you come up |
|
|
58:00 | uh, the fault plane map and to determine the strike and the dip |
|
|
58:05 | the fault if you already knew the . And unfortunately, um the strike |
|
|
58:12 | close to the east west, but quite. But some people go |
|
|
58:16 | you know, I know what the is. I only need two |
|
|
58:18 | I don't need three wells which is , but you don't know if the |
|
|
58:22 | is fault in the beginning. This , this is uh an explanation of |
|
|
58:28 | that came out, out of uh really good uh petroleum geology book way |
|
|
58:34 | we even had uh calculators. And I think it, it has heuristic |
|
|
58:40 | to uh to do this because um helps you actually see how this three |
|
|
58:48 | framework kind of gets put together with something that's like this and something that's |
|
|
58:55 | that. And you'll also see some things and I'm gonna ask you some |
|
|
59:02 | about the funny things. So here's you do with it. And uh |
|
|
59:05 | was designed so that even I we this and figure out and that's kind |
|
|
59:16 | what I did. I went through , pages and pages of this |
|
|
59:21 | I thought, you know, we be able to do this in |
|
|
59:27 | And so, um, the first is you, you're gonna take three |
|
|
59:35 | , you're gonna, this, this is gonna have a lot of |
|
|
59:38 | but I've given you the fault cut sometimes you don't know where it |
|
|
59:43 | And, um, based on what graded so far, you guys don't |
|
|
59:47 | pick all the falls, but uh not gonna hurt your grade. As |
|
|
59:52 | as you got one or two or , you get two because one was |
|
|
59:56 | , um, if you did one from the one that was given that |
|
|
60:00 | it. Uh Anyway, you need , you need three uh points |
|
|
60:08 | to calculate a plane, calculate a with two points to let you know |
|
|
60:13 | the strike is in the, you have something else to do it. |
|
|
60:19 | , um, what you do is had um, a well here, |
|
|
60:24 | well here and a well there and at the depths on these wells where |
|
|
60:28 | hit the surface. Which one is , the deepest? Ok? It's |
|
|
60:36 | the top. So, so it's this. So these, these here |
|
|
60:44 | then b is the highest one anywhere here. It just turns out that |
|
|
60:49 | one off the side happens to be to the over here. So that's |
|
|
60:57 | . So you're gonna get three wells it's not gonna, your your diagram |
|
|
61:01 | not gonna look exactly like this. remember um A is the deepest |
|
|
61:09 | P is the shallowest and C is uh in between. So first you |
|
|
61:16 | a line A B. Has anybody done this, done it this way |
|
|
61:20 | guys have? All right. that's good us. Usually when I |
|
|
61:29 | did you, did you do it field mapping A U of H? |
|
|
61:35 | . Yeah. Yeah. He must been paying attention because I had students |
|
|
61:41 | in from his class telling me it only takes two points. I'm |
|
|
61:45 | like can't do it. Well, glad you guys are. It's good |
|
|
61:50 | you guys know you might help somebody gets stuck. OK? And so |
|
|
61:55 | then you just draw this line out . Um The difference between this depth |
|
|
62:03 | that depth, draw a line out somewhere and um as well, do |
|
|
62:09 | draw it up here? Do I , don't draw down, we drive |
|
|
62:16 | north of this one and uh because the way it's calculated, if |
|
|
62:21 | if you go up a little bit , it changes the shape of the |
|
|
62:25 | angle and it, it balances itself . Um But if you, if |
|
|
62:30 | draw something that looks like my it will be easy. OK, |
|
|
62:36 | you connect those two. So now you created point D from taking |
|
|
62:44 | 1000 ft thing and just kind of it out here somewhere and then B |
|
|
62:49 | B give you that side. So then what you need to do |
|
|
62:59 | do the difference between the um which , the shallowest and the middle |
|
|
63:07 | right? Thank you. So you the difference between this and this, |
|
|
63:19 | the difference? Mhm OK. And then you take it on this |
|
|
63:29 | you come out 400 ft and that your point E and then what you |
|
|
63:39 | with point E and it's not grown right. But you parallel you get |
|
|
63:44 | parallelogram or something and try to get , get this to be equal to |
|
|
63:49 | . So if, if this was , this would be, would be |
|
|
63:56 | like this. And, and it adjust your thing depending on where you |
|
|
64:00 | d in the first place. So all self compensatory. OK? |
|
|
64:09 | um but when you draw this it will give you point F and |
|
|
64:13 | you draw from point F all the to this. Well, it's not |
|
|
64:17 | perfect when I heard it, but was a uh a power point click |
|
|
64:22 | again. And um and so now have uh you have ABC D E |
|
|
64:33 | and you have that distance right What is this line right here? |
|
|
64:39 | your strike? OK. And I didn't quite get it normal, |
|
|
64:45 | it's close. Does it look normal the moment it almost looks like? |
|
|
64:55 | . So this gives you point out perpendicular to this line. I found |
|
|
65:02 | a if you point them, then take that 400 ft again and go |
|
|
65:13 | to end now. Um, because we're running out of time and |
|
|
65:21 | . I'm gonna tell you a little about this one. Uh, because |
|
|
65:26 | your map and your fault cuts and they are, this letter is gonna |
|
|
65:33 | . Yeah. Ok. So don't out. It's just farther away. |
|
|
65:42 | you are within the 400 we have skill in the, so we can |
|
|
65:47 | that like how much is the You know, as a geologist, |
|
|
65:51 | was taught from day one, a should always have a north arrow on |
|
|
65:57 | . I couldn't turn in a test in graduate school at U of H |
|
|
66:03 | years ago. If I forgot to an N on it, a whole |
|
|
66:06 | would be wrong. So you have have a North and you also have |
|
|
66:09 | have your skin, anybody that gives a map with a scale, hand |
|
|
66:13 | back to them and tell them I want it. And uh you |
|
|
66:17 | it's just the way it is. maps have skills. So this will |
|
|
66:19 | a scale. OK. Listen, for the like the between A and |
|
|
66:29 | just you just like that like, , see what what happens is if |
|
|
66:34 | bring it up a little bit your parallelogram will be different. And |
|
|
66:39 | it will affect this and it it will just adjust it and it'll |
|
|
66:43 | exactly in the right spot. You believe me, try it. |
|
|
66:49 | You know, it's, trust I did it, I did it |
|
|
66:52 | bunch of times to make sure it work in class. And, |
|
|
66:58 | and I thought I figured out an way to explain it. Um, |
|
|
67:02 | people have done this before probably have out. Ok. So, |
|
|
67:09 | getting back to this once I have strike, you know, the next |
|
|
67:18 | up here is gonna be parallel to and I can draw it on that |
|
|
67:23 | and I can subdivide this in It's sort of gonna start on my |
|
|
67:27 | playing that. OK? So your by map now, rather than you |
|
|
67:32 | there and you're trying to calculate the , how far the Congo is supposed |
|
|
67:35 | be just and this isn't perfect But if you do it as well |
|
|
67:41 | this is, even though it's not , it would work. Uh But |
|
|
67:44 | these lines across here like this so this is 2600 and that's 2000. |
|
|
67:49 | this would be um 2027. Excuse me? 25 24 23 22 |
|
|
67:56 | 2000. OK? And see there is the North arrow, there's the |
|
|
68:03 | arrow on there. OK? So you're gonna need, what you're gonna |
|
|
68:11 | this fall plane map for and when draw it, you need to probably |
|
|
68:15 | down. I know you need to it down further than what I have |
|
|
68:19 | you're gonna intercept some wells uh with depths on them. And you wanna |
|
|
68:24 | able to figure out where that surface , this crosses this thing. And |
|
|
68:31 | whole object again is to figure out point on the top, the top |
|
|
68:35 | the sand map and this point on top of the sand map that tells |
|
|
68:40 | the width in that direction, it you, it tells you the top |
|
|
68:46 | and the bottom end of the top your seat. This shows you the |
|
|
68:50 | end of the wedge to, yeah, this contact right here will |
|
|
69:00 | you at this point in that So it, it wouldn't be now |
|
|
69:05 | , your condors would get bigger and and bigger from your ice pack. |
|
|
69:09 | you get here and then they'd all the same and then they would start |
|
|
69:12 | smaller and smaller. And OK, is the map that you have |
|
|
69:24 | uh, there's one in there, always gonna be one in there that |
|
|
69:28 | no color. So you can make base map. And, uh, |
|
|
69:33 | you need to do is kind of a preliminary structure map of the |
|
|
69:37 | which is sort of a half moon thing. And, um, and |
|
|
69:44 | , you're gonna sort out where it the fault plane ma and what I |
|
|
69:51 | you to do you're gonna have, gonna have, um, wells north |
|
|
70:00 | , north of the fault and you're have structure north of the fault, |
|
|
70:04 | try to figure out where the fault first and contour everything south of the |
|
|
70:09 | first. Ok? Because once you that, that map, you'll be |
|
|
70:15 | to, um, put the throw the fault in it. When you |
|
|
70:19 | the throw of the fault in it that fault at every one of these |
|
|
70:23 | lines, you'll know that it shifts . Uh whatever the throw is the |
|
|
70:28 | and the heave, we're gonna assume the same even though it's not quite |
|
|
70:30 | same. Um It's gonna be 250 , I believe. And that'll be |
|
|
70:35 | add additional points that you can use your well points to figure out how |
|
|
70:39 | structure looks north of it. And is what this is doing here is |
|
|
70:44 | to figure out the closure on our . OK. So, and that's |
|
|
70:52 | you got there. You, you drawing these lines from your well data |
|
|
71:00 | 1 22 100 excuse me, 2400 here. 2200 hits there. |
|
|
71:09 | And you can go uh just by it on top of it. Uh |
|
|
71:13 | you use tracing paper works, um you can um uh you know, |
|
|
71:20 | something on have a light in Mhm I have a um a tiny |
|
|
71:28 | table that I use which works really . Um, nobody uses them anymore |
|
|
71:34 | it's all done by a computer and have no idea what the computer |
|
|
71:38 | Ok. And then you end up this fault and then you measure the |
|
|
71:45 | equal to the throw to figure out the top of your fall. And |
|
|
71:54 | gives you data points all across In other words, this whole area |
|
|
72:01 | 250. And, uh, I in the map that you make, |
|
|
72:07 | correct myself when I get there, I think it's 250 ft. Uh |
|
|
72:10 | will all be 250 ft shallower. , uh if this was minus |
|
|
72:16 | I would bring it up 250 which would be uh not 22 but |
|
|
72:21 | 50. And that, that's a structure point that you can use for |
|
|
72:27 | surface. And then you figure that and it shows you how you know |
|
|
72:34 | you do, you can read And uh, and then I have |
|
|
72:38 | brief thing, um is a, are similar to contour maps, except |
|
|
72:44 | you're trying to figure out is equal instead of equal elevations. And |
|
|
72:51 | you can read that. And uh of in my earliest uh classes many |
|
|
72:58 | ago, I would have people figure the, uh the net sand and |
|
|
73:04 | just taking a look at this. You know, it's pretty simple what |
|
|
73:09 | net sand is and then what the pay is. Here's the oil water |
|
|
73:14 | . Um And I um but that water contact changes on your map. |
|
|
73:22 | uh and so you'd have to look it. Everybody had trouble figuring this |
|
|
73:25 | . So I've decided to uh what I did was make, |
|
|
73:30 | I hate doing this. I like use real data like the um correlation |
|
|
73:38 | I gave you. But in this , this is what I decided. |
|
|
73:44 | If you have 12 wells and you another one, you're gonna want to |
|
|
73:48 | your resume. OK. So you know exactly the right. Except in |
|
|
73:52 | case, I'm gonna, I'm gonna a re reservoir is a certain |
|
|
73:59 | The process is homogeneous. So that everybody gets the same numbers. If |
|
|
74:07 | figuring, if somebody's figuring out a net than the next person, I |
|
|
74:13 | to go through step by step every , every single calculation I want, |
|
|
74:19 | want to know upfront whether you got or not in the calculation. This |
|
|
74:24 | , I know I even made a I had uh the N S M |
|
|
74:29 | T guys make a 3D model of reservoir. So you could kind of |
|
|
74:33 | at it like this and I think just confused the hell out of |
|
|
74:37 | And uh I mean, u usually something, you know, real 3D |
|
|
74:45 | uh helps but uh sometimes it doesn't again, it's on a screen which |
|
|
74:50 | only two dimensions. And so that of throws your eye eye off. |
|
|
74:54 | , we had a 3d Beehive and or whatever you wanna call it. |
|
|
74:59 | , uh, the neat one that had was you put on, |
|
|
75:03 | special and the, the one that on the table was in a |
|
|
75:09 | Uh, the, the big one more for, uh, they use |
|
|
75:13 | for, uh, people from uh Houston, passing tools to somebody in |
|
|
75:20 | that was getting ready for a mission the table and was perfect with |
|
|
75:26 | as you would get this Michael Jackson and uh literary and everything and you |
|
|
75:32 | go like this and you could just it wide open and see what's on |
|
|
75:36 | side. It was amazing. Um still at the end of the |
|
|
75:42 | you have to calculate what's in It's really neat if you can see |
|
|
75:46 | . But uh it, I think when you work with the data, |
|
|
75:50 | end up understanding it a lot better . So that's what's gonna happen with |
|
|
75:55 | one. Now, here's an example of the book, the wonderful |
|
|
75:59 | And uh it's trying to show you of like here's a wedge over here |
|
|
76:03 | here's a wedge over here. It's thin bed that has a one, |
|
|
76:07 | it flat on the top and you kind of figure out uh how big |
|
|
76:12 | is like here's, here's the outer , here's the inner boundaries and it's |
|
|
76:16 | big. That is, but that's . OK? And it ends up |
|
|
76:24 | something like that. Now, here's one, this one looks almost exactly |
|
|
76:32 | yours exit first and then you can me why I'm right. Um You |
|
|
76:44 | how this is drawn. OK. map is drawn wrong play is a |
|
|
76:57 | and as well then no, forget that. The map is completely |
|
|
77:12 | Yeah, I think so. what do you think this is this |
|
|
77:20 | me? Looks like, I think you climb up a fault, you |
|
|
77:24 | it as you climb up farther, hit it as you climb up |
|
|
77:27 | you hit it, you go farther farther out, you're hitting it higher |
|
|
77:30 | higher. In other words, if have a curved surface hitting the flat |
|
|
77:36 | , what's the shape of the fault look like at Matthew in a moon |
|
|
77:43 | thing is a plane that's flat. intersection of a curved surface with a |
|
|
77:51 | is what kind of a line straight that? No, it's curved. |
|
|
77:56 | has to be curved. This has go like that and that goes like |
|
|
78:02 | . They all advance. Remember when drew these lines. Whoops, I'm |
|
|
78:14 | forward, see right there, see it hits. This is a plane |
|
|
78:24 | that plane there is a plane, can see it behind, there's the |
|
|
78:29 | and you can see that the contour hidden and it's a curve ball. |
|
|
78:33 | a curve ball. Remember I showed some 3d models of the Atlantic market |
|
|
78:38 | then you have these straight straight most of the faults are gonna be |
|
|
78:43 | straight plane planes, but they have to, they're not running down north |
|
|
78:49 | south. What you're doing when you down this structure, you're, you're |
|
|
78:53 | down against the fall so you're fanning on the edge of the fault like |
|
|
78:59 | . You don't just go like It's not just, you know, |
|
|
79:03 | not, it's her the only way this map would be correct as if |
|
|
79:13 | was curved in the opposite direction. , that fall plane would have to |
|
|
79:19 | curved away from it. Ok. there's how you get it. Uh |
|
|
79:26 | you get your oil water contact. what you need to do is, |
|
|
79:34 | , the top of the sand and the top of the sand against |
|
|
79:38 | You'll get up with this, it and the bottom of the sand is |
|
|
79:45 | be smaller and it's gonna look like . See, that's smaller than that |
|
|
79:54 | the oil water contact comes in, fall comes in as you go up |
|
|
80:01 | as you come down rather, and you go deeper, you're going down |
|
|
80:05 | fault. And so this wedge right or that outline, rather, the |
|
|
80:13 | sand outline is smaller than the top outline and it looks like that. |
|
|
80:21 | so this is, this is um, the oil water contact hits |
|
|
80:25 | fall and the, and the, the, the oil water contact hits |
|
|
80:31 | fall deeper and this is where the water contact hits the fault shallow. |
|
|
80:37 | go up to the top. Which part of that map? The |
|
|
80:42 | thickness? Oh, this part's This is the fault witch. It |
|
|
80:57 | intersects with the oil water content and so these lines are gonna kind |
|
|
81:06 | hello my I actually, yeah, you'll see little points. OK? |
|
|
81:18 | I'm not gonna read this for but this is what the uh mapping |
|
|
81:21 | overview is. You have to come with four products. I can tell |
|
|
81:26 | that you need a top sand. else are you gonna do that without |
|
|
81:30 | top seed? Uh the top sand the plane will help you see this |
|
|
81:38 | the oil water contact will help you it. Uh the oil water contact |
|
|
81:46 | the bottom and then the other section the fault will roll that one. |
|
|
81:51 | is all oil, oil water same as this map here, but |
|
|
82:00 | drawn better. Here is the oil water contact on the bottom of |
|
|
82:08 | sand. Here is the fault in oil water content on the top. |
|
|
82:20 | ? So once, once you get those things put together, um you |
|
|
82:25 | make an ice, an Isopack map uh just to make it simple, |
|
|
82:32 | is a Pa Mac of course, gonna have a fault in the middle |
|
|
82:35 | it and um can see here there's park, um it's gonna be your |
|
|
82:42 | and then there's gonna be a part gonna be Yeah. And so what |
|
|
82:52 | used to do was tell people to it like we did in the oil |
|
|
82:56 | was we take our contour maps and each contour line, we would figure |
|
|
83:00 | here. In other words, I figure out this area divided by two |
|
|
83:06 | in this area and divide it and this. And that will be um |
|
|
83:14 | the top would be divided and this be full. But an easy way |
|
|
83:17 | do it is the core is whatever the area is on this side |
|
|
83:23 | the area on this side is Bye bye. Yeah. The neat |
|
|
83:30 | about triangles is the triangle, this , a rectangle or a square. |
|
|
83:37 | if I did the square like this the half, so if I get |
|
|
83:41 | area divided by half and multiply it the thickness you'll end up with the |
|
|
83:47 | body. Um You know, you , you can do each increment. |
|
|
84:02 | . Yeah, you can do each like you know, when, when |
|
|
84:06 | uh when we used to deal we would use this and then we |
|
|
84:10 | do that and then we would do . And so you take the core |
|
|
84:15 | would be the core and you got wedge, here's the core, you |
|
|
84:18 | a wedge, there's the cord, had a wedge, it takes a |
|
|
84:21 | of calculations. Um just, just the core and then half all the |
|
|
84:26 | spaces. So how do you figure your area? OK. Well, |
|
|
84:33 | the formula and again, I'm not read it to you, but you |
|
|
84:37 | to come up with an area and gonna do the area an acre feet |
|
|
84:42 | you multiply it times of porosity um is a stand which is there's one |
|
|
84:49 | then you um then you do uh we have uh we're gonna have uh |
|
|
84:57 | out here. So what's your Mhm. It's gonna be one |
|
|
85:08 | right. Yeah, like the the water saturation is 10, your oil |
|
|
85:12 | will be 90. So you're trying figure out the volume of oil you |
|
|
85:15 | in this and this is all And uh it's a, it's a |
|
|
85:19 | Latrin oil and I even made it uh gave it an IP a API |
|
|
85:26 | of 30 one of the, one the lightest closter oils on the |
|
|
85:34 | OK. So another thing that we is uh you know, we worry |
|
|
85:37 | shrinkage and expansion at the surface. you calculate your barrels of oil. |
|
|
85:44 | give you a recovery factor and that factor includes uh then we produced this |
|
|
85:52 | uh with that volume, you're gonna that many barrel, that percentage of |
|
|
85:57 | . Uh, we take into consideration , um, the stock tank barrel |
|
|
86:03 | contraction uh, that we normally So it just takes one of the |
|
|
86:09 | out of it. And, here I was telling you to measure |
|
|
86:15 | 50 ft contours. I want you , I want you to make an |
|
|
86:18 | map of 50 ft contours. But , I think it would be best |
|
|
86:22 | you just to, to calculate one area divided by head and the other |
|
|
86:27 | by one. And uh this goes uh some of the information. Here's |
|
|
86:40 | uh average porosity. This has all different things that you need. The |
|
|
86:45 | sand is 80% for all wells that you cal that way there's, there's |
|
|
86:49 | gonna be one net sand and uh will help you uh to get to |
|
|
86:55 | feet and this is out of your , just say it over again and |
|
|
87:01 | it tells you what to do. your well data, this gives you |
|
|
87:05 | the tops. Uh There's the three cuts you're gonna get. This is |
|
|
87:10 | fault line. And um and we have three wells with oil water contact |
|
|
87:17 | kind of help you set an oil contact, one's a little higher than |
|
|
87:23 | other one's in the middle. Take middle one, OK. Copy the |
|
|
87:32 | map and don't change the scale when copy it, make sure it's exactly |
|
|
87:35 | same size on an 8.5 piece of that, uh, that it comes |
|
|
87:40 | as there's the scale for you to out. Uh, there was a |
|
|
87:48 | when I told people some of the and they had to figure out the |
|
|
87:51 | , but I gave up on that and there's a blank again and just |
|
|
87:56 | all this stuff and that's how you'll it. And, uh, you |
|
|
87:59 | want to take a look at it or tomorrow and if you have any |
|
|
88:04 | in class you can ask me, , this is gonna be, |
|
|
88:12 | there's two ways to do what does have to do before the exam want |
|
|
88:17 | to have to do after the, like to do a little bit after |
|
|
88:21 | people go, oh, you you, so I, I would |
|
|
88:25 | to give you to at least a days after the exam so that you |
|
|
88:30 | first focus on the exam and, know, maybe in the meantime, |
|
|
88:34 | now and then you might be able do a little bit on that. |
|
|
88:37 | when it comes time to study I get to study. I don't, |
|
|
88:42 | , I mean, this is just way I, and some people get |
|
|
88:46 | upset about it but, but if you do just turn it in |
|
|
88:53 | , there's nothing wrong with turning it early and a few people know a |
|
|
88:59 | about how to do this. uh, you could talk to them |
|
|
89:02 | , if they're willing to work with and, uh, sort it out |
|
|
89:06 | . It does, it does also if people, um, get together |
|
|
89:10 | . And, um, what you're do is there's a four point you |
|
|
89:14 | to get a piece of graph paper 10 squares to an inch. And |
|
|
89:19 | you don't have it, you don't something in my office that can |
|
|
89:22 | uh, and then you figure out the area is based on the numbers |
|
|
89:25 | I gave you on that uh that , it talked about how to, |
|
|
89:29 | to calculate data. So um when you our exams process? Yeah. |
|
|
89:49 | , I think the end of the guys how, how good this over |
|
|
89:58 | will give me plenty of time to exam. Yeah. Uh document with |
|
|
90:26 | like like the, the shit you . Yeah, I will give you |
|
|
90:30 | study guide but I might do that . I might put it out tomorrow |
|
|
90:36 | uh and I'll tell you if we get to it, it won't be |
|
|
90:38 | it. You were saying like, , I have like a giant |
|
|
90:43 | engineer squares on the wide scale. of them are eighth of an |
|
|
90:50 | I also like, look at it see you said 10, it's 10 |
|
|
90:53 | then you can just come down the and get some for me. |
|
|
90:59 | Yeah. Yeah. I found my , my two rolls. I got |
|
|
91:03 | off of a, um, I know, what do you call |
|
|
91:07 | A, uh, not a mass but, uh, you know, |
|
|
91:11 | thing where you do the X uh, for, yeah, you |
|
|
91:15 | don't remember. We used to have little machines, by the way you |
|
|
91:31 | see through it too. In it's, it's good to get a |
|
|
91:40 | of pieces of it so you can make some of your maps on |
|
|
91:44 | |
|
