Unconventional Wisdom—It’s More than Just Technology

Shale reservoirs are continuous accumulations in which the same formation often serves as the source, reservoir and seal for commercial accumulations of natural gas. Intrabasinal differences within continuous accumulations account for the indistinctly bound areas of better gas production termed “sweet spots” by operators. Generally similar sets of facies have been recognized in the Barnett Shale in the Fort Worth basin by all recent workers. Dark mudstone to claystone with a matrix of clay minerals and cryptocrystalline quartz is the most common depositional facies in the Barnett. Two predominantly calcareous depositional facies are next in abundance—argillaceous lime mudstone and skeletal, argillaceous lime packstone. A variety of minor depositional and diagenetic facies are also present. The abundance and distribution of facies changes with geographic location within the basin and stratigraphic position within the Barnett. The most obvious example of this is the relative abundance of calcareous depositional facies in the northern portion of the basin compared to their relative scarcity in the central portion of the basin. All of the major facies recognized in the Barnett have high concentrations of organic matter. Variation in facies is greater than variation in organic matter content. The location of “sweet spots” with higher production rates within the Barnett may ultimately be explained by the distribution of facies that respond differently to various completion procedures. As the play matures it is likely that a detailed understanding of the geology, especially the distribution of facies, will become increasingly important in selecting well locations, intervals in which to land laterals, and which fracture stimulation techniques to employ.

2 Sweeps or Not 2 Sweeps

The source effort in Vibroseis exploration and the amount of time invested in this component of the seismic project can be reduced by taking a look at how many sweeps are performed on each point. Field testing of the Vibroseis source into a 2D Line with acceptable fold and capturing each sweep individually at the test is needed. The individual sweeps can then be processed using differing number of total sweeps to determine the acceptable number of sweeps prior to the start up of the 3D Survey. Field Testing has indicated that there are Vibroseis sourced surveys that can be acquired with as few as 1 sweep and with higher fold. A discussion of time and costs within a Vibroseis 3D Survey and data samples from field testing will illustrate the value of fewer sweeps per Vibroseis source location within a 3D Survey.

Lower Tertiary Trend in Deepwater Gulf of Mexico - Challenges and Potential Rewards

The emerging Lower Tertiary Wilcox Trend of the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico is the latest exploratory trend since the deepwater sub-salt Miocene trend was ignited 10 years ago with large discoveries like Thunder Horse and Tahiti. The deepwater Miocene has delivered over 8 billion BOE to date, and the Lower Tertiary Trend has delivered over 3 billion BOE so far, with much of the trend yet to be explored. The Lower Tertiary Wilcox is a 300-mile-long, primarily sub-salt, trend in the ultra-deep water targeting some of the oldest and deepest clastic reservoirs yet developed in the Gulf of Mexico. In the Wilcox trend, the oil fields discovered to date have been very large with significant pay thickness. However, these discoveries have flow rate challenges created by lower permeability rocks and low mobility hydrocarbons. Chevron’s record-setting deep well test at the “Jack Field” was an important milestone in confirming the producibility and commerciality of the significant oil in place in these ultra-deep Wilcox reservoirs. Chevron believes that the key to unlocking the value of the Lower Tertiary Wilcox trend will be the practical application of existing technologies, the rapid maturation of new technologies and efficient sharing of infrastructure development. Economic development of this new trend will require companies to work closely with others in the industry as new fields are discovered and new challenges are overcome.

Location: Ellison Miles Geotechnology Institute Brookhaven College, Farmers Branch, Texas 75244
Speaker: Alfred Liaw

Event Details:

Low Saturation Gas Reservoirs Discrimination – An Integrated Approach

Low saturation gas reservoirs are commonly found in the deep to ultra-deep water
environment of the Gulf of Mexico. Most low saturation gas reservoirs result from a breached seal or insufficient charge in a petroleum system. The breached seals could take place either from past or on-going leakages. A breach in a top seal and/or a fault seal can easily result in a low saturation gas reservoir. It has been a major technical challenge to identify low saturation gas reservoirs before penetrating them. Since deepwater exploration drilling has been extremely expensive, assessing risk for those amplitude targets can have significant economic impact.

AVO analysis, amplitude vs. background (A/B), amplitude conformable with depth structure, and low frequency shadow are the technologies commonly applied to validate gas reservoirs in Tertiary Basins. We analyzed seismic amplitudes, AVO responses, instantaneous frequencies, and effective stress over 10 discoveries and 12 dry holes in an area near the intersection of Mississippi Canyon, Atwater Valley, Desoto Canyon, and Lloyd Ridge of Eastern Gulf of Mexico. The study area falls in the vicinity of the Independent Hub producing fields. The water depths range from 7,000 to 9,000 ft. Based on the analysis results, the team formulates an integrated workflow, by applying differential weights to the index of A/B, AVO, low frequency shadows, and effective stress, to mitigate the uncertainty of risk for all Miocene amplitude plays. The workflow was applied to rank 13 prospects. The integrated methodology has been proven as an effective way to reduce the uncertainty on predicting the occurrence of low saturation gas reservoirs.

THE SHAPE OF 3D SEISMIC INTERPRETATION

Seismic interpreters routinely use the shape of an interpreted surface in developing prospects, with the classic hydrocarbon trap being a ridge-shaped anticline. Carbonate buildups may appear as dome-shaped and karst collapse features as bowl-shaped. Differential compaction often results in valley-shapes over shale-filled channels.

The interpretational value of a given shape is dependent on its depositional, diagenetic, and tectonic deformation context. If the channel fill is sand and the surrounding matrix shale, differential compaction can result in an incised valley appearing as a ridge, thereby providing a lithologic indicator. In flat-lying carbonates, joints will often be diagenetically altered and appear as valleys, while fracture intersections will appear as bowls. As always, the interpreter needs to be aware of the seismic data quality. In areas of limited lateral and vertical resolution, diffuse, or poorly-imaged faults may give rise to a recognizable shape anomaly. Negatively, velocity pull-up may induce deeper ridges and push-down deeper valleys on what might actually be flat structure.

Coupled with coherence, which delineates reflector edges, volumetric shape helps us rapidly recognize structural and stratigraphic style on horizontal and vertical slices. Pop-up blocks may appear as a ridge bounded on both sides by low-coherence faults. Listric faults may be associated with a ridge-shaped roll-over anticline. Gas- and water-charged debris flow that can be drilling hazards may appear as high-coherence, dome shaped blocks.

Quantitative measures of reflector shape computed from uninterpreted seismic volumes are a by-product of volumetric curvature. Volumetric curvature is now well-established in the interpretation community, with workflows developed to correlate healed fracture zones to ridges in shale plays to help guide hydraulic fracture stimulation programs. While the shape of an anomaly is most-easily understood in terms of reflector geometry, we can also compute the ‘shape’ of reflector amplitude and acoustic impedance. For instance, we find that ‘valleys’ of low acoustic impedance are correlated to structural ridges in the Woodford Shale of the Arkoma Basin, suggesting the presence of either fractures or diagenetic alteration.

More recently, we have made progress in the volumetric quantification of pinch-outs and unconformities, providing images of both the magnitude and azimuth of reflector convergence. We have also made progress in volumetric mapping of flexures, delineating areas where the curvature changes most rapidly, often associated with drag or antithetic faulting about major faults.

I will illustrate these concepts through application to data acquired in the Midcontinent and Texas.

'Giant' Oil Dicovery in Gulf of Mexico

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 15:00:00 GMT

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/article/107659/bp-makes-giant-oil-find-in-gulf-of-mexico

LONDON (Reuters) - Oil major BP Plc said it has made an oil discovery in the Gulf of Mexico, which analysts believe could contain over 1 billion barrels of recoverable reserves, reaffirming the Gulf's strategic importance to the industry.

BP said in a statement on Wednesday that it had made the "giant" find at its Tiber Prospect in the Keathley Canyon block 102, by drilling one of the deepest wells ever sunk by the industry.

Further appraisal will be required to ascertain the size of volumes of oil present, but a spokesman said the find should be bigger than its Kaskida discovery which has over 3 billion barrels of oil in place.

Estimates of recoverable reserves range from around 20 percent of oil in place.

"Assuming reserves in place of 4 billion barrels and a 35 percent recovery rate, BP's proven reserves .. would rise by 868 million barrels -- equivalent to 4.8 percent of the group's 18.14 billion barrels of proven reserves," Aymeric De-Villaret, oil analyst at Societe Generale said in a research note.

BP, the biggest oil producer in the U.S. and biggest leaseholder in the Gulf of Mexico, has a 62 percent working interest in the block, while Brazilian state-controlled Petrobras owns 20 percent and U.S. oil major ConocoPhillips owns 18 percent.

Iain Armstrong, analyst at Brewin Dolphin, said the discovery may have implications for long-term oil prices.

"It will ease concerns about peak oil because it shows there is life left in these mature areas," he said, adding that it could be the second half of the next decade before the find is producing.

The discovery also bodes well for other exploration in that part of the Gulf of Mexico, including at Royal Dutch Shell's nearby Great White field, Jason Kenny, oil analyst at ING in Edinburgh, said.

BP shares, which had been trading slightly down ahead of the statement, closed up 4.3 percent at 541 pence, outperforming a 1.75 percent rise in the DJ Stoxx European oil and gas sector index.

The Gulf of Mexico has become increasingly important to Western oil majors as oil rich-countries such as Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and Russia reserve their richest fields to be developed by their state-owned oil companies.

The Gulf is especially attractive because it offers high profit margins, due to relatively low taxation compared to countries such as Russia and Nigeria, and because of the low political risk.

As nearer-shore discoveries dry up, companies have pushed further out to sea, which has forced them to develop new technologies to detect and extract the oil.

The prospects for massive discoveries in the deep water of the Gulf of Mexico is also good news for U.S. politicians' ambitions to reduce the country's reliance on imported oil, although oil executives doubt the U.S. is capable of becoming self sufficient in oil.
