00:00 | There it is. Ok, we're and I probably need to. |
|
|
00:06 | let's see. Ok, it's full so you should be able to see |
|
|
00:27 | full screen. Daniel. Can you me? Yes, I can hear |
|
|
00:38 | . Uh, I'm gonna ask you question here. Uh, does |
|
|
00:43 | uh, let's see. That's way stuff I'm not gonna show you. |
|
|
00:50 | , it's raining. Uh, does slide cover the full uh, |
|
|
00:56 | Uh, no, I just see camera. Hm. I thought I |
|
|
01:02 | it. Let me go back Maybe I shared it in the wrong |
|
|
01:14 | . How about now? I still , sir. Ok, that's a |
|
|
01:31 | rain. I must have missed a or something. Ok. Now I |
|
|
01:54 | it. I figured you would um, ok, uh, things |
|
|
02:01 | been moved around. Um, you , you think when you take your |
|
|
02:21 | off the button it's gonna stop but doesn't, I gotta give up a |
|
|
02:30 | at the bottom to get the Ok. Mhm. Ok. How |
|
|
02:42 | it look now, Daniel? it's good. Ok, we're |
|
|
02:48 | Ok. And it, uh, check to make sure we're recording. |
|
|
02:59 | are recording. Ok. Ok. we kind of talked about this a |
|
|
03:04 | bit on. Um I'm gonna try stay in this stool because uh my |
|
|
03:10 | and even my hip now are hurting . See, well, bear with |
|
|
03:24 | , folks. I, I can't , I can't get the uh buttons |
|
|
03:31 | come up for the slide show right . Maybe it'll happen anyway. Uh |
|
|
03:36 | the, um, the thing, thing about basins um in history that |
|
|
03:43 | a lot to do with North America of course, uh basins can do |
|
|
03:50 | and what are the basins in terms sequence or we have a decent but |
|
|
03:58 | , what, you know what we're about, the inputs to the sequence |
|
|
04:03 | here and not worth it. Seven accommodation space. So the basin is |
|
|
04:11 | combination space, right? And so it goes down, we get |
|
|
04:15 | when it goes, when it goes again, that's ok. And so |
|
|
04:19 | really important and uh most, most , you know, they just keep |
|
|
04:24 | and sometimes something happens when you have um style. So uh that's something |
|
|
04:35 | watch out for. It's, it's in passive margins, it's uh less |
|
|
04:42 | . But there are, there are that happen uh even in Extensional |
|
|
04:47 | for example. Uh And I'm, gonna show you pictures, you get |
|
|
04:51 | when the uh the flume that's causing spreading uh is hot, it pops |
|
|
04:59 | in the air and it, and reduces um at least at the |
|
|
05:04 | it's gonna be less accommodation space. after a period of time, if |
|
|
05:10 | a failed rift, like say the Sea or the Red Sea, you |
|
|
05:15 | , all these different places, um , you're gonna see that that starts |
|
|
05:20 | cool through time. Over millions of , it'll start to say. And |
|
|
05:25 | you're getting a base in reverse, get something that's uplifted here and all |
|
|
05:28 | a sudden it becomes a uh a center. And that's why uh the |
|
|
05:34 | that you see in the North Sea from something that's kind of high, |
|
|
05:38 | on the size. And then it , uh it gets deep when you |
|
|
05:43 | into the uh paleocene and the, , and up into the mayo like |
|
|
05:48 | now, it's, it's uh it's . Ok. And that, and |
|
|
05:55 | relates to thermal expansion and contraction. um a lot of the uh things |
|
|
06:02 | go on on the East Coast relate that too. And there's not many |
|
|
06:07 | I think understood it. Uh But was a um person out of the |
|
|
06:12 | , I can't think of her name now. But uh she, she |
|
|
06:16 | that the uh east coast, uh is, which is way out here |
|
|
06:23 | had some uh thermal expansion, that of was remnant of the rift and |
|
|
06:30 | uh not too far away from it earlier, tri acid rifts. And |
|
|
06:34 | and because of that, uh there a little bit more heat flow |
|
|
06:38 | than normal. And it, and kind of would drop and then drop |
|
|
06:43 | and it uh and it kind of tied to, I think I told |
|
|
06:47 | this before. It's a real relatively shell and coastal relative to develop on |
|
|
06:56 | . Uh But uh you have these coming in and sees go out, |
|
|
06:59 | really had no sand deposits and some those cycles can be um tied to |
|
|
07:06 | contraction and it goes like this and goes like that. And so what |
|
|
07:10 | , this does is when we have land or whatever uh go down, |
|
|
07:17 | down. Uh you're starting to create accommodation space and you start to get |
|
|
07:23 | trans trans. Yeah, and then to fill in on the next one |
|
|
07:29 | uh and other places where things pop . Can anybody think of a |
|
|
07:33 | Uh For example, in the North that might have popped up uh in |
|
|
07:38 | last uh few millions of years, me, Greenland might be one of |
|
|
07:50 | . Uh But uh Norway, Greenland Norway, but uh they had a |
|
|
07:55 | glaciation. Uh you know, Norway um alpine glaciation. Uh But uh |
|
|
08:02 | the continental glaciation was there, the base of this, the uh |
|
|
08:08 | sheets pushed it down. Ok. then when the ice sheets melted, |
|
|
08:12 | started to pop up like this. there's places where you can see terraces |
|
|
08:16 | it pops up, there's a a new terrace and then it, |
|
|
08:19 | know, so you have like steps go like this and um Greenland may |
|
|
08:25 | , uh you know, they, all talk about everything flooding when Greenland |
|
|
08:29 | its ice sheets, it's probably gonna a little bit too. And that |
|
|
08:35 | between the land and the sea is we call coastal on lap, coastal |
|
|
08:39 | lap is what's easy for us to . And uh and it's also where |
|
|
08:45 | see a lot of uh reservoirs popping , OK. Which is, which |
|
|
08:50 | why it's important to understand this And um and we can get uh |
|
|
08:57 | know, compression forces can affect Of course, we have thrush |
|
|
09:01 | you know, we know thrust sheets pop up and uh and then also |
|
|
09:07 | or end of that, um we see uh uh the four land basins |
|
|
09:15 | forming in front of them, Because it's, it's kind of pushing |
|
|
09:19 | weight of it is pushing down and it's kind of popping up and something |
|
|
09:22 | of has to compensate for that on the rim rim of it. |
|
|
09:28 | know, you don't have that, don't have that extra slab of real |
|
|
09:34 | up here, pushes down in front it. So it, it dips |
|
|
09:37 | in front of that and then it in. OK. So there's, |
|
|
09:42 | a lot going on with uh subsidence uplift, not to mention just sediments |
|
|
09:47 | general as they dewater, they will . There's subsidence at a, at |
|
|
09:51 | tectonic scale and one at a compaction . And sometimes uh and people will |
|
|
09:58 | call that compassion. But in, a sense, the net total of |
|
|
10:03 | is what's gonna is gonna again have impact on coastal inlet. Well, |
|
|
10:08 | something in the central grob and, you can see here, uh you've |
|
|
10:13 | a pattern, it's deep out here . But you have this pattern. |
|
|
10:17 | you look at the uh the rocks the younger veneer, um you have |
|
|
10:25 | where there's older rocks in the cleaned it off and it, |
|
|
10:30 | this is subsurface, but again, plantation happened, you have older rocks |
|
|
10:37 | sort of as uh the lower uh graphic sections in the middle and as |
|
|
10:43 | go out this way, it gets and younger. And what would that |
|
|
10:48 | ? Sin Kline or Annie Klein? an an so, so there was |
|
|
10:57 | expansion going on here and it, it started to cut down. In |
|
|
11:01 | words, you had these pre riff that got lifted up like this like |
|
|
11:06 | like a dome and they got, got planned off and then when they |
|
|
11:10 | to subside and sediments go on top them, you know, still when |
|
|
11:14 | get to this, this large un where the younger sediments sit on top |
|
|
11:19 | it, you're gonna see older rocks the middle and younger ones in this |
|
|
11:23 | , the pattern now would be completely because it's filling in like this. |
|
|
11:28 | so you're gonna have older rocks on edge and younger rocks in the middle |
|
|
11:32 | it fills in. And that's, a real simple example of a basin |
|
|
11:37 | that, that has some economic And uh this is showing you uh |
|
|
11:44 | happening sin rift and uh uh post and of course, sin rift, |
|
|
11:50 | know, it pops up right away then it starts, starts to rotate |
|
|
11:55 | , and uh subside. And uh then after that, um uh you |
|
|
12:00 | , you can see the sediment start buried deeper and deeper. Uh and |
|
|
12:05 | is often called a, a post thermal sag. And of course, |
|
|
12:09 | a big thermal sag. OK. here is uh the way the North |
|
|
12:15 | is today. And uh again, can see um this used to be |
|
|
12:26 | and the sides used to be And uh and I always put this |
|
|
12:33 | here just to show you uh this be pre thermal, pre lift, |
|
|
12:39 | uplift. And that's what caused erosion surfaces down here to show that pattern |
|
|
12:45 | you see here. OK. So in here somewhere, uh you |
|
|
12:50 | when we see some of these un , we're gonna see older and older |
|
|
12:54 | as we're coming along here. And of course, that's where it |
|
|
13:02 | now. And this is the seismic graphic or sequenced geography model for uh |
|
|
13:10 | of the North Sea. And I this is an important model. |
|
|
13:16 | it, it doesn't look in the . It doesn't look uh too |
|
|
13:20 | unlike, see if I can do without this model and that model right |
|
|
13:28 | . See this, this over I don't know why I'm not getting |
|
|
13:33 | cursor controls to pop up. Let's . Try this. There we |
|
|
13:42 | I cheated it. Ok. So see these sands right here. |
|
|
13:56 | It's reversed, but there they are there. And that's the bray |
|
|
14:01 | And so what does this tell, us about basin development and petroleum system |
|
|
14:10 | ? Just as a, as a good example. It's uh ok, |
|
|
14:18 | , this, this is like a and so, you know, you've |
|
|
14:21 | some rotation going on and everything, it is a lot like a growth |
|
|
14:25 | . We, we have, we're coming up on a ramp over |
|
|
14:29 | and we're going down in the basin . So it is like that and |
|
|
14:33 | , it's, it's, it's actually than a growth fault. But |
|
|
14:37 | you know, you, you might growth faults in here compensating for |
|
|
14:41 | Uh But what, what is, , this is telling you that at |
|
|
14:46 | large scale outside, outside of the , outside of the prospective play |
|
|
14:54 | uh understanding what's going on outside of the prospects would be, uh helps |
|
|
15:00 | understand what you're looking for in a basis. In other words, I |
|
|
15:05 | be looking for these kinds of sands in, up in these sequences, |
|
|
15:10 | ? Because the basins changed its nature that point as it's evolved, it's |
|
|
15:14 | its complete nature in terms of where gonna see sand deposits, where we're |
|
|
15:19 | see reservoirs develop and uh and the of all of this too. |
|
|
15:28 | Uh And you see here, it bray the bray sands, this is |
|
|
15:33 | just north of the triple junction where outer moray firth goes to the west |
|
|
15:38 | the North Viking grab the South Viking goes to the north and the central |
|
|
15:42 | uh groin is to the south and right on that corner. So the |
|
|
15:47 | of the central grain is kind of like this into this picture and outer |
|
|
15:52 | goes that way. Uh North Viking , excuse me. South Viking Grain |
|
|
15:58 | north trying to say all my words one time. OK. Here is |
|
|
16:08 | type one sequence boundary up here. But these are really sequence, these |
|
|
16:15 | like mega sequences or sequence packages. other words, there could be third |
|
|
16:19 | sequences inside of this and third order in here and in here and then |
|
|
16:24 | whole bunch of them here. But , where the sands are, where |
|
|
16:29 | reserve, where the reservoirs are, the source rocks are and um and |
|
|
16:37 | uh the different structures could happen to , are changing. In other |
|
|
16:41 | if we're looking at pre rift we might see as these, we |
|
|
16:45 | these rotational blocks, we're gonna see lot of stuff that's trapped up against |
|
|
16:49 | , uh, the hanging wall But, uh, but it's gonna |
|
|
16:52 | a little bit different in here. , uh, one of these blocks |
|
|
16:57 | like this rotated like this, this , uh a cliff and it just |
|
|
17:05 | stuff into here. It's like an band, but it's a um bam |
|
|
17:11 | is what they are. And it's there's conglomerates in it and course grain |
|
|
17:14 | and everything and it's a really huge . And uh what do you think |
|
|
17:19 | would be out here? OK. this is the side of the basin |
|
|
17:37 | this is the side of the How do we get sediment in the |
|
|
17:40 | of the basin turbos? OK. this is probably a turbo system in |
|
|
17:49 | . OK. I think it's also in this model. This, |
|
|
17:52 | they're calling this a type one, sequence boundary. And of course, |
|
|
17:57 | have something sitting out here. Uh gonna obviously, it says a low |
|
|
18:02 | fan, but we also know that a basin floor fan. OK. |
|
|
18:06 | it typical um what I would call Walker model uh or the Exxon |
|
|
18:13 | And uh it's a basin floor that's the first model we had for |
|
|
18:17 | turbo deposit. It's basically a single point and it has, it's like |
|
|
18:26 | , almost like a dis uh distribution at the fan as you get to |
|
|
18:31 | . And uh uh because there was uplift at some, some points in |
|
|
18:37 | while this was happening, there was a little bit of uplift left and |
|
|
18:42 | sands would come. Actually, I'll you another picture uh later as we |
|
|
18:46 | to it. But um here's uh Viking Robin Rift, which is, |
|
|
18:53 | is a little bit similar, but some ways different, it's uh you |
|
|
18:57 | , you've got these different uh subsiding , overall subsiding basins. You have |
|
|
19:02 | lot of uh blocks on either side the rift and uh that some |
|
|
19:08 | some are sagging a little bit quicker others to get to the um central |
|
|
19:13 | of the rift. Uh You and you can see it's not so |
|
|
19:16 | as you might see in um And for example, this model, |
|
|
19:24 | And here, this is um I this picture because um there's so many |
|
|
19:33 | wrong with this picture. But, when I went to school, this |
|
|
19:40 | just about all we knew. does this thing have a six years |
|
|
19:49 | ? Yeah, this is an old , old, old cross section and |
|
|
19:53 | map. But nevertheless, it it shows you the uh massive thickening |
|
|
19:59 | , of this uh basically uh continental sagging uh from sediment weight and uh |
|
|
20:06 | other things that are related to uh is, there's, um, there's |
|
|
20:13 | uh failed rifts that run up through of these places. And, |
|
|
20:16 | and you also have highs over here impact the edge of it, |
|
|
20:20 | that are, that are older. , uh, and you see this |
|
|
20:24 | uh embayment, uh that was formed a much higher sea level and, |
|
|
20:30 | we see, you know, the wedge that's just filled it in. |
|
|
20:36 | , uh, so the, the , the most totally incorrect thing are |
|
|
20:42 | uh salt diapers. We have salt , but they've, they've, our |
|
|
20:48 | now is much more complicated than But if, if you talk to |
|
|
20:52 | any of the professors that don't do geology, they will think this model |
|
|
20:56 | probably pretty close to, right? gosh, petroleum geology is so |
|
|
21:03 | but here's what it looks like now um I haven't check all the time |
|
|
21:11 | on this is supposed to be salt some kind of, but you know |
|
|
21:15 | we see near, near the Um And you're not gonna see it |
|
|
21:21 | far out. But up here you uh things that would be on the |
|
|
21:26 | or near the surface, you would up the dia, but there are |
|
|
21:30 | times they're not still rooted. In words, we think there may be |
|
|
21:34 | here but they don't have to be . And uh what what happens is |
|
|
21:40 | as, as this was developing, especially in the rotation along this |
|
|
21:47 | it kind of ripped off chunks and diapers who were up here. And |
|
|
21:50 | we had separation of strata and we uh we have beds beds that are |
|
|
21:57 | up of parts of diapers that uh actually make a gap between the Strat |
|
|
22:02 | record. And then later on, it gets squeezed out and that there's |
|
|
22:06 | suture uh where the, where the come back together again. And uh |
|
|
22:12 | example, there's a suture right but there's some, some a la |
|
|
22:17 | as salt here. Uh This would a toxin as salt down here. |
|
|
22:22 | uh and of course, there's a detachment surface here uh with, with |
|
|
22:27 | loan salt sliding sort of down into hole and having an impact on everything |
|
|
22:32 | it. And this is just one of it if you look at, |
|
|
22:36 | it's much more complicated if you, you take um this is uh northwest |
|
|
22:42 | southeast, which is a good Uh But if, if you look |
|
|
22:45 | , you know, closer to uh , it's gonna, it's gonna look |
|
|
22:50 | lot different than if you're over here say coming out of Corpus Christi. |
|
|
22:58 | . And um yeah, this is Radovic was one of the coauthors |
|
|
23:05 | of the paper that we did with student in um the professional masters. |
|
|
23:10 | Hartwig did one where um uh he miles and miles of uh this regional |
|
|
23:18 | and um uh there are places that were able to interpret like this and |
|
|
23:22 | , and I think I'll, I will be showing you an example |
|
|
23:25 | some of his work later, but looks a little bit like this. |
|
|
23:29 | it was a um set of seismic that U T had for maybe 20 |
|
|
23:33 | . They had no idea how to it. And one of our students |
|
|
23:36 | in there with the help of um Ravi up at U T and uh |
|
|
23:43 | , I don't have any of you heard of James Chanel? Yeah, |
|
|
23:46 | a good uh structural genealogist in especially both technology and the development of |
|
|
23:53 | . And uh anyway, he was that as well. So we had |
|
|
23:58 | lot of people working on it. uh it's extremely complicated yet at the |
|
|
24:03 | time when you see these complications starts make sense why some of the stuff |
|
|
24:07 | see when you drill doesn't look the you think it should look. And |
|
|
24:12 | and of course, this is really a, at a, you |
|
|
24:15 | these features are very small, you see the detail on them on a |
|
|
24:19 | like this, but there are, are wings that come out of these |
|
|
24:22 | uh salt domes and whatnot that uh create really nice traps, but it's |
|
|
24:27 | to image underneath them. And so what a lot of uh geophysics have |
|
|
24:31 | doing. And um I don't know I talked about CS E M |
|
|
24:36 | But uh there are other electromagnetic methods help us see uh that there may |
|
|
24:42 | something uh more resistant, more resistive underneath that then you might see in |
|
|
24:51 | . Ok. So, um but said all that, one of |
|
|
24:57 | one of the important things is to a history of how this develops and |
|
|
25:03 | this sinks through time because what's happening we see, as you said, |
|
|
25:08 | up here near the surface and now all the way down here. What's |
|
|
25:14 | ? It's good question. She's been been getting a lot of compassion, |
|
|
25:19 | else has happened in the settlements, diogenes. But what about organic |
|
|
25:28 | So the source rocks are starting to cooked. OK? And the deeper |
|
|
25:32 | get buried, the more quick they . And uh and of course, |
|
|
25:37 | , we can take um oil shales of the green river formation and cook |
|
|
25:44 | and get oil out of them. it's, it's a lot cheaper if |
|
|
25:46 | got uh the planet to do it you. And uh and that's how |
|
|
25:50 | happens. And so in frontiers that were talking about, it's really important |
|
|
25:55 | understand where I'm going to get oil . So a lot of these larger |
|
|
26:00 | models like this as complicated as this is, it's really important to know |
|
|
26:07 | that Jurassic source rock is uh down and how deeply it's been buried or |
|
|
26:12 | source rock anywhere. Um When when I was going to school, |
|
|
26:17 | know, there was only one source and it was a Jurassic source |
|
|
26:22 | But uh since then, people have that we have some places where the |
|
|
26:28 | deep enough. It's uh uh been enough long enough and we got the |
|
|
26:34 | that stays as, as young as Wilcox. Anybody wanna tell me approximately |
|
|
26:39 | old that is? Excuse me? is pale, aging. Yeah, |
|
|
26:50 | right about that. Everything above it everything below it's pale. But uh |
|
|
26:57 | um, well, not everything below or above it, but uh there's |
|
|
27:02 | good section but uh um a better to describe it would say it's upper |
|
|
27:10 | or lower Eocene. OK. And so because of that, a lot |
|
|
27:17 | people were trying to figure out these histories and when I was talking to |
|
|
27:21 | about these big basin maps that showed the basins around the world, they |
|
|
27:25 | create these montages that had burial history so that people could just take a |
|
|
27:30 | look at the map and go, know, we haven't drilled anything over |
|
|
27:33 | . I think we ought to go there and look and uh what uh |
|
|
27:37 | went over a whole bunch of Which tool do you think they might |
|
|
27:40 | used to try to figure out how the sedimentary basins were in a given |
|
|
27:45 | where they had no data is And what else? Yes, thank |
|
|
27:53 | . All right. I love spam . I just click the button and |
|
|
27:56 | it back. OK. So it's constructed. These things are constructed |
|
|
28:05 | with age and depth information. And has anybody in here worked with |
|
|
28:11 | So you probably know all this stuff . OK. So now we have |
|
|
28:17 | computer programs that help us do it anywhere if we um I know when |
|
|
28:24 | I, we have a professor from New Mexico Tech that comes and teaches |
|
|
28:28 | Petri mod unit uh in basin modeling uh for the professional program. And |
|
|
28:35 | time I asked her question, what of numbers do you need? And |
|
|
28:39 | needs an awful lot of awful lot data to get Petro mod to |
|
|
28:44 | But when a lot of this first , you know, we figured out |
|
|
28:48 | what the surface temperature was. And we had a bottom hole temperature anywhere |
|
|
28:52 | it, you know, we we kind of give that as the |
|
|
28:55 | gradient in that area. And uh it just doing something that simple worked |
|
|
29:00 | pretty well, wasn't perfect, but worked. And uh and of |
|
|
29:06 | basically what you're doing is you're trying come up with a way of |
|
|
29:10 | and everybody used to do this kind by hand calculation. But uh as |
|
|
29:15 | sediments are sinking, they get deeper deeper and hotter and hotter but if |
|
|
29:21 | start out with something that's in the here, eventually, on one side |
|
|
29:27 | the chart, eventually on the other of the chart as you go through |
|
|
29:31 | , it's way down here. uh, and I'm gonna show you |
|
|
29:34 | one of those charts looks like and can read these slides, but I |
|
|
29:39 | it helps better just to show So, um for whatever data that |
|
|
29:50 | happen to have someone's determined, uh 50 million years. So this is |
|
|
29:55 | 25. So this is about 100 75 million years ago. So 100 |
|
|
30:00 | 75 million years ago, uh they able to estimate that this unit right |
|
|
30:07 | , which is below and older than heather formation in the Jurassic is right |
|
|
30:17 | that deep 100 and 75 million years . And uh this is all flat |
|
|
30:23 | here because these, these, these were, were, were um near |
|
|
30:28 | surface at that time. And so you progress through time, uh these |
|
|
30:34 | they sink. In other words, depth in meters and here's age. |
|
|
30:45 | if I start coming up in you know, my surface is coming |
|
|
30:52 | , the rocks are getting deeper and like this. Yes. So everybody |
|
|
30:57 | that. In other words, this right here is now about 6000 ft |
|
|
31:07 | where they're doing the study to 6 m later. Um And uh also |
|
|
31:18 | this, this is, this whole is one spot. Ok. It's |
|
|
31:23 | a cross section. It's just one . I think sometimes you look at |
|
|
31:26 | , you think it might be a section, but it's a spot. |
|
|
31:29 | a single one and that single What does this look like right |
|
|
31:40 | Excuse me, this is bit still the temper. Ok. Yeah. |
|
|
31:50 | I'm, what I'm asking is, sorry, I was looking for a |
|
|
31:53 | question. So, so we're, having a lot of subsidence here, |
|
|
31:59 | lot of substance, this rapid sub . OK. And um and so |
|
|
32:08 | uplift, there's probably uplift here and getting erosion of some of these younger |
|
|
32:14 | here. Uh And then there's OK? So this could have |
|
|
32:19 | you know, maybe uh the coast England somewhere. So uh this was |
|
|
32:26 | , this was still under the ground and 75 million years ago or already |
|
|
32:31 | 100 and 75 million years ago. it just got progressively got more and |
|
|
32:35 | buried. And uh there's a point here uh where there was a significant |
|
|
32:41 | , this could have been a, fault block that rotated and uh and |
|
|
32:45 | had some uh rapid subsidence that went it. But uh but then you |
|
|
32:50 | getting this sort of slower thermal contraction going on here. OK? |
|
|
32:58 | and uh and again, this gets and deeper and deeper and this gets |
|
|
33:02 | longer and longer uh at temperatures that , that are greater than what you |
|
|
33:07 | to uh to uh to get organic . So, if I was to |
|
|
33:16 | you guys a question like this, say I told you um the oil |
|
|
33:27 | can be different depending on the carris the type, the type of carris |
|
|
33:31 | , and the amount of carris uh the uh in the rock itself because |
|
|
33:37 | affects heat flow. But um but than that, um say I told |
|
|
33:45 | peak oil window was 100 degrees not uh not uh Fahrenheit. So |
|
|
33:52 | 100 C. Uh When did the clay reach that peak oil window? |
|
|
34:05 | me? He was, you you see, you see, |
|
|
34:12 | here's the line who said a He got it and uh and pretty |
|
|
34:25 | there. And then in the maya , some of these other things might |
|
|
34:27 | it in there. OK? And not subsiding as much uh at this |
|
|
34:32 | either. Uh So we've, so of the things that this tells us |
|
|
34:37 | , if we're looking for something that's buried over here for a source |
|
|
34:44 | , we can see that this one's cooked. You think it might be |
|
|
34:47 | close to overcooked, right? You , heather, you might get a |
|
|
34:51 | more gas out of that. The formation, it's not as rich |
|
|
34:55 | It's also doesn't have as much uh um uh Carris in it. And |
|
|
35:02 | you have um one of the this, the Cambridge clay. There's |
|
|
35:09 | equivalent to that almost on every continent the world. It's a, it's |
|
|
35:13 | incredible uh period of time for organic . OK? And here um and |
|
|
35:24 | and after you've figured that out, will come up with a Strat graphic |
|
|
35:29 | . So they had these montages where might have and what I mean by |
|
|
35:33 | , lots of pictures of that basin they might have something like this so |
|
|
35:38 | you would know, we kind of an idea what the thermal history is |
|
|
35:41 | this basin. But the thermal history this Strat graphic column is, and |
|
|
35:46 | we could come in and look at Strat graphic column and make a Strat |
|
|
35:50 | chart and put places where we thought be able to be oil productive. |
|
|
35:57 | , this particular thing might actually be production or not. But uh normally |
|
|
36:03 | we would do is uh they was these charts is try to figure out |
|
|
36:06 | we could have potential source rocks through column and it could be something that |
|
|
36:12 | , you know, every time I at one of these simple scrap |
|
|
36:14 | I cringe. But, but, know, it's a, it's a |
|
|
36:17 | to start. OK. And uh , here's one um uh from a |
|
|
36:26 | in 2013 to show you that, know, they, we have ways |
|
|
36:31 | doing this with Petro and, I think the, uh, the |
|
|
36:35 | now has millions of colors instead of a few. And, uh, |
|
|
36:40 | you can, you can get enough in there, totally confuse yourself. |
|
|
36:44 | I still have a problem with too colors. But, uh, but |
|
|
36:49 | you can see, uh, kind where they pick their oil into a |
|
|
36:53 | based on the, they have and , uh, the T O C |
|
|
36:57 | have, that's pretty much what they're to tell you. Um, here |
|
|
37:02 | early. Well, there's oil, are we gonna get down here? |
|
|
37:08 | of down here than we will get here. Yes, we gotta get |
|
|
37:12 | more games, we gotta get more as we move forward. Uh Here |
|
|
37:18 | vinite reflect data that's trying to help , uh see how it matches how |
|
|
37:24 | depth is here. You can see is, this is in meters here |
|
|
37:27 | , I'm sure. And uh here C again and uh it's uh |
|
|
37:34 | you know, somebody's got some uh readings in this basin and it ties |
|
|
37:38 | well to the bitter reflect profile. what is vinite reflect? No, |
|
|
37:50 | not. It's uh, here it right here. It's, uh, |
|
|
37:59 | , it's a person of, they these special machines to look at it |
|
|
38:02 | you get some of these um uh , they get so cooked and so |
|
|
38:07 | , they get shiny and the shinier get the more reflective, they |
|
|
38:12 | um, if anybody knows the answer this question, I'd appreciate it because |
|
|
38:17 | the kind of thing, I guess supposed to know. But I haven't |
|
|
38:19 | it out yet. How you get that's shinier than a mirror. |
|
|
38:23 | it's shinier than a mirror. And, uh, um, |
|
|
38:29 | when you get a victor vinite instead of 0.8 to 1.2, then |
|
|
38:35 | shinier than a mirror. And, , and I'm not sure, |
|
|
38:38 | what, what they're measuring that Oh, yeah. And they, |
|
|
38:44 | they have these, uh, things , uh, measure the intensity of |
|
|
38:50 | reflecting light. And, uh, it's all done with machines but, |
|
|
38:55 | , and the people that tend to it are just, you know, |
|
|
38:58 | down a microscope all day long and you ask them that question, they're |
|
|
39:02 | quite sure what the answer is. just reading the numbers off the |
|
|
39:06 | Are you gonna figure that out for ? Yeah. Yeah. Um, |
|
|
39:13 | , it's something that, uh, sure it's an important thing to know |
|
|
39:16 | I, I don't know it, don't know how you get 1.2. |
|
|
39:19 | , I, I get everything up one once, once you get past |
|
|
39:23 | , I'm not quite sure what we're . Uh, then there's other things |
|
|
39:27 | help us do this bitter, helps figure this out. But there's another |
|
|
39:32 | , uh, that's really, pretty, uh, frequently done because |
|
|
39:37 | used to have a lot of wells we look at scores and bond and |
|
|
39:41 | able to look at the change. go from something that's translucent to something |
|
|
39:45 | starts to get a little cloudy to that starts to get a little |
|
|
39:49 | It's a little bit brown, it's little bit, starts to get |
|
|
39:54 | And um you go from this cycle of course, somewhere under the ground |
|
|
39:59 | where you get the oil window and in the black is where you get |
|
|
40:03 | gas. And there's also a thing where we do and it's phosphate, |
|
|
40:10 | goes from gray to black. And reason that's really good is that when |
|
|
40:14 | phosphorous, um, appetite starts to uh to get really black uh down |
|
|
40:23 | the section there, we, we past the window and we start to |
|
|
40:29 | , to see um that we're moving deeper and deeper stages of the |
|
|
40:36 | this, this kind of cuts And uh when you go back, |
|
|
40:41 | can't go back on that, but will start right about after that. |
|
|
40:46 | , and you can kind of, can kind of figure out uh what |
|
|
40:50 | is. And um um and then course, we have fingerprints for |
|
|
40:59 | uh that, that we look at too. So T O C, |
|
|
41:03 | total organic carbon is really important. uh why is T O C not |
|
|
41:08 | only thing. It's, it no how much you cook it, there's |
|
|
41:19 | gonna be that much oil and there's stuff that you cook it a little |
|
|
41:24 | , all you're gonna get is oil you cook it more. You're still |
|
|
41:26 | getting oil. And so the type Carro is really important. And, |
|
|
41:31 | , if you take geochemistry, uh uh, if Audrey Basado was still |
|
|
41:36 | , he would tell you, the, uh T O C is |
|
|
41:42 | amount in the type of Carro in gonna be the quality of the |
|
|
41:48 | And of course, the better quality are the ones that are gonna generate |
|
|
41:51 | oil. Ok. Yeah. And , the, this is just showing |
|
|
41:57 | um uh the fingerprints of some gas . And I'm not even gonna tell |
|
|
42:02 | what it means, but I can you that depending on this, this |
|
|
42:07 | right here is gonna be the number carbon atoms in the molecule. So |
|
|
42:11 | is, these are bigger molecules and these different uh these different carbon chains |
|
|
42:18 | of help them understand. Uh actually what the environmental deposition is, there's |
|
|
42:23 | , some uh carros that will have molecules in them, uh responders of |
|
|
42:29 | that reflects uh car uh that's deposited non, and it has to do |
|
|
42:37 | that has to do primarily with a particular uh type of algae or |
|
|
42:46 | um now we're calling them bacteria, it's a type of uh uh organism |
|
|
42:53 | has a lot of lipids in It's all lipid rich. It's all |
|
|
42:57 | carros. It's not like, uh piece of a tree or a |
|
|
43:02 | uh, that's got structured carriages in , but it also has some lipids |
|
|
43:06 | it. Um, it's this, know, just totally lipid rich. |
|
|
43:11 | like, you know, if you natural gas, you'd have a hard |
|
|
43:14 | getting it, getting any out of . You don't have to crack it |
|
|
43:17 | do it. Ok. And, , and here's the process we go |
|
|
43:24 | , uh, diogenes, uh, these lower, at the lower |
|
|
43:29 | And when we get to about 60 to 100 and 75 we're going into |
|
|
43:34 | Genesis and that's when we're, we're to turn this thing into liquid hydrocarbons |
|
|
43:38 | , and getting into the, this sort of a good range for, |
|
|
43:41 | , oil windows. Uh, they're all gonna be that broad but, |
|
|
43:46 | , they're gonna be within that broadband , uh, when we get down |
|
|
43:50 | , we're starting to get, Me Agenesis, which is actually breaking |
|
|
43:55 | the, uh, hydrocarbons and you're start ending up with a lot |
|
|
43:59 | uh, uh, gas coming out it. Ok. Here's a, |
|
|
44:05 | Van Kremlin plot, I guess this was Dutch because it's a Dutch name |
|
|
44:11 | it could have been a woman. don't know. Um, but, |
|
|
44:16 | , but here is, uh, types out here. Here's one |
|
|
44:22 | uh, something that's very much uh, charcoal and uh there's not |
|
|
44:29 | whole lot you can do to This, uh and here's vinite out |
|
|
44:33 | , which is woody and structure and contrast that with out here, which |
|
|
44:38 | Lipton, which is lipid rich. uh you can see here, |
|
|
44:44 | as you go through diogenes and cat , you're gonna get oil and you |
|
|
44:50 | much need to get way down in before you get, get any gas |
|
|
44:53 | of it all. Uh This in contrast to that type, uh |
|
|
44:59 | never get oil, you just get out of it somewhere in the middle |
|
|
45:04 | and pollen, eines. Uh and , it's probably not just the |
|
|
45:09 | it's also the material inside the it starts to uh because there are |
|
|
45:15 | in it. There are lipids inside these and uh there and its also |
|
|
45:22 | and the dinoflagellate have uh have lipids the and uh in uh you |
|
|
45:31 | I, I, I can remember three years ago people saying sign and |
|
|
45:40 | we have less places to come to that's one of them. But uh |
|
|
45:44 | actual fact, if you, if have a pano just sitting down at |
|
|
45:48 | front of you in an office like have had in the past, you |
|
|
45:52 | say, hey, come here, gonna show you what uh uh patrolling |
|
|
45:57 | little, uh a little bit. wanna see what oil looks like when |
|
|
46:03 | just comes out one of these things it's like a little, it's like |
|
|
46:05 | little spiral and, and shooting out it and it's all, and, |
|
|
46:10 | , it's been cooked, breaks through , the exon and, um, |
|
|
46:16 | , and that's what happens and, , there's another, uh, sort |
|
|
46:21 | special thing about this, um, spores and pollen, the exons that |
|
|
46:25 | , make up the, the whether it's the organism itself or some |
|
|
46:30 | their, uh, uh, pre cells is where a lot of it |
|
|
46:35 | from. Uh, that outer material resistant to almost all acids we've ever |
|
|
46:43 | . And so, uh, what do to find since they take rocks |
|
|
46:48 | they just sort of subject him to kind of acid people can think |
|
|
46:52 | And the that's left, there's there's no court, court is |
|
|
46:55 | We make sure you're uh suit it and, uh, when they do |
|
|
47:02 | it's, it's pretty much gone. , you have to do it step |
|
|
47:05 | is if you, if you start with say hi report and you have |
|
|
47:08 | carbonate, you're gonna have an explosion you have to be really careful. |
|
|
47:15 | , I'll tell you a secret from . The, you listen, can |
|
|
47:20 | hear me on the, uh, I first started working here, there |
|
|
47:24 | a professor who's not here anymore. had graduate students working with record and |
|
|
47:30 | protective gear was, you know, yellow rubber gloves, you get to |
|
|
47:34 | dishes. That's what that is not . That's what I need to |
|
|
47:43 | They have these, they have these , they call, uh, vials |
|
|
47:49 | hydro. We kind of switch them put them in and stuff like |
|
|
47:52 | But if, if one of those or anything breaks or leaks and, |
|
|
47:58 | , and I had, I put of my posts on the book because |
|
|
48:01 | was the lab that I would and posters on them and they were in |
|
|
48:06 | for a week, posters were, know, $3 million. Uh When |
|
|
48:11 | went out there, the whole thing a, it was like, I |
|
|
48:13 | was etched off from everything and the of a different column. And uh |
|
|
48:18 | think you were in that room for couple of years. But uh I |
|
|
48:23 | and talked to the professor and there no way in hell to explain to |
|
|
48:27 | , uh that he made a really mistake when I, when I worked |
|
|
48:31 | a, I went in the lab those guys had, um, they |
|
|
48:35 | shields on their feet and uh they their, their, their whole body |
|
|
48:39 | . And I, and I have friend in my wine tasting group that |
|
|
48:43 | a lot of people realize how dangerous things are. And she, she |
|
|
48:47 | a little bit on one of the and the stuff is so reactive. |
|
|
48:51 | just cuts right through your body in bones and everything. This, it |
|
|
48:55 | of rises it as it goes through you don't even feel it, but |
|
|
48:59 | you got a weak spot for the of your life or that one through |
|
|
49:02 | it doesn't totally take out and it actually take out large sections of the |
|
|
49:08 | . It, because again, it got in carbonate in your bones |
|
|
49:13 | um, it's not a good thing . Um, some fun things to |
|
|
49:19 | about. But again, it depends the type and of course, type |
|
|
49:23 | would be the best type. one of the things wrong with the |
|
|
49:27 | type is it's often got the longest and uh and it can be more |
|
|
49:33 | and uh and so that can be issue. So a lot of |
|
|
49:36 | a lot of the very good um that come from uh freshwater deposits uh |
|
|
49:45 | whatnot around the world like some of , the uh the wells in China |
|
|
49:49 | they have, they have huge uh that were ancient lakes. And uh |
|
|
49:53 | has places that were marginal marine to like uh that are full of these |
|
|
49:58 | too. And here is uh just you again, vinite reflect against uh |
|
|
50:10 | the oil window and here is And again, this chart, you |
|
|
50:14 | to know exactly what the carriage is the and the uh and the the |
|
|
50:19 | of it to, to get a on it on where you would pick |
|
|
50:22 | oil window. But this is an window here that's been picked. |
|
|
50:27 | uh, uh, you can see this is happening, let's say about |
|
|
50:32 | ft in this particular. Well, , here you can see another |
|
|
50:37 | Uh, they, uh, run things to sort out, um, |
|
|
50:43 | , how much oil you can generate a sample when they get oil. |
|
|
50:47 | you can, uh, and also can take the rock and do the |
|
|
50:50 | thing with certain kinds of carros and out what this profile should look, |
|
|
50:56 | like by, by uh heating it and, and seeing how it comes |
|
|
50:59 | for that particular Carro and uh total carbon uh amount. And uh and |
|
|
51:08 | they've got the vinite reflect against it depth. And here you can see |
|
|
51:12 | about uh this is three kilometers and said three, yeah, this |
|
|
51:17 | yeah, this is about three kilometers , 3000 m and uh all the |
|
|
51:21 | down here to nine. And uh one uh cuts off a little bit |
|
|
51:28 | than that. Here you here you're to nine kilometers on this oil |
|
|
51:33 | Uh you know, you here's where peak was in this one, but |
|
|
51:36 | can see you're still getting oil generation five kilometers. Ok. And, |
|
|
51:45 | here is here is just looking at generation and uh this is primarily biogenic |
|
|
51:51 | um near the top. And then you get deeper in it, this |
|
|
51:55 | a gas prone source, right? a type three, you can see |
|
|
51:59 | the curve is completely different uh uh time and of course, it's always |
|
|
52:03 | be C H four methane. So there's different ways of getting these |
|
|
52:12 | . There, there's, and there gonna get different profiles for different types |
|
|
52:17 | , OK. That's something you But in general, there's a couple |
|
|
52:21 | other things that happen and you can here um, that we, uh |
|
|
52:30 | look at the onset of court 11 of the things that, that |
|
|
52:35 | segmentation requires is what would it for me to get a submit? |
|
|
52:40 | do I have to have included? not a problem. Ok. This |
|
|
52:45 | , of course. Ok. So have to have this. Ok. |
|
|
52:53 | . Well, calcium carbonate is a , is a different chart. But |
|
|
52:57 | , of course, uh you you, you have to, you |
|
|
53:01 | to get to the point where it's enough that you start to see disillusion |
|
|
53:06 | , of the, if you don't this, you know, if you |
|
|
53:09 | butter and you have pork green or usually not court. It's a, |
|
|
53:14 | a, it's a, it is , but it's a different form, |
|
|
53:17 | course. And you say like the in the sea might be like the |
|
|
53:21 | in a uh you know, biogenic . And um, and when |
|
|
53:27 | when you, when you start to it up, it goes into solution |
|
|
53:32 | once it goes into solution, you to analyze, analyze and the |
|
|
53:35 | So if they can concentrate, uh not gonna cool. But if they |
|
|
53:39 | concentrate, um they will start this and that's something that just happens, |
|
|
53:45 | gets seated and it just starts And uh and so when you reach |
|
|
53:51 | point, something that starts happening, addition to compassion, you start to |
|
|
53:57 | significant uh too. So that's a important point. But if we're looking |
|
|
54:03 | the total petroleum system, what happens this time? We get around here |
|
|
54:14 | this point, we're getting in what at those temperatures in centigrade, what |
|
|
54:21 | they look like your reason and you ? So there's, there's a period |
|
|
54:29 | time when it's really close to oil and court cementation started off. And |
|
|
54:38 | sometimes it's a critical moment when you have maturation and charge and uh and |
|
|
54:47 | I should preserve something. What, would happen if maturation didn't happen? |
|
|
54:54 | example, in something that had to cooked longer, the maturation started |
|
|
54:59 | What could have, what could possibly ? Well, we, we skip |
|
|
55:06 | different. OK. Well, what is you start losing your force |
|
|
55:11 | you start losing your, your So you lose a pro and permeability |
|
|
55:16 | it makes it, it makes it and harder to charge that thing. |
|
|
55:21 | there's a, there's a critical moment that oil starts moving that it needs |
|
|
55:25 | to migrate and get into those open . And uh but there's acceptance and |
|
|
55:33 | again, you got these fluids going there, there are places like in |
|
|
55:37 | um the north slope, I believe is what I'm thinking of right |
|
|
55:42 | I, you know, I've been about some of things that I got |
|
|
55:46 | uh but the uh they have barrier and they have um tidy. Which |
|
|
55:58 | do you think typically has the best bar for a time? There's |
|
|
56:10 | Ok. So why would you go here and you drill the wells and |
|
|
56:14 | nothing in the barriers but there's stuff the, in the what could cause |
|
|
56:23 | things like this, the the inability better in the so more, so |
|
|
56:30 | cement was able, more canines and were able to accumulate it early |
|
|
56:36 | And so it filled in with it uh charge and you couldn't charge |
|
|
56:41 | because it was already up and where canine and a couldn't get in as |
|
|
56:48 | . Uh because it was uh the didn't happen. And of course, |
|
|
56:53 | maybe started getting lit in some places it might even fracture and that kind |
|
|
56:58 | thing, but it's still got to because, because the source of the |
|
|
57:04 | uh wasn't as rich in, in thing that had less permeability. |
|
|
57:13 | So, um you know, we of the best of everything and then |
|
|
57:16 | course, something like that can come and, and flip a switch on |
|
|
57:20 | and uh something that's not the best up being the best because of the |
|
|
57:24 | of uh of uh something like OK. And this is uh showing |
|
|
57:32 | . Um these are one of the I hate, but uh engineers love |
|
|
57:37 | because, you know, as things buried deeper and deeper, it's interesting |
|
|
57:42 | my cursor is right on it. you know, porosity is reduced with |
|
|
57:50 | , but sometimes porosity can be preserved depth like I just told you for |
|
|
57:55 | reasons. And uh and so if ever working in an area, |
|
|
58:00 | if you, if you take a uh vertical profiles of porosity and plot |
|
|
58:06 | , it's gonna look like this. when you're working in a field, |
|
|
58:10 | not gonna look like this all the . And uh you're gonna see things |
|
|
58:14 | , that are uh much, much porosity or much lower porosity than you |
|
|
58:19 | have expected. And um it's it's a matter of having a workflow |
|
|
58:28 | a set, a priority assumption of the process is gonna be based on |
|
|
58:33 | and it can get you in But nevertheless, it, it, |
|
|
58:36 | something to consider in any case. here you can see mechanical compaction goes |
|
|
58:43 | way up here, you know, than um less than a kilometer in |
|
|
58:50 | here. You can see this is a granular pressure solution going on and |
|
|
58:55 | um um, this is really critical limestones and here we get, |
|
|
59:01 | Calci cement can form at the Um, it wasn't there yesterday. |
|
|
59:08 | there, tomorrow, gosh, limestones so scared and here's court cementation pretty |
|
|
59:17 | range. It's quicker than what they over there. But here you can |
|
|
59:21 | , uh, uh, in the chart but here you can see that's |
|
|
59:24 | that's going on. Here's uh, we start seeing dolomite cement and here's |
|
|
59:29 | generation. And so you got, wanna, when that oil starts to |
|
|
59:34 | , you want to get it to into a lot of these things as |
|
|
59:38 | as possible, uh get it uh the reservoirs if they're there. And |
|
|
59:44 | gas generation. And so gas generation likely be in more fractured porosity |
|
|
59:50 | than just primary porosity as it turns in a lot of cases. It |
|
|
59:59 | . OK. So sort of in let me see where we're at in |
|
|
60:13 | . Oh, yeah, we're getting to that. That's it. We're |
|
|
60:16 | the end of this, this OK. I have um 100 and |
|
|
60:25 | slides for this lecture, but you get 70 something. So you're getting |
|
|
60:32 | off. But uh that's one of poor jokes. But anyway, um |
|
|
60:38 | key elements of course are the the basin type and the stratigraphy. |
|
|
60:44 | um when we start looking at a of things called plays, I've kind |
|
|
60:49 | mentioned it but we haven't gotten to we define it yet, but we're |
|
|
60:53 | get to that pretty soon after I you some examples of uh of uh |
|
|
61:00 | exploration areas. Uh but stratigraphy becomes important because of all of these things |
|
|
61:10 | terms of developing a plan. it also relates to developing fields. |
|
|
61:19 | The basin type uh has a lot do with the timing of books, |
|
|
61:24 | of things and location of books, know, where are the sands gonna |
|
|
61:27 | , where are the shells? And and of course, it's really critical |
|
|
61:34 | know that you have a regional source . You have a source rock that's |
|
|
61:38 | widespread in an area. And uh likely charging any reservoirs that you have |
|
|
61:44 | were available when, when it was for migration to occur. Ok. |
|
|
62:18 | . We, and when we got with frontier exploration, we, we |
|
|
62:22 | about very briefly some examples when we at the Claire stuff uh in the |
|
|
62:30 | West of Shetland Islands area we looked and some other things, but now |
|
|
62:36 | just gonna um show you some frontier cases and uh what do you think |
|
|
62:43 | be um a real focus for me on this after I, I've just |
|
|
62:55 | you kind of the elements of frontier . Um And I'm gonna, I'm |
|
|
63:01 | show you some examples of planter story kind of like this is how it |
|
|
63:07 | . This is how and then what you, what do you, what |
|
|
63:09 | you think one of the critical ways I wanna try to get across to |
|
|
63:12 | about let's create prospects in producing oil gas. Ok. That's one of |
|
|
63:21 | things. But, but in terms sort of the overall picture of the |
|
|
63:25 | and everything that it, what is important to understand that with your |
|
|
63:31 | it really has nothing to do about funding, It has to do with |
|
|
63:36 | else. Politics will be really But, but, but um for |
|
|
63:44 | , if I get some acreage and a resource, what's the first thing |
|
|
63:49 | think I need to do? You , resource plan would be, what |
|
|
63:54 | , what do I, what do need to do? Make sure you |
|
|
63:58 | sure you have the right. That's good idea. That's a really good |
|
|
64:02 | . But the first thing you're gonna , I think is we need to |
|
|
64:05 | wells. You gotta d, what is the first thing you think |
|
|
64:09 | when you go to an area and think this might be a place where |
|
|
64:12 | can start drilling wells? What, is one of the first things that |
|
|
64:17 | think about and its to what you're find. Economics, how much, |
|
|
64:24 | , how easy and the multiple, uh I think the thing to remember |
|
|
64:30 | it's, the time is very You know, I have lots of |
|
|
64:36 | whose opinion of the oil companies or is all, is turn about. |
|
|
64:42 | if they are that they are my things. Uh, all I have |
|
|
64:46 | do is say you just take you go and you go, |
|
|
64:49 | I, I don't remember what state was. It could have been Kentucky |
|
|
64:52 | West Virginia. But this guy, , this is a plant. |
|
|
64:59 | you guys remember the Beverly Hillbillies? . They go out and then they |
|
|
65:03 | shoot, shoots a hole in the with a shotgun because I don't |
|
|
65:07 | in clock or something, you it's my shot and just some people |
|
|
65:13 | it's that easy to produce. one of the most important things about |
|
|
65:17 | exploration is that if you're really good frontier exploration, it could take a |
|
|
65:21 | time to get, to get what call the, you know, you're |
|
|
65:25 | after a process. It, it a lot of money, patience and |
|
|
65:30 | . Now, one of the great about unconventional is that you or, |
|
|
65:34 | know, where all those, you know, where a lot of |
|
|
65:36 | elements are, just know how rich are, how good they are. |
|
|
65:41 | so you're starting sort of in the of the whole month and trying to |
|
|
65:46 | out what's going on and, uh, but in that front, |
|
|
65:50 | fronts are ex, you, you even have a flu sometimes, but |
|
|
65:57 | formation is gonna be the, you know, a lot of ex |
|
|
66:02 | they started to see they were going Jurassic San. So they saw |
|
|
66:06 | they could figure out, you uh even at the, at the |
|
|
66:10 | , many people who live in, knew that there would be something like |
|
|
66:17 | in, in the, they knew from the size of it was only |
|
|
66:24 | , but uh when they drilled for of these, they had the chalks |
|
|
66:28 | the bill started coming out. And they had a hard time. So |
|
|
66:34 | there's surprises, but most of the it takes a long time. And |
|
|
66:37 | I talked about Mobile Bay, it him nine years just to get environmental |
|
|
66:42 | to drill a well. And uh I mean, that's a long |
|
|
66:47 | Uh especially if the price of oil up to, you know, 100 |
|
|
66:53 | $10 a barrel and everybody's screaming about . Why don't you just turn a |
|
|
66:57 | is because you can't, uh the needs to. Unfortunately, we need |
|
|
67:03 | constantly be looking for oil and Even when the price goes down, |
|
|
67:08 | need to be looking for it. that when the price comes back |
|
|
67:10 | we can actually find something that's economically . And uh the saddest thing about |
|
|
67:17 | all. And I still have to this is that, you know, |
|
|
67:20 | need to get our carbon footprint So how many of you uh raise |
|
|
67:25 | hand if you think, you know , the number one greenhouse gasses on |
|
|
67:29 | planet. Yes. Ok. What it? It's water. Yes, |
|
|
67:37 | water. H2o there's hydrogen in Ok. What happens? What happens |
|
|
67:44 | we, um, when we start hydrogen to get safe water coming out |
|
|
67:50 | it? What's gonna happen? No, it won't produce any |
|
|
67:59 | It's just, it's gonna produce water the water is gonna be water, |
|
|
68:02 | water vapor goes up in this He increases the greenhouses. We, |
|
|
68:09 | , co2, um, actually absorbs , uh, energy than water. |
|
|
68:16 | also, and methane is even like 52 times worse. Oh, |
|
|
68:22 | , um, but nevertheless, we have a lot of water to put |
|
|
68:25 | water in the atmosphere. Somehow. have to get it out of starting |
|
|
68:29 | pull hydrogen out of the ground and it into the water by burning it |
|
|
68:35 | of converting oxygen and hydrogen into a to the season. It's, |
|
|
68:52 | I hope I'm not the first person heard this from. But, but |
|
|
68:57 | hope they understand what they're doing. , um, the world is |
|
|
69:02 | uh, it's a whole list. , the world is huge with so |
|
|
69:05 | variables. We can't even imagine things on that we can't imagine. |
|
|
69:10 | uh, and it's really hard for to realize that any time we tinker |
|
|
69:15 | anything we're, we're tinkering with the is, is probably a good way |
|
|
69:20 | put it and we have to be and we have to be thoughtful and |
|
|
69:23 | have to think about it because what, and you remember some of |
|
|
69:26 | lectures I talked to you before. is the one thing that happens that |
|
|
69:33 | when the industrial revolution started to We started burning the hydrocarbon. |
|
|
69:38 | but what else happened when we started the hydrocarbon, which is what happened |
|
|
69:42 | . Almost. At the same the culture culture exploded. You |
|
|
69:48 | and we also started impounding fresh water evaporates spec and sea water, we |
|
|
69:54 | pulling fresh butter out of the Um A lot of people like to |
|
|
69:57 | , well, it's, you it's a cycle it from it. |
|
|
70:00 | if you put more water into it's gonna be, it's gonna be |
|
|
70:05 | uh what's the question around right now gonna be? And uh we still |
|
|
70:11 | , we still have, uh because our schedule, we still have eight |
|
|
70:16 | because we're, we're working on the catch up schedule. OK. |
|
|
70:21 | um again, I'm not gonna read again, but these are the things |
|
|
70:26 | I've pointed out. Um This is . I don't, I don't know |
|
|
70:33 | it was, but there's a couple slides in that last lecture that |
|
|
70:37 | made a lot of my tools not up. And uh I actually see |
|
|
70:42 | smaller thing like this with all my all my little options and I see |
|
|
70:47 | next slide and all sorts of but that wasn't happening in the, |
|
|
70:49 | the last one. Anyway, I'm gonna read through this again because I've |
|
|
70:53 | you this. But again, source really important. And, uh in |
|
|
70:58 | book, um, they talk about E number one. So take a |
|
|
71:04 | at that, they also talk about South China Sea, but before it |
|
|
71:08 | gotten to a point to where it right now and actually what I'm gonna |
|
|
71:12 | you, uh, is probably 10 old by now. Not 20 but |
|
|
71:16 | years. And, uh, and there's the east coast. Um, |
|
|
71:21 | still frontier when I first made this . I said, maybe frontier for |
|
|
71:26 | while. Uh Why do you think might have said that? What happened |
|
|
71:30 | 2009? Does anybody remember? Not ? But 2009, the condo was |
|
|
71:42 | . But what happened in 2009? like a kid or something with a |
|
|
71:49 | president? They got permission, the , the Democratic Party gave permission to |
|
|
71:58 | a lot further steps. And, unfortunately, the Macondo, well, |
|
|
72:05 | kind of mix that in a lot other good ideas. And, uh |
|
|
72:09 | again, I, I understand why it happened, um, |
|
|
72:13 | when any of our players in the industry, uh do something really bad |
|
|
72:19 | that, you know, it's it's gonna be hell to pay and |
|
|
72:22 | just the way it is. And , and it's, it damaged |
|
|
72:26 | the entire industry for a long It's, it's still having an |
|
|
72:30 | And again, you know, this, this carbon problem that we're |
|
|
72:33 | about. Uh, again, it's an issue but the, but the |
|
|
72:37 | there too is that the cost and time that it's gonna take to ramp |
|
|
72:41 | all these other alternative sources is just dragging awfully slip. So anyway, |
|
|
72:46 | are the ones I'm gonna go uh, in this section, it's |
|
|
72:49 | be South China Sea, it's gonna east coast of the US and the |
|
|
72:53 | water offshore of Mexico. And uh the luau structure from 82 to |
|
|
73:04 | Um These are the major concerns I don't want to read it, |
|
|
73:10 | some of the things are, you , we have this really terrible |
|
|
73:14 | Uh We can see a really big structure. We think it could be |
|
|
73:19 | read or not a read. It be an against Nazi. And uh |
|
|
73:24 | we're not sure what it is and we're trying to figure out if, |
|
|
73:29 | , what we think is a, uh read a large red deposit on |
|
|
73:35 | structural high, uh what would make the reservoir. And uh this is |
|
|
73:41 | reason I was really thrilled because they , you know, it's so |
|
|
73:45 | we gotta try it and uh and ok, I might take a few |
|
|
73:51 | minutes. OK. So, um we uh that, that was kind |
|
|
73:58 | the issue and, um, the thing, what's, what's at the |
|
|
74:02 | , what is the major concern that list up here, the migration distance |
|
|
74:15 | really extend. It's pretty far for typical, uh, field. |
|
|
74:20 | Normally you want your, uh, rock right underneath it. So it |
|
|
74:24 | has to go one way. uh, because sometimes when it goes |
|
|
74:28 | , dip in rocks, it actually its character. It can get sometimes |
|
|
74:32 | but often worse. Uh Some of Venezuelan oils are very heavy because of |
|
|
74:40 | . Ok. So, um, where it was, um, I |
|
|
74:46 | we might have a hard time drilling there right now for some reason. |
|
|
74:51 | , but a lot of drilling had done in this area and nothing, |
|
|
74:54 | even close to economic had been And, uh, one of |
|
|
75:00 | uh I was working on the Lester thing and one of the uh uh |
|
|
75:04 | issues here was how good are lacustrine and, and I was working on |
|
|
75:08 | Lacune Basin project was actually the director it. And um, one of |
|
|
75:13 | things that we, we sorted out that, that these types of source |
|
|
75:17 | are huge and, uh, you , you really don't wanna overlook them |
|
|
75:22 | you get an opportunity to drill And that, that was kind of |
|
|
75:25 | input that I had in it with and uh several other people at the |
|
|
75:28 | center. And uh here is, the size of the structure here. |
|
|
75:35 | um um here's uh it was when was first discovered there's two billion barrels |
|
|
75:45 | place. Uh They came up with after that and the uh uh one |
|
|
75:50 | the first wells was uh producing 2800 per day. And so that's pretty |
|
|
75:57 | and just about anywhere to get, get uh close to, to um |
|
|
76:04 | barrels of oil a day out of well. Ok. And um the |
|
|
76:14 | wells had, they were anticlines really to the source rock. This one |
|
|
76:18 | not close to the source rock. was a little bit farther away. |
|
|
76:21 | that's uh that's a pretty good I kind of repeat that in different |
|
|
76:24 | here. But uh but some of geology there made this uh a little |
|
|
76:30 | intriguing. Um Here's what the section like and uh here is, this |
|
|
76:38 | one of the things um here, they call this closed system, Saline |
|
|
76:49 | and uh fluvial deposits here. They marine Saline, freshwater lake and freshwater |
|
|
76:56 | . You back right in. They have some source rocks in here and |
|
|
77:00 | is the fourth side is how I it may be the wrong way. |
|
|
77:04 | It was Chinese but uh they had source rock in here, very, |
|
|
77:08 | low T O C source rocks up . Um had uh um yeah, |
|
|
77:17 | is, this is from and and that this one um was basically |
|
|
77:26 | ancient saving lake that was sodium, carbon enriched. This, this interpretation |
|
|
77:33 | , was my interpretation. This interpretation what everybody before that thought and it |
|
|
77:39 | large near sea continentally marine continental abnormal continent. Like in other |
|
|
77:49 | they couldn't figure it out. Uh they didn't understand when they wrote |
|
|
77:53 | Like this was here's a boundary right . This is a sale. This |
|
|
77:58 | a sodium chloride dominated green light It's very small. Uh And, |
|
|
78:03 | it uh in the phosphorus gets taken of his appetite because it's sodium fluoride |
|
|
78:09 | when you process boundary right here. like night and day in the fossil |
|
|
78:15 | because the things in the beer can the salinity, the things of the |
|
|
78:20 | . So could be the actual salinity could be exactly the same the composition |
|
|
78:26 | well. This composition though uh had propensity to, to stimulate hydrocarbon |
|
|
78:35 | the algae, the algae, uh of the items in here through |
|
|
78:41 | OK, we have these 2025 26% O C. So OK. And |
|
|
78:50 | is, um here we're uh I'm gonna get through the maps here and |
|
|
78:55 | let you guys go, we'll do cross sections when we get back on |
|
|
78:59 | and uh we'll get through this in a big chunk of uh exploration |
|
|
79:03 | uh next week. And uh but , um uh these, these mass |
|
|
79:10 | , are structural highs uh but it , and some of the structural highs |
|
|
79:16 | gonna have a lot of igneous But the question is, is a |
|
|
79:20 | of, of uh sediment on top it. And if there is, |
|
|
79:25 | is it, is it a reservoir , what is it, it turns |
|
|
79:28 | ? And this is a particular they'll find out that we had an |
|
|
79:31 | rock in the and we had a from the mice and is a, |
|
|
79:38 | um a platform bag type deposit. , it, when sea level was |
|
|
79:43 | little bit higher, it went underwater the sea level was a little bit |
|
|
79:47 | . It got uh uh rainwater meteor to, to filter through it and |
|
|
79:55 | it create a process. So it's all the right things. So you're |
|
|
79:59 | find out that this was almost an thing to happen, but it happened |
|
|
80:04 | it happened on a very large It's a carbonate bank. And uh |
|
|
80:11 | mean, uh the Massey dough was uh but there was, there was |
|
|
80:18 | underneath the, there were sedimentary rocks the limestones and then there were the |
|
|
80:23 | and the sediments underneath it were a . You can come in. Uh |
|
|
80:29 | can stop now. Ok. Thank guys for staying a little late. |
|
|
80:48 | question. Excuse me. Yeah. about it? So, I guess |
|
|
81:04 | than 100% like it's bouncing on It's like the gas return. I |
|
|
81:11 | to go in a good place if trust that. That's the answer. |
|
|
81:18 | . Excellent. Excuse me? I a room very quickly because they have |
|
|
81:22 | time for me. Oh, I'm , I'm, I'm moving fast. |
|
|
81:26 | moving fast. You can do whatever need to. Mhm. Take care |
|
|
81:31 | . Sure. Uh, could you more quickly? We're going to have |
|
|
81:46 | . Yeah, they're gonna have a . We need to get out of |
|
|
81:49 | . I'm sorry to hold you Ok. So we have, |
|
|
81:56 | in and also, |
|
