00:01 Uh huh. Okay. Are you on Dylan German Chancellor? Um

00:37 essentially the invites for both days. . Place in progress. Yeah.

01:45 . Everybody have the first slide, can't find it. Okay.

02:04 I'll live to the whole group. Yeah. Okay, so the

02:33 the first lecture that I'm going to you today is called distinctive aspects of

02:37 rocks. And for those of you have more of a background in solicit

02:42 , I want you to take all information you've learned and park it in

02:46 back of your brain and forget about for the next several weekends. Because

02:52 you try to approach carbonates, like approach classics, that will become very

02:58 . So the first slide here shows the sort of the list of lectures

03:03 going to present uh during this segment the goal here is to give you

03:09 good introduction of carbonate geology as it . Vote to hydrocarbon exploration and development

03:16 . So this is going to be applied segment. Uh I presume most

03:21 you don't have a strong background in and and that's usually the case most

03:26 don't get really strong carbonate training and universities. And so I'm going to

03:32 with the basic relationships today. there's gonna be a lot of terminology

03:37 we have to work through. And this is gonna you're gonna find this

03:41 of confusing to begin with. But my job as we go along is

03:44 apply all of this information is terminology the bigger scale relationships that we'll talk

03:51 later. And so we'll start with basic building blocks here for today and

03:56 . And then we'll get into a of where we put everything together first

04:01 the, into the context of what call deep and shallow marine carbonate sedimentary

04:06 . So these are the famous modern environments, like the Bahamas in the

04:10 gulf, great barrier reef in places that. And I'll take you through

04:16 famous areas. He appreciate some of key controls on carbonate deposition. And

04:22 we'll end up by summarizing the sort what we call to end member

04:27 The state margin carbonate platform model and round model. So the platform model

04:33 shallow water drops off abruptly into very water area. We call a basin

04:39 then a ramp by definition in one slope angle as you go from land

04:43 into a deeper water basin. So basin and Iran bottle is not as

04:47 as it is in a state margin platform. And then just to give

04:53 a feel for uh tempered water carbonates have a short lecture on this uh

05:00 , uh although I'm gonna downplay the of temperate water carbonate deposition because most

05:05 our expiration uh in this business is confined to tropical and subtropical settings.

05:11 I'll give you a feel for how water carbonates are different than tropical and

05:17 carbonates, but that's basically all I'm going to spend in terms of

05:21 talking about the these temperature cool water . We'll talk a little bit about

05:27 because they relate uh can be seen of some of our shallow marine carbonate

05:32 . Uh, evaporates also can play role in trapping hydrocarbons. So they're

05:37 of the what we call the carbonate relationship. After we talk about the

05:43 environments, we're going to get into we're gonna add the time factor and

05:47 going to get into a discussion about positional. So sequences and cycles.

05:54 Buzz word for the last 30 years been sequenced photography. But and most

06:00 don't realize that there are two different to do sequence photography and carbonates.

06:04 uh I'll talk about those differences and the rock based approach. Very simple

06:11 based approach without all the jargon that along with the other uh model.

06:17 I used to work for Exxon's research when these models are being developed and

06:22 both of them interestingly were being developed the same time within Exxon Corporation.

06:29 the one that's gotten all the press the last 30 years is a so

06:32 systems tracks approach, which has its and uh interpretation of seismic data,

06:39 ? The geometries on seismic. And take those relationships and we'll build on

06:45 by talking about. Well, log seismic expression and talking about some of

06:49 uses of those databases for breaking out depositions packages. Also talking about some

06:54 the pitfalls of trying to use log or seismic data to interpret either what

07:00 call carbonate faces relationships or breaking out plays. We need to talk a

07:07 bit about carbon a source rocks. sure you'll get much more of this

07:09 you get into your organic chemistry or you've already had that some of you

07:13 , I don't know but Mhm. just to give you a feel for

07:19 source walk potential to some of these environments because they do source major oil

07:24 gas reservoirs around the world. And by that time we're ready to put

07:30 into, into a context of carbonate types and I'll take you through this

07:36 take several days toward the end of seminar will just systematically work through these

07:40 play types and the reservoir analog that along with that. So you get

07:45 feel for the setting where these plays developed what controls their occurrence and

07:52 Uh what are some of the diabetic to create reservoir quality associated with these

07:58 . And basically to give you a of guidance or guidelines that you can

08:02 back with you and apply later if ever work carbonate reservoirs in the

08:08 Okay, and then the last thing talk about is zoning or modeling carbonate

08:14 . What are the challenges after you a discovery on of the carbonate

08:19 What are the challenges of developing What kinds of strategies should you think

08:23 ? And so I'll take you through case studies to show you those

08:28 Okay, so the I want to you again that I've, the lecture

08:37 are copyrighted. Uh they should be for your use in the seminar.

08:44 I apologize for watermarking everything that I've you, but uh I I

08:49 I reached a point years ago where got tired of people taking my stuff

08:53 publishing it and uh with no credit me, so I'm not even asking

08:58 they could publish it. So that's rationale for watermarking the material you

09:05 if you ever see a slide that show you that you think you could

09:08 in your work or something like I'll be glad to give you a

09:11 or a copy of that slide. uh so just let me know and

09:16 also noticed that the power points, PDFs of the power points that I

09:20 to you guys on blackboard often have slides and I'm actually going to show

09:24 my presentation. So some of those are just there for background information.

09:29 extra map or an extra diagram that the relationship. And so you may

09:34 me skip over some of those slides that you have in your slides that

09:39 to what I'm going to show you . Okay, and of course I'm

09:43 to to uh test you guys. you've all been through this before.

09:50 so we've got the, The first tests are 20% the finals, 50%

09:55 then, for. for class you know, based on questions and

10:02 like that that you might ask. that's, that's the way things are

10:05 up. And our first exam is until next weekend and I'll uh,

10:10 send something out early next week in of the, of the kinds of

10:15 . I will quiz you on for first quiz. So you get some

10:18 for what to be looking for. . All right. So let's get

10:25 the heart of this discussion about distinctive of carbonates. This is a

10:29 I always start with uh, for most of my industry horses,

10:33 a, that's the slide uh in intended to make fun of uh most

10:40 that work for oil companies because they these pictures like we have here from

10:45 caribbean and they think that when we to the modern, we go there

10:49 sit on a beach and drink pina . When in fact the goal here

10:54 to go to the modern, to the setting of carbonate deposition, to

10:58 the key controls carbonate deposition and we apply that to the rock record in

11:05 caribbean, that is the place of . So you see the rocks that

11:08 are standing on in this, in slide here. That's a Pleistocene sequence

11:14 this on the same platform. That a lot of the modern sediments that

11:18 would have looked at by snorkeling the before, for example. But obviously

11:23 reason why we study these carbonates is they are major oil and gas

11:28 potentially anywhere from 50 to 60% of reserves of carbonates. The reserves,

11:36 reserves worldwide are associated with carbonate And also, I think many of

11:41 probably realize that their major lead zinc also associated with these carbonate rock

11:48 Okay, so those of you that new to carbonates, here's a map

11:52 the world. It shows you today distribution of our what we call warm

11:58 or tropical subtropical
