00:13 Can you see me now? Nobody hear me. Nobody can see

00:25 Can you hear me anybody? You you see the screen? And is

00:32 , is it the presentation mode? , thank you. It's like pulling

00:39 now. Pulling teeth is easier. ? A little bit on rock physics

00:46 and we're gonna talk about the velocity an ideal media. Oh, we're

00:54 have some exercises and I would prepare by mentioning that this is not going

01:01 happen often. But the university every designates, designates so much money I

01:10 back to the students. And this to take into effect the fact that

01:17 , they had to pay for the building that athletics feel. Uh you

01:24 , you had to pay that in tuition and fees. You realize

01:27 don't you? What is it? a year? No, $100 a

01:32 , something like that. Yeah, like that. $200 a year.

01:38 so they're giving, giving me back you paid, you can, you

01:41 uh have that back. But they said, Fred, I, I

01:46 can't hand it back. So everybody expect that so could you kind of

01:50 make it a, a reward? uh in other words, they won

01:55 . And so I have to go and do this as a reward to

02:00 one of you. So if I you beforehand and if you score well

02:05 it, you potentially can earn a of dollars. That's my story.

02:12 , I wanna believe in it. see. Ok? You heard

02:17 didn't you people away from home? is a chance to earn some big

02:23 . OK. It's like crypto It's crypto OK. Velocity of an

02:32 medium purpose of the rock. different purposes. Uh Let me see

02:44 I can't get that. Uh Relate physics importance to seismic amplitude review

02:55 that control velocities in rock, examine these effects can be estimated this part

03:02 the articles. You're right now, Wang's article, the three summary

03:06 I really think you should kind of those again if you haven't read them

03:11 this time after my lecture just concentrated little on it because it it's

03:16 Uh even as a geologist looking at interpretation, you always wanna know,

03:20 , how could that change? and knowing a little bit about the

03:25 can tell you a lot, all have to ha have is uh see

03:29 I had fractures. This is the this particular would look. So develop

03:36 to predict velocity away from the But like it basically what we're here

03:42 . I, I always tell the you're here for what the geologist ask

03:46 what ifs. And so let's see we can't get, develop some answers

03:51 those, what ifs because they're gonna them and they should, they're the

03:55 that have to be able to portray back to the management. So there's

04:00 many ways of doing this. We've field investigations in order to verify what's

04:06 . Laboratory measurements, we have physical and laboratory, we have theory,

04:13 malls and we borrow from other sister , rock mechanics, fluid form,

04:18 et cetera. When I was in , I remember the chairman of our

04:26 says no more damn physical models in lab. Whoa. And the reason

04:34 he had one student that was studying and he would build, build a

04:41 model. He would take a not . It's 44 gallon Farrell, put

04:49 pipe in it, start filling it of concrete fracture, some of it

04:54 more fracture, for more fracture fractures the borehole. Well, there's 1050

05:01 , 5044 barrel drums each weighing about and he just lets him sit there

05:09 his degree and walks away. That one episode. The other one was

05:16 one who studied physical modeling and he he wanted to see how the waveform

05:22 as it propagates away from the So he went into this one room

05:31 he built a wooden circle, wooden corral call it and he put his

05:40 was about 10 ft in diameter. a borehole, a tube down there

05:46 start pouring tar and then let it . Then he put his receiver in

05:53 source in there and have another place there where he dropped receivers in,

05:59 didn't have to be a board, dropped them in and held the wires

06:03 that it later record. And they're very distances. So there is this

06:07 ft diameter and he has all this with tar up to about 4 ft

06:14 . Now, that was during the , he goes home to visit during

06:20 summer time. Meanwhile, another entrepreneurs graduate student is building a model and

06:28 needs some wood. So it goes and he takes the sides off of

06:32 tower model and said, oh, solid. No problem. Only it

06:38 hot in the room in the Even in Colorado, the tar melted

06:44 they couldn't even open the door because door opened inwards and all this tar

06:50 banged up against the door. They had a chainsaw, the doorknob in

06:57 to get in. And after a of those chairman of the department's number

07:03 physical models, we've had enough. here's an interesting note here until the

07:16 fifties, the objective of Velocity Studies to find a substitute for checks shot

07:25 used in time depth relationships. Anybody hear of a check shot survey

07:31 You know whoever check shot survey, shots. You ever heard of

07:37 You ever hear? Do you ever of a check shot survey? Have

07:43 ever heard of one? You it's, it's right. Check

07:47 sir. You did. Ok. checks out survey is after they get

07:55 drawing a well, they will go lower a geophones to the bottom of

08:01 hole. And up at the top , they have a vibrator and they

08:07 vibrate and they will measure the time takes to get down to that.

08:12 at 19,450 ft, they then move geophones up. 200 ft is a

08:18 number and do this again every time measuring the travel time to a certain

08:25 until they come up to the surface called a check shot survey. Sometimes

08:31 distances are 500 ft in between. , another thing if you wanna get

08:37 , very accurate, they do what's A VSP. Instead of having 200

08:44 separations, it might be 25 They do eight times as much.

08:50 when they do that, they usually a cable that has 2030 geophones on

08:59 . And that makes the, this go a lot faster and they pull

09:04 . So what they have is they the depth and they have the time

09:09 takes to go to that depth. they can actually just multiply the times

09:15 two and they have the time to down and back again. So now

09:20 go to their seismic data and they a reflector, they measure the time

09:25 the seismic data. They go to check shot and say, who comes

09:30 ? What depth are you at? they get the depth that they're at

09:35 ft and they go to their their log and they look at the

09:39 and say, what's it? 18,400 ? Oh, that's the Austin chalk

09:45 in the top of it. So they've been able to correlate, they're

09:50 logged data to the seismic using the shot survey. So that's expensive.

09:57 the way, it's extra time that have that rig out there pulling up

10:04 GEO phone and it takes time. Typically though they could do one in

10:10 day. But when you start getting VSP type, now you're spending a

10:16 of time when a Sonic log though developed, it was realized that ferocity

10:23 to velocity and the Sonic log could used also. Now, in order

10:29 do quote like a check shot they could use it to find out

10:33 they are. But more importantly with Sonic log, they could make a

10:39 seismic data. They can make a seismic map which they would then take

10:45 correlate to the seismic data that they telling them now where they log is

10:52 to the seismic velocity of an ideal . OK. When you have the

11:04 , which is a P wave motion here you go ahead. If I

11:14 my hands, what reaches you first a compression, I'm pushing particles away

11:23 you. And that's represented by this portion right here. And then of

11:28 portion then following that you have a fraction because if I push particles to

11:33 , there's gonna be lacking some little back and compression. So this would

11:40 a peak at compression trough peak so . Now this is when what's called

11:47 acoustic wave. When I do it the air, there's no sheer wave

11:53 in air. Because when I come , if I wanna generate shear wave

11:58 , the propagation is going that But shear wave says the particle moves

12:03 way. So I can't do this get the particles to move back and

12:08 like this as it propagates over there there's no rigidity in air.

12:15 this is the ground motion for a weight, it travels back and

12:20 going up and down like this. see more on that a little bit

12:27 . You can have a motion that's like this. And when you

12:35 what does the p, what would P wave see sitting there? If

12:38 have a sensor, I should say and it's a compression going that way

12:44 wave, this is the motion you . If it's a sheer wave going

12:48 this, you can go ahead and a sheer phone, it sees the

12:52 motion. Yes. Why? what is the motion of the P

13:08 S with linear rotation? Both? . What's rotation? Oh OK.

13:22 this is a linear type of emotion back and forth because it's all along

13:29 straight line. OK. And this rotational and it's kind of hard to

13:41 to visualize. But on the sheer here, when I am at this

13:50 , right here, if I look this line and if I look at

13:55 box, the box is distorted now has the same volume, it's just

14:03 in this direction. And then a later, it's distorted in that

14:09 So at one particular time, that little vector goes like this and then

14:15 on this way, it's going back forth. So at this one

14:20 at that one location, you get and forth and I can measure this

14:24 here and I can measure that angle , right there. And it's a

14:30 one time, it's minus 10 degrees it's plus 10 degrees. So you

14:37 actually a special phone called a rotation , which are popular among the

14:45 They are extremely expensive because they're homemade . And there are 16 to

14:53 They were, that was 10 years . I don't know what they

14:56 Now. That is. So you only the sheer wave and not like

15:06 motion right up here where I can P wave or shear wave and get

15:12 same motion on the phone. We want that. This phone rotation only

15:19 sheer wave. It will not measure the linear motion. Good question.

15:29 . Anybody go to an engineering engineering degree. Anybody ever take a

15:36 class in the in the physics Did you have strength of materials?

15:43 other words, where you're given a and you try to pull it

15:48 You never had that with the OK. I I, where I

15:53 to school, everybody got an engineering . Uh they had to take the

15:58 class as the first two years, three years almost and one is pulling

16:03 bar apart and seeing what the strain . And so you have a bar

16:09 they put a strain gauge vertically and and they pull the bar apart.

16:17 you have clamps on here and you it downward. The original length might

16:22 10 inches, you stretch it, one inch and that's an exaggeration.

16:27 break the dang bar if you did , but you stretch it one inch

16:32 for a number and one inch over inches is gonna be defined as a

16:40 and 1/10 has a value of So the strain is 0.1 that means

16:49 better be plastic because something that what you see here is I know

16:58 force. And if I divide that by an area, I have a

17:04 and forgetting about the fact that this not a vector, it's a

17:09 The force is the pressure is a field in one direction. So that

17:16 that this is dimensionless delta L over meaning that E has to have P

17:27 pos spur some pressure and E is a constant, an elastic constant part

17:37 Books Law. This is an empirical when it says Hoax Law, it

17:46 has to be defined. It's a approximation with Hooks. The law is

17:53 we conduct this experiment, E is Young's modulus. How big is a

18:06 ? Did I say? How much that vibrator weigh when it shakes the

18:11 ? £60,000 30 tons? OK. . That's 10 inches. Bury it

18:25 ft 3000 m 10,000 ft vibrators three , 10,000 ft away. It shakes

18:33 in time. How much does it this 10 inch rock? Oh It's

18:42 gonna strain it the 10,000 ft It's not gonna strain this rock.

18:47 , if it doesn't strain this rock don't propagate through it. Oh I

18:52 deeper reflections. Oh So this training . That's interesting. How much is

18:57 training? How much do you really this rock? How much do you

19:05 it now. I said I stretched by 0.1. You can compress it

19:11 0.1 too. But that's ridiculous. too big enough. So, what's

19:14 strain? Are you a graduate Are you in Geophysics? You should

19:20 this number. You're, you're right the rock physics lab, aren't you

19:33 from, from, oh, uh, yeah, full time

19:45 Surfer sws. You believe those surfer ? He's gonna get out of answering

19:53 question. Ok. How much do think you str straight in?

20:00 they say it's 10 to minus the 10 to the minus eight,

20:05 did not know what 10 to the six means. It's very same thing

20:10 , well, I'm fine. I'm to ask for a budget of $7

20:19 . 0 $7 trillion. Yeah, nothing. It doesn't bother you at

20:23 saving $7 trillion. However, if came along and said I would ask

20:29 a budget of $250,000 a month because relates to your salary. Now all

20:37 a sudden that's a big number. can relate to it, but instead

20:41 showing me that you can relate 10 the minus one but 10 to the

20:45 six, you can't relate to And that's why I put the bottom

20:48 the screen on the Viber size What's the strain at 3000 m?

20:55 of taking a core, think of a core, 100 m long.

21:07 on the football field laying on the ? No, take one end of

21:13 and make it solid and go to other end of the bulldozer and push

21:18 end of the core. How much you have to push it? The

21:23 of this paper is all, you to make this the width, not

21:27 way, the thickness of the that's all. Now 10 to the

21:32 eight, you have to squeeze it the thickness of this paper. All

21:39 a sudden 10 to minus eight means don't string that rock at all.

21:45 yet our Geophones measure that our geophones the capability of something like 100 and

21:56 DB. I forget what that It's like uh two to the 22nd

22:04 wherever the hell that number might And it's a marvel that they were

22:11 so many years ago. And yet sensitive young is margins. Y'all.

22:19 we ready? We is the Did you get the boat? Did

22:25 get the boats lined up? good. Just you talk about the

22:34 . No, no, the, , the, the, the percentage

22:37 the shape, right? So, your imagination, what's the size of

22:46 QB nine? He said is, know that the change is 10 to

22:53 six or minus eight. So what's size of that? You can the

22:57 of, well, everything strain the amount 10 to the minus eight.

23:02 it's a big cube, it's 10 the minus eight, it's small,

23:06 10 to the minus eight. So frequency will not influence your straight,

23:13 frequency we think is not really influencing drain. No, except in surface

23:21 because they're going deeper, the lower frequency like very down to the 3

23:29 3000. So they were all straight to minus 6%. And ok.

23:41 , if you have something at 6000 , 15,000, they all are going

23:51 switch. Ok. Here's your, call it an effective medium. In

24:00 words, a wave is gonna hit and effectively, it thinks of it

24:05 a big surf, big area. I have an effective medium, the

24:09 of this room and this wave hits . It's gonna shrink it down 10

24:15 the minus eight and that's very, small. Now take something that's this

24:24 at the same depth, it's gonna it 10 to the minus eight.

24:30 , it's just linearly proportional. Want do it, the change of the

24:40 of change the shape, the frequency normally think of the frequency. It

24:51 not proportional to the ST the Yeah, it, it's still 10

24:58 the minus eight. Um No matter you use a high or low

25:08 that is very misleading. No, , I I'll tell you why.

25:31 at the break, let me look up. I wanna show you,

25:36 , when you say linear, when say constant frequency, the same frequency

25:45 Hertz as an amplitude of 120 Hertz of one. That's in the frequency

25:51 . What's the size of that And the time domain? The voc

25:59 , but this the thing is, they going to be the same

26:06 Awesome. Last Johnson Bossy. If say something, let me uh bye

26:39 . Um zero 200. Got Yeah and 30 hoarding 20 birds.

27:20 am specifying to pass the answer. is he of the 30 years.

27:27 is the 40 is the one for this band but it's three times low

27:35 . This damn weapon put three times frequency. That means that it would

27:43 like this same here. It's gonna like this question is what's the

28:02 Yeah, this is the problem we that what you like. That's this

28:10 but this has the same bandwidth as which it does you and have

28:18 1020 40 4081. This is this here. It's the same ration

28:29 What's the the? Well, this have been won. What would that

28:36 to they say there there that the too. You make this happen

28:47 That yes, it doesn't want in to block the man thing. That

28:57 be so this will be for. . OK. That's good. Very

29:10 . That sounds good. I I the answer is it has to be

29:18 . Yeah, something like that. . That's a good, good

29:27 So when you're asking what strain, you define frequency thing, what does

29:34 mean to activate them? So, so if I can answer that

29:47 no asses problem. Thanks. Now, after all, you made

29:57 do, are the boats ready for ? Yes, thank you.

30:05 It's been kept a secret. Geologists go and take a field trip.

30:11 go to the convention. They gotta on a field trip. Geophysics don't

30:16 a chance. Today we have a trip. The boat, the buses

30:20 gonna be arriving in about a half hour and we were gonna travel down

30:26 Galveston. We have the boats ready us and we're gonna go to a

30:32 uh offshore to the water depth is 300 ft. It gets right near

30:37 the shelf edge. Oh, the into the slope rather, I should

30:45 . And we have a rubber ball one of you is gonna take that

30:49 ball measure the diameter and then you're dive 300 ft and you're gonna have

30:57 caliper and at 300 ft you're gonna the diameter again. It's gonna be

31:04 because at 300 ft, what pressure you have on them? What's the

31:09 pressure at 300 ft? I always the rule of thumb. Half A

31:14 si per foot. It's probably 0.46 something like that. But a half

31:19 P ss I per foot means you have an additional 100 and 50

31:23 si on that rubber ball. you can measure the size of

31:31 So you're able to measure the change the volume over the original volume.

31:38 have 100 and 50 P si, gonna measure K, which we call

31:44 bulk modulus. And it's done under hydrostatic principle there. Now, the

31:50 I go give you that whole goofy is because even I hope there are

31:57 donuts, ok? Because everybody has first year of eating donuts,

32:03 And you've been lacking, we've been track. You're too behind.

32:08 you got pockets, the um Bach Goofy story. It's easy to

32:17 Fred told me a goofy story. , I know how Bob Mo Bach

32:22 is major. It's relatively simple, to do sheer margins, not so

32:29 because I could take this core in afternoon. We're gonna remove this acoustic

32:35 and right above it is a stainless flight detached to the ground. Don't

32:44 about that way. And I would the score and glue it to that

32:50 . And then with my dynamic I'm gonna adjustable hand, I'm gonna

32:56 it with the known force off to side, creating an angle and one

33:01 you will be given a oh my . I can't remember the name of

33:07 thing. Majors angles uh ProTrac or a protractor, but rather than me

33:14 degrees, it will be in So you measure this is radiance and

33:20 turns out it's gonna be a small . So that angle you measure is

33:25 the sheer strain. So here we've the sheer string and I know with

33:31 calibrated hand what force I pulled on sounds great, Fred. Except for

33:37 thing, the glue will give way here. OK. I'll clamp

33:43 There you go, clamp the, , you're gonna break the particles right

33:47 . At this end. We'll start break apart. Hey, sheer strain

33:52 not as easy to measure, is ? No. And this is why

33:56 go to the dynamic measurements. These the static measurements, the dynamic we

34:04 P wave and sheer wave in order measure the strain, I should say

34:10 sheer modulus velocity sheer moguls over the , sheer wave, sheer rigidity over

34:23 square root gives a sheer wave You notice this is an alpha and

34:28 is a beta and most of the literature you're finding P wave is always

34:34 sheer wave beta. Why? Very . It was named after the

34:44 What's the first arrival, the P called alpha first in the alphabet?

34:49 the second wave this she call it ? And that's how it sort of

34:53 about. It's my story and I'm with it. Hey, Fred.

34:59 , I had a question on the slide, if uh I don't know

35:03 you wanna finish. Uh, we're least I was having a little bit

35:07 trouble hearing you at some parts. uh what at the bottom there?

35:11 says, what is the significance of strain of 10 to the negative?

35:16 ? What, what was the answer ? OK. I, I started

35:21 give an analogy which is probably But do you ever listen to President

35:27 Biden? Mhm. And do you listen to what they say? The

35:34 versus the Republicans? And here's how goes, Congress Senate. I'm gonna

35:42 for a $7 trillion budget. That's , Joe. No problem whatsoever.

35:50 , you said, OK, it five last year. What's the

35:54 $7 trillion means nothing to you? this is the scenario that I used

35:59 the classroom. I'm sorry. But , but I'm gonna reward it.

36:04 Biden said, I'm gonna give a . I don't have a new

36:09 $250,000. All of a sudden, , just a 2nd. $250,000.

36:16 come so much? Because it becomes to your salary? And you can

36:21 the significance of the number 10 to A trillion dollars 10 to the

36:26 You have no idea what it It, it just doesn't register.

36:31 , the number 10 to the minus does not register until you give a

36:36 experiment which we did here to show m core only has to be compressed

36:43 width of a paper. I the thickness of a paper and

36:48 and that's 10 to the minus six . It's just a bump on the

36:53 . Now, the other reason is you only strain it 10 to the

36:59 six, think about this another way what if I put gas in that

37:09 and I had this 10 to the six. Hey, it doesn't take

37:15 gas in order to be 10 to minus six filling of the porosity.

37:20 just have to squeeze it a little and you're still safe. So

37:25 that's sort of analysis. It's a amount squeezing in there. Gotcha.

37:32 you so much. Here are the wave and sheer wave and just to

37:44 you, I can copy just as as anybody else. We see that

37:49 giga pascal is what they're usually given is 10 to the 0.4 or five

37:57 10 to the fifth P si when at 10,000 ft, you have a

38:04 SI in the water of about 5000 si and that's 34 mega pascals.

38:14 you see the values for K in , in literature, they are normally

38:22 in giga paal. And a lot times you say, oh, it's

38:26 to the fifth something or 10 to 10th. Assume their gig of pass

38:30 K would be something like 3230 for , 71 for limestone mu for,

38:41 quartz is actually a little bit larger the bach modulus. If I take

38:49 non porous sandstone made all courts, the K and the U values in

38:59 density, plug them into that You're gonna come out with something in

39:05 order of 20,000 ft per second would what a quartz grain propagation of

39:12 I think somebody gave me 19,900 ft second. When I asked for what

39:18 a sandstone velocity? And that's then the theoretical value using what they reported

39:25 literature for measurements in the lab? . Is anybody going for the

39:42 Yeah. How many papers do you to publish your journals? What's

39:51 Just one? Have you did You're a geologist? OK. I

40:00 the dean one time. That's kind interesting in order for a professor to

40:07 promoted and have a salary increase. many papers do they have to publish

40:13 year? Pure, pure review Three, five. What's that?

40:25 need? Three, three papers a as a professor? And who's told

40:31 that number? Ok. Here's the response. You're, you're, you're

40:40 on there on that. It all upon what department you're in. If

40:46 in biology, then the number of that he expects might be 20.

40:55 the reason why it, yes, your reason why you'll spend four years

41:02 at a particular formula. Some call new feed for cows and you will

41:12 that, feed it to cows and take measurements. That was for a

41:20 steer. What about a milk, cow? What about a rema

41:29 So you get all those versions and what about a squirrel? What about

41:35 , all of them should be All new new research he says,

41:40 that's why he expects a lot. says for math, these are sometimes

41:45 they write one paper in five it's good because math is so hard

41:54 get published. They are such elitists what could be published really, really

42:00 . It's, it's like why in of Houston, do we not have

42:09 members of the Academy of Science Geological ? Because the people that go ahead

42:16 select are people like from rice word Sot Earth Geophysics and we are not

42:23 earth geophysicists. And therefore if you on engineering geophysicists or exploration geophysicists,

42:32 not gonna get selected. Some of better paper research were done by expirationist

42:39 uh processing some of the algorithms were passed on. For instance, not

42:46 my smartness. One of my graduate , Tom Morgan, professor at uh

42:52 I now a research he did the transform migration by ST Madam and that

43:04 10, 100 times faster than the method. He went up to the

43:11 Institute where they're trying to work on S and cat scans and they had

43:18 process the cat scan and they were the old Kirkoff method and he introduced

43:26 for a transform stort method and all a sudden what we're taking them to

43:32 days to process cat scans, they're instantaneously. You get that running

43:38 they're seeing the pictures on the They couldn't believe that they wanted to

43:43 him an award and it was just but it's already been published for five

43:48 . And that's the problem. We steal enough in our science.

43:54 we we should be borrowing from other . We have examples. Poisons

44:01 Poisson grew up in the time of and some of the other great mathematicians

44:07 he said when you squeeze the it it also gets fatter. So

44:14 measured the facticity factor. The amount strained horizontally over the monastery vertically that's

44:30 post on ratio. And to get ratio from the dynamic that is propagating

44:45 is shown here. And if you get V PV S over the poison

44:51 exchange, the rate of the relationships to express poison's ratio using the sheer

45:01 the P. And comparing it to static measurement is no simple task.

45:07 G oh yeah, just a little of algebra bull crap. You get

45:12 thermodynamics trying to do this. It not a simple type of a relationship

45:17 go from a static into a I prefer poison's ratio. Leon Thompson

45:26 VP over vs. Leon one time I prefer VP over vs because you

45:35 have two VPs, two different P velocities, two different shear wave

45:41 And so using Poisson's ratio defeats the and we didn't tell him that Leon

45:52 engineers have poisons ratios in direction in this direction. And that two

45:59 too. They've had that for Uh not just one direction but Leon

46:06 up with VPOV. I grew up poison. He and I went to

46:11 together. Butch Poussaint was his Did anybody know Butch? Yeah.

46:19 . PSA was his dad's last His dad was a very rich merchant

46:26 songs. His dad was a meat . They called them butchers is a

46:34 cutter butchers and they couldn't call the new child butcher. They just

46:42 him Butch. And that's how he his nickname, Butch Poussaint. You

46:52 that story? OK. That's totally . My colleague for marathon heard me

47:02 that one time. And the next he brought me in a writing on

47:06 Poussin's biography autobiography. He said he come from a rich merchant family and

47:16 had a nanny and this nanny would to the market because she prepared

47:22 the meals every day and she hung on the hook in the kitchen and

47:28 had these overalls bib overalls where he straps in the back. She took

47:32 straps and hooked them up and he he'd swing violently in order to try

47:39 get off of that. He says thinks this is the why he spent

47:44 lot of time developing the laws in of a pendulum, which he did

47:50 because of his swinging back and forth a child. That's his story on

47:56 rich uh merchant. Ok. Enough that, let's look at theoretical

48:05 practical limits. Ho on ratio is zero to 0.5. Leon Thompson in

48:11 classical article on the leading edge said , no, no, no.

48:15 minus one to 0.5. Although anything zero to minus one is only observed

48:23 cer certain minerals that I think have be created in the lab. So

48:31 the way it goes. If you a volume and you strain it,

48:37 the volume and it has no ex extension, sideways voice on ratio is

48:46 . So as you squeeze it, it doesn't get fatter, your poisons

48:51 is zero. No, if you it and the final squeeze volume is

49:00 same as the beginning volume. Your sons ratio is 0.5. Now,

49:08 the questions. When you squeeze a like this blue box is squeezed,

49:16 doesn't get fatter, it only gets . What type of material can you

49:25 ? And it doesn't get fatter not at not rocks, just rocks

49:37 . A sponge. You take a and you squeeze it, it doesn't

49:44 fatter, you can almost squeeze it zero volume in what material that you

49:52 ? No volume change. And that's fluid. So we have two ends

49:58 zero, which is a sponge to . A fluid rocks fall in

50:04 So the rocks poisons ratio is between sponge and fluid interesting concept. But

50:11 will use this shortly. There's a other definitions. It's kind of

50:19 If you take a look at vs over P squared posts ratio, it's

50:28 like a straight line. And he here's what Mike wants us to

50:33 out is if you log gamma to vs over P squared, look at

50:39 way gamma is 0.5 minus poisons one minus point over sigma, which

50:47 Poisson's ratio. They're the same relationship you think of gamma is BVS over

50:53 squared. Ok. Now, how we make use of this material that

51:08 talking about? If I go ahead drilled down to 10,000 ft, 8000

51:26 and I get a bunch of sandstone and they measure the porcelains ratio,

51:33 gonna be about a value of And of course, it's gonna be

51:38 of a bell shaped type of a , but that's approximate where they're gonna

51:44 . Now, at the same time the same depth, if I measure

51:48 poisons ratio of shale, they're gonna very close to that of the

51:52 but they're gonna be a little higher ratio. A little bit bigger.

51:59 then finally, what about limestone? , bless that limestone. I don't

52:05 if it's a gift or not, limestone dolemite, they kind of sit

52:09 the range of 0.3 0.33. They change much. You have to get

52:14 , really high porosity for them to change it. Stick it around

52:20 No, if you take shell and and go shallower, what happens?

52:29 , as you get shallower, you in this direction because what's the

52:39 You can get a sand. It's the Rivermont Delta and you put a

52:46 in and you pull up four screen . That is the beginning of a

52:52 Sana. That's a fluid. It's go ahead and have a point ratio

52:58 0.5. So the shaller we get more of these two, these two

53:07 shaped distributions will come up to get to 0.5. The deeper you

53:17 the sandstone starts going down, getting and even smaller than 0.1. But

53:25 doesn't decrease that much. It kind stays there. It gets a little

53:29 less but the sandstone, it can way down here. Yeah, but

53:36 you put gas in the sandstone, goes way down here. Uh Hold

53:45 , Fred just a second. You you put gas in the sandstone.

53:49 was wa yeah, gas is up fluids are up here, not down

53:54 for it. Why we putting gas a sandstone make it get smaller poisons

54:01 and not a bigger because this is sponge down here and over here these

54:07 the fluids, the gasses sitting up that needs to be asked why.

54:16 answer it. Here's a plastic bottle with sand grains and water and if

54:27 squeeze it, push it down the which were approximately run, now start

54:38 flatten out. And what has happened as you're squeezing, these greens were

54:47 to take the space of the But the water says, no,

54:51 not, I'm not reducing myself for . Go ahead, make the bottle

54:56 bigger sideways. So it does and a water saturated water does not yield

55:03 space to grains as grains are they go sideways. Meanwhile, if

55:11 filled the same plastic bottle with gas the grains of sand and if I

55:17 them down, what happens? The doesn't get thicker. The gas san

55:23 take my space. That's OK. wanna get fatter, take my

55:27 no need to go ahead and make difficult. So the gas saturated,

55:34 don't get fatter. They act like sponge. When you look at the

55:39 entity, gas sands respond similar to sponge. Changes are safe vertically but

55:48 change horizontally. OK? Before we this, it looks like we're time

55:56 our my God. You deserve an , you know that God Stewart Rob

56:12 is the director of the Seismic Acoustics , right? Or a GL

56:20 When it was first started, we doing 3D modeling 3D analysis.

56:27 we thought we were good. We theoretical models migrated in 3d, made

56:33 model migrated. So we thought, think about thinking. And so we

56:40 a helmet and we put transducers all the helmet and we went ahead and

56:48 to go ahead and migrate the the respon electrical responses to see that

56:57 concentrate at a particular spot. But , you gotta get somebody that's thinking

57:04 the time. Unfortunately, graduate students a meandering mind. They don't concentrate

57:14 effectively unless they're asleep and you want in deep sleep. So, what's

57:22 best time to get a graduate student deep sleep? 20 minutes after

57:31 And you haven't gone deep sleeping? , I congratulate you folks. Let's

57:35 a break now. Ok. and it's sh she, you can

57:48 II I screwed up again. You there'll be a set up and you

57:58 , yeah, that's it. So can drag to this to the other

58:03 they would block now. They will block you. Ok. Oh,

58:07 , you can hide it too. . Yeah. No, I could

58:15 this in. Can you see my now? Yep. You can.

58:38 . All right. This is a . By the way, you'll need

58:43 , quarter sheet. Of paper and might want to close your books,

58:57 . That's a really big yawn for early in the afternoon and it's well

59:01 the 20 minutes. Wow, this taken directly from the W paper.

59:22 is one of the rules of thumb probably one of the rules of

59:31 That's most important if you want. can say this another way,

59:38 rocks with a higher clay content have blank, low seismic velocity and they

59:46 have a higher or lower seismic Think of it that way. Take

59:50 word properties and put velocity there. might make more sense. Rocks with

59:57 higher clay content have a seismic velocity bigger or lower than rocks with a

60:06 clay in them. That's what it's to put velocity for properties when

60:12 when we email it. Are you with just typing it in to the

60:17 ? Well, as long as I the email, if that typed

60:20 you can just write the word higher lower. That's all you know,

60:24 don't have to attach, you don't want us to attach like just send

60:28 an email with the word higher or and a piece of quarter sheet of

60:33 with higher or lower. It's all need. Yeah. No.

60:49 No. ST and give this to . Is she here? Yeah,

61:08 think it's that one. You right . Yeah, I ended up emailing

61:20 the one this morning, I was wait to come in and just do

61:23 in person really quick. But since said something about me, what do

61:29 want me to do? I forget I was supposed to do. I

61:32 , I can tell you that there's , what's the answer? Uh The

61:37 was velocity and then the TB is solo for the first equation and the

61:44 was the, no, the name you think that's right? OK,

61:53 . You also emailed me, didn't ? OK. No. OK.

62:01 have to take a class on how make a quarter sheet of paper.

62:11 did some good though. What's No, I spent a whole a

62:20 five minutes explaining how to make a , folks, it's to write one

62:47 does not take five minutes. You to see the word exercise now and

64:21 am wiggling my pan around. Got . Thank you. OK. Now's

64:28 time to make some money, All right. Have you known each

64:35 ? More than two days? You a night? No, you

64:40 Taylor doesn't know anybody. Procida. don't know anybody either. Yes.

64:45 know nobody. OK. I can't you but maybe other people can.

64:52 . II I know. OK. I told you you have to earn

64:59 . Now there are 14 of I can't take answers from all

65:03 So we're gonna have to go ahead select one and I thought first of

65:10 . We need a game. there's a lot of people here that

65:16 be from other places in downtown So I'm trying to select a game

65:22 known worldwide. Like Who Wants to a Millionaire? Ok. So what

65:29 do? 14 contestants, you select person to represent you to make all

65:34 money. So can you select one among you in order to make all

65:41 money? I can see. We champions in each division here. Division

65:51 sitting here in the room. Division sitting on the web. So on

65:56 web, uh Kelly, you're the of organizing your committee to get a

66:06 to be the one to answer the . And does that mean I here

66:17 Delrio, you're going to be our to select the person among your seven

66:23 who do you want to select to the questions? You can ask other

66:32 you ask for volunteers if you want , somebody might volunteer. Anybody wanna

66:41 . Now you're gonna make me pick Taylor. So sorry, you got

66:49 . You got somebody. Yes. that? I, I've been

66:56 You got somebody select. OK. . OK. We have a selection

67:02 division B. Taylor was volunteer. a good way to put it.

67:15 gonna help you Taylor. We have now you can help. Sometimes I'll

67:21 you when you can help. Do have somebody here from this group?

67:32 can do it. Ok. Now got two people, we gotta select

67:39 . We have the Darrio who doesn't a face because she's not on the

67:44 . Uh, or you can sit this chair and the other people can

67:48 you because we can see Taylor. wanna do that? Ok? You

67:53 wanna do that. Ok. I'll you what I'm gonna do. I

67:58 write a number on a piece of . Each one of you are gonna

68:01 the number, whoever's closest that happens be the, uh, one designated

68:09 going ahead. Uh, ok, wrote the number down Del Rey.

68:16 your answer? 1 to 10, day time. 1010, 10.

68:30 number is two, two. So real, it looks like you're gonna

68:40 making all the money. Ok? , remember if you lose, you

68:45 the money for everybody. Ok? don't want that to be any pressure

68:50 you. Ok? We're gonna play Wants to be a Millionaire and the

68:58 of money I'm not allowed to tell immediately. They will take income tax

69:08 of this before you get, receive check. So don't be upset if

69:13 happens. Ok. The way this is to be a millionaire, I'm

69:25 to give you a question and you four options. Normally to answer

69:33 you choose which one you want. by chance you don't happen to have

69:40 answer immediately. You have three You can ask the class person what

69:46 think it is and see what their is. Or you can ask me

69:54 randomly throw away two of the four or three. You can call a

70:02 . I'm not a friend by the . So in order to answer

70:05 OK, if we get, now here's the question, which arrow

70:23 move first when a hammer strikes this , assuming that the transmission of the

70:35 going through this plate is instantaneous. these coils start to vibrate up at

70:42 top, at the bottom is an . Five of them label A through

70:48 which one would move first whenever you that hammer on there. No,

70:57 see your thinking, which is Uh I'm glad you're giving me a

71:00 . Now you have the option. you one to ask the cla uh

71:07 the class, ask me to remove out of these five or call a

71:13 . I see she's deciding, I to ask the audience, she's going

71:18 have audience participation. I don't care you say. This is my

71:22 You, you too. I, play fear, my fear.

71:31 So audience raise your hand. Let get the other audience. Everybody

71:37 audience, 1234, I need somebody . 1234567. Those who think number

71:56 or I should say I can't get here. Let's try this one.

72:04 a will move first. Now, me tell you what these are

72:10 is a piece of plastic that you in there like a, what do

72:16 call a slinky type of a And B is the same as

72:23 except the plastic is replaced with steel Bot. Modulus C has a lot

72:34 rungs in it. Then B D replaced all empty space with glue and

72:46 is a solid rod. So audience , raise your hands. Who thinks

72:56 would be the first to move? your hand. OK. Over there

73:01 have that mot OK. In this ? A OK. Let me make

73:05 total of that total for a was was just gonna get OK.

73:10 OK. How many think B would the one? Oh OK. C

73:26 thinks C would be it? Are sure think closely folks? What's

73:41 OK. We got 10 Thanks we got one. We got at

73:45 one. That's right. D who it's de anybody? Raise your

74:00 OK. We have none. And does anybody think E is the

74:10 We have? 1231234, just What material is a plate made out

74:38 ? What's that? What material is plate made out of the plate is

74:43 out of what we call the fastest . In other words, it's

74:49 We make sure these all start going . This experiment has been conducted

74:58 Times successfully. Ok. Del what it is is you have one

75:10 sea and 13 through whats your E she selects E do you wanna

75:20 a down as your final answer? answer is E ok. Now you

75:28 have my notes to see what the is. Ok. The answer is

75:43 first to arrive is E now, , why is e the first to

75:54 ? But over here we have a that's made out of plastic and it's

76:00 to vibrate back and forth. If ask what velocity is related to,

76:08 related to the bulk module and sheer . When you go from plastic to

76:15 , your bulk modulus increases. So is faster than a now C you

76:24 more rungs in there having more Basically, you have a stiffer

76:34 It's like the new spring you put your back door and when you open

76:40 in the beginning of the summer, better get your butt eye fast or

76:44 gonna come slamming back on you really D is I try to make something

76:52 no void. So put glue in , but it has the same stiffness

76:56 greater than the steel in the Finally, it's a solid, it

77:06 no holes in it. So it no holes in it. It has

77:10 weakness. It's gonna take on the material, which is all steel.

77:16 the question you're saying is I know much money we're gonna win Fred.

77:21 how is this related to the lithology poor fluor? So we go back

77:27 this again and we see a, a sand. It has a high

77:35 in its gas fill. And then keep the high porosity in the

77:42 But we change the lithology mineral to line. We now have a,

77:47 limestone sitting in there and that has higher bulk modulus, 71 versus 65

77:57 42. 40 are just saying, , I had the same material,

78:03 steel gas still in there. But lowered the porosity. When I lower

78:08 velocity, I increase the velocity. seen that many times and then we

78:15 ahead and we go from gas too . Now, we have a stiffer

78:23 in the pore space and it's gonna faster. Finally, you have a

78:29 rod that we think is the fastest we know it is, we put

78:36 steel rod on the table, you your ear on one end and somebody

78:40 it. It's instantaneous. You can that. Heck, you put the

78:45 rod on the floor. Take number here, which is a, a

78:52 slinky and you pull it, you walk faster than the back and

78:58 goes down the length of that So the answer is number East and

79:07 now has shown how the lithology was . We went from sand to the

79:16 . The porosity. We go from to low porosity and the poor

79:22 we go from gas to wet and is the three petro physicals properties.

79:29 think of nothing but a spring Ok. Very good. Second.

79:50 me get up water. Oh. , thank you, ma'am. I

79:59 it. Anybody run into construction this . Coming over here. Anybody take

80:17 10, I usually did. I to take, I spent an hour

80:25 to figure out which is the best to go. Here are some of

80:35 factors that are affecting velocity. A overview. It, it it kind

80:40 summarizes some of the stuff that Wayne in his article in the summary,

80:48 instance, velocity is always on the axis and I change the property the

80:54 and the X axis, for fluid density, light gas, heavy

81:01 , really heavy water now and as fluid density increases, so does the

81:11 . And you might think this is Fred because in that equation, velocity

81:19 equal to square root of rock moduli density. It seems if you make

81:27 rock more dense, it should be because you divide the rock moduli by

81:34 density. Oh What happened to that ? Velocity is equal to the square

81:44 bulk modulus plus four thirds sheer rigidity by the density. So if you

81:51 by the density, if that density bigger, the velocity should get

81:56 But here it says the velocity gets . Why? Because as you change

82:10 pore fluid, you're changing the bulk of the total rock. And as

82:17 turns out, as you add that bulk marginalized gets higher. So

82:23 rock properties are getting higher, faster the density is getting increased.

82:32 When we look at that velocity, , we see things like cool and

82:39 of the places you, I gave an example where the coal was so

82:46 . I mean, it's like 7000 per second. The sands and shells

82:51 14,000 ft per 2nd. 2 to . The density of coal is so

82:58 . 1.2 g per CC compared to g per C for the sand and

83:06 , cool sunlight and almost floats. as you get denser material, the

83:18 mogen light gets faster, bigger dole be and the fastest now age and

83:29 we should have separated. These should these one at a time. So

83:34 do an experiment, other experiments. lot of experiment. Here's my favorite

83:39 property. This is a rock right . That's my test specs. And

83:42 I'm gonna do, I'm gonna bring a piece of electric crystal put on

83:46 of the bottom, spark, the on the top and see how long

83:50 takes to go through and that you're take that time divide by the length

83:55 that rock specimen and go ahead and that as my initial test.

84:03 you can join me in this I wanna go ahead and leave and

84:06 back in about 25 million years. what we're gonna do is hope the

84:13 doesn't rise and the building doesn't get away and run the experiment again.

84:18 you think I'll get the same result be faster? Should be, it's

84:22 , right? Why should the Why shouldn't I get a,

84:26 a faster velocity? I thought older had faster velocities and I'm gonna wait

84:32 million years. So why should my be faster? Seems logical to

84:41 You believe it when you read it , walk faster velocity. Yeah,

84:45 why it's not the age is it could teasing us? We're damn,

84:53 trying to get a nap and you're keeping us awake. Ok.

84:57 the rock is faster after 25 million because it's deeper, has more compaction

85:06 it has more digenetic change. There's calcite silica deposited from the pores so

85:14 this contact now you don't have a space for the grain. It's solid

85:19 through there. Now, as far the age is the depth is

85:25 we find rocks that are like the rock as a function of depth.

85:30 velocity is almost linear right here. just only at right about here.

85:36 top does it actually start with a curved surface? But that's actually kind

85:42 hard to measure because we don't get velocity readings up shallow. And

85:47 I really don't know, is that interpretation of what the log should read

85:52 is that really what the velocity No, we come across these very

86:00 rocks and something interesting happens at the beginning, the velocity increases fast.

86:07 then after a while after a certain , it kind of flattens out.

86:11 what's happening at the initial stages that to be the cracks, the micro

86:18 are closing at a certain depth like kilometer, maybe two kilometers. And

86:25 you get down to two kilometers, cracks are all close and the velocity

86:30 linearly now don hit water saturation. see up at this end here where

86:41 have all water, the velocity is high and then you just add a

86:46 bit of gasses the gas and maybe 10%. And all of a sudden

86:53 velocity drops quickly and then it kind stays the same velocity. It doesn't

86:58 how much more gas you put into . Why? Because once you put

87:04 little bit of gas in it, weakened the structural modulus of the rock

87:11 anymore it's not gonna matter, you've weakened it. And then if it

87:16 change, it tends to get faster you add more gas because you're making

87:22 rock lighter and you're dividing by density Mar just stays the same, it's

87:29 by the density ferocity we all could the old log analyst who's in the

87:38 room all the time, ask And I said, oh yeah,

87:41 you increase the fro the velocity decreases as you put more holes in that

87:49 , you're losing its strength, you're the bulk moduli not cementation. That's

87:59 interesting one because as you have more , let's go and take a look

88:06 a rock like this. This is rock right here and here it has

88:10 grain, one of the grains now here's another grain and there's sort of

88:17 ring that touches one surface, that edge right there. What if I

88:23 cement all around that ring? So increase that contact there? Well,

88:30 soon, all the contexts are it's almost like a solid rock.

88:36 the velocity gets faster with more OK. The one you're all waiting

88:46 poor pressure, over burn pressure. one of the most important concepts in

88:52 about velocity is gonna be the differential often call the effective pressure. My

89:07 rock specimen right here, we're gonna an experiment. I'm going to go

89:15 and put this in a steel cylinder I'm just gonna squash it from the

89:23 . And as I squash it, grains get closer together, they start

89:29 flatten out. You're getting more area , the velocity gets faster. So

89:37 more overburdened I apply to this, more the greens are gonna get smashed

89:44 faster the velocity, but you gotta there because now that steel cy

89:51 I'm gonna start pumping in fluid and pump that fluid in. And when

89:57 do that, I increase the pork which pushes the grains apart. So

90:04 I reduce the velocity because the grains getting pushed apart. So it's not

90:10 the over burn pressure and or the by itself, it's the difference.

90:16 the overburden minus the poor pressure gives what's often called the effective pressure.

90:24 that is what determines what the velocity going to be. And mostly in

90:31 R report. As far as the san ratio is concerned, usually the

90:39 clay you add as our little quiz the lower the velocity but not always

90:46 will show you when Pr Z summaries Wang had in his article and also

90:58 Eth writes in his book. That's good book. By the way,

91:02 you're interested in quantitative interpretation, it's older book. Now he comes out

91:07 Stanford. That's an excellent job. good. Now, in this

91:14 we see lithology is a description of rock's physical characteristics, is a little

91:19 hand lens and I put up at top 34 stars and these actually represent

91:29 phys properties. So in rock what's the most important in rock properties

91:36 the lithology and the porosity. the poor shape. We'll hold on

91:41 that as far as the fluid properties the saturation. These are the very

91:48 ones that's the most important then the oil ratio and the fluid type,

91:54 the API number is important over the . It's the net poor pressure that

92:02 no a guy by the name of his name? Fred Guide to Stanford

92:15 started Stanford lab Amos nor he developed for the lab, wrote books,

92:25 cetera and it was very famous for the articles published that write all the

92:34 in the book. He kind of Stanford and oh, he was

92:39 he was everything at Stanford sharped up he formed a company and it's one

92:44 in Houston. I think it's called . And what he does is take

92:51 and makes CT scans of them at high resolution and gets the poor shaped

93:00 . And from the poor shaped he predicts the rock properties and the

93:06 thing that he said, he forget about everything that I wrote,

93:11 said, but really cos is the shape, that's the bottom line.

93:16 tell me what the poor shape that's the most significant. But it's

93:21 something we can't describe very effectively. not easy to describe. So we

93:29 back to these other ones sitting right . OK. Stanford also gave us

93:36 idea and I gave you a program do this and that is, can

93:44 predict velocity? Just knowing the porosity one location. What do you mean

93:55 that? You know that sandstone you looking at on your, well,

94:00 had a velocity of 10,000 ft per and a proxy of 26%. What

94:07 the velocity be at capacity with the ? 30%? 22 2018? What

94:13 , what would the velocity be? I'm making predictions of what the velocity

94:20 be based on one data point. that source centers around Stanford saying you

94:30 two different curves that you're gonna get a sorting curve and a digenetic

94:37 The swing cur depends upon the depositional . And give me an example of

94:46 in the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico, have Turbos, they get down and

94:52 off into the deep water or on slope, they cut channels. And

94:59 you go ahead and look at the in that channel, you will see

95:04 32% porosity. And uh that's Sam go up to the levy and it

95:11 down to 28%. But the velocities almost identical. Why? Because the

95:21 thing was the depth, the differential and the depositional environment. That is

95:30 of the trends that they define. I show you later on how to

95:34 generate these with a lot of wells the meanwhile, if you wanna know

95:40 this particular, well, I got porosity velocity. But what if I

95:46 shallower and deeper what are the velocities be? And that is a digenetic

95:54 and that's the cementation age consolidation. are what change? And there's a

96:01 for that. And we give you of measuring that. Yes.

96:11 I do. What? On back one, the pro I would think

96:31 uh jail and they probably have number . OK. Um, let's

96:42 I used to have another one in where I did this, in other

96:49 , basic what, what normally it the cleaner, the sand, the

96:56 the velocity. That's the normal the normal case. But I,

97:02 was corrected in my thought by Doug when he went ahead and he made

97:09 template for reservoir characterization and he had clean sand in the shell. And

97:16 he says, if you start with clean sand and you add clay a

97:23 bit of clay, it'll go to pores. If it goes to the

97:28 , it increases their moduli, it the rock. But at some time

97:35 clay is now gonna be around the , the grain context. When that

97:42 , you weaken the marli of the . So you increase with more clay

97:50 and then each start decreasing it as add more clay. That's the philosophy

97:55 he was proposing on some of the that he built, we'll show that

98:00 on. So that's so, and other one is normally when you have

98:07 , the velocity goes down play. Sam? That's Wang's article I just

98:16 out Wang. You know, I no original plots. Hey,

98:22 Yes. Could you sorry. Go to that same slide. Can you

98:30 the water and gas saturation one more ? Sorry. Yeah. Ok.

98:37 . This is a classic paper. one wri written. Well, let's

98:44 back a little bit. And the sixties people and Shell said that they

98:55 doing it in 66 according to Mike , they were finding bright spots which

99:05 to gas sands and never see a events that had very large amplitudes whenever

99:13 had saturated with gas. And at time, Shell along with Mobile to

99:19 another big company BB brought back their in order to measure rock properties which

99:29 , they quit, they were losing that all came by the bright spot

99:35 was coming up and, and doing . Norm, Domenico reported on Amoco's

99:44 and what he pointed out is when add, when I have full water

99:52 the sand, this is 100% When I have full water. The

99:57 sits up here at 8000 ft per . When I add just a little

100:01 of gas, my velocity drops quickly to about, I don't know,

100:10 7000 from no 8000 maybe to And then it actually starts to

100:20 And the reason why is velocity is to the square root of K plus

100:34 thirds mu divided by the density. you add 5% yes. K and

100:49 are destroyed. Me doesn't really care the hell is in it for.

100:54 K, the Bach Mars, you've that and it's gonna stay low no

100:59 what other more gas you add, gonna be a, a low

101:05 It's ok. Decreases like this, quickly decreases the, and this is

101:17 going over, it quickly decreases. . The bulk matches quickly decreases a

101:30 bit of gas that added and then keeps going down. So that's the

101:35 value right there. Now, the this goes up like that is because

101:42 velocity is inversely related to the density the sand and the density is gonna

101:49 lighter as you put more and more in it. The sentence, that's

101:53 this goes up, the ball goes . Now that, that explains

101:59 the water saturation of the gas, here's a very important thing that that

102:05 . A lot of people didn't realize labs when you bring a sand into

102:12 lab, they wanted to satisfy gas equation. So they go ahead and

102:20 dry the sand out and they start a little bit of gas, a

102:25 bit of gas, a little bit gap until it's fully gas saturated.

102:29 they take measurements along the curve and wasn't satisfying gas man's equation. Then

102:35 realized something when they dried it, took away the irreducible water. And

102:43 when they're adding a little bit, when they start adding gas, it

102:50 has to have irreducible water. At very beginning, you can't get rid

102:56 that water. That water is part the skeleton and that was the initial

103:04 . So now once they've done that Equation can predict this right here.

103:12 don't know if I satisfy everything you for. No, that was

103:17 Um Yeah, I guess I'm confused . You said like as you add

103:23 and more gas, the velocity goes because the density is coming down

103:56 Velocity equal to K plus four thirds over the density K as a function

104:06 gas, excuse me as a function water. Then to all gas,

104:13 goes like this, it drops down . Kay does the bulk modulus.

104:23 you just add a little bit of . You got this thing now basically

104:28 in that range. But the density going to linearly decrease as you add

104:35 and more gas. So you make a smaller number, the velocity

104:41 And this is why when we looked the velocity, it decreases like this

104:46 then starts up like that. And effect right here is the density

104:55 Gotcha. No, that makes Yeah, I guess it was counterintuitive

104:59 at the velocity versus the fluid I have some slides on that.

105:04 . No, that makes sense. . What time do we break?

105:17 it time to break? I forget is. We had a break an

105:26 ago. Somebody said, what's the score? What can't you make it

105:36 faster? Tell real. She's wins this money. Now, she's

105:44 let's take about a five minute Hey, group, you're there

106:03 Let's go ahead and squeeze rocks. to them cry. It's always worth

106:09 lot of fun. Velocity and poor . Wow, this goes back to

106:19 . In fact, this, this uh by Hixson Bery at Mobile

106:26 I actually knew Jim Berry. The were take a core and the core

106:38 that they had at 17.6 ferocity and and go ahead and start squeezing it

106:59 overhead. So over burn pressure, starts off with the velocity of about

107:07 say, and you add an extra next year 1000 P SI and it

107:14 from 10, 5 up to add another 2000 P SI, it

107:21 up to 12 5. So as can see a great increase of velocity

107:27 the initial squeezing of the core and it's coming along and it looks like

107:32 gonna flatten out eventually, something like . And these initial squeezing could be

107:40 of the micro cracks until you get to about 6000 P SI or something

107:47 that right here. And that's corresponds 6000 ft depth approximately overburden. But

108:03 the same time he did something you try to keep the, try

108:10 keep the differential pressure the same. is the overburden minus the poor,

108:17 try to keep that the same. so when you have 1000 P SI

108:24 here, you don't add any pore . And then when you go to

108:29 P SI, you had 1000 more added and so forth. So the

108:35 is always 1000 P SI between the four minus the poor three, overburden

108:43 the poor in the velocity is relatively . Are there any changes if we

108:53 it again? For all of these in here, you can see even

109:01 up to 5004 or 5, 6000 SI difference. Of course, as

109:08 go up in the difference increases by P SI, they're getting smaller velocity

109:16 . You're reaching an asymptotic where eventually gonna be one velocity quartz velocity.

109:25 differential pressure over by, by overburdened four. And then there's another one

109:34 became famous for some Amos Nora's work one of the it's affected pressure and

109:40 is overburdened minus N times the pore or N varies from 0 to

109:50 No, the effective stress coefficient is thought to be very close to

110:00 It's also very dang hard to use real life because of the complication,

110:08 measurements you gotta make not an easy to do. I had a young

110:20 who did the study trying to major and we did it with P wave

110:29 shear waves and it was a dynamic . And we told people we know

110:38 gonna get all upset, start screaming and rating because and is supposed to

110:43 done with static stress strain. I , we know that but we're getting

110:48 same functional relationship for the end that get. I said, I think

110:53 not worth noting. And so she a very good job and we'll show

111:01 of the re not, these aren't results as some we've done earlier,

111:07 wanted to go ahead and show some of effective pressure. So how are

111:13 gonna do that? I contacted six companies that were drilling in the deep

111:20 and they go from 1000 ft to ft water depth here. And I

111:26 , would you mind going on drilling and then when you get done,

111:33 sure you get a good log suit and density and all the curves and

111:38 them to me. Oh, sure anything for the University of Houston.

111:44 with that and he got all those girls, six different wells. And

111:52 I plotted the data and what you're at here is each interval. I

111:58 it's 2 2500 ft. Yeah, is 1 2 3 4 5 6

112:06 2500 ft is per interval and this 500 ft. Each one of these

112:14 is 500 ft. And in this ft interval, I took all the

112:19 logs and measured the interval velocity in particular depth range right here. And

112:27 plotted the velocities and the green the green data that represents the average

112:40 . And you can see that on average, this isn't bad if you

112:45 of a guy up here smoking a to say, OK. Other than

112:52 , I don't think this curve is effective as far as giving me advice

112:59 the deep water. In other if I said that year, if

113:05 at a depth of 8000 ft, my interval velocity of my sin likely

113:13 be? And you look at this and say, oh yeah, that's

113:17 to predict. Come on a big inversion, something's wrong here and even

113:24 density same way. So I did wrong. Oh I know I took

113:32 the sediment. I should have done by itself and shield by itself.

113:39 that's not the answer. The answer really should have examined it separately.

113:47 the answer is no answer is, do you use for a depth re

113:54 ? All these were plotted as a of sea level. And this is

114:01 important concept here when you're in deeper , how your velocity is gonna change

114:10 velocity should be referenced to ocean How deep are you beneath ocean

114:16 And when you do that, these the curves that you get. Take

114:19 same six suites of, well L look what happens when you use ocean

114:25 as a reference rather than sea level and day difference. I feel very

114:32 in using this curve and for predicting my interval velocity is gonna be,

114:38 almost a straight line curve that you're there. The density a little bit

114:44 straight line. But down here, think we're beginning to get into possibly

114:52 sitting down here, possibly. But this one section, it's a straight

114:58 that's a straight line and it's the effective pressure is equal, overburden

115:11 N times poor pressure. Say this way fred from everything that we see

115:21 here. This is called normal What that means is the overburden is

115:31 P si per foot. The pore is about 0.5 PC per foot.

115:39 there are some spots that are called pressure. Some spot in the Gulf

115:45 Mexico will all of a sudden, poor pressure becomes really high, high

115:53 that if you don't put a heavy mud, you'll blow the top off

116:00 the crown, the drilling crown and sink your platform. There are two

116:07 types of abnormal pressure which we will examples of. But when you only

116:14 data that's above the onset of geo , which is the onset of abnormal

116:29 . What is abnormal pressure? You hear of that abnormal pore pressure?

116:40 normal pressure? Normal pore pressure is get down to 13,000 ft. That

116:52 normal pore pressure if at 30 if water and the particular sand can escape

117:00 the surface just and not by going any shell, their fault by so

117:07 the pressure at th the water pressure 13,000 ft is the same if it

117:14 just a continuous column of water. the poor pressure at 13,000 ft would

117:21 one half of that 6500 P si the overburden would be 13,000 P si

117:31 £1 per square £1 per foot Now, abnormal pressure, it means

117:40 you go down to 13,000 ft, poor pressure is not gonna be 6500

117:47 si, it could be 9000 B , it could be 3000 P si

117:54 you, you forgot about. You know about, well, 3000 P

117:59 doesn't sound like a big number until realize that's sufficient. That if

118:07 if it escapes and goes up the , it'll blow the rig hardly

118:13 It'll take all the pipe, shoot and mile in the air. It's

118:18 good air gun. Ok. why does that occur? Well,

118:27 think of two different mechanisms. One we call soft pressure and this

118:42 when you're in deep water, most the sediment comes from turbo light

118:54 sediment that comes off the shelf edge the slope and into the Epistle

119:04 And there's another turbo I flow on river meanders to another place.

119:12 look at that versus what happens on shelf. The Mississippi river comes up

119:20 a deltas form across the whole The sands are continuous, you can

119:28 it as continuous. So tite you can have a stand that only

119:39 a communication up and down that channel it has such a great chance not

119:46 be continuous. There won't be a path up to the surface. O

119:57 would that happen? Well, let's off. Let's go ahead and deposit

120:02 Sam and a shell and a And all of a sudden there's a

120:10 storm. Another Katharina comes, was the name of that storm? Katrina

120:21 , Catherine is my granddaughter's name. storm comes and it dumps a big

120:30 amount of material on top of this water deposit. And all of a

120:38 down around 4000 ft, you dump extra segment on it. And the

120:45 yells at stop. You put so pressure on me. My little tiny

120:52 that I have. You've closed I can't squirt any more water out

120:58 my sediment because you close them. don't have permeability at all. Not

121:06 the Nando. And you add more and it becomes tighter. Pretty soon

121:14 have a certain amount of water in shells. It stays that amount of

121:20 . It doesn't change. That water constant. So the amount of water

121:26 a shell is constant for thousands of , the overburden pressure minus the pork

121:38 stays the same. The effect of from when that shield, you know

121:44 I not permeable anymore all the way , you have a constant P wave

121:51 , it doesn't change. And some the deep waters wells, you will

121:57 16,000 ft of almost the same P velocity won't change. Now, that

122:05 what we call a soft or another that they use is a oh an

122:18 . What was the first words? gonna appear here? Thats if I

122:34 s a compaction, this equilibrium that and we'll go back. So when

122:48 have a compaction, desig the shell the watering and it holds the same

122:59 of fluid from there all the way , then we'll go back and look

123:03 the pore pressure. There's another one the Smite. The ill light

123:09 Once you get in a depth range 8000 to 10,000 ft depth, the

123:15 and pressure come about to start the age of the kitchen to cook the

123:21 . But when it starts doing the smite starts losing some of its

123:27 and it starts, it starts to two layers of water rather than three

123:33 plates, something like that. The gets denser, it increases because its

123:41 of water j then all of a it reaches the point or any more

123:56 from smack night to e life, poor can't handle it. They're not

124:06 anymore. And so the, but poor pressure can build up very

124:20 And let me show you that with little diagrams, here is over burn

124:28 , one P si per foot and goes down like that. Now here

124:35 how the static pressure, it's about half the P si per foot that

124:42 over burn. So this down at ft, it has a pressure.

124:50 poor pressure is 5000 B si. at this depth right here, I'm

125:03 say we have the onset of abnormal . Normal pressure is this blue line

125:15 . But now I said there's a here. And as the abnormal,

125:21 does that mean? That means this right here is this equilibrium. This

125:30 where the shale says I can't delete water anymore. So the difference between

125:38 overburden and this poor pressure coming about of this equilibrium, it's constant right

125:49 . It doesn't change ofd effective pressure change, the velocity doesn't change.

126:01 beneath the onset, you're getting this velocity for the this equilibrium compaction.

126:12 , at the same time, there's one right here. This is the

126:17 to light and what we note is effective pressure is this distance right here

126:28 the overbred and the poor. We over to velocity. And we know

126:33 put a velocity va call, call that affect the pressure that I have

126:40 here. That is the same as shallow. So if I know this

126:48 , if I know this effective pressure here, I can predict what the

126:54 is, but it goes the other around. You tell me what this

126:58 velocity is right here. And I'll you what the pressure is, the

127:03 of pressure. I know what the is. I can calculate it.

127:07 gonna determine this effective pressure by knowing velocity, I can go out in

127:13 area before I start and I will ahead and I will find an area

127:19 has a continuous always in normal Now, this onset of abnorm was

127:27 one area not in mine. I'll this right here up in the uh

127:35 apart on the shelf. So, now I have three different ways the

127:45 is gonna change. Did you ever of velocity analysis? Seismic processing?

127:51 you know you can get an idea the interval velocity is through seismic

127:56 Did you have a, do you that idea? Do you ever have

128:01 idea that maybe you'll be looking at data? Do you ever have the

128:07 that some time in your life? gonna be irresponsible to review this 3d

128:12 and geologically determine the best places to hydrog carbs. Is that a possibility

128:18 your life? So now we're gonna you a couple of things. One

128:23 when you order that seismic data and become manager, make sure you get

128:30 seismic data. What we're telling right is you wanna make sure that not

128:36 do you get the high quality migrated you want a volume of effective a

128:45 of interval velocity or R MS you want that volume. So you

128:51 determine where the onset of abnormal That's very important. Safety wise.

128:58 tells you the Strat gray tells you drilling hazard. It tells you what's

129:03 best chance where the hydrocarbons are. chance of getting gas is right above

129:09 top of the overburden pressure. The place it tells you if I have

129:17 particular status, which means it was smack t to ill light transformation.

129:28 effective pressure, if I wanna drill to there, my effective pressure right

129:34 here is very small. Meaning the pressure is very high. If you

129:42 ahead and you predict mud weight based hydrostatic and you drill down here,

129:50 gonna have this amount of poor pressure you don't account for. That's 3000

129:57 SI that is bad news folks. so you wanna be able to predict

130:02 . Now, there are people that this for a living, the people

130:06 do this for a living like Ralph colleague. I know at school he

130:11 when I make a prediction, I to be at the drilling location all

130:17 time. I live on that. made the prediction. I gotta live

130:21 while they drill through it. And you wanna be sure because that's your

130:29 . Yo I thought you were getting . I got her to get one

130:39 again, compaction, disequilibrium or Smite L light. Transformation over burn pressure

130:51 £19.21 per gallon. One P, foot. How to sta it's not

131:02 it's 0.433 P si per foot and £8.3 per gallon. Did you ever

131:12 of the engineering system? Oh Can believe these units? £8 per gallon

131:20 uses pounds, whatever happened to what do they call the other uh

131:28 or something system like that? Sae who uses a volume of a

131:42 How would you, why do you mud weight? This is mud

131:48 A pos Brion, the gradient is as mud way. So this right

131:55 it's £8 per gallon. You're on rig and you ask one of the

132:03 hands, take that gallon bucket, it out of the pit that you

132:09 with the mud and weigh it and get what the, you get the

132:15 way. 8.3. So at the beginning. That's how they measured mud

132:21 they just took over there. I know how much money put in

132:24 how heavy it is, how much rights in there nature. So you're

132:31 drill, you gotta select the mud . You select the £13 per

132:36 Good. It falls right in between two curves. And are there any

132:46 you might give? Yeah, there a couple you selected £13 per gallon

132:51 order to drill and it falls in these. Ok, at any level

132:57 in here, if the mud weight less than the pore pressure, the

133:03 fluids will flow into the mud. other words, if I happen to

133:10 coming down here and the onset of pressure and it goes like this,

133:18 is the poor pressure and this happens be the mud way that right there

133:25 less than this value here. So this depth, the amount of pressure

133:31 gonna be against the formation is less the mud way, meaning everything that's

133:39 the formation is gonna flow into the column and come out of the

133:46 So that's one of the things you against the other is you can't get

133:51 mud weight to be £20 because if get the mud weight to be £20

133:59 that's heavier, then they form over pressure. So what that means is

134:04 the mud is gonna break into the and push the water out. So

134:11 don't want that to happen either. you're mud weight falls in between the

134:18 and the poor pressures. Now, difficulties, we're gonna drill a well

134:25 a deep water. And when we that, a little problem begins

134:35 I still use 0.5 overburden. One right here coming down in the dotted

134:43 . That is one P si per . If you drilled on land,

134:48 would be your hydrostatic pressure. I your over bird pressure. When you

134:54 in deep water, the drilling program this depth right here. What is

135:03 overburden pressure? The overburden pressure at depth right here is going to be

135:13 it's going to be? 3000, P si what is the more pressure

135:28 be? The pore pressure is gonna 3000 P si in the water?

135:39 overburden is water in the water. pore pressure is water. So that

135:46 at this depth right here, your pressure is equal to zero. That's

135:54 same as having you drilling into the . That's right at the surface.

136:02 don't have any water. So what's velocity right there? What do you

136:13 the velocity to be right at the ? You're 7000 ft depth. What

136:20 of interval velocity do you expect to ? 10,200 ft per second? So

136:30 you are 5200 ft per second. that's up shallow right here. But

136:37 it's time here because when you have up here, your effective pressure is

136:43 same as this, affect the pressure here because your overburdened is the same

136:51 your pore pressure. No, this line is superimposed over here and this

137:01 the overbred pressure. And let's look the drilling program. The drilling program

137:12 , I'm gonna drill down to about ft and I'm gonna drill with £8.32

137:23 gallon. That's this blue line. , Fred, why don't you just

137:28 a little bit more? Go maybe . Well, if you go to

137:34 look what happens right at, right the surface there, you have mud

137:42 happens to be denser than the formation . That means you drill going slow

137:48 there. All your mud is gonna into the shallow beds. So you

137:53 through, you start here, you like heck this 1st 300 ft and

137:59 put a column down in there at chamber that might be thir 30 inches

138:05 diameter. And that's gonna be your seal, your upper uh pipe that

138:11 cement in to stop any of the flowing into the formation. It's very

138:18 at the very beginning because £8.3 you go over that by much and it's

138:25 start to flow on you. So , we in there basically blow away

138:30 shallow set of them, keeping air pressure on it and put the

138:34 up. Now it will get down say the 11,000 ft and at 11,000

138:41 , we now hit a poor pressure all of a sudden you gotta have

138:47 mud. It's more than this But the problem is if you go

138:55 and put a mud that's bigger, going to go through the formation up

139:03 . So that means you come down , you gotta put a pipe all

139:07 way down to this pipe. Then the 13 lemon pods. You can

139:14 drilling until you get to maybe at location right in here. And what's

139:21 happen is at this, well, this location right here, you're gonna

139:27 to have a uh increase mud weight near the need to have a pipe

139:35 all the way down to here. the reason that they have four or

139:44 log runs is because they gotta lay down in order to protect them from

139:51 formation fluid coming into the pipe or versa. Breaking the formation service.

140:09 just wanna check to see if anybody's over there. I've lost everybody over

140:15 . Yeah. Yep. They're not , they don't even mind yawning against

140:21 other. But that's ok. I up with it. I've seen

140:27 I don't know when though, but did. No, that's ok.

140:33 just stand up take about a three four minute break. Now it's,

140:38 getting close to kickoff time. We're gonna pray, sit down and have

140:44 , a prayer session. Oh, know. You want doughnuts rather than

141:06 , right. Stop. How much do we have? Left? Five

141:25 ? Ok. Is that empty? just eating the wiener though. Just

141:51 the sausage. I'm not gonna go , but I don't know why I

141:56 that. I forgot that your cheese that squirt on stuff? Their

142:07 Yeah, that's, that's that Shipley on Scott Street. You know,

142:36 , uh, subway shop. Scarlett Street, I used to teach

142:41 night from 7 to 10 and I'd over there and get a subway for

142:47 day. This is a couple of . Things like this happen. One

142:54 a, walked in and the young behind it. Connor was all kind

142:59 nervous and, and I start to to her and put my order and

143:04 said there's something wrong. Are you ? She says, no, I

143:08 what she said, well, the , you, you just passed,

143:10 just got done robbing us with a and I passed him in the

143:13 So I was coming in there is time and then it became a hangout

143:20 the high schoolers and they used to up right by the door.

143:29 uh, I don't, what, would we call? They would make

143:38 of you or not joke with uh, taunt you as you're walking

143:44 the door. And these are all school kids and it was girls and

143:50 both. So they were trying to each other. You know, that

143:55 , that didn't, is it And then it was, the homeless

144:03 come in there and sit on the of the door, either side.

144:11 it seemed like it was like the folks that they got mainly me and

144:15 of the other guy and they would for money as if you gotta pay

144:21 . And what are you doing You gotta pay me, you

144:25 that quick play over there. I , they are. Oh, I

144:43 know. So how many cartridges we left? Where are they from?

145:30 they from? B are they from six? Only two doughnuts left?

145:36 not bad. Those clutches suck Ok, folks, everybody's back.

146:12 want to remind you a little bit this drilling program and what happens at

146:25 onset of abnormal pressure. This dotted here that happens to be this equilibrium

146:40 . And this other one is smack to L light transformation. This is

146:46 the shelf. This is the deeper off the slope. But then show

146:54 if you're drilling with £8 per gallon so along here and you run

147:03 continue dumb. And if it's this pressure here, what is sure one

147:10 off the shop. It's very You miss, you miss it just

147:15 a little bit. So if you're with £9 you can increase it to

147:22 . 10 and not worry. But it's this right here, big

147:27 quick change, there's places where you from 10 to £16 almost immediately because

147:35 how much that poor pressure increases in to overcome the effect. Now,

147:42 that in mind, we're gonna look drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and

147:52 are about 17,000 wells that we have a database that we've edited and pretty

148:02 made it ready to make maps. instance, if you wanted to make

148:08 map of the interval velocity of sand seven and 8000 ft, you could

148:15 ask for that and it would happen a matter of four or five minutes

148:21 or if you wanted the interval velocity shale over that same thing or the

148:26 , certain grip or map where the were the hard, the uh or

148:35 A vo response might vary particular how it varies. You can make

148:41 these maps and we, I've done with students where we just come out

148:45 this and we have the patio and logs and we just come in here

148:52 correlate and make predictions of what happens all these well logs as far as

148:57 A bo response, their seismic response and without hydrocarbons. If I take

149:07 line north to south like this, the southern part, right here in

149:15 northern part on this side. Over , up here, I can drill

149:22 to 14,000 ft and be in normal and at 14,000 ft, I'm gonna

149:33 the smite to ill light transformation. , down south here at 4000

149:44 I'm gonna have a compaction. This occur and my abnormal pressure starts right

149:52 at 4000 ft. This is to smite to the light. And this

149:59 in here is it disequilibrium compaction. ? Up here in this region

150:10 you are looking at a patio self right here. And that means this

150:18 all deltaic sense. You can map when you try to map the sands

150:25 below, they're not continuous. You're at turb light flows. So actually

150:32 a map is not correct. It mean a lot because the turb light

150:38 are individual and they're sparse going around . But at the same time,

150:44 delta means that you have a means the shield when it's compressed to send

150:54 water up to the surface of ocean . Down here, you have mainly

151:03 lights, you're off the shelf And so by the time you get

151:08 4000 ft, you're squeezing shill and no sand to put it where to

151:14 and it's the shells impermeable. You here you can get quote impermeable

151:21 but you're right beside the sand and sand is gonna allow that water to

151:26 to the surface not done on this . When you hit the abnormal pressure

151:35 , it is big. You have have a lot of extra mud.

151:39 you hit it here, it's not bad. Now, here's what it

151:44 like. The logs look like. is a soft concept. So right

151:55 , I am gonna look at something this area right in here. And

152:03 I take one will the velocity increases much straight line down to about the

152:10 of abnormal pressure. The density kind keeps a straight line down to the

152:17 of abnormal pressure and the initial mud is 10 to 12.4. But now

152:25 interesting thing, the density remains constant the way down, velocity remains constant

152:34 the way down. There's no change the fun because the effect of pressure

152:40 not change as we showed you in previous slides. However, the hard

152:50 that is up in this area right here, that is where you go

152:56 14,000 ft. It's smite to ill transformation. And you can see what

153:08 . You go from £10 to £16 almost immediately. You velocity increases is

153:17 function of depth linearly till you hit abnormal pressure. And then look what

153:23 . The velocity decreases tremendously. That the effect of pressure has been changed

153:31 and that's where you need a quick of mud really fast. But an

153:39 thing that happens is look at the right here. The rock keeps getting

153:44 dense as we go down here. that's BECA and these are,

153:49 these are shells sitting in here because we can get rid of the water

153:57 in there. Interesting scenario. You're . You're getting more dense sales.

154:05 exercises. Now we're gonna go to who wants to be a millionaire candidate

154:21 she's gonna try to win you some money and you might wanna help

154:27 then you might not to see how has to squirm back and forth trying

154:33 make it answer this crazy question. here's the crazy question at point A

154:45 here. I find out that my velocity is 750 fee per second.

154:55 at 5000 ft depth over here at B, I'm at 11,000 ft and

155:04 velocity is 5300 ft per second. question is, how can you be

155:13 as deep? And the velocity is thirds. Why the poor pressure,

155:24 overburden is 4500 P. Si the here is greater 6000 and yet the

155:34 is less. So we have our who represents the entire department of eas

155:47 funding for the next five years. coming up with an answer. Now

155:55 might, she lost the candidate. lost the ability to ask the audience

156:02 she could, has to decide what do. Does anybody wanna try to

156:11 her uh why this occurs? Well, you're gonna have to give

156:22 , give me some numbers so I write it down. Tell me what

156:25 write, done. OK. Well, tell me you mentioned,

156:39 , what should, what should I down? You're, you're on the

156:52 what governs interval velocity in these unconsolidated ? That's half of it. What

157:07 the velocity? Remember it, it's poor pressure and it's not overburdened.

157:14 ? What? No, not effective pressure and what does affect the

157:21 ? Eagle? It's equal to the , man. It's the poor pressure

157:32 now. I gave you the overbred here. What's the poor pressure?

158:04 see you don't have this paint? you, do you have this

158:08 You do have a OK. Then out it's the effect of pressure and

158:20 equal to the overburden minus the I told you what the overburden was

158:30 P. Si now your 5000 ft . Well, it's the poor

158:40 half a pound for each foot. the pore pressure is going to be

158:47 P si there's no abnormal pressure on at all over here. Your 11,000

158:55 depth, half of that 5500 P , we find out that the effect

159:01 pressure on this night is 2000 P over here it's 500 P si.

159:11 we find out that this over here a much deeper, much deeper

159:20 Pressure. You wanna solve that than here? OK. No real said

159:32 , she's surviving. She claims she's a good, good standing for the

159:37 . She's holding her head up high around saying that she wanted me to

159:42 how many zeros behind that number. is gonna win. I haven't told

159:48 yet. She might get excited. her too quickly, depositional environment,

159:59 effect on rock properties. It's a idea. Let's see what the depositional

160:07 will have for a base analysis. I bet that they don't put in

160:13 basic analysis. Is anybody doing the analysis, sir? You are.

160:22 , you help me out if you this. OK. What's that?

160:32 , I don't, I don't know a basic analysis is. This is

160:37 some information. Maybe it helps is wells and each 6000 wells you can

160:47 200 ft intervals. So every 200 60 m, you're looking at 60

160:55 70 different attributes, things like velocity for shall the percentage of shall

161:02 samp the thickness of the sham normal values, etc velocity, gas,

161:13 saturation. So let's look at this picture if you ask for the same

161:23 from three th does anybody ever has heard of the Gulf of Mexico?

161:29 OK. Everybody there. He heard the Gulf of Mexico? Yeah.

161:38 , good. So at a depth 3000 to 4000 ft, we ask

161:48 the same percentage and the areas that the hot pink are 70% sand sitting

162:00 there. No, this is New Orleans. That's about 303 150

162:08 as the crow flies straight. Anybody an idea what this is right

162:23 Is this where Padre Island would That's the barrier island. No Potter

162:28 for the island. Ok. So high san percentage sitting there. Now

162:35 here, you got a blob of energy there, blob there, another

162:41 sitting over there. If I look this, this line right here actually

162:52 Texas from Louisiana or it might be up there. But what I find

162:59 interesting is look at this separation It looks like the Mississippi River came

163:08 blob, this out, moved and down blob that big sand out at

163:14 location right there. But overall the to 60% sand sits there at 3000

163:24 5000 ft. No, if I major sand deposit, what is happening

163:36 here? We had, somebody knows the Bear Island sitting in there.

163:41 wanna ask you for a little bit . This is the 5 to 6000

163:45 depth. And again, we have hi the percentage of sand and again

163:54 over here. Now going on land we, we can do this 3

163:59 44 to 55 to 66 to 7 the way down to about 12,000

164:04 I don't know if that would Maybe that would help make a map

164:08 something that would not for writing a , getting some work done that the

164:14 is available for use. But you notice the Shell ridge that's sitting in

164:23 , that few wells are jeweled in . I wonder why it's all shale

164:28 these depths. So we have a energy, they'll take deposits and then

164:37 have these longshore low energy and the sort of as a watershed. It's

164:49 half of the United States. over here in Texas, when we

164:55 45 different rivers that offer sand over 4/5 of Texas watershed. Not very

165:07 , maybe I'm wrong. But in analyzing this, we decided that we

165:15 two different depositional environments and so kind cutting it right there saying that's one

165:22 one side from the Mississippi and these the five rivers or so from

165:30 Now, let's look at the depth 7 to 8000 ft and the same

165:39 , very high sand percentage sitting in . And what rock properties will be

165:46 by this high S A percentage pros one. So let's look at shale

165:57 sand, the velocities. Do you any difference in the velocities at 7

166:03 8000 ft being sand and shell. much, they all seem to have

166:10 the same philosophy as Dan Dui. what about density? Now, when

166:16 look at density something strange comes out here, you have a definite break

166:27 dense material, not so dense. the other side, it's definitely different

166:35 what you're seeing for sand sitting in . And why is that? Let's

166:42 if the poor pressure is related, I look at the share percentage at

166:52 abnormal pressures. So here's a depth to 7 to 8000 ft and at

166:58 to 8000 ft, I'm showing you sand percentage. This red line is

167:06 the onset of abnormal pressure would occur 8000 ft. Notice that that abnormal

167:15 line, everything to the north. high sand to the south, not

167:21 sam. It's like this is a shelf eggs sitting in there with the

167:29 to debate again, what else is ? Let's look at the density.

167:41 is the same 8000 ft abnormal pressure and look at the density. You

167:46 more dense material on the north side on the south side. Well,

167:53 ? Because this is still sitting inside pressure, the shells are getting

168:02 they're leaking on the south side. shells can't leak because during that abnormal

168:10 zone that, that discontinuous, that's disequilibrium uh compaction. There's no path

168:19 the shells to dewater. So you shells that dewatered sitting on that

168:30 Now, does this affect gravity? mean, this is a significant density

168:35 if you look at the gravity map the SCG, you get some interesting

168:41 and that each one of these cyan represents five milligal. Did anybody ever

168:54 of Pierce Junction? Anybody ever hear Main Street in Houston? Anybody ever

169:00 of the Ashler Dome? Ok. Main Street by the Astrodome is the

169:06 Junction. And if you go across first junction with the Vermeer, you're

169:14 see a 15 milligal contour. This 15 milligal. So these contours representing

169:22 like a continuous salt ridge or salt sitting in there. And people

169:32 yeah, that's where the salt came , right? That's why you're seeing

169:36 . Ah But guess what, what these, these gravity contours also correspond

169:43 ? If I take the density I get these same contours don't even

169:50 anything. It's nothing but a density brought about by the abnormal pressure.

169:58 they take that into consideration? they ignore it, brought it to

170:02 attention but they ignore it. You have, when you do the gravity

170:09 , you have to take in consideration there is a place where the density

170:13 the sediments is significantly different above a line. And what does it

170:19 It follows the lines of the abnormal sitting in there. Major portions,

170:27 anomaly is density variation along along patio edge. It is not related to

170:35 salt movement that a lot of folks suspect in the Gulf of Mexico.

170:42 seismic folks is gravity data better for major sand deposits, shell notoriously more

170:55 than Sam. We'll see it actually on that. So here is a

171:03 percentage map versus gravity. These are high sand percentage, it's 7 to

171:10 ft. And here you have a gravity anomaly low and low.

171:18 guess where the high is major shell in here, the low major sand

171:25 , the low major sin deposit. we have high and low associated with

171:32 , enormous major deposit, maybe gravity to be re evaluated for its application

171:42 basic analysis. But not before you your interval velocity to try to find

171:57 is where are the onsets of abnormal . So the regional relationship of depositional

172:09 to rock property has been illustrated. about rock properties at the prospect?

172:17 you ever looked at those? Here three different curves. I want you

172:27 look at this green curve was derived probably around 2 to 300 wells and

172:39 was measured in abnormal pressure of the . So if you go ahead and

172:45 using this well, whenever we find pressure which tell the program stop.

172:52 it's to be applied, abnormal pressure , stop. So the world gets

172:55 new depth, the new depth would the onset of abnormal pressure. The

173:00 properties above that would be used. here is the velocity when you're in

173:05 pressure is a function of depth. , this was an interesting one.

173:11 trend, did you hear right This is the trend in clay rich

173:20 and this is for regional analysis. of these are both these are taken

173:25 hundreds of wells. Now, the curve, the green, the not

173:32 green cur the S and curve. I'm going to follow this lines.

173:43 Cyan curve comes ahead and it says you get in the gear pressure,

173:51 coming here pretty much a constant velocity that velocity goes down until it reaches

173:58 clay which shall regional trend and that stays put at that particular trend right

174:08 . So it's saying that there are of the fast and slow velocity,

174:16 least we see for the shell sitting here. And it also gives us

174:21 idea on is it clay rich or type of a shell sitting in

174:32 OK. Everybody's leaning back saying I it, Fred. Well, not

174:41 . Now, we're gonna take a at this area here and I'm gonna

174:46 you, you have just discovered a spot at that depth right there and

174:55 bright spot means you got gas in in your formation. So you got

175:01 in that formation. But the question , do you have the seal capacity

175:09 keep that gas in there. In words, if you look at the

175:14 of gas, is that integrity of seal still exist? Very important question

175:26 in this particular area, this is this equilibrium compaction. This is the

175:35 where the shell cried out and don't put any more on me.

175:40 can't stand anymore. I'm gonna start leak and then it became a permeable

175:46 that shall now you're going in and gas in it, pumping up the

175:52 pressure. Did it break the Do you still have a good res

175:58 has gas come out of that? you're just looking at residual saturation,

176:04 gonna be there forever. So a little summary, the effect of

176:19 , the forgotten parameter. And I think we pay a lot of

176:26 to these new seismic attributes that we generate mathematically without putting enough geological concentration

176:36 it. And that you as that's where you come in.

176:41 you have to take these different components say we need to consider this.

176:48 , you're getting all this inversion and getting a lower high one. But

176:52 does it mean? I think we to expand the attributes. They could

176:59 have done this to your seismic Now, one of the things that

177:05 find out about the affect of it, it controls Strat gray.

177:12 noticed that if you're above the effect pressure, you have sand if you

177:18 , you got more shall and we'll that over and over again. This

177:24 the Zilka example, made money. components. The hydrocarbon system are affected

177:33 effect of pressure. Your drilling program effective, your ability to predict poor

177:39 and mythology depends upon, are you a abnormal pressure or normal pressure?

177:47 other is when you're doing an you wanna display abnormal pressure horizon on

177:56 interval velocity section. This is call it stacking velocity. And this

178:19 a sort of an old type of approach. And this is depth or

178:26 going out here and you have these and what we do, we got

178:48 straight line coming down here and we a straight line coming right in here

178:54 these are the big contours and right , that's the onset normally of abnormal

179:02 . That's a point that you can map you got all your control where

179:11 fif 50 CD PS you'll have a that you can find from your velocity

179:20 , your velocity profile and contour that data is available if you ask for

179:29 . OK. Any comments there, time do we break? We break

179:41 ? OK. I lost my people the other room. Oh, there

179:48 are. OK. People. I one of you basic but see

180:01 think so something that, who did see that email? I bet you

180:11 she's watching the football game. You're gonna tell me she had an appointment

180:17 Saturday during my class. Ok. the score? Anybody know what is

180:29 ? 30? Who's ahead? Raymond ? 30. Why don't you change

180:36 then? Lie to me. Make feel good. We know you're watching

180:44 over here. Hey, how are ? Yeah. How's CJ do so

180:54 ? I got it on TV right . I, I haven't really been

180:56 it. Yeah. What do you ? CJ? Or Freddy?

181:02 What's that? Freddie baby? Pre day, all day, all

181:09 all night, do that or go the bar, right? I forgot

184:03 have to stop the share to get to another powerpoint. How much change

184:13 ? You don't need to stop I share your II, I don't

184:21 how to change. I click. . How do I get out of

184:26 powerpoint? You know, we and exc Oh, ok. I

184:33 Click that and you. Yeah. . Thank you. Ok. Uh

185:12 lady from Pakistan. This next one for you because it was your country

185:19 did this. I don't know how years ago. Maybe you can see

185:30 . Uh Can you read that that comes from Pakistan? Now, this

186:15 have been in the western Pakistan, I think it reached the eastern Pakistan

186:22 . I can't hear you. you're thinking, you know the

186:46 I had him put into my house . You get too complicated.

186:59 So it's ok here, Del Rio says, oh, it's so

187:04 Ok. How obvious is this Del Rio? Take it now?

187:08 at it. If you don't remove , you don't have any socks to

187:47 . Are you there folks over What you keep saying? You don't

187:55 to remove any but you won't have socks to wear, you gotta remove

188:04 . So how many do you Just, uh, aren't these embarrassing

188:21 ? What's that? No. we got group discussions going on.

188:42 noticed the young lady isn't so quick respond this time. Sorry, we

188:51 have. Ok. 20 brown 20 gray socks. Who has an

189:04 ? Ok. Ronald Reid. Give a color, brown or gray?

189:14 brown or gray, right? Two , right? So, all you

189:21 to do was remove two, Oh, what do you want for

189:25 second? What if the second time were moved to gray? So,

189:34 you have to, you have to least go two times now take a

189:40 stop, no matter if it's brown gray, you got a pair.

189:46 , it's only three. You only three. and you're gonna have a

190:01 that, ok. No. Did give you the missing dollar?

190:21 You have to have, you have take something home as a, an

190:29 and here it is. You I can guarantee you. This is

190:33 very, very difficult problem. I taking that seriously. If you have

190:40 12 year old, ask them to you cause they can. And let's

190:46 at what the question is. Three go into a pub, they drink

190:54 . Their bill is $30. Each the writers $10 for a total of

191:02 . The bartender tells the waitress, charge them $5 too much and gives

191:07 waitress 5 $1 bills. It's difficult divide $5 between three men. So

191:14 waitress puts $2 in your back pocket gives each man $1 back. Now

191:21 is paid $9. Total. It , total it up. The three

191:26 have paid three times nine. That's and the waitress has two in her

191:30 pocket for sum of $29. The men went into the pub with

191:36 Now they can only account for Where's the missing dollar? No,

191:47 you try telling me missing are you , oh, it's just simple.

191:52 right here. No, you gotta it. You gotta prove it

191:56 Like telling how it sums up By the way, it is a

192:15 . I led you. Astray. says she thinks she has it.

192:45 , ok, that's your homework And by the way, this is

192:54 trivial because if you tell it the I told it, it's gonna be

192:59 difficult except I, I've, I've only a few people that it actually

193:07 that right out. OK. Let's on to another topic. OK.

193:36 density models here are some empirical a velocity density models. A lot of

193:53 you need a density log. If are trying to go ahead and make

194:01 estimate of porosity, you always want density law. If you're trying to

194:07 a synthetic seismo gram, you're trying see how the amplitude might vary with

194:13 . You need a density log a of times if this is the second

194:21 third, well, in the they will not measure a density

194:27 initial log run. The density log a slower run time, slower

194:34 takes more time. So the original run might have something like a sonic

194:41 s speed. Then if there's hydro , they think they need it,

194:48 might run the density log. So lot of times you don't evidently law

194:56 you're gonna have to predict it. are five different ways and there are

195:01 than this, but just five ways uh you can do it. Some

195:07 these are empirical. The first one gathers everybody's attention is the one from

195:17 Gardner. And that came out and about 1974 but he actually presented it

195:24 uh a conference in 1969. And he got done looking at these,

195:30 said overhaul, all these lithos tend fit the curve density is equal to

195:39 velocity to the quarter power. almost, except for a couple.

195:46 instance, Jerry said the next time invent rock salt, they gotta make

195:54 more dense. It's just too Now in hydra, that dude is

196:00 heavy, he should be lighter and whole world will be much happier and

196:06 can use this equation. Well, quite. So John Castagna, he

196:14 ahead while he was at Arco and research team, they did a lot

196:17 good work there, by the um they had a bunch of data

196:24 around and so they plotted it up the open values here or shall.

196:34 these right over here are sandstones sitting . And overall Gardner's equation here that

196:46 lime fits the data pretty good, it doesn't fit the shale or the

196:54 very well just on the average. here's one for the shale, it

197:01 of fits these data points and here's for the Sam fitting his data

197:07 So you have an equation where it's similar to what Gardner says. But

197:16 but it requires more than just the . It requires the lithology to be

197:24 also. So I'm going to make estimate of the sand density from the

197:30 in sand. And here's my transform he uses. Now, is it

197:35 ? Let me show you why it be important. You don't have a

197:39 low boss says too expensive, we need it next month. Boss wants

197:46 do a dry hole analysis and guess ? You gotta do it and you

197:52 have a density law and he wants to be quantitative. So you're gonna

197:56 quote amplitude variations with offset to make a quantitative interpretation. So you try

198:03 say, oh, let's just use method of estimating a density level and

198:10 come up here at 10,000 ft per and you say, OK, that

198:15 be my estimate. That's what the log, it's at 10,000 ft per

198:20 . And by using Jerry's code right , you'd come up with 21%

198:26 Now, if you used the sand right here, 10,000 ft per second

198:32 save 27% velocity. And guess what you use 21% versus 27% you're in

198:43 we call a different a VO You go from amplitude decreasing with offset

198:49 amplitude increasing with offset totally different It all have the same P wave

198:56 , but you had to estimate density it doesn't do a very good

199:01 So you have to have the lithology are the remaining relationships for other lithology

199:13 uh Arco published. And I would you though, when you get into

199:21 area that you have small reflection do your own, do your own

199:29 get your own coefficients like the 0.22 . Because I think John said his

199:37 said it's OK to publish it, don't publish the correct results. So

199:44 be suspect and do your own type a transform in an area, take

199:48 or six wells and this plot the and the density and make it fit

199:54 type of a curve. Do it Excel very easily. There's always Wally's

200:01 average equation and he gave us this in here. That's another lead.

200:09 this actually comes from a more than equation up here where you break the

200:19 saturation into our water and all solid . It's they did more than

200:27 One of the things though, every often we see people trying to use

200:31 form of this equation form of that adding hydrocarbons in there. And that's

200:39 misconceived in other delta team for the chromosome. It's just really wild

200:51 So that was, that was the the Castalia Wiley method. Here's Han's

201:04 method and Han's data 1986 his phd , he probably contains a data set

201:15 more scientists have used in order to their mathematical equation anybody else. And

201:26 I got done reading it and some the others, they said, oh

201:31 , sometimes it's not the numbers that get. It's the results that you

201:37 and what they mean on a general of analysis. And let me explain

201:44 a had 75 well consolidated sandstones, 10 of them were very clean no

201:54 . And there. And so he a suite of equations where we got

201:59 wave velocity is a function of porosity 10 sands. Then he got the

202:04 wave velocity is a function of porosity volume of clay. So we can

202:11 in order to see how the clean differ from the sands that might have

202:18 little bit of clay. And here is the results that we got on

202:28 and clay content is on the X . So zero means a very clean

202:36 and there it is purple and a is sitting on a measurement or this

202:43 a reduced or predictive. So divided by the actual measure is this

202:51 right here. And what you see prediction is off consistently. And it

203:01 whenever you get a clean sand, predicted velocity is a little bit too

203:08 . It should be actually more than . No, let's think about what

203:15 meant. If I have a, I have sand grains, I here's

203:25 model of my sand, by the , sand grain A san gran

203:32 there's no clay in here. And gonna talk about like the sheer

203:40 you send the sheer wave and it to this screen when you try to

203:46 sideways, ouch your scratch against scratch no claim here, but just add

203:52 little bit of clay. There it a little bit of clay. Put

203:56 grains of sand now, just go it slips immediately. A little bit

204:02 clay goes a long way from making grains slip. Now, do it

204:10 way. I had the grains sitting here. What if I put them

204:14 by side like this? Put a clay in there. Now, I'll

204:17 the P wave down. Guess what slide this way. So you get

204:24 sliding against one another very easily. you put just a little bit of

204:30 , you put a lot more It doesn't make a difference. You

204:34 your slippage already sitting in here. like a little bit of gas goes

204:39 a long way for changing the P velocity. And that was the first

204:47 this I ever saw a good explanation clean sands invariably show Avio normally that

204:58 harder carbs, they give a bright and a poison ratio is low and

205:04 exactly what this experiment showed. so bottom line, let's just read

205:14 the results would show a small fraction clay and the clean sand increases the

205:22 ratio significantly. So if you're a sand down in here and you add

205:28 little bit of clay, whoops, goes up on this line and this

205:32 poison's ratio. It, but when have a clean sound, a shale

205:42 clean sand has a big difference in ratio. But a shell over your

205:48 sands has some clay in it. doesn't change as much. So you

205:53 a big change in poisons ratio. that the second term Fred in your

205:59 simple Avio equation reflectivity is equal to and cosine squared plus poisons reflectivity time

206:10 script big change in Poisson's ratio, change in the farm offset and that

206:16 with very clean sand. So we God for give us that insight.

206:27 Horn has good insight. He said Sam. He allows me to make

206:34 which is nice. The Shirley sand they have that very simple reflection

206:40 it says that the change in poisons for the Shirley sand was 0.14 for

206:48 clean sand. It's almost twice the , meaning that as you go with

206:54 this value here, subtraction is gonna big compared much bigger, almost twice

207:01 effect, the one above it G . My goddamn company, no Geophysical

207:13 Corporation. That was my company that these data logs analysis. Here is

207:28 P wave in density. The sand shell, probably two or 300 wells

207:35 used here and this is the trend a lot of folks used to talk

207:42 this point right here and that says the crossover depth. We wet sand

207:49 , that's the blue becomes faster than shell. So if I have sand

208:00 shell, if I'm up shallow sand shell sand is slower, so you're

208:12 shale minus. Yeah. So this gonna be a plus reflection. If

208:18 shield has a, that's gonna be minus reflection. Yeah, shell has

208:27 lower value. So shall, shall sand of the minus reflection here.

208:38 plus right here. I got that chill over Sam. Fast,

208:43 Yeah. Slow. F OK. got it. But what's ignored is

208:51 fact that the normal ones, its coefficient is proportional to density also and

208:59 density is greater, then the sand in here proportionately. So when you

209:06 at the reflection coefficient, you see the reflection coefficient is negative and it

209:12 negative all the way down to 13,000 . So there is no really major

209:22 coefficient associated with this plus that was over Sam. And that shows the

209:32 of density, especially shell versus I'm gonna let you take your own

209:40 to read these differences above versus below of abnormal pressure. And that's oh

209:48 was 319 wells, excuse me, were analyzed in this. No,

210:00 while the equation versus what was actually is showing here here's velocity versus density

210:11 Wiley type of an equation. And , they had the matrix delta T

210:20 fluid delta T and this is the what they predicted would read. And

210:29 data set was analyzed these thoughts. then this type of an equation right

210:38 was fit these triangular points and it wow, the best fit for this

210:46 of an equation does not look like wily time average equation that I have

210:52 there. So it says bad to in unconsolidated sentiments. If we go

211:05 and use things such as the density sand and use a gardener type of

211:10 equation, we see that the shell OK. You can gas stronger equation

211:19 much predicted what the shell should be an actual value. It's the

211:25 And so their new equation. Remember told you that Arco's equations weren't

211:32 He put the false values in And this is one example right

211:39 User beware out of Stanford comes a bunch of equations and some

211:49 a lot of data and Stanford Let me see. I'll tell you

212:20 this right here. I want to down a little more salt that I'm

212:24 right now. So I'm gonna end day, half an hour early.

212:31 . Um and we will pick up . Is that OK with you or

212:37 you want your money back? You your money back all of it?

212:44 . I'll, I'll, I'll write record position for that. Yeah.

212:49 is there any, any questions before dismiss you all over s over the

212:55 side? I we can talk about else. I just don't want to

212:59 more new material. II, I everybody is, the word isn't

213:05 It becomes more than that I think drive y'all smelling good. You must

213:19 know what the score is. Javier as he tells the score, what

213:25 it? Yeah, it's 10. , does that mean Houston? Seven

213:30 3 1010 3. Houston. Ravens. Oh go away. Who

213:37 you? Ok. What's
