01:36 Okay. Looks like most people are . Okay, e think we got

01:44 here? I'm sure we did last , but I just wanna probably start

01:50 . And, um, you one of things I was trying to

01:53 across for the little bit that we here was that it's very important to

02:03 to correlate using the shale sections. of course, you can see the

02:08 sections here. But I think, , you know, when you have

02:14 total log sweet, it makes a bit, or at least the standard

02:18 log suite, which would be some ity and gamma log, RSP log

02:23 both gamma and SP. It's a bit easier to get the idea,

02:31 we'll be looking at some some logs and be able to see why that's

02:39 . Another thing is the anyone a they get too much noise.

02:51 uh when whenever we correlate, you it helps Thio have some context.

03:01 the here we have, For we have a cold bed and sometimes

03:06 beds air tied up because you may in an area where there's one thing

03:11 strata graphically prominent across a big and you pretty much know that it

03:17 at one point in time when there some barrel exposure. To the extent

03:22 you would have a very shallow water and the opportunity for coal to build

03:29 , I'm not necessarily a fluctuating sea . Now these, uh, when

03:35 use market beds like this, you're always absolutely certain. But on a

03:39 scale, if you have an you can use them because regionally,

03:43 know that it's say, For one bed instead of 3 to 10

03:48 that you're trying to correlate is And that's why it's using in this

03:54 publication. And once you have something hang your logs on, that has

04:02 sort of timing. Event call sometimes , but it's not as direct

04:08 say, biased fatigue or a Okay, and, um, here's

04:17 instance where ah, you're near the and they know they're near the coastline

04:23 they're seeing these. These limestone which kind of helped, um,

04:29 out a little bit of the Um, again, you could have

04:34 of limestone stringers that don't go across region, but when people start using

04:42 thin bed is almost a time It's on Lee because they already have

04:47 idea that it's widespread in the area could see here. In contrast to

04:57 , you can see the sands are discontinuous. But when you have something

05:02 you're fairly certain is continuous, you hang things on it. But

05:08 in this case, in the case that, if we had bio strata

05:11 data, it wouldn't matter that Now, in the correlation exercise that

05:16 gonna have, it's not, It's is week of a data set is

05:22 could get, but it za riel from areas that were drilled in the

05:27 sixties and seventies. They're drilling there , but trying to do it with

05:33 least amount of money. Eso In lot of cases, they don't have

05:38 better developed by a strata. Graphic sets. Okay, so that well

05:52 And you had a question on this we talked about motives and and I

05:59 some questions on electric logs, like ones? In which column. And

06:09 you have something. One of the with people having lots of options.

06:15 days they can get a piece of and they could just start plotting their

06:20 ray log over here if they want and their bulk density over here if

06:23 want to. You have the Do all sorts of things. But

06:27 you go and present it, by large, the rock tools are in

06:35 Rachael Ethology Cools tools in this In other words, you're going to

06:39 Gamma Ray and ESP in the first . The resistive ity or fluid tools

06:47 gonna be, and they're called the in your book. By the

06:51 there was a very tricky question in . Ah, in that test.

06:57 the fluid to tools air usually in second channel and usually the well bore

07:03 indicated between those two channels. And it will have perforations on it.

07:10 , casing shoes where the base of casing string is, and and and

07:18 where sidewall cores and cores were And, uh, and then to

07:23 right of this, normally there's gonna a sonic, and then there's gonna

07:26 a bulk density log. And when we're doing correlation, we look

07:33 this suite of logs and you can . Um, you know one thing

07:39 sands resistive it could be all over place, but in Shales, it

07:44 more to do. Um, with tightness of the shells and,

07:53 and the lack of tightness of the . In other words, the higher

07:57 . It is going to be tighter there, including salt water and the

08:01 resistive it ease are going to um, a little bit mawr showing

08:10 they have water or bound water included them. But you get a nice

08:15 of pattern off here to the And so when we correlate, we

08:20 going to be looking at the gamma and or SPS. You're I think

08:26 exercises most, uh, it may SPS again. I can't remember because

08:34 they're either SPS or very bad gamma . And how should I say low

08:40 gamma logs. But normally when we , we start correlating with shales,

08:49 so you need to get away from things thicker sand units. And

08:54 this is kind of a sand unit we don't really get a good shale

08:57 here. There's a shell right right there. Let me dio. And

09:04 . And this is looking at a sandwich Section two so it doesn't really

09:09 . But here I'm showing how flooding from high gamma spikes. And,

09:14 course, the high gamma spike is the right show. These organic rich

09:20 are often called maximum flooding surfaces. in the North Sea and the

09:25 they actually have names for them. they're the bounding units for their Jurassic

09:32 . Uh, and here, uncharacteristic oil industry type work, they start

09:40 the bottom and work their way So j 62 is older than J

09:45 . A lot of times in the industry, we count things down from

09:48 top because that's the way we drill . Yeah, Okay, So the

09:54 of correlation let me see if I reduce this so I can see it

10:09 really thio connect. Similar deposition will from one to the other. That's

10:18 on a big picture scale. What trying to do. We're not

10:22 Thio, look for Sands. One things that when I throw out my

10:29 exercise, a lot of students, petroleum engineers, first thing they do

10:34 start correlating 9500 ft with 9500 ft the other law. And that only

10:42 if there's no structure. Have you nothing but flat lying beds? And

10:49 logs that you have are coming from different areas around a salt dome.

10:55 they will, by the nature of the deposits and are and which ones

11:02 structurally up dip or down the well with the correlative sands and shale should

11:10 , uh, not the same depth one well to the next. So

11:15 do that, because what you're trying do is is figure out what the

11:20 all episodes are and which ones correlate which other ones. Now, if

11:26 have a sandstone and, well, and a sandstone and well to,

11:31 someone tell me why that's not correlating two together is not the same

11:37 Is correlating a deposition All episode, ideas? Yeah. Okay. Let

11:53 , um can you repeat the Yeah. I have to log side

12:00 side, and they have a Siris sand stones in them. Uh,

12:08 I'm just correlating one sand from one , toe, one sand to the

12:11 . Well, how is that Or possibly different from connecting or correlating

12:20 episodes? And why does it Because the photography can repeat, that's

12:30 right. Strategic AFI can repeat, so you could have sands of very

12:38 that were not deposited during the same . Aleppo sewed, and I know

12:44 going to skip sequence photography primer because figured, John, it gave you

12:49 of that already. But and so have sequences. And what what occurs

13:00 sequences? What is the bounding surface a sequence mhm erosion? You have

13:17 original surface, right? Did So if, for example, I

13:24 Sands in one sequence and I try correlate them to Sands and another

13:32 why is there really highly unlikely probability there they're connected to each other?

13:42 is that unlikely? Because erosion isn't . That's correct. But But one

13:55 that is is that un conformity is gap in time, right? And

14:02 you said, it's not even the gap, the gap in time

14:09 the hiatus in time can be a amount of time, or it can

14:15 millions of years of time. But either side of that on conformity.

14:21 is the relationship? The relative age between the units above vs units below

14:32 Bob? They're all younger above, they're younger, above they keep.

14:36 can't be continuous sands with the units that. And that's a really simple

14:42 of why you have to be But what about another surface between a

14:48 and a regressive event? What's the between a transgressive and a regressive

15:01 Yeah, that your maximum flooding It could be It could be a

15:07 flooding surface. Or it could just a flooding surface. But it's a

15:12 surface. And what in terms of elements? What what do most flooding

15:19 tend to be. Perhaps, excuse , tracks owners are sales seals.

15:31 . Now they could be part of trap, but not likely the whole

15:36 . But but the seals, their and and again, what is the

15:45 age relationship between the things below one another? The one above is

15:51 right? And because of that de episodes, if you're going to try

15:59 correlate them, they're really more than correlating Sands and Shales. It's really

16:04 to correlate similar de positional episodes or de positional episodes with other sin deposition

16:13 . In other words, they occurred about the same time. And then

16:17 have probability, at least of them interconnected and single flow units, which

16:25 don't get if you're just correlating haphazardly that look alike from the log

16:31 Because I could correlate a channel sand another channel, sand. And they

16:37 be completely different channels that were deposited either side of these boundaries that we

16:43 talked about, whether it be a surface or in conformity and so they

16:48 be continuous, even though hitting a sand or appoint bar. It's pretty

16:54 or miss, because because of the , I'll system that it comes from

16:58 we'll talk more about that when we in the final detail here. But

17:02 now we're talking about correlation. And , uh, one thing that we

17:10 is that when we're looking at things de positional strike, there is a

17:17 chance we'll see layer cake type configuration we're correlating across strike. But when

17:24 and that's deposition, I'll strike But we're correlating across deposition, I'll

17:30 We're going to see strata graphic architectures bounding surface surfaces in the shape of

17:37 forms separating these sands that look like the same depth there, the same

17:43 . But in fact they're definitely separated numerous things that can actually seal one

17:50 the other. And there isn't. is absolutely no continuity between those sands

17:55 I bring this up because the rial end of the day, the rial

18:00 for trying to correlate Wells is to out with logs is to figure out

18:04 going on between two wells nowadays, we have a lot of seismic and

18:09 think that we can see everything between logs, we don't need it.

18:14 in fact, sometimes we don't have best seismic data that we need in

18:18 areas because of energy absorption or of quality of the data that we can

18:23 our hands on. And if you're with poor quality data, you have

18:27 know how to work with that uh, and sort out a good

18:32 in spite of the shortcomings of the . And of course, that's what

18:38 are supposed to be good at. . Okay, here is, um

18:44 a diagram kind of talked about But of course, if you're able

18:49 tie a well at point A and , you can tie in the reflectors

18:54 there's good continuity that works well in . For example, these beds,

18:59 example, if I drill a well here, you might have some luck

19:04 to Ah, by tying it to sonic on dso sort of a synthetic

19:14 . You can get those as well VSP s. You could, uh

19:20 know, you might be able to it really well, but then in

19:23 , in some of these sections, can see there's there's more strata,

19:27 architecture going on. They're actually looks there could be channels in here channels

19:33 here. And you see this here in some some ways this could also

19:39 a relic of the channel up there near the surface and more significant.

19:44 you have to be really careful, with seismic. If you have a

19:48 over here and trying to tell tie it to another. Well,

19:52 really helps if you can get in what the shale intervals looked like because

19:59 shell entered bull that I have my on might be different than one that's

20:04 here farther down. Unfortunately, these examples there ah, probably gonna have

20:10 change this. But they're not the examples off lots of shale sections with

20:18 in between. Here's one where it a lot of shale section in between

20:26 sands. And unfortunately, the curves such a scale that you really can't

20:33 him. And this is kind of view that you get on a

20:37 And if you're trying to correlate two next to each other, you can't

20:41 it at this scale. You gotta them out and look really close.

20:45 if I'm looking in here, I have trouble knowing that that correlates with

20:50 rather than that part. Sometimes doing correlation is a little tough unless unless

20:58 get a well data set in, already picked him. I find students

21:02 have worked with me have a hard . It's almost a mental challenge beyond

21:08 to correlate logs that haven't already been given tops. The real problem

21:15 is, uh, depending on where got your data from the tops can

21:19 called different things and some data You know, even if it's a

21:27 company with really well man managed they can still have misinterpreted tops.

21:35 can cause you all sorts of trouble you don't know how Thio correlate around

21:40 problems. But here you can see obvious shale sections and you can also

21:46 here. What can I see in shale unit right here? What's going

21:52 ? And I'm not sure what that , but, you know, we

21:54 a little sand programming out, but seems to be something that looks like

21:58 might be trying to strata graphically significant and here and what's going on in

22:10 . This area in here, it's . Um, this is north east

22:25 it says so right up here. it's southwest because it says so right

22:29 there. So as I go from to southwest, it may not be

22:35 perfectly straight line, which is why might actually be on strike de positional

22:42 . Then we're on de positional dip then we're on deposition of strike or

22:46 else could be happening here? Come . Be brave, folks. Is

23:04 appropriation? Yeah, it could. could be something like pro gradation,

23:11 what? What you're definitely seeing is from here? Two over here.

23:18 happening to the strata? Graphic You're sitting there sitting, Okay.

23:29 so we probably have a depot center here, and you mentioned procreation.

23:34 it looks like that Depot Center is forward through time. You see Sandy

23:40 here and then it's getting Sandy and are there. If this source of

23:45 continued, we probably see it build farther, but something Cut it

23:49 And if it's still take procreation, the delta move to another another part

23:55 the basin for a while, and don't see it on this particular

24:00 You have to go somewhere else to a new distribute, Terry math

24:05 building out something like that. But have the the under form, which

24:09 the top set beds, the Fonda , which for the flat under bottom

24:14 beds and the climate forms. Of , for those of architecturally tilted,

24:24 , slanted reclining beds which are sort the indication that there's pro gradation going

24:29 this direction. But in spite of the sand you can see here,

24:33 a lot of sand here. There's as much sand there, and there's

24:36 no sand here and trying to correlate of the other might be difficult.

24:41 if if you if you had better character here, you could correlate thes

24:46 intervals and see that they actually are . So not only is there some

24:52 and thickening of the sand, but also the shale section thins in this

24:59 . So I'm coming from an area limited accommodation space, since you know

25:05 word to an area with less account excessive amount, accommodation, space,

25:12 no sediment eyes being dumped in it limited amount of sediments being dumped in

25:16 . So I'm moving away from the center from here. Thio here,

25:23 . And, um, this is of what we call strata Graphic

25:28 Now, um, lot of times we correlate wells, we expect to

25:33 this happening from one well to the . But what if we see?

25:42 , the sequence as it is, one of those sands disappears back

25:47 We're one of the are are this unit disappears up here. For

25:53 if if I drilled a well not far away from this and that shale

25:59 was missing or that shale section and of that sandstone were missing, would

26:05 think that was strata graphic thinning or else? And I know this seems

26:16 of basic, but I'm hoping that catch the point. It's like a

26:29 . Okay, The word structural or ? Exactly. What kind of fault

26:33 it be if section is missing? type of fault will be normal?

26:40 good. Okay, so that's how tell a fault from from thinning or

26:47 . Here we see thinning going in direction. But in spite of the

26:51 , we kind of have an idea the rate of thinning. And if

26:54 see something that's extremely anomalous and all a sudden a set, in other

26:58 , we see the top of this . But the bottom is missing and

27:02 shale is missing in the top of Sandis sitting on that, the only

27:08 that section could possibly be missing is there's a fault or some major erosion

27:13 surface, but usually major major erosion . We'll have a regional impression and

27:19 see it in the other wells. . And what about say, up

27:25 ? If I had any part of thick wedge of sands Ah, one

27:33 , a little to the north or little bit to the south of the

27:37 , because this this is diagonal northeast northwest. So maybe a well off

27:41 line might might have a fault running it and you would see section

27:46 You see everything going along and all a sudden this well might be short

27:50 that sand right there sitting on top that sand and you clearly be able

27:54 identify the fault. So any time have to wells like these, if

28:02 have this nice pattern of strata um, sort of normality here,

28:09 little bit of thinning there here, kind of equally filling in here.

28:15 filling in a little bit better, if somewhere in there all of a

28:18 you've lost something that changes the slope this dramatically, whether you're in a

28:24 bad flat line Fonda form or a lying under form. If you see

28:31 change in the thickness, that doesn't along with your pattern of strata graphic

28:36 or thinning, depending on which way looking at it, and that missing

28:41 is probably going to be a normal . And, of course, a

28:44 of the places where we find oil gas have normal faults. So I

28:48 it's important that that you know how to pick one with two logs.

28:53 the main reason for that is there's lot of faults that can separate reservoirs

28:59 air lower resolution on in scale, what seismic can always reveal.

29:06 sometimes if it's full of gas or , it's got some booming reflections and

29:13 refraction going on that might give you ideas that something's there. But you

29:17 not be able to tell why some that reservoir on one spot does not

29:23 to be draining with part of that in another spot. And being able

29:27 look at the logs and tell that have a normal fault is a good

29:32 to figure out that they're separated Okay, um, here we're looking

29:39 correlation on de positional strike when you at on strike. And,

29:46 is everybody now a deposition? I'll versus de positional dip is if somebody

29:54 know. Ah, give me a out so I can explain it.

30:04 , everybody knows Just in case you're . How about if I ask it

30:12 way? If I had a line here Thio here Is that on de

30:18 dipper strike? Excuse me. This'll be de positional dip next.

30:29 And if I had a line going like this, I almost have to

30:33 like this. That would be deposition strike in a sense. Okay.

30:45 de positional dip is parallel to the of flow, and strike is perpendicular

30:53 it Can. Chris, it gets when you have, uh, you

30:59 , fingers coming out in different And this is on de positional strike

31:05 , and it just shows you how of these bodies, um, that

31:12 of a road into the shell But if if, for example,

31:19 did this on dip in one of distributor Eri Mount bars, in other

31:22 like this say we looked up one the mouth bars like that with would

31:30 , five wells. What would my look like? Would they look continuous

31:35 discontinuous? It's a real obvious E can't quite hear you,

31:54 but of interesting question place. if you had a If I had

32:00 wells in a cross section here when sands look discontinuous like this or continues

32:10 , Exactly. So, um, some situations, when we're looking at

32:16 positional strike like this, we actually layer cake beds because you might

32:22 uh, units that are widespread in strike direction. But in a dip

32:29 . They have client of forms, they break off. It's like and

32:33 reason I'm going into this because three is difficult for people Thio think

32:38 But here you can see that if go straight across these sands disappear because

32:43 the client of forms. But with like a distribute Terry mouth bar,

32:52 of having continuity across deposition, I'll . I actually have continuity across

32:58 I'll dip now. These would probably Klein of forms in them, but

33:02 would be to be able to correlate sands and it just be dropping a

33:06 bit in structure. Okay, Here , um just another example of showing

33:17 how complicated is to pick out channels that sort of thing. But here

33:24 have a big sand and it finds and you gotta shale and you come

33:30 like this and that sand disappears and have a clay plug sitting on top

33:39 it. Maybe. Why does that look like a fault? Because you

33:51 sand here. You got sand there it's missing there. What on this

33:59 is telling me that that that's got be a deposition all thing and not

34:03 not a fault because the sands air on either side. They're kind of

34:11 either side. But also, if look above and below, there's there's

34:16 a force dip relative. See how kind of a consistent thickness here.

34:23 not missing section. There's no missing . It's just been what was.

34:29 has just turned into clay. That's faces change, okay? And in

34:35 , I don't see anything here. could really look like a fault,

34:43 when you look at what they're using kind of their primary correlation lines and

34:47 most of them happen to be in units. Okay, so so in

34:59 what we normally use, uh, the the gamut sp on the first

35:08 . And then we use sometimes the , but often times, uh,

35:14 resist, if any, log, could be the amplified short normal.

35:18 it could be, uh, even conductivity log, which is thean verse

35:22 it and what you're going to see your data set, I think,

35:28 an amplified resistive ity log and two them in a in a conductivity log

35:33 another or the other way around. it's hard to, uh, you

35:43 , sort out what this is with the logs without some kind of

35:49 But it's also difficult to sort it without having the logs. So the

35:54 are extremely important, and you can seismic through here, and seismic thanks

36:01 always react to face these changes, as it does to these intervals of

36:07 where there may have been a slowdown a deposition event and you have compaction

36:12 here That's longer than compaction in which is longer than compaction in

36:17 In other words. There's more compaction below this line consistently in the compaction

36:23 in this line. And so you to get a density, Uh,

36:30 depth of burial and time of burial difference between these surfaces and you get

36:34 reflection. And that's often times why can mimic timelines. They don't

36:42 but they can't. Okay, so this is what we use for

36:47 correlations, and and it helps course reservoir thickness over an area, and

36:56 it also helps you, um, a diagram like this, you can

37:00 a nice idea, uh, that space and infill starts over here,

37:05 it's pro grading in that direction. then at some point in time,

37:08 get a flooding surface that comes in top of it, and later

37:12 there would be procreation out here unless was severely exposed forever. Like,

37:17 , the coastal plain of Texas is . Although it may be gone underwear

37:23 , sooner than we hope. Uh, so, on a regional

37:32 , uh, you're looking at these thicknesses of deposition of packages to help

37:37 a depot center. And everybody in knows what a depot center is.

37:40 think it's like the thickest parts of basin. And if I was to

37:45 back to this, the depot center this basin is probably happening right here

37:51 it's pro grading and particularly if you about sand, your gross sand is

37:55 to be much greater in here than is anywhere else. And so that's

38:01 thing on a on a regional Um, but on local scale,

38:07 could look for unconfirmed is and false continuity of sands continuity of seals and

38:15 and actually work on the reservoir limits you might have structurally, uh,

38:23 to the bed and its structure and oil water contact you might have.

38:28 can limit the down the bottom of with a seal on top in a

38:33 , also helping to close it. all of this can be done doing

38:39 law correlation. And of course I'm sure everybody did Jonah give you any

38:47 of information like this? No, from like, you know, most

38:59 will know this from work. these things are very important because that's

39:05 we measure it. It's always important know what you're looking at on.

39:11 you're plotting data points on maps, wanna make sure that you're using the

39:17 data set Ah, on your vertical to make sure that everything is

39:25 Ah, but one of the things I think can sometimes be confusing with

39:31 is the distinction between all of these terms. So here is your actual

39:39 accord thickness, and this is your ice a packed thickness. So we

39:49 have deviated wells, and normally it's . The well will tilt this way

39:56 the dip. It could be the way. And you get slightly different

40:01 , uh, for the opposite But usually when we talk about a

40:06 a pack, we're talking about the strata graphic thickness. So barring the

40:13 that I put these arrows on here No, I didn't. I think

40:17 else did, but it looks like I would have done. But this

40:21 quite. This should be normal. not supposed to be tilted, but

40:26 be normal to the top of the in the base of the sand.

40:30 this is the true thickness, more or less at at this

40:38 Uh, but because this beds at angle, Uh, and this is

40:44 an angle, you're going to read as these points, and that's the

40:50 vertical thickness. Now it's different from true vertical thickness, because here's the

40:57 vertical thickness. But if we have holds the dead straight holes, you

41:03 have to worry about a B And of course, this is measured

41:10 . So I often give you a question on this particular diagram to make

41:16 you know the difference. And lot of times we worked with ice

41:19 data on we produce a map, we usually call it a nice APAC

41:24 . Because we don't We don't like our tongues tied and worry about

41:30 but in some cases you might be a situation where, ah, the

41:37 between the TV T and the tst significant enough that your boss is gonna

41:42 to make sure on your management is want to make sure they know the

41:45 between this thickness and that thickness. lot of times it doesn't make much

41:53 . Three Key, though, is at least this the TV T

42:00 And of course, the T v is a true vertical depth.

42:05 uh, which is here's TVT And here's TV, too. It's

42:14 the same t thing is the TV and it's not the same thing as

42:18 a B t. Nor is it same thing is this. Ah,

42:25 you don't have computers doing everything for , you have to know,

42:32 the coast sine theta method. uh, you get a thickness here

42:37 you can calculate based on the deviation that. Between those two points,

42:42 can figure out as though this is a normal triangle regular triangle.

42:48 you can figure out the TV t way with coastline theta method, which

42:56 not gonna ask you to do. I used to do it all the

42:58 . Let's see. So here's just showing you another reason why you have

43:07 Wells. Uh, if just if were all straight holes, you

43:16 you might see something like this with thickening of section, But this well

43:23 is deviated. This well here is deviated. This well is not deviated

43:28 all. And so the section seems be getting thicker just because there's greater

43:35 . Greater angularity here on this could , um, a structural thing or

43:42 could be deviation in the will and way they're showing it here. It

43:47 to do with just increasing dip. you see the same kind of response

43:53 you have flat beds in dipping wells flatbeds and dipping wells in the same

44:01 , uh can create even greater apparent that isn't actually there. And in

44:10 case, it's just showing you the tilted mawr. So you intersect

44:15 and it looks like that likewise, this was it was a flatbed and

44:23 looked like this, uh, but had a greater deviation in this

44:28 It would look the same. And think I probably have a solid like

44:30 or I don't because I figured I'd it in this one. But,

44:36 , so a lot of it is recognition with geological constraints. So it's

44:40 true auto correlation. When we when I worked in the chalks with

44:46 of other people, uh, the tool that they really had to correlate

44:51 the gamma log resistive ity, was almost no response at all in

45:01 chalks unless you have gas. basically, if you use the reason

45:06 curve, you'd be correlating a gas with another gas chalk. We're hydrocarbon

45:13 rich talk, and you might not if one next to the other in

45:18 same in the same area between two that are no more than 1000 ft

45:23 . Are they really in the same or not? And a lot of

45:27 were made because of that. So did some advanced stuff in in some

45:31 the hot and tour fields, and people are doing it to besides Amoco

45:38 done it in the past. People still doing that now, but But

45:45 thing is, is that with auto , which, of course, the

45:50 are great at what we found was will correlate a very nondescript. In

45:58 words, there's not a lot of and lows and a gamma logged through

46:01 chalk. They would correlate those from well to the next without ever

46:09 Saying 60 wells without ever recognizing a fault with missing section or on conformity

46:16 with missing sections and out of about wells, uh, you could have

46:22 on at least 60 faults. at least 60 erosion, all surfaces

46:30 of the nature of chalk deposition in North Sea it in the in the

46:36 Cretaceous, and early in late Excuse , Lower policy. Okay, So

46:44 we go into fields, we like develop a type of composite law.

46:50 , um, another thing, that people do will develop ah shall

46:59 the markets. And then if you biased photography and geophysics, you should

47:04 that if you're available. If it's now, in your exercise that we're

47:08 to get to, you're gonna have resisted any markers that I want you

47:13 focus on. But you'll start actually the bios photography because they are.

47:20 only a few of them. There's three wells, but there's only there's

47:23 a few bio strap markers that actually in all three wells. But you

47:30 those first. And then there's ones Aaron only two wells and then you

47:33 those next on. You can get sort of starter correlation lines when you

47:39 it that way. Then, in that, you'll start using the

47:44 Resist Tiffany markers. Once you've developed lines of correlation with serums and in

47:54 biased photography, then and only then you want to really start correlating the

47:58 stones, no matter how much they alike, and you're just dying to

48:04 them. Course, some of them so unimpressive you might not even think

48:09 sands. So it's just a heads on that. Okay, so here's

48:17 that I find the oil industry is bad about nomenclature. They're two different

48:27 kinds of logs that we can use AH, reference of a total

48:32 One is called a type log, the other one is called a composite

48:38 . In most of time, when in industry have a composite log,

48:44 call it the type long. The log really refers to identifying one sandstone

48:52 shale unit individually in a well and this is the type response for that

49:02 . And of course you could have log that is the type log for

49:07 formations. But a composite log is in that a composite log is really

49:15 composite of different sections of numerous logs together to help represent the entire section

49:25 you see. In other words, there's 10 pay Sands, you'll take

49:29 best, the best log of pay one, and then the best log

49:34 Payson, too, and the best of Payson three. Put it together

49:38 kind of come up with a common in the area or the field that

49:43 working it. And it may not , uh, the same depth

49:47 but it's a composite of multiple pieces log. And that's why it's called

49:51 composite, because it's multiple logs. not a type log. It's a

49:58 . Okay, now here is something the good Hope Fields, and this

50:02 out of an industry type publication, they call it a composite log.

50:10 , uh, this in fact, a composite long, so it's bits

50:14 pieces I can even see here. Here's a Here's a log identified

50:21 Here's a piece of log identified here a well named another one here,

50:27 you put it all together, and gives you whole section, and even

50:34 they call it a type log they realized that it was a

50:38 Okay, so this really is a log. It's only a type

50:45 If you just look at this and tell me that this sand it's

50:51 for all over the field, should basically reflect this character that I

50:57 here in terms of the base of sand, the finding upwards sequence you

51:01 there. And that would be the sand and the Q Sands right down

51:06 . And so, uh, I know. Are you guys catching the

51:13 ? I'm trying to say a type is a type is, uh is

51:19 a log where you're trying to explain type of that unit that strata graphic

51:24 or unit in these cases. you might have a type log for

51:31 . This and this. But this is taking a really good section somewhere

51:36 the field that represents these pay And then But in that same

51:43 this well here these sands aren't well , so they cut it in and

51:47 it in there. In other they may be faulted out in that

51:50 well and they composite together log that all of the Reservoir Sands sort of

52:00 strata. Graphic order, as you expect to find them. Of

52:03 if you drill down, some of might be shelled out. Some of

52:07 might be faulted out, and some them might be eroded out, which

52:11 have a hiatus high. It'll And so that's the distinction. So

52:17 composite log is bits and pieces of log to give you a total strata

52:22 section of your reservoir targets. The log is actually trying to define the

52:32 of a formation in a log that represents the character of that formation.

52:38 there's a two different types of even though here is published, it's

52:44 it a type log, composite and . In reality, this is a

52:50 log and not a type of Just as an example, the Norwegians

52:56 really good about following the scientific method strata graphic nomenclature, and they also

53:03 sequence photography and other technology as well any anybody else in the world.

53:10 , you know, it's ah, a country that sees value and

53:18 and so and then all the under foundational sciences that relate to good

53:27 Graphic interpretations. This is just showing particular logs, and I won't read

53:34 out. But this log, this log, it's in the UK It

53:39 the Jurassic. It's It's the block 11 major block 21 11 to

53:46 So that's giving you a hint as where it is and then within.

53:51 that large block, it's a little 29. Dash three and three is

53:57 well 29 is the little block, it tells you up here which one

54:04 these formations is best characterized by this ? It will tell you some of

54:09 are types, and that means that the best example we have of that

54:14 sums reference logs now have a reference , which is a type log.

54:20 , that sometimes sandstone in an area character or shale changes character, and

54:27 wanna have a reference log. It of shows you how the character changes

54:31 the type log from one part of field to another. So that's why

54:35 would have true and type reference Okay, so I hope everybody knows

54:44 difference between a composite log and a in a type log slash reference

54:51 And also be aware that most of when you're looking at a composite log

54:59 an oil industry publication like an A . G, they will call a

55:03 log a type log almost all the , which is incorrect. Okay,

55:14 here's an example of trying to correlate sands. And here here you have

55:23 a correlation here and another correlation looking at Sands and, ah,

55:35 you see anything over here that would it easier to correlate knowing that Sands

55:40 come and go? There's a few Stringer's Yeah, you can see some

55:55 zones. But for example, here's a good shale section and see this

56:03 mark right here. It ties perfectly right there. And this is an

56:11 short, normal. And so when talk about shale markers, when you

56:20 at your logs, you look for like this in one. Well,

56:24 looked very close to the same thing another. Well, so we come

56:29 across here, where do I have that looks kind of like like

56:34 And it would be right there. what do I notice is different between

56:40 . Well, in that well, other words, I think I see

56:49 same things in here. And I I see all the same things in

56:53 . Like all these markers over here up with all these markers, thickness

57:03 . Okay, So what are the are the three things that could be

57:07 here? There's thickness changes, so could be a deviated. Well,

57:14 you're drilling at an angle on the on the right. There is one

57:18 the left. You're more straight Okay. And what was the first

57:24 you said about thickness? Oh, that the one on the right is

57:30 bigger than the one on the Okay, so there's three reasons for

57:36 . Okay, who's speaking, by way? Uh, so Okay,

57:42 , thank you for volunteering. So , since this one's thicker, there's

57:49 reasons why it could be thicker. won would be That's more of a

57:56 section. So you're just seeing it a longer period of time?

58:00 another could be There is actual thickness . I mean, it actually just

58:06 like it's suspended law of the one the left. But if it was

58:09 life, it could just be one actually did have a thicker section to

58:13 . Okay. Yeah. Thank What you're trying to say in in

58:19 terms is from here to here we're from, say, the edge of

58:24 of a depot center to the center a deficit. Er, in other

58:31 , this is strata graphic thickening and strata graphic thickening. And this happens

58:37 lot when you when you move away the source of sediment and towards the

58:42 of sediment. Uh, you this is farther away from the

58:47 This is closer to the source of . You're seeing almost exactly the same

58:51 sequences. You're seeing almost exactly the sand sequences, and you're and you're

58:58 seeing the cycles are almost identical. and this is the problem with

59:05 Uh, basically, all they've done taken the same log and stretched

59:11 So there's really obvious to you in life it's not this obvious. But

59:16 real life there are intervals that become . And so, like I

59:21 we find things toe hang on which would not be the top of

59:25 sand that could come or go. it would be by a strata,

59:29 markers and then shale markers that you down here. And that's what we're

59:35 to get out when we start doing exercise. So as so to carry

59:42 with what you were saying, this be de positional thickening over here.

59:48 other words, when I go farther this direction, I'm going to be

59:50 out more and more and more. could be down. Dip into the

59:55 . Or, uh, this could cutting across from a delivery channel or

60:02 . Uh, you're on the edge the delivery system here in the

60:05 The epicenter of the delivery center sent right there. In other words,

60:10 Delta's here and this is off to flank of the delta. Okay,

60:15 else could it be true? It to do with what we talked about

60:21 . By the way, they also a good friend. There's no fault

60:29 here. What? This is another that this could be is this stretch

60:36 be due to the fact that I'm gonna go through it. I'm

60:39 do the first two that Sarah brought . But then the third one

60:43 who is strata graphic thickening like Ah, it could be. This

60:51 a deviated well, or it could and a bed this equal thickness.

61:00 the dip changes on the bed. got a greater dip here, and

61:06 stretching it out because you're cutting through thicker section like here. This is

61:14 because it's a higher dip. This thinner because it's lowered. If it's

61:18 exact same section, look scrunched But I've got this bed like

61:23 and when I cut through it, cut through a bigger section and the

61:29 like an accordion. The well is through it like this, but

61:37 you know it's straight down like So it's cutting through it sideways.

61:41 this, you know, this gets more exaggerated when you're doing a

61:45 Well, by the way, it it really hard to see.

61:49 because you might you might fill in hole gap with just a small section

61:53 here and not have a whole lot character. But anyway, the So

61:58 we go back here, this thickening be a result of strata graphic

62:06 It could be a result of, , deviation. Or it could be

62:11 result of increased dip on the bed here to here. This is flat

62:18 , but here it's it's bent over a roll over on the edge of

62:22 , of assault them. Okay. at the same time, it could

62:28 be exactly the same thickness. But no missing section in here. You

62:33 You can follow this. Tick over that. This took over to

62:37 and this took over to that, you can see that it stretches

62:42 Now when you have really high resolution , fatigue or a fee, sometimes

62:46 can pick, you know, say 25.36 million years here and 36

62:57 years here. Same here and And we can stretch the log

63:02 uh, to make it fit the timing. And we actually see this

63:07 kind of accordion effect when we stretched between age points in a log versus

63:16 one another. And so this what just said was correct. These would

63:22 would be the same time. Is this would be the same time.

63:25 that and you're seeing the same I'll cycle in here, but it

63:29 stretch out the feet. How much you would see a Z. You

63:34 towards the deposition, I'll center. . So, um so when you

63:46 you do it right away, I you to start looking at, um

63:51 like a shell resisted beauty marker right . This thing right here, I

63:56 I already showed you that that thing working pretty good. Okay. And

64:01 do we see that? Over In this way. So it's gonna

64:10 that little shale in there, so gonna be this shale right here.

64:15 thicker over here, so it's stretched . But that shell marker right

64:19 he's put it right on the base it. That shell marker is right

64:25 . Well, actually, the So that little one there people's that

64:30 little in there. Okay. And this kind of looks like this.

64:37 then this bump right here, peoples bump So each one of those little

64:41 is a reason stilling marker. But can also look at a pattern you

64:46 see a pattern like this that looks to a pattern like that. In

64:52 words, you're looking at these things up and down, and the best

64:54 to do it is is to lay the other way. In other

64:58 rotate this around like this so that curve is flat across here and this

65:06 is flat across there, above it below it. And you can kind

65:10 move your logs and match them together you can look for actual markers that

65:17 think are consistent from one well to . Or you can look for patterns

65:21 you think are consistent and then what gonna be doing because you're gonna be

65:27 time the bio strap. Then you'll the shell resistive ity markers and or

65:35 ity patterns. And then you're going be correlating the sand stones that fall

65:39 between them. In other words, you do the bios photography and the

65:43 the SRM and resistive ity patterns, you've done those, the sands will

65:50 in between. And here you'll um, something like this and this

65:58 will end up showing you again the graphic thickening in one direction. In

66:04 . In other words, it's thinking this way or that way. But

66:07 between this interval, it's in that . In that interval in that

66:14 there seems to be consistent rates of . Does everybody see that Almost like

66:21 accordion. Even though it's a bad, it expands, it's a

66:28 bit thicker, so it expands It's a whole lot thicker. So

66:32 expands level. And these are all . You've got lots of resistive ity

66:37 in here in the market. so what happens if you're looking over

66:43 ? You're correlations. And all of sudden something disappears in your reason.

66:51 , particularly in the shale markers. lost a shale market fact, you've

66:58 this much section Normal fault. That's normal fault. And you're gonna

67:07 um, you're gonna have straight The beds are gonna be slightly

67:11 but, um, not dramatically so you're gonna have mostly strata graphic thickening

67:22 . Ah, and thinning in the that you correlate. But you'll be

67:27 along like this and you'll follow along that. Then you come up from

67:30 on you follow along, and all a sudden there's something missing, and

67:33 when you can pick a fault. this is even better than seeing it

67:40 Seismic. There's no other way to . All of a sudden I've got

67:45 section is there. This section is , but that section is missing,

67:51 your sands could look a little different here from over there. Your shell

67:55 look a little bit different over then over here, because again,

68:00 were just stretched logs. You it's perfect. Match eso what you

68:05 to try to do, uh, work on coming up with much much

68:10 these resistive, any markers and or like curious kind of doing This is

68:15 pattern because it's, uh fact. see this hatchet looking thing right here

68:21 a little spike on it? So looks like the backside of a fire

68:27 . Um, this, um, see something. You'll see a couple

68:34 these in your in your exercise, like that. And again it be

68:40 the shale section, not in the section up here. You're looking at

68:43 part right here. Okay, So can follow along here. Follow along

68:53 comes all the way up to and then it comes up to here

68:57 to here and then boom, because coming down here. It stops

69:04 The wells you have, we'll have of faults in, um the reason

69:11 know is because I correlated about 30 in the area, you only have

69:18 wells to correlate. Um, you find more false in your correlations when

69:25 have more wells and eso when you three faults the only way that you

69:31 spot ah faltas. If you see like this between two wells, you

69:37 pick a fault if you work in area for a long time, you

69:41 a truncation in the sands here that looking at, and of all the

69:45 looked exactly the same. You could it on the sands, but they

69:48 don't always look at the same. a lot of legacy data the logs

69:53 not this good either, but But spite of that, you can really

70:01 these faults on. You'll be able pick some of them. You need

70:05 have two logs to pick it. can't normally pick it in one

70:10 And unless you've looked at thousands of and you're not going to So for

70:17 example, uh, for you to a fault, you need to

70:23 Okay, in this, in this , I see a fault in

70:27 Well, with respect to that. , so in here he he writes

70:35 130 ft, missing at 89. which is right here in well,

70:44 one, the top of the top the section missing. And when you

70:49 your exercise, I'm gonna want you put how many feet it is with

70:52 to what? Well, and, and you can put approximately where the

70:58 of that missing section isn't that. , you do it just like

71:02 It will be really clear, and I'll be able to look and

71:06 if it's reasonable. And again, can see, I think there's a

71:12 thickening in here, but not Not much. These air tilted,

71:15 pretty much no thickening going on in . There's a dramatic decrease.

71:24 And this is the reason why it when you have a normal fault.

71:30 , and you cut that well like . You're gonna be missing all of

71:40 strata graphic section right here and you're be picking up that section there.

71:48 you're gonna miss Section on the top the bottom. Let's see if I

71:52 it and then then you could go , and this is more obvious.

71:55 completely miss that sand, and you're to be losing part of the shale

72:03 above and below the sand as because it's cutting into the shells and

72:08 missing the scenes. In other this would have to tie right into

72:16 right there. But you're gonna be some section there. You're gonna be

72:19 all that section up there, here that one. You'll have this,

72:25 you're missing some of some of the because it's jails missing right there,

72:31 , because this section does not correlate that section. You've lost all that

72:35 right there. Now, if you a reverse fault which we're not gonna

72:41 any exercise, what happens to your and reversible, you repeat, it

72:50 repeat. And in this block you've that. You've missed the top so

72:58 top doesn't repeat. But this part the section here repeats down here cause

73:07 moved it up. It's coming And here, when you go completely

73:14 that, then you'll repeat the total above and below. And since

73:21 if we have instead of a reverse , we have a thrust. Thrusts

73:26 very, uh, long offsets. you're going to see a lot of

73:30 that repeat themselves, okay? And is just quickly showing you the expansion

73:37 a deviation. Well, which I we've already explained well enough, This

73:42 showing you a deviated Well, with fault. Um, you can see

73:48 it's expanded, its expanded appear. expanded. But here it's actually

73:53 So this is really obvious. This a very obvious fault. If you

73:57 a deviated well in a straight and it was missing, section in

74:02 deviance deviated Well, it would stand like a sore thumb because you see

74:09 significant amount of you know, instead seeing thickening in this direction, you're

74:14 thinning from here to here. In words, top of this marker,

74:19 all the way up to there up here and the upper part of that

74:28 is terminated over here. It's It should be thicker, but

74:31 But it's not only is it not , it's thinner. So it's obvious

74:35 there's something missing and all of everything A and B is missing in

74:45 And so you see, um, in this direction, thickening in this

74:52 . But here, thinning. And can see the same kinds of thickening

75:00 thinning issues with straight, straight and . Um uh, sort of conceptual

75:11 . It's because you're seeing this, then you're seeing that this is

75:14 But but in the well that's sitting on top of it. These gaps

75:19 show up in your lungs. You to find them by looking at it

75:25 this. Okay, then, in lecture, there's two other things that

75:33 important to know about. There's two types of cross sections. First type

75:40 a structural section. It's hung on current day. It's official datum like

75:49 level. So most of our structural or hung on sea level Is that

76:03 ? When How many of you have constructed a subsurface map? Nobody.

76:15 ? I have e have to I so. Okay, when you make

76:20 subsurface map, What are the depths you use subsea? You subsea.

76:29 sea levels, your datum If sea is your date, Um, the

76:34 is that you are mapping are what of what type of maps you call

76:43 structure maps. Right. And that's they're hung on it. There,

76:48 on a flat datum That shows you ? Which structure? The past structure

76:54 the president Structure President structure. Very . Okay. And, uh,

77:05 basically what we're doing here, and this is showing. This is a

77:13 cross section. So what is it you here? What is this in

77:19 structural cross section was your question. did you say? I didn't hear

77:42 question. Oh, I'm sorry. was the question? Okay,

77:49 So what are we seeing in This thing that's called a structural cross

77:53 . What? What is this It's a Yeah, This is probably

78:05 structural dip. Right? And you see uh, spending. You don't

78:13 Klein, a form that kind of like this and then curves down and

78:16 thinner. You're you're seeing the modern dip. And that and That's because

78:23 it's hung on a on a point day datum. So it's showing you

78:31 as you move in this direction, beds are going to get deeper and

78:36 . So just imagine your on the plain of Texas. And this is

78:41 structural dip line, which is also close to a deposition. I'll dip

78:48 in the in the coastal plain to , but, um, as you

78:53 from, say, Austin, or pick another place some place like,

79:01 , I don't know Brenham and we to the coastline. Uh, if

79:05 formation is to say, Yayla, going to see the Aiwa deeper and

79:11 as we go towards the coastline, that's not necessarily the deposition. I'll

79:17 , but it's it's reflects the deposition Dip. But there's also a structural

79:21 , too, because the beds air dipping into the coast into the

79:26 Okay, they're all tilted. There's back here, and there's subsidence in

79:30 direction. That's structural dipped in the type of strata graphic section, and

79:37 let you read this on your own time. The strata graphic section

79:44 Ah, marker ! That's a point time in the rock record. And

79:50 you do that, the structure that see is what the structure was like

79:57 this point in time. Whatever this in time happens to be, it's

80:01 based on a modern day surface or . It's based on a time datum

80:08 the past and in the search for systems. How can this help

80:41 No guesses, huh? Okay, , if we know what the structure

80:51 at this point in time and we that migration started after this point in

81:00 , we might have to do another that's hung on a earlier date to

81:05 if the structures that could be trapping here would be there at that time

81:11 if maturation was before this point in , we see these structures and these

81:17 looked like they were present, incapable trapping oil accumulations at that point in

81:23 when migration started. And, sometimes it doesn't change very much.

81:30 if you were to go down, to this period of time, all

81:34 this might be flat. There may no chance of having any structures that

81:38 trap something there, but Then as come up in time, you might

81:43 that this develops traps here and it traps there, and it develops traps

81:48 there that could start collecting oil, , deposited after. Excuse me,

81:55 , that's my mature, expelled and after that point in time.

82:04 so it's showing you how Depot centers , there's one here, there's one

82:09 , and there's one there. The and them changes through time. If

82:13 were to come all the way up section or go all the way down

82:16 section and keep hanging at different points time, for example, if I

82:20 gonna hang it on a time this surface would flatten out, and

82:26 would impact the structure underneath it. it would give you a handle on

82:34 how significant the structure was. And , if you bring it up

82:37 you could find out that maybe, , a lot of the traps disappear

82:41 time and that without proper traps and , uh, set up prior to

82:49 new structural situation, you might actually some of the traps that you

82:56 Here's something um, I did in North Sea with a strata graphic section

83:04 reveal the paleo structure. It showed Sands were thickening from this high in

83:13 direction and thickening from this high in direction. And the reason that was

83:20 is because this was Amerada Hess's This was Amoco's acreage, and Amerada

83:26 said there was a fault block that over here, and so the sands

83:33 thicken in this direction rather than thin this direction. But in fact,

83:38 thicker Over here in the sands tend thin out into a shale in this

83:42 . In other words, the depot is here. But it was

83:47 which is why it seems to And I was able to come up

83:55 something like this. There was a in here almost right about there.

84:00 was able to show that these this thicker in time and it thinned in

84:05 is it went on a structural high the east. This was West and

84:09 was east. This was Amerada has had the better acreage. But prior

84:16 this study, Amerada Hess, that's on it. But Amerada has projected

84:25 this whole unit here uplifted on this and all this sand in here was

84:30 present. They were wiping out all sand to help explain why this well

84:38 nothing over here and and the well the oil water contact had nothing.

84:45 there was a big fault through here removed that section and in in,

84:53 , in the work on this in this well, I was able

84:56 figure out what the strata graphic thickening to figure out what the section was

85:01 in this number three. Well, be able to restore the entire section

85:05 here and show that there was a of sand here to hear, but

85:09 end in that direction, but also this is past structure, but president

85:16 , it's down dip and and it be of into the oil water contact

85:25 legendary. Okay, and that's that that. So let's take a break

85:32 we start looking at the exercise. what I want everybody to do,

85:36 , is Thio. I'll give you 15 minute break so that you can

85:42 your bits and pieces because I'll be to them and and hopefully maybe,

85:48 , on some part of your You can You can look at some

85:51 those files while you're listening into the . Um, and I'll be showing

86:00 you some of the files on Just so you can see if you

86:04 any about you could look at it hard copies to at the same

86:10 So we'll come back here, right around, say 3 55.

86:45 . Okay, Now, we're gonna at the correlation exercise, but before

86:50 actually look at this, I wanna up the elements of it.

87:13 so you're gonna have some instructions in lecture, but I just want to

87:24 through. You're gonna have three and you have You don't really need

87:39 headers. But I know some students crazy if you don't have a

87:44 And it does. It does make easier to understand it better, of

87:50 , but it's not really necessary. here, you can see uh,

87:55 is gonna be the work. Davis two. This is the swelling number

88:04 in the infamous Hollande number one. you could look here for the on

88:21 this one has SP. It's got ity and conductivity and conductivity has always

88:30 at a more expanded scale. So you're gonna be correlating with when you're

88:35 the shale resistive ity for this? , you'll be using conductivity, but

88:41 the other wells, you'll be using expanded scale. Resistive ity. I

88:47 it's going to be the far right , and here you can see

88:52 resistive, it e expanded. Here's more expanded scale on the resistive

89:01 So the Holland has connectivity, which the inverse, and it's plotted in

89:06 a way it looks the same as expanded resistive ity curve. They're also

89:14 . What? They're all vertical I still didn't hear that. Are

89:21 they all vertical vertical wells? these are all vertical wells.

89:25 okay, there's no deviation. You have to worry about deviations for

89:29 Thank you. And you can you assume the beds. When you look

89:34 it, you'll get a hint that bed's kind of look like they're They're

89:38 expanding because of dips, but you see between these wells you'll be seeing

89:45 , and you'll be seeing, expansion. And but you will see

89:55 see missing faults. But like I telling you before, you won't see

89:59 many as I would be able to because I had more data to compare

90:04 , to find all the faults. , so that's the headers. Here's

90:17 three wells themselves. And this is word Davis number two, and you're

90:30 see Ah, this is the top this is Page one of it,

90:36 you're not gonna get page two. cut off part of the section for

90:40 group just because since we're not in and we don't have time to sit

90:46 look at it, I'm trying to it a smaller project for you to

90:50 on. But like I was saying , this is gonna be a resistive

90:57 curve over here, expanded one, you could see it's the same as

91:02 other curves, but it just it expanded scale, so you can see

91:06 character in it better, so you'll correlating when you're doing your shale resistive

91:12 thing. You'll be using this curve here, the one on this

91:19 in other words, and if you you rotate it around like this,

91:24 looks like you have mountains and And when you correlate it to one

91:28 the other wells, you want to it on its side, too,

91:32 you can correlate the mountains and the , and you can really spot a

91:36 of patterns when you have it flipped its side. And but it couldn't

91:43 these as much as I wanted you look at on one page. So

91:48 the scales air also hard to So I marked like, for

91:52 in this 1 84 100 ft. that's 8400 ft, and this is

91:57 be what, then? This is This is a one inch what they

92:00 a one inch slog 100 ft to inch. It's called the one inch

92:05 instead of a five inch log. , but this is a one inch

92:12 , which is often used for Uh, if you're in some serious

92:17 , you wanted a five inch but, um, here is 8400

92:23 , so that's 85 86. You count on your own and near the

92:29 . I'll put a marker couple of here so that when you actually get

92:33 logs. You can see this All you have to do is fold

92:38 over here or you can cut it then tape it right there at 8900

92:46 and you'll see this sand is exactly same. Is that sand? And

92:51 you'll have a whole section toe work for the correlation. Hollande won the

92:56 thing here. You know, these depths air close to the same strata

93:02 position, but it's instead of 8 something that's 9500 ft here.

93:09 uh, there's another marker. And you have two pages and you can

93:14 the 10,000 or, you know, . Sometimes when I overlap it,

93:19 find a place where I'm not worried the correlations, and I just tape

93:22 together there because he gave you uh, tail and head on these

93:28 to be ableto lap him up any you want it. You can see

93:32 interpretations that I was working on. couldn't erase them. I didn't and

93:38 . For some reason you can see is a transgressive, regressive sequence,

93:47 there's a few of those in And then here is the final while

93:55 wily swelling number two it's starting up . Ah, the important section is

94:02 be here, coming all the way , and you can see there's overlap

94:08 that I gave you just to make help. Easy for you to do

94:11 . But you can see 10 fives at the bottom of 10. 50

94:15 , 10,050 feats right there. You always pull it up to here where

94:19 have something that's reliable. But if you look at this on its

94:24 , flip it over like this. this is flat on it. Facing

94:32 . This will look like mountains and . And that's what you wanna look

94:36 this curve over here? Uh, matter what the header says. The

94:41 to the far right is the one works. Okay, So once the

94:46 thing you're going to do then though so lucky tohave this exercise, by

94:53 way. Okay, I don't want rotate it, but I could,

95:05 I just have it here in a . But this is gonna list.

95:10 , when you print it out, can read it. Uh,

95:13 Here's some tops. and, as in real data, sometimes they don't

95:18 atop. It doesn't mean it's It could be, but it doesn't

95:21 it could be missing here, but absolutely mean it's missing. Could be

95:25 here, but it doesn't mean it's at the same time, it doesn't

95:29 that it isn't missing. It just when they were collecting samples, I

95:33 see it. So you have these tops that air really important. The

95:37 of the section is usually defined by issue, Iowa insists, and you

95:43 see that it got missed in one , but right underneath it is a

95:50 that's defined. The shell is defined EPA night easy alliances, and it's

95:57 all three wells, so this would the first one to do try to

96:04 it on the EPA nighties. why answers? In other words,

96:09 you start from the bottom up. this is zone D. Hang it

96:14 on that kind of to get an , then when you can hang it

96:20 this one, so do it like strata graphic section where, uh,

96:26 10 and 80 to 18 are hanging by side in this section. You

96:33 do it just like this if you . If you wanna hang this one

96:36 the left, this one to the , Not to the right. But

96:40 me just see. I've got a here that looks like it would be

96:53 for me to grade. Yeah, what I see is on the far

97:09 is gonna be the work. Davis two the well in the middle is

97:14 to be the Holland one. And wily one eye's gonna be on the

97:21 , right. So you're gonna uh, in order from left to

97:27 . It'll be the work, Davis the Holland one. And then this

97:31 when you hang these so it won't won't be in this order. It's

97:36 be this well on the left. well in the center that well on

97:41 right. And also see from this that a student did when it was

97:48 two step process, he's strata graphically it on this on this date.

97:54 , since it is all the way , So go ahead and do

97:58 Normally we like toe hang it on highest section, but because this is

98:03 one where we see it in all , I think the student that did

98:07 particular example did a good job and it on the one that was available

98:12 all three. Okay. Does that sense? In other words, and

98:20 much lineup these depths on the three in the order of Davis left Holland

98:28 sweetly, right. Any questions? , Reina. Okay, So once

98:40 done that, then you want to doing, um Let's see, what

98:46 do I have to show you I just had a fruit fly land

99:06 my nose. Okay. I showed the well, headers, the

99:25 Okay, this is really important Yeah, I always leave the good

99:31 out. Okay, this this um, the composite log that you're

99:40 to use. And this composite log from a lot of wells, and

99:49 kind of line them up approximately where occur, but they're not gonna

99:53 These these depths. We're going to much shallower than what you're seeing where

99:57 at. But here's the disk or . Yeah. Alliances. Cockfield number

100:04 . The EPA night easier while insists actually happens to be a gamma

100:08 which you don't have eso. You're have SPS over here in your

100:14 And because the SP has a thin effect and and it's not as responsive

100:24 the gamma log, you're going to Sands that almost looked like this

100:30 I mean, even even less than . And I think that you'll see

100:33 in the exercise. But this is total section, and this is what

100:41 was for 100 years. When I this together, we'll act was 100

100:46 . But you know, since since eighties it's been a lot like

100:50 When I correlated, I actually found sand units in addition to the ones

100:55 they found between here. But here's the Cockfield number one sand.

101:02 not much room for another stand between nep and it is a alliances.

101:07 once you get to the top of nineties eight. Yeah, why insist

101:10 is the EPA nineties? Yea, answer zone and this is the number

101:14 sand in that zone. This is number two sand in that zone.

101:19 three. Number three B three a . And you know when they have

101:26 three being a three A. That at one point in time they had

101:29 three and they skip to four. then they found three B and A

101:32 between it and you can't fool After a few few decades of work

101:40 and again, here's a four. so later on, somebody found you

101:44 see these were spliced logs they came with before a and this isn't a

101:54 here. This is just you need . Cut this and attach it to

102:01 so that you end up coming down . So you got the foray which

102:03 saw in the first page. And here this will be a five a

102:08 b five c and some of your , some of these sands, their

102:15 ville. So you're not going to them at all, But you're going

102:17 see shale sections with shell markers. isn't the expanded once you don't want

102:23 use the one that's close here. you're correlating, you want to correlate

102:28 the scale the expanded resistive idiots over on the right side or the conductivity

102:34 over on the right side. And when you go all the way down

102:39 the Cook Mountain, you may or not identify the Cook Mountain when you

102:43 this. But that goes all the down to the EPA nighties, Jay

102:50 insists. And then there's some other tops that actually come in the middle

102:54 this. And there's one that's supposed sit couple, actually, that sit

102:59 in here. So when you're correlating logs, remember, this is

103:10 When you get to your logs See if I have the actual wells

103:22 here. Hey, Don, do have these slides on blackboard? Because

103:32 didn't see them at all. Like saw the exercise, but not these

103:36 slides here on them. These right ? Yeah. Yeah, I may

103:44 have put the I may not have the instructions online at first, but

103:47 think they're on line now. let me make a note and double

103:53 on that, Okay? Thank I know I didn't do it right

104:00 , but I think I did it day or two ago. So maybe

104:05 of order if it did it and may have told myself to do it

104:19 didn't get to it. Okay, here are shell resistive ity patterns.

104:25 resistive ity markers. And like I , it doesn't matter whether it's conductivity

104:29 not. Conductivity is the inverse of it, and they plot to scale

104:35 . So that you So it looks same anyway. So eso you can

104:39 with these after you lined up the Strat correlate with the shale resistive ity

104:46 and then start worrying about the And once you start correlating the sands

104:53 to draw lines of Correlation, some will just, um, put there

105:05 on the log and they won't even them together. And I have to

105:07 out how they correlate. So you're have to take them together eventually.

105:11 wouldn't do it right away and use used pencils and you can use colored

105:18 over here, numbers or stars, something that you can erase. I

105:24 when I did it for hundreds of at a time, I used to

105:29 color men with colors and and it seems, um, antiquated.

105:37 it really works well in terms of to get a good correlation. And

105:41 , once you get your head wrapped 30 to 60 wells in the

105:46 you're you're really gonna have really outrageous and see lots of faults nobody else

105:51 see. Okay, so I'm gonna start back here the top. So

105:59 going to start out with this composite , which I just showed you?

106:02 got the three logs, and here says, uh, SP and,

106:10 and I don't think when there isn't sonic in there, uh, it's

106:16 be, uh, well, normal ity. And you're gonna map from

106:22 to right. The work, The Holland one in the number one

106:27 and I had it written down Okay, so here's what I graded

106:39 . You're going to correlate the logs I want to see the reason

106:43 so that I see that you you use shale resistive ity, marker patterns

106:49 the bios photography you're going to You're going to do the bios photography

106:55 . And I didn't list it on . Um, because this used to

107:02 a two part thing where I had do everything without the bias trap and

107:05 do the biased right to see how it waas. But to save a

107:11 of frustration and time on your In my part, in terms of

107:16 e thought it would be a good , since you're all trying to learn

107:20 to do this, to make it easy as possible with what I call

107:25 logs from hell for students. And think it's good for you to work

107:31 real logs and legacy type logs because it's something you're likely tohave to

107:39 And but beyond that, from an standpoint, if it's a challenge,

107:46 know you. Actually you get It's not a simple thing, and

107:51 will get that even though it's not , you can do it, and

107:55 think that's critically important. It's really that when you get through this

108:00 you feel confident that you could pulled wells together and figure out whether there

108:05 a fault between them or not. they're, you know, in relatively

108:08 proximity, they have to be on of each other. But you

108:11 within the same field or the same , uh, cluster of fields really

108:16 be a better way to put And and you're gonna mark the

108:25 Um, I give you credit for . If you if you only find

108:31 fault, you're going to get credit it. But that fault has to

108:34 like it makes sense, depending on correlations. Remember, I'm going to

108:39 looking for the missing section that you you see so and you should be

108:45 to see missing section. Some students no trouble doing this at all,

108:51 most students have a lot of trouble this and some some decide that it's

108:57 impossible. But I'm hoping that since got the bio Strat upfront and you're

109:03 of get your course's green line up your logs with that, then use

109:09 shale resistive ity markers to get it a little bit more up and down

109:14 log, and then then start worrying the sands that fit in between those

109:21 ity, shale markers or resistive ity patterns. Okay, and so so

109:32 have three parts to the grade. is correlation. How well is it

109:37 with these patterns in the bios Um, how well do you actually

109:45 a fault or not? If you two faults and one of them just

109:51 like you made it up, you lose a little bit of that

109:56 I don't grade this very difficult in very difficult manner or strict manner,

110:01 if you find two faults in one looks like it was made up.

110:05 have to take a few points but basically this is 33% 33%

110:14 And and so that's and the other is because once you get it all

110:20 up, then you'll go back and at the composite log and try toe

110:25 label the sands. And when you the sands, it's going to be

110:34 don't know if you can see this not, but see how that's on

110:37 top of the sand and that's on top of the sand. And that's

110:40 these air really small looking sands. with, um, in some cases

110:46 SP, it's gonna look even less . But I know there's a sand

110:51 two reasons. Here there's there is is a response here, and there

110:55 resisted the over here. And so got I've got it marked there.

111:05 what you'll do is put the name the sand. They're like, if

111:09 was the actual exercise, this would the Cockfield number one. Okay?

111:17 this would be, uh, the I e c A. Y insists

111:22 one here, and you just put labels on there, see? And

111:31 when you when you actually spot a , you're going to see something that

111:37 like this and you'll see you're coming to your resistive ity marker there and

111:43 to a resistive ity marker here. you see that all this section in

111:47 middle is gone, and and so fault would have to be right in

111:53 between between what's here and what's there so on this Well, that has

112:01 fault. You'll say, fault out number one. And that means

112:08 for example, if this was the number one, Uh, so you're

112:13 the fault out with respect to that . Put that you think the throw

112:18 120 ft on it and see, see this section. I see that

112:23 see it there. See it But everything in between is missing.

112:27 , uh, and like in the , the exercise of the lecture that

112:33 was showing you. It's also helpful you tell me where in this.

112:40 , here's the top of the section missing, So the top of this

112:44 is 9500 ft. So you could W which will mean with respect to

112:50 one at 9500 ft, for And that's where the missing section

112:58 And you have to find one that you can define this well.

113:02 me. One fault between the three that you can find that's this well

113:10 and you're going to see you're going see thinning and and and stretching in

113:15 across thes, and it reverses a bit because you're near salt. So

113:20 a lot of, uh uh tectonics through time, so to speak,

113:27 theirs salt uplifting salt withdrawal going on you might see some reversals in strata

113:35 thickening and thinning. But keep an on what's going on in between those

113:42 here. In this example, you see I've got a section that's pretty

113:46 the same from one of the But you can, even though these

113:48 short sections you can see there's expansion here. Thio here from here to

113:54 . And yet when I come across , I've lost all that section.

113:57 , sometimes you can see, thinning going on. And the rate

114:07 thinning is so dramatic that you tell there's a missing section two. So

114:11 it doesn't just happen in the well thinning the most. It can happen

114:16 Faulcon fault, the thickest part of section and where there is expansion going

114:21 and, uh, and vice So don't don't just pick, pick

114:28 part that's expanding to find your It could be it could be occurring

114:33 the well that might have the thinning two. But with your correlation

114:38 you'll be able to see the difference that. And of course, you

114:42 you may not have right here. looks like there's good shale indicators

114:46 but you may not have good shale , but you'll be able to see

114:50 like, I've got a good solid over here with this over here,

114:55 all of a sudden, um I've all this section in here, and

115:00 and coming up from another direction. see it coming from here. So

115:04 it does help to start from the of the well and the bottom of

115:07 well. It kind of worked back forth a Z, you're seeing what

115:12 of changes air happening. But you have a good start. If

115:16 start with the bio strap, do shale resistive ity markers and the shale

115:23 ity patterns. And then once you those all lined up, then you

115:27 pick the sands the correlate. Like I had a shell resistive ity

115:32 um, appear and one down for example. You know, I

115:38 a good idea that this sand in is between that one and that

115:42 and all of a sudden it's missing here. Eso I'd be able to

115:46 out again I might have a bio pick on this. No, it

115:50 the Cockfield number one. This is upper nineties number one, and this

115:53 probably the two. And over the EPA night is number one is

115:56 . That kind of thing. So understand Have any questions? Do you

116:04 to have these laws? And in . A s format? Absolutely

116:09 Well, actually, I do. But if you get it that

116:15 you're gonna wanna put it on a . And e really think it's,

116:23 it's ah, heuristic Lee valuable thio do this by hand. Uh,

116:33 not busy work. It's just it's to get you so that you can

116:37 see. Um, you could look the whole log section that we have

116:42 look at that one time and then in on smaller sections at the same

116:49 without having to flip back and forth scales. And I think that's a

116:54 thing to be able to dio I be wrong, but I don't think

117:00 . So we kind of went through of this and Yeah, see,

117:11 would label these label your tops composite , sand, and not number

117:17 but But this would come from the log, like if this was our

117:21 , the first one, of would be the Cockfield number one.

117:27 . And then the next one, would be the affinities. Yeah,

117:30 answers number. And then after you can do like the number two

117:37 three Until you get to say, Cook Mountain or something, you could

117:42 label them by the numbers. Because you have a pen ideas number one

117:45 and the next one down that you you've got his number two,

117:48 you might want to pick this one number two on that one is number

117:52 three A. You know, it on what you see in the

117:57 This thesis, I don't think this this is one of your actual

118:02 but it's it's close to what you're to be seen. And that was

118:10 example of what one of those logs like. And so you're picking whatever

118:15 sands are that are identified in your log, if you can bear with

118:24 Sure, this is annoying. I the opposite log is a composite

118:47 Okay, but so once you've once done your correlations, you know you'll

118:58 a line across the top of this and you draw a line across the

119:03 of this sand and you'll call it number one and you can just call

119:09 . You can call this epi A you want. You know, y

119:13 g ah, number one. And under that, you could just do

119:19 two number three, as you label . If you think you have a

119:24 sand, for example, in between two, uh, you can name

119:29 to a if you want, just and likewise, if you see

119:33 you see something in between here, can see they have a three a

119:38 . You found something in here, could label it three c. So

119:41 labeling those tops is worth 33 And because you're gonna have correlation lines

119:49 it, can you kind of see at all? Yeah. Yeah,

120:03 okay, well, you can see three logs with three logs with a

120:09 across it. Can you see that all? Yeah. Okay,

120:19 somebody is going to know what to . At least two people will know

120:24 . So, anyway, this is EP in ideas. Yea, while

120:29 picked right across here. But what going to do is get them all

120:33 up with the bio Strat, Then shale resistive any markers? This one

120:38 just getting the bio Strat at the , so they didn't have their by

120:42 resisted the shale markers on it. thought this was a good example to

120:46 you given where we're going to start it. And and then But

120:50 uh, all you have to do label one of them. But if

120:54 have the lines of correlation, I see that the rest of them are

120:59 , uh, based on the lines correlation. In other words,

121:04 if you have lines of correlation, see if I had it in,

121:11 , my exercise. See, if have lines of correlation like this,

121:28 you were to label it in I would know this is the one

121:31 would know. This was the, , the Cockfield number one. The

121:36 . I insist number one and the license number two. But the number

121:42 then you have this line, so know that's gonna be number three.

121:45 if these lines of correlation are drawn there and here I have a gap

121:50 there's actually bigger distances between here. quite often, you know, we'll

121:54 of tape this one over top of one. Eso that we don't cover

122:01 the SP log or or this, , resistive ity log over here so

122:06 can see it. And then you of draw the lines like that from

122:10 top of this to that from the of it to the base of

122:14 And of course, this section would out of the way, and so

122:17 angle would be a little bit But when you draw it like

122:20 you can see the thickening in the , too. So when you when

122:24 first start doing it before you pick faults and you start putting some of

122:28 lines and you'll be able to see thickening in the thinning and you'll be

122:31 to tell what strata Graphic thickening strata thinning versus faulting, you know,

122:37 of strata graphic thinning. Ah, out pinch outs. Like if a

122:42 out happening here and not a this would all be filled in with

122:46 . You'd have shale in here that different than what you see over

122:51 And and that's why, um you , for example, this this is

122:59 a channel, and this is a in a well coming down in one

123:05 in in two dimensions. Say, the east in the West.

123:12 and this pinches out this way and way on either side of the sand

123:16 , there's gonna be shale. That's thickness because because the because while sands

123:22 over here in a channel shell is be getting deposited over here during flood

123:29 in the floodplain. So you don't because of sand pinches out, you

123:33 lose section because of a sand shale . You only lose section when there's

123:42 or a fault. So when when have a pinch out, this sand

123:48 would just turn into shale over and it wouldn't pinch out like

123:53 Okay, this kind of looks like strata graphic pinch out, but it's

123:57 a strata graphic. Pinch out because shell markers gone and sand is not

124:04 in mid air. It's it's surrounded shale. Uh, that's here and

124:12 . And if that sand pinches out , it's replaced with a section and

124:18 fixed section of shale. And so pinch out would show a shell

124:24 shell coming down at the base of and then in there instead of a

124:28 , you just have more shale and that would be evidence of a pinch

124:33 . Does everybody see that? Can conceptualize that? Well, no responses

124:40 everybody gets it or nobody gets E showed diagrams of that before where

124:50 had, like a ah channel in middle of a floodplain. But the

124:56 is, there's a volume of sediment here like this. It's the floodplain

125:03 being contemporaneously. There might be a sand that's sitting in the middle of

125:08 , and if the sand pinches out the side, you have floodplain

125:12 Now, if you have a floodplain there's, uh, say,

125:18 low stand and there's a a, , can't think of the term,

125:24 you get a, um, in Valley or an incised channel. You

125:29 have some incision in this, but not gonna have much incision over here

125:33 it's a big low stand, which a big in size ballot. You're

125:38 . You're not going to see incised here. You got to see a

125:42 that's incised into a flood plain, it won't be continuous deposition along this

125:49 it cuts into it. But it's to be Pini contemporaneously almost the

125:53 In other words, if I have floodplain like this and there's a channel

125:58 around in it, it's going to into the shell will look like an

126:02 of surface. It's not gonna be huge gap in time. It's just

126:06 be part of that current de positional . If I had a low stand

126:13 it dropped way down like this, might get an incised valley that's gonna

126:17 through Ah, lot of Sands and lot of Shales. And so that's

126:20 completely different character that I would see these correlations, and you will not

126:25 one of those in this particular area that clear and again, we all

126:33 that faces change. We know that can have erosion all that in this

126:38 99.9% of the time. When you missing section, it is definitely a

126:44 fault, and that's after looking at wells instead of three. Very that

126:51 all very close to each other, I've done that in areas where I

126:56 120 wells and was not only able find false that created boundaries to

127:04 But I was also able to find graphic pinch outs that created strata graphic

127:10 that would work that I recognized in the geophysics recognized in 2000 and one

127:18 2000 and two. I forget the year as reported in a PG

127:25 So anyway, um, that should pretty good. Let me see what's

127:30 on here. What else do I to show you? Yeah, Like

127:37 said, you may not see Cook , but you're gonna label them

127:41 You could do this. I dio y epi epi number one through five

127:47 . And like I said, I you an idea of how to do

127:50 if you found some sands that you think fall into that composite log.

127:55 there are sands that aren't on a log, but it's pretty hard to

128:01 him out if you don't have more . Okay, so this So the

128:10 thing that you're gonna add onto this is you're gonna have the bias photography

128:15 here too. So the correlation is toe kind of depend on me being

128:21 to see that you've correlated the paleo . Then later and then that means

128:27 shell resisted. Any markers have to . They can't cross the paleo

128:31 They have to be inside the paleo . And then the sands have to

128:37 inside the paleo lines. That shale the markers or pattern lines.

128:44 In other words, if I have shell resistive ity paleo like this,

128:49 of my shale resistive, any markers go across it like this. If

128:54 do that, you've missed correlated You've you've correlated a resistive ity,

129:00 , event up here that shouldn't be with that one. So this is

129:04 of forced. The bios travel first your correlations, then the reason activity

129:10 or intervals will further constrain uh, much you can move these things.

129:18 then after that, inside of those any markers, you will attach correlations

129:25 the to the sands. And when get done with that, you're gonna

129:29 really happy, I hope. And doesn't take a lot of time.

129:38 mean, if t do it really . Uh, plot out the six

129:45 , uh, cut him, fold , or do whatever you can to

129:49 them and make three separate logs. start shifting the Holland one shifting the

129:55 one to this wily or the work . And then vice versa. Do

130:00 Holland to the other one. And may be useful to try to correlating

130:08 wily with with the work, Sometimes that helps. Um one thing

130:13 can't do is correlate with one and you can't pick a fault with

130:18 will. The only way you can a fault in a section with the

130:23 is if you have a well to it to, that hasn't lost that

130:28 . So there won't be in if they all looked identical, there wouldn't

130:31 any false. But if you see place where it looks like it's definitely

130:36 strata graphic thinning, but it's a section. Pick that fault, and

130:41 it's really hard to do, all have to do is pick one and

130:45 get the full 33 points. But has to look right based on your

130:51 and s o so if you have that looks like thinning and you just

130:58 know, I've seen things where they're the reverse, they make their section

131:01 than it needs to be by putting fault in. And that's you don't

131:05 to do that. And, but if you have thinning from one

131:10 to another well, and the faults the thinnest well, the well of

131:14 thinnest section, you're gonna have to some dramatic thinning Thio to make that

131:20 or to convince me, based on correlation lines that that fault is a

131:26 fault. Can I e have a . Can we do on the computer

131:33 on paper, just like a power ? Oh, yeah, When you

131:39 done, you can do it on point. But I think I think

131:42 you're yeah, I really I really when your first doing it, it's

131:49 really helpful to be able to slip logs and and the reason is is

131:55 you can look, you can look . You can look at the whole

132:01 while you're trying to figure out all things going on on the bottom,

132:05 you have your mountains and valleys. could be looking at the whole

132:09 and you might see that there's a ity pattern here. It's similar this

132:13 here, but if you're just focused on that, you might correlate that

132:17 that same pattern over here in the will. So when you when you

132:21 it online, I mean, when put it on the computer, unless

132:24 have a really, you know, computer with, you know, you

132:29 when that can stretch the whole thing , maybe put it on your

132:32 If it works for you can do . But I want you to be

132:35 to. It really helps to be to slip the logs so that you

132:38 see that. You know, I've pattern here that looks similar to a

132:42 here where those two patterns up I don't want to accidentally correlate this

132:46 to that one or this one to one in the other will. If

132:50 catch, could you see my And I did. I did,

132:56 . Makes sense. Yeah, that's the problem with computer scaling. Is

133:04 if you look at the whole you can't see anything. Ah,

133:09 you kind of need to see the log to see with the little bits

133:12 pieces where they go relative to each . And And I think if you

133:17 , it will be really quick and , you know, you can make

133:24 of it and put it, Put on your computer so that if

133:27 you know, make a mistake. can print out new ones or something

133:30 that if you need to. But , um, when I when I

133:36 I did it originally, I literally in, uh, those shell resistive

133:41 markers and or patterns. And and I realized I was going in the

133:48 direction, and I had to throw away and redo it. And then

133:51 save time, you can, instead doing a color, you could do

133:54 a pencil star and a pencil asterix a pencil square or like a w

134:02 . If it's something that's w you know, do a squiggle like

134:07 , uh, here, when you at it on side and look like

134:10 like a sigma or something and so there's all sorts of you know you

134:16 draw a straight line double line so you tell the straight line one from

134:21 double line one. And, you know, there's lots of ways

134:25 could do it with pencils without taking energy to color it and s so

134:30 could try that too. But it if I had to do this,

134:35 course I've seen it before. I do it really quick. But

134:38 um, even when, uh, I did it for the first

134:43 it didn't take me that long to it, uh, with three

134:47 But then I went to the fourth , on the fifth. Well in

134:50 . Well, then I had to revisions. And then I did the

134:53 and 8th and 9th, and I to do revisions. And But that's

134:57 only way to get a field really out really well. And,

135:01 yes, you know, I was helping a graduate student correlate these things

135:06 he was doing a water flow And then one of the the most

135:12 parts of that study was the correlations we did because nobody else had ever

135:18 to the trouble to correlate it properly a in an area that's,

135:24 been highly productive in the past. , um and people just haven't use

135:31 of these old skill sets that the know. And even some of the

135:36 geologist haven't haven't done it that Like a typical typical exploration geologist might

135:43 be looking at things in that kind , you know, you have to

135:47 at the big scale of that log , because be honest with you.

135:51 you had the whole log, it take you three days or four days

135:57 to figure out that the pieces that gave you fit together and, uh

136:02 you definitely couldn't do it on the , you'd have to slip these whole

136:06 to figure out. You know, piece would be a good section to

136:11 with that piece and that will, would be a good section to match

136:14 that piece and that will and s . That's why learning these techniques,

136:19 think are really useful. And if again that the thing that this would

136:26 you do is if you're working in area with a lot of legacy data

136:30 everybody else in your office was just tops as their picked by somebody 50

136:36 ago, 20 years ago, 10 ago, five years ago. And

136:40 wrong. You're not gonna be able find with the person that can do

136:45 you're gonna learn how to do Uh, by starting out with hand

136:49 then put it on the computer Once you have a good idea what's

136:52 on by hand, it makes it it really easy. Thio update and

136:58 what you've done on the computer. then that would be a good

137:01 Thio Uh, you know, either raster files or L. A s

137:07 , and I've been trying to get that work on capstone projects just to

137:12 databases with We have lots of paper on. We also have a tool

137:19 you can turn a paper log into L. A s file. But

137:23 wants to do that extra step in work of having Thio to justify the

137:28 and get them as raster logs. because I think it would be a

137:33 , really good exercise of if if could start out correlating with three or

137:41 wells with paper and then knowing the of the correlations and where the figure

137:49 where the shale resisted the markers are consistent, looking easy to work with

137:53 , then push, push it and 10 wells or 20 wells. You

137:58 correlate them faster than you could those just because you already knew something about

138:03 section in terms of the patterns that be looking for on the computer

138:09 And you know that there's repeats of here, but there's no repeats of

138:13 here, that kind of thing. the I just I don't think there's

138:20 other way to learn it. If don't actually try to slip the logs

138:25 kind of see for yourself how it . It's not the fastest way to

138:29 it when you have 150 logs. if you had 150 logs, I

138:33 it would be incredibly invaluable for one of the field to start with.

138:38 over here and another part of the three over there and another part of

138:41 field three over there so that in mind you'd be kind of conditioned looking

138:47 what is a really good, defendable and solid correlation. And that's

138:53 whole objective is in tow. Have correlations than the next company, or

139:00 next person in your office is something definitely wanna dio. Uh, you

139:04 , if you're competing against another company if you're competing against the employer,

139:08 employees, rather than sitting in the next to you. Uh, this

139:12 one of the ways you could do better job. And that's why I

139:15 to teach it this way. ask another question. Sure. I

139:22 I think you mentioned Trivial Channel in the Composite Will and also you mentioned

139:27 structure elsewhere. Um, I just to check with you. What is

139:33 position of environment for? For this these three lots. I mean,

139:37 it like shelf margin is offshore? offshore, it's ZMA mostly shelf margin

139:44 . Okay, You're not gonna find eyes. You're not going to find

139:49 tights. And ah, lot of you see. It's probably gonna be

139:54 streams and or distribute Terry channels. ? Count? Here. They You

140:03 to hear that again? what county then? I'm not gonna tell

140:09 Come on. Off cutters. You see it on the headers.

140:14 we're getting headers and ran. but but But they're not right next

140:23 each other. And And this is exercise. And, um uh,

140:33 I said to do it, it's This is what I want you

140:36 learn from. This also is given parts of a puzzle. What is

140:42 best solution you can come up And you have, Ah, a

140:48 of tools. You've got the composite , which is definitely going to help

140:54 . You've got the bio Strat which is definitely going to help

140:58 And you have the log characters from you can see shell resistive ity,

141:04 and and shell resistive ity patterns that definitely going to help you. And

141:09 you can. Then it should be easy to correlate the sands. And

141:13 may decide that some of the pants pinch out from one or went to

141:17 other. Because the thing that I to you very quickly looked like to

141:24 , it had a pinch out in , which I thought was really,

141:27 insightful. And some students, you , I would say out of 200

141:37 shoots more than that. Probably out about 600 students. Three have really

141:46 on to this, and we're able spot a good number of faults even

141:51 only three wells. And you couldn't with the fact that they were false

142:00 or another. I mean, they it nailed. There would be about

142:04 out of out of 500 students who do that, and it wasn't because

142:09 done it before. It's because they really good just taking a look at

142:13 , slipping those logs and trying to the hierarchy of your levels of correlation

142:21 you want to do to get these tied together. And, of

142:24 when you do that, you may be inflow units, but you're getting

142:29 to flow units than anybody else could doing it by just trying to correlate

142:34 sands that many of which looked exactly same from one well to the next

142:39 within a well, what do you about the anecdote? That geologist shouldn't

142:45 to pick faults that are less than ft on one inch logs that you

142:50 use five inch logs for less than ft. Uh, it's probably you're

142:55 find faults bigger than 20 ft. I met just like in general.

143:02 . I mean, well, here's you would do. You would do

143:06 I just told you to do with one inch logs and then where you

143:10 section missing yank out the the five logs. You know, in other

143:18 , don't start out with a big Start out with with a system to

143:24 the problem, you know, get The puzzle is close closely fitting as

143:29 possibly can with those one inch And then when you get it kind

143:33 tied down in that you know you're have compartments, you know, you

143:37 I said, just getting the sections I gave you and knowing that they

143:42 closely together is step one inside of , you're gonna be looking for the

143:47 that I've told you to be looking . And then, if you actually

143:51 a fault, you might want to it down with a five inch log

143:55 really get it down to the inches , and you wouldn't get it down

143:58 the inches. But you could pick , um, even in chalks with

144:03 Strat data, I've been able to 30 ft faults and and that was

144:08 a section where they couldn't They couldn't anything with size because I had the

144:13 the time they didn't have O. s ocean bottom surveys, and so

144:20 precise me so they they couldn't. couldn't even see 100 ft faults.

144:25 a lot of times they can't see below a 50 ft fall.

144:30 yeah, you. What you said a good rule of thumb. But

144:35 want to do the one inches to to that point where you're looking for

144:39 that's, say, less than Anything that's less than 50 ft.

144:43 might want to try to use a inch log, but you might be

144:47 to spot might say, Oh, gotta be a 15 inch fault 50

144:51 fault here and then pull out the to convince your boss with a five

144:57 ER is what I would suggest. of course, in this exercise,

145:02 think there's there's easily 120 ft if not bigger and again. Some

145:11 these areas are in places where it be hard to get really good.

145:14 d seismic. And it's not too away from an area where, as

145:20 mentioned before, somebody was looking for Cretaceous tertiary boundary, which is something

145:26 you confined with a log or bio data. It's almost like falling off

145:32 log. But with three d they missed it by 1200 ft,

145:39 and so, uh, you that's kind of the way it

145:42 It's the world isn't perfect. But you if you start, um,

145:49 correlations, looking at it in a level of detail and work your way

145:53 from that level of detail, finer finer. Then you can constrain your

145:59 , and you can between the form the Shales and then constrain your ties

146:05 sands and then, um, and from that point, you can possibly

146:12 . And like I said, I've students that could see where some of

146:15 sands of lost section and some of shells underneath them are above them are

146:21 . Have missed, have disappeared and missing and come up with a

146:25 really good interpretations. Okay? And think it's getting close to five.

146:33 So if you guys don't mind, meet again at 88 45 tomorrow

146:38 Good. Uh, we're not We're gonna dio if I get to a

146:46 where I need this. The sequence , primer information. I'll pull it

146:52 , but I don't think e Think guys got a good lesson from Johnny

146:59 ? And, uh, I probably give you the grades to the exam

147:04 Monday, because I'm right now, also working on your exercises,

147:11 uh, but it won't take long do the grading, But on

147:14 I'll try to get as much to possible in terms of grades by

147:20 And of course, I'm going to some time tonight, uh, copying

147:25 you uploaded on your email so that don't lose it in terms of your

147:34 . Okay. And if you have questions about this exercise, let me

147:39 . I think I already told you it was gonna be do, didn't

147:43 ? Next Friday on the 18th, . And then we'll have one other

147:52 which we'll talk about probably tomorrow. a mapping exercise, which is the

147:59 15 point exercise. Okay, I'm sorry. Just say Friday 18

148:09 Wednesday 18. But I think it's 18th Wednesday. Yeah, Yeah.

148:22 we're gonna have class, right? is 20th. We have one more

148:29 after tomorrow, and that will be 20th. So let's do Wednesday,

148:35 , assignments to Wednesday. Yeah. . Got it. And then,

148:46 , I have I have it written somewhere. I'll double check and let

148:50 know if I see anything different, it says November 3rd 18th. I

148:55 it right here. And the mapping will be November 27th. It actually

149:04 after the final on that will be after exam. But if you want

149:08 do it before, then you can gonna let you decide whether or studying

149:12 more important than doing the exercise. if you've studied enough and think you'll

149:15 well on the on the exam and can work the exercise, you

149:18 whatever. However, you want to your time. Are you gonna do

149:24 exam that's similar to the midterm and . I know you mentioned something.

149:28 , it's gonna be the 24th we on Tuesday. The 24th was gonna

149:32 the example. The format. Is gonna be same as the midterm?

149:38 , I'll be similar to the but I might rather than just multiple

149:42 , I might might ask for some answers. I'll have to be

149:48 um, e have to be very short answers because, you know,

149:53 think it really worked out well, we all got done in about an

149:56 , which is what I like to happen with my test. I don't

149:59 it when people take longer than an . When you say short answers,

150:04 you mean, like, a sentence two or using like, a fill

150:09 the blank type? Short answer, , like, maybe a sentence or

150:15 , Or there might be a and you have to have to answer

150:19 about the diagram. Okay, but yeah, trouble. People don't

150:26 a lot these days, so getting to write is could really slow him

150:32 . And, uh, and a student that can get through the multiple

150:39 quickly will come back and do the in the blanks and the short

150:44 If you have, like, three for an answer, for example,

150:47 mean, that would be that would brutal in an online situation. I

150:52 have a single English class in my undergraduate studies. We really All

150:58 Well, that Z that's pretty If you had a really good high

151:03 English class E, thank God, be honest face. Well,

151:10 personally, I had some. I some English classes and even,

151:16 language, German language classes and my in high school were better than the

151:21 in in college. So I was of glad I had the high school

151:25 , and I got I got in lot of trouble in college. I

151:27 correcting my teachers too often. And where I thought you were going.

151:36 , but anyway, when you uh, when you guys criticized

151:39 I'm just getting paid back. um is technical writing part of the

151:46 ology at U of H? no. You know, there is

151:51 a separate course, but a lot the ah lot of the classes will

151:56 you do essays and stuff like that the capstone you have a I like

152:05 , you know, if if you to know what you're supposed to do

152:07 a capstone, just go to the page where it has all the courses

152:11 . Click on Capstone Project in the track for the Geology one and the

152:17 Track for the Geophysics one. And get like a five or six or

152:22 page description on how to do, , the proposal and how to do

152:29 actual final capstone report. So really set up outline A number of professors

152:36 have taken that modified it for their students because they didn't have anything like

152:42 . Ecevit's pretty good, but what like to see is students put a

152:46 of effort into their proposal because, if you haven't had any writing

152:51 because when you when you're working on that's a few pages long, it's

152:56 whole lot easier for someone to teach how to write. Technically,

153:01 if you start out with a 25 report to try to learn how to

153:05 , technically, so so the one of the proposal is, is helping

153:13 those that need help in it in of technical writing. Start with a

153:19 the little problem and help people with . Then when they when they get

153:22 the the Capstone Project, you already a lot of the things that you

153:27 doing wrong or didn't know how to . And you'll get him right the

153:30 time for the Capstone Project report And when you when you go to

153:37 one more question about writing when you publish something in a peer reviewed journal

153:43 does the editing? Is that something obviously you would edited as good as

153:47 can as well as you can and then you shop it out to

153:51 else like a third party? no. What normally happens well,

153:57 , what normally happens is people have program that will help them wordsmith it

154:02 they have less technical grammatical problems. one of things that I always tell

154:09 to do, and sometimes they don't it. I had one student ended

154:13 having to drop a regular master's Student had to drop because he wouldn't

154:17 the papers But you can read Technical papers kind of give you an

154:23 , especially if you get one on similar to your project, whether it's

154:27 the area, whether it's the you know, it doesn't have to

154:30 an exact match for what you want do, but it'll give you an

154:34 of how how those kinds of papers written in terms of you know what

154:40 put in the introduction. What to in the abstract, Uh, for

154:43 of them could be totally bonkers. certain things belong in each one of

154:48 different steps. There's a section on discussion, stuff like that, and

154:54 then conclusions and recommendations come in. that's kind of listed out not

155:00 but it's listed out so you can it as a go by in the

155:04 project right up. And, but anyway, once when she kind

155:10 done all that, uh, if lot of times people co author

155:15 so the co authors will help them it, Or if you have someone

155:19 you, I think is an expert the field, that will take the

155:22 to edit it for you can do , but normally you'll send it into

155:27 journal and the journal will find peers review it. Um, to get

155:33 party to look at it on your is maybe a step you would do

155:36 that you would have it more polished . And a lot of our international

155:42 , just because of the language will well, they'll write a paper

155:46 they'll pass it off to someone they . That has pretty good writing skills

155:51 English to help them, you because a lot of a lot of

155:55 students will have trouble with technical writing the sense of the way we do

156:00 the United States, because we kind , uh, you know, there's

156:04 terminology is a lot different. sometimes our sentence structures air different.

156:11 whether or not we have an article front of a noun is different and

156:16 all sorts of things like that and , so an individual can always get

156:22 help on the outside. But when send it up for peer review,

156:26 Journal is gonna have a list of list of people that are experts that

156:32 go over lightly or they could just the crap out of it. And

156:36 way to take any of that kind input that you get is don't take

156:40 as criticisms. Take it as someone almost all these positions Air volunteer,

156:47 . So if someone actually correct something you've done, just think. Thank

156:52 that person's helping me learn how to better and and just go with the

156:57 like that. And it'll be a easier for you to, right?

157:01 you don't, you know, don't it personally when when someone says,

157:04 , you did this wrong, you that wrong It's Ah and they tell

157:08 why and it's like if you read , pay attention to it. You

157:12 make that same mistake the next And you could write a whole bunch

157:15 things without making mistakes after that. every every time someone edits and corrects

157:22 , someone's done you a favor is way to look at same.

157:29 it's the same with same with these things, except the thing that keeps

157:34 my emails that I tried to send is really driving me nuts because It

157:40 likes you to be absolutely certain of you can't say. Perhaps maybe,

157:47 , depending upon, you know, want you to be just straightforward.

157:51 And to do that, you'd have lie Sometimes, I think,

157:55 it is the worst. Oh, , it's horrible. E could have

158:03 back and looked at this faster than amount of time is going to take

158:06 . Thio put up with what you're to me while I'm writing. You

158:10 have a special outlook. Mine doesn't any kind of guidance on anything.

158:14 can turn it off some of these I turn off and it keeps popping

158:18 up and it just driving me But if you have underlined words and

158:22 click on it, that's the Yeah, and yeah, but you

158:28 , you can either take it or . Take it. But you

158:31 if you're typing really fast, it you down, toe have stuff popping

158:34 in the middle of your typing. know you can't You can't do 50

158:38 a minute with things popping up every word, and it's easy enough to

158:43 back and fix those things And you know, while I'm typing,

158:47 realizing I made a mistake with my . I'm going to go back and

158:50 it, but it stopped me. now I have tow You know,

158:54 next 35 words, I would have two, not type yet, and

158:59 it's annoying. Anyway, I'm gonna you guys go, and it's been

159:02 talking to you. And, what I said about the pandemic is

159:07 take care of yourself. Please take seriously because, uh, for other

159:12 , you know, as an old , I have to go get checkups

159:15 the time. And I could tell the clinics that I go into that

159:21 are really, really nervous and worried they're getting worn down to enough because

159:26 just aren't enough people. I think gets much worse. People are just

159:30 be told to go home and die we don't have any way to help

159:34 . And and that's when it gets scary. So please take care of

159:39 , and I'll see you tomorrow at . 45. Thank you. Thank

159:45 . Thank you. I would say Yes, s So this is

159:53 any assignment related? Remember Austin I don't know how you pronounce his

159:58 name. Said he graduated in Oh, yeah, He was a

160:01 guy. I was just on the with him yesterday because we're working with

160:07 right now. Andi said to say . Okay. Tell him I said

160:12 back. Don't Don't tell him I he was a good guy,

160:15 Okay? Yeah. I mean, he was a terrible student, I'm

160:19 just working with him because I have . If he was a great

160:22 I chose to work with him. a good student. He and he's

160:28 really good writer, too. he, uh he wrote a really

160:33 capstone project. Alright, how can me out? Because running is definitely

160:38 one of my strong points. He's good. Yes. Yeah.

160:46 We'll take care and see you
