00:01 e I ask you a question? time. Yeah, Like a.

00:10 hardest thing for me is after, when trying to start with the well

00:14 . Either a two D three D declined to help, Like late in

00:16 the two world. And then the that I have to go from a

00:20 to a straight line and try to high, Everything back around always.

00:23 I'm using the shells alone to I always get super confused on,

00:30 , correlating the sand bodies back and . And sometimes I get super messed

00:34 where I've got, um, I'm correlating the top of one unit

00:37 the bottom of another or something like . That's how they, uh,

00:42 bust. Yeah, there's no there's simple that you have to use your

00:50 , you know, and we'll talk this more than the next lecture.

00:57 about what I call model driven Right. So you know what?

01:03 ? What concept? You used to do a correlation. So,

01:09 yeah, let's get back to the . And then I think I think

01:13 that question probably you could all see slide again. We get there.

01:19 , we left off you out. , So part of the point is

01:27 on this slide here that, you , we got terror truncation, you

01:31 , a parachute conspired, side We've got down lap. I should

01:35 asking you to do this, You know, tell me what the

01:38 is. Very right. Uh, we're sort of interpreting those based on

01:42 well known fluctuations so that straight truncation interpreted, not observed directly now.

01:51 mean, you might say, you know. Okay, that's

01:53 So, you know, we're not that it's down. I think it

01:58 disappear, so but you know Z And even in seismic data,

02:03 know, when you see two reflections together, you know, maybe the

02:08 continues its just a scythe. E a question, sir. Is it

02:17 ? Maybe I missed it, but is a three D seismic volume in

02:22 area. No. Okay, but are some two D seismic profiles.

02:28 , it doesn't really matter. If was gonna put the waves on

02:31 it would look like that. All this con forms would be Would

02:36 would be with the way. This This is Alberta Basin. You got

02:41 problems? Glaciation, terrain way. get good seismic data from from the

02:47 Deep Basin, right? Yeah. not a good place to do any

02:51 with photography. All this amazing geology you would almost never see on the

02:56 size and how deep it was. , this is said. Yeah,

03:04 a couple of 1000 m deep. not that, you know deep

03:07 Yeah. Okay. Frosties loathe velocity between sandwich isn't great getting it

03:14 Alberta. Based on it, z kind of pretty tight reservoirs. So

03:19 they're not particularly old rocks, they're tight. Well cemented and size of

03:22 just. Yeah, mhm. Which again, which is not a point

03:28 you got really bad seismic data. may not see all these great

03:32 I'm showing the side lines that have picked because they show up on

03:36 But there's a lot of side you at, you say I can't see

03:41 , all of them, you So there you go. You

03:44 So this cross section you like I think is a simple cross section from

03:49 larger cross section back in the day sprained. My big cross sections have

03:54 20 ft long and I stick up the E anyway. Come. It's

04:02 of stop doing that because it's just much to carry around here. I'm

04:05 a blip on the prologue, and just It probably gets truncated there.

04:11 just disappeared. I just can't carry well, so I'm quite happy to

04:14 a market for a while on, jump to something else, right?

04:18 there's a marker, right? It looks like it on laps.

04:20 one there and it just it just . I just couldn't constantly pick it

04:25 the adjacent well, so I just to another one, you know,

04:28 it still managed to sort of get overall, lack our relationships to mark

04:32 big blackout services, which big, black lines on this particular process.

04:38 may have to correlate multiple markers or on the well log, and you'll

04:43 now that I'm not using secret structural anymore. But sometimes you just see

04:47 mark on a well log, and nice if you know what it

04:50 It's nice if it's something that correlates clear office law surface. But

04:56 you know, just might be a highly cemented authorized It may correlate with

05:01 surface, and you sort of hope the best, right? So there

05:04 a bit of art sometimes, according , uh, this is very organized

05:09 where plants has deliberately picked the of course, in Paris sequences.

05:13 it's pretty clear what, What the is in the head Horrific part of

05:17 When you get distantly and start to you maybe maybe a bit more guests

05:23 Look at a chance to practice that ? When I give your assignment

05:27 you actually already happy scientists. uh, you probably haven't looked a

05:31 I remember. I think I already you this. This is the pseudo

05:34 on display from Carthage field thistles Work by Jared Hammer with my U H

05:39 students when he was a full time Anadarko and they allowed him Thio have

05:45 project, which is Reservoir Characterization Carthage , and also have that to be

05:50 master's thesis. Um, he, course exactly did exact same thing that

05:53 done which took this class on. he applied the hey applied this lecture

06:00 that data set looking it, and was kind of student that got an

06:05 plus and figure out exactly how to his online and understood. You know

06:10 he had to do that to correlate big flooding surfaces and, uh,

06:15 the Paris sequences on that allowed him thio map the a p d r

06:22 combination successions. Very nice piece of . Still kind of sad that would

06:26 that, Uh And then here's an of work that one of my PhD

06:32 , based on very detailed outcrop measured in the fair and stand stone in

06:38 . And this is about 20 kilometers strategic graffiti so that the outcrop sections

06:44 no more than about a kilometer half parts and closer. And it

06:49 , you know, the the measure are close enough together that they over

06:54 the Paris sequences, allowing us to them on, then in for the

06:59 our relationship. In some places, know the lack of relationships occurring.

07:04 that covered way don't have good but nevertheless way thought we were ableto

07:09 what's going on. Right. you know, you know, sometimes

07:13 down off occurs in areas between Uh, you know, But clearly

07:19 know this units in this court, section, that section, that's that

07:23 that's gone there. Uh, you so again, way over,

07:27 some of things on that allows us , uh, Thio observed that there

07:31 a lot of forms in here on helps drive how we do correlations.

07:36 notice the correlation start is definitely very . Flu deal. You have relatively

07:41 top channel bouts with erosion basis flat channel about with erosion basis,

07:48 top channel, about erosion basis. is There is some weird security here

07:53 probably relates to the fact that we've a lower date and rather upper datum

07:58 some of these calls. May compact 21. So there may be some

08:03 effects here. It's also possible this V shaped thing here might relate to

08:09 little bit of structural uplift here and draped over a sort of structure.

08:15 , but the point being is that that way. So go to the

08:21 . You know, uh, step was looked at the regional pair of

08:26 . See is on the map This seems kind of out towards that

08:30 . So that allowed us to broadly proximate Vista way. No, this

08:34 gonna be the intersection that looks the . And so it's floating on

08:38 It's Marine below that were able to the various wealth is law flooding

08:43 Okay, as well as the erosion . A channel about caps, you

08:48 , in each section. And then we start making them together with,

08:54 sometimes you got close to space data you can check with correlations. Looks

08:58 the flu, Leo versus the main . How the challenge that's gonna go

09:04 then that this is just a schematic of that same cross section with with

09:09 taken taken off so you could just the correlations Better e. Once you've

09:14 correlations done, you could start analyzing stacking patterns. So this is the

09:19 patterns. This is, uh, toupee in this little basically shift

09:24 So it's It's what you generational from point that presidents and it's retro

09:30 At that point, it's aggregation of thing. There's another degradation start all

09:35 way down to hear that it goes all that back step. So

09:39 traditional backed aggregation all and we have that it degrades the grades again,

09:45 again that it degrades jokes Lambert away to here and then pro grades to

09:51 next 18 success. So those the that you have a p d that

09:57 under the drop recreation of the a a big drop that I showed overall

10:02 , back stepping retro gradation another a d. A long forced aggression,

10:07 back step and so on. And so a lot of these units.

10:13 we're doing is we're typically picking mud sandstone. Contact mud stones above the

10:19 surfaces. The very first one would is protect the banks lines completely with

10:23 stones. That's the date with Lousteau . So we use the markets in

10:29 mud stones at the beginning of the on typically, we sort of fit

10:36 sand stones in between the mud stones go through the key environmental information.

10:41 the record most of the geological Uh, in weather dogs, you

10:47 not be other sea life out directly must interplay between on. The interpretation

10:54 wells depends on whether or not you rocks basically flat line. Whether they

10:59 climate forms, they climb reforms. saw what they did, seamer.

11:03 did. They did laterally what direction did on that can that can be

11:09 by what you understand about regional. , darling, Because all the way

11:12 to step one. So the geological used currently they required good work on

11:18 one. Get the big picture. work on step to understand what the

11:22 are. Good work. Will uh, off off three, which

11:31 the walls. Small break. Good on step four, which is looking

11:35 spaced data sites. Um, our times have a very difficult time with

11:41 concept. Part effects. I've always disappointed when people show me their auto

11:46 , Uh, coronations in, oil students. The trick, of

11:53 , is that you have thio, know? So you have to use

11:57 , ideas and training to do correlations . What models will pick,

12:02 The idea that model is driven by understanding of the regional geology on your

12:08 . Faces right and faces Includes your of like, oh, Delta's con

12:14 channel belts relatively tablet, but have of margins right? Way back,

12:21 the postman chair with slapping clock reforms channel belts. And remember, you

12:27 , we know Jo McGowan, who only 10 to 20 years old,

12:31 Henry would would say, Henry's just model driven. It was like,

12:36 , so bad. He's model but we're always talking observations First,

12:41 changes later. You know, never your biased rob your interpretation. I'm

12:47 , How can you not do You know, if you don't have

12:50 concept or model, you know, what these are correlation programs when they

12:54 a really crappy job, you So totally objective correlations, I would

13:00 , probably don't exist, you because you have a complete data you

13:04 to use some concepts, will decide to interpret, you know all the

13:09 programs. They can't put those geological and heuristics into making better correlations.

13:17 I would argue that you have to moderately if you like the word

13:21 Just use the word hypothesis. Every understands that we have to do we

13:27 to stay the hypothesis that we're gonna way hypothesize. This is Delta.

13:32 try calling with platforms. Well, worked. Well, you know that

13:35 matches the troops over the years or you know, we hypothesized these clown

13:41 . We've done a correlation. Makes sense, doesn't match the field

13:45 Maybe maybe we need to pick another , right? Way need to

13:50 And an ideology all the time. use multiple working hypotheses. So,

13:55 know, this is a very traditional of doing geology. When I hear

14:00 geologist complain about being older, I'm , dude, like, do you

14:04 something better for me to use? all here, you know,

14:07 you know, I think I've got pretty good suite of models that I

14:10 in my brain. You've got a models. If you think using no

14:14 is better proven surely corporations about I think so. You're correlations of Europe's

14:19 liquor's demographic. They failed to find planet forms. Mr. Reservoir CEO

14:23 . I'm sorry, but you're right? You have increased the risk

14:27 our play and you're losing money for company. Right? So I tend

14:31 get pretty spicy about this stuff because just seen people get very angry about

14:36 dream. Correlation with the work they is terrible. I'm like, Why

14:39 that better? You know what is wrong? Better just because I'm using

14:43 bit more a bit more conceptual hypothesis to try to reduce the risk by

14:50 more informed. Correlation. Yes, requires using concepts and models, you

14:55 . Yes, it's biased, but hope is that it's the right

14:58 It's a scientific bias based on knowledge and good knowledge of faces.

15:03 . It's particularly E. That's why hear, folks, you're here.

15:08 here to learn about what is the bias to use in an interpretation.

15:14 . Now, let me talk about . You know, this is kind

15:17 one of my pet topics or pet , you know. And if you

15:22 a series of problems, here's a of well, logs, you

15:25 I mean, you can't do a unless you hang them on something,

15:30 ? You could always hanging on sea rocks to then, you know,

15:34 , you know, if you have you know, if you have a

15:38 , we hang on sea level, is always angle because you're doing a

15:41 cross section. It's really hard to security in a structural oriented world.

15:49 we tend to like to hang things close to strata, graphically horizontal we

15:55 , and then and then to form rocks, according the structure later,

15:58 we're gonna put that into a reservoir exploration water. So here's some very

16:03 resolution 100 Hertz data from the help of the of the medics eroded off

16:11 coast of France, and it's pretty that there's some flooding surface here.

16:16 pretty continuous and smooth. Then they . And then there's some flooding circuses

16:22 have these little undulations in it. , of course, represents a step

16:26 aggressions waken interpret, But the contacts light blue, orange, green you

16:33 , some of them were smooth. of them are flat. They all

16:38 have even though some of them smooth they still have, you know,

16:44 dip across the service. So, know, if I just had a

16:48 of wells here and each of these the delta off, right? So

16:54 I'm gonna turn this into a well century. Part about three.

16:57 with that, of course, in , sequences on I could pick my

17:00 surface. Which one do I hang ? Right. So here's Here's the

17:07 line as it is, Let's just Well, you know, Mediterranean

17:11 So I'm gonna hang it on that . Flooding service like like the battle

17:17 the castle booth duck tongue on the . Example. What's gonna happen?

17:22 gonna It's gonna drag up all these . All of a sudden, it's

17:27 look like values. There's no values . These are all flopping Deltek

17:33 There's not a valid to be found in this area. So now we

17:37 misinterpret. Geology is incised valleys truncating units. There's there's a family margin

17:43 lower, Um, although when that's awful at Delta in the above

17:46 That's correct. That zone that you know, is an artifact of

17:53 the top data. Okay, so the book cliffs. They found the

17:59 section of the locked up and lookie . We've got parasites. We've got

18:03 cloud forms, they're dipping seaward. now they're they're different language. They're

18:10 legs. They're taking the night. these acclimate form data. That's photography

18:16 they wanted a top datum, they that. We have to make it

18:19 like about Guess how John Van Wagoner all these temptations, as in

18:25 violence what they may not do. we see how the use of the

18:30 of the top data foundation with sports cloud reform package now he would have

18:36 better to use a lower datum. unfortunately that they there are good data

18:43 these Shales. But they're all covered covered something. The promise they weren't

18:47 for the job, just have access . So he was forced. It

18:50 not today. But in doing he distorted his captivity. That's not

18:57 . If you understand the distortion you're to sort of, if you will

19:00 through it. Fan backer wasn't so made an erroneous interpretation with these as

19:06 size valleys on. I'm gonna give an entire lecture on that in a

19:10 of weeks. So remember that I'm not criticizing the cross section.

19:17 pointing out how the choice of data bandwagon had no choice but to use

19:22 he didn't have the lower security but it did destroy security. I

19:26 think he fully under spirit, how distorted photography. And what's amazing is

19:32 John actually describes it in his and he actually in some ways sort

19:37 made his own mistakes. So, points out, this is a diagram

19:41 modified from textbooks. He shows two . So this is the same day

19:47 well on the upper diagram. They be outcrops sections. They picked the

19:53 of a thick short face and Al . You know, there's a

19:58 big cliff of sandstone, and then a big kickback recovered section, and

20:02 it's a very obvious little strata graphic , Okay, and then it's over

20:07 by intimated, uh, channels and deposits. That moment, way above

20:14 , is a contact between Marine Shales Horrific Food List settlements. But that's

20:18 , too, so that that's not real obvious pick in the outcome.

20:24 , but Job says no. That's main setting service that separates, you

20:28 , marine and, you know, marine and marine rocks below from a

20:35 share above. That's the maximum putting flattened on that. This contact between

20:41 split forming short face and the overlay rain. It may be a sharp

20:45 in one day, but it should a Zamel. It's not a time

20:49 any manufacturing floor in the new and then we recognize over thes units

20:55 trying for So in this unit we these weird sand stones at the shelf

21:00 correlate to nothing. So these should correlated. A strata graphic traps,

21:05 ? So you might say, Let's explore that it's a straight bat

21:09 From this diagram, any oil that to that sandstone is gonna is gonna

21:13 up. Most smooth track is way here, not down there. So

21:17 is that is not part that is an isolated threat. A graphic track

21:20 the lower model. It is in upper body. This is incorrect.

21:25 incorrect because because Zaman was was the battery, which is not a crime

21:31 graphic data. Okay. And you know, I read that text

21:40 on, you know, got the , as I tend to, you

21:44 , I understood John's message, and I was working on a geological geological

21:51 of the Western Canada separate basis. was looking at this unit called,

21:57 , Jumbo Sandstone with Alberta Base, it was very interesting things. Diagram

22:04 in a paper published by Lauren Rosenthal Roger Walker. Margin his masters with

22:11 and Lauren Did it alcohol strata Graphic analysis of Trump noted another big

22:19 rotations. Wedge. One of a got into an argument. Okay,

22:26 was Rogers Correlation Rogers data was the of the jungle big surface. And

22:36 making that a strata graphic data, was, you know what papers published

22:40 87. So it was, you , Secret Service wasn't quite published

22:45 Um, and you know, Rodgers this weird lot of sand stones in

22:49 middle of basement go nowhere Where they , he's got exams going landward look

22:55 of weird on. Then he thought marine food, real faces that are

22:59 lane by marine share with the And he predicts that these,

23:06 jungo nor Marines faces here age equivalent the nomad trail. So he's making

23:12 specific predictions about the age relationship. formation now Lord unknown, had published

23:19 . His version of the correlations. was interesting in the paper Lawrence Correlation

23:26 mentioned in a paragraph, but they showed figure. So the only figure

23:31 was published with Rogers Correlations Launch once and published in a field,

23:38 that was kind of a what we gray lettuce your heart to get

23:42 I haven't seen this, So I unaware of this cross section. I

23:46 at that. Carly said that discount , they picked, they picked the

23:50 data that should be issues online. I said, the better service to

23:54 on this that regional flooding surface I don't think that Saddam is there

24:00 sections in the wrong place. So reorganized. Measure section on These are

24:05 on isolated sections on the thrust front the trip. So it's not the

24:09 geology to reconstruct. So I went , re correlated, uh, this

24:16 section shifting the position of that section just sticking some platforms. After after

24:24 did this work, I found this . There was pennies. Logical work

24:28 been done all these shows and they unequivocally that these shells were much older

24:36 these shells by almost two million years that correlation. So the nice thing

24:41 that by security supporting my college, interesting is I used to get this

24:48 as a one of my examples of secret particular course. And I was

24:53 the same course the chevron in 1989 unbeknownst to me and I gave the

24:59 I'm giving you and I haven't seen this I haven't seen. And so

25:05 was comparing this terrible with the strata correlation with the secret strata graphic correlation

25:10 , then showing how Roger did And he should have known that.

25:15 then one of the participants in the went upstairs. Lauren Rosenthal was consulted

25:22 Chevron and said Is this guy talked a charge trashing the spiritually, So

25:27 knew Lord Lord came back. He really angry, even coming out of

25:31 ears. And I never did You never saw my correlation,

25:34 do combat. Where was your correlation it? Well, in this

25:38 like okay, Yeah, I'm mister. Yeah. Yes. Not

25:43 good literature. Anyway, I was to give this talk at the CSU

25:49 , and, uh, I think was presiding over the session. That

25:54 , this is gonna be a master . I mean, was it was

25:58 back down, but I was like was really pretty angry. Roger was

26:03 the audience and Roger said, Have shit, you know? And in

26:07 end, you know, I gave talk. Of course. In the

26:09 , I showed Lawrence correlation. I , Look, I said Maurin did

26:12 better job than Roger, but because used to talk about him, he

26:16 the Paris something's up. I started talk to you. I just force

26:20 . Thio dips either right and, , and then your long combat and

26:26 , Yeah, okay, you know should which is that line? That's

26:30 It was a nice illustration. How you get three different correlations on.

26:36 only thing that's different is the choice the data. Um, now another

26:43 that I'll talk. I'll give you entire lecture about this tomorrow. Shannon

26:48 Shannon Sandstone is a big off or gas play in the middle of the

26:55 Powder River Basin. It's very It was interpreted in the seventies and

27:01 , a zone offshore bar. It interpreted by Exxon as an incised valley

27:08 was interpreted by Captain Bergman during the Off with my phone. PhD Supervisor

27:14 Walker has a low stand, aggressive shortcuts. And so the question

27:20 , how could Unit B flew the shallow marine and offshore shelf? I

27:26 , can't be all three on to a long story short if he was

27:31 bottom data, It looks like the . You know, some sort of

27:35 builds up if you talk date, , it looks like you showed in

27:39 Valley. And if you should have let things hang, maybe it could

27:44 , you know, something more like short faced for progression. The point

27:48 is these different interpretations are largely driven the choice of radio. Now,

27:56 I'll give you an entire lecture on we were able to resolve these different

28:01 on to say that tomorrow because we're stuck with methods here. Right?

28:05 we're moving to the examples that I'll back to some of these things in

28:09 lectures. I'm gonna repeat these slides tomorrow. So we worked in the

28:15 River basin, which is same base the shadow it is. Shana's camp

28:21 uh, campaigning age, I believe the the French air formation.

28:29 It's been older way. Have these stones way, sheriff. And you

28:36 , if we used to talk, they sort of looked like you shaping

28:40 valleys if he was a bottom date they can look like bumps with emotional

28:45 on top. So once again, see that the lab relations look

28:51 depending on depending on the data needs both meters. Bente mites that there's

28:58 evidence that their relative, when we a talk data, it looks like

29:04 headlights and folded on that suggests that is absolutely tectonic, structural and folding

29:10 on. So data can also pointed that structure. Heard, uh that

29:17 folding of these rocks occurred before the of that event. So we realized

29:22 these rocks were being performed throughout the on Let us to write a paper

29:26 tectonic on conformity ease in the powder basin. Well, just sort of

29:33 up. This'll data bit So in dump a gun. I use the

29:39 . And then, of course, know, and you notice that the

29:43 look good here and It's all getting bit too flat in the distant.

29:47 I'm losing the platforms because I'm using top day plant. In contrast to

29:56 , the question is, obviously shows concepts beautifully, right? So?

30:02 plants get a better job of showing pond forms. And I did.

30:05 question is, why did play music , David? And why did I

30:09 a top? Dave, You the answer is not obvious.

30:14 The reason is that I was working the done baking for me. There

30:18 is. Okay. And most. when I started work most of the

30:23 fields and done vague information stopped drilling they got through the sandstone and

30:29 So the consequence a lot of the did not have a lower data,

30:34 it stopped. Clinton works in areas to the north of mine where the

30:40 part of photography is up in the because it's exposed. So therefore,

30:44 didn't always have a top date. , so he picked bottom date.

30:48 we think we have a choice of use. It was based on what

30:52 was available in the data. I was I was aware of the

30:57 problem. So I did my best kind of correlate units knowing the climate

31:01 right away, even though they would a flat before just areas. But

31:06 certainly didn't interpret the pistol margins in Valley. And finally, you

31:13 you can use a structural data a in the diagram on the left.

31:17 , so these air hung on sea or 500 ft below sea level on

31:21 can clearly see there's two para you know, with stunning surfaces

31:28 But if I correlate those you everything gets re angle, it just

31:31 a mess, right? It's much should be. Correlate these Paris,

31:34 is if I flatten on something strata than if I hung on the structural

31:39 . Onda Structural data is good to at the structure, right, But

31:45 usually do that after you to find reservoir layers. Then you deformed them

31:49 converting it to a structural process. , That's so in terms of data

31:56 , you know, here's an example my correlations with done big and using

32:01 top date. Um, you I felt Paris sequences there. I've

32:05 a little bumpy things. Looking boy, that strong. It's like

32:09 same bumpy things you see in the data of a poor grading forced,

32:13 delta. So I should have rubbed stomach and say, Yeah,

32:17 correlations count Looks like a size with , you know. And you

32:21 the seismic line. If you were sort of a modern analog, that

32:25 me. Helps me be comfortable that done a good job off interpreting the

32:29 system. We now go to law last steps. So of course,

32:37 you have, you know detailed correlations your individual pair sequences, which essentially

32:44 reservoir sealed pairs. Alright, I at that sandstone like that sandstone like

32:51 mapped all these headstones. Here's what did. So here's a map of

32:56 Paris concealer Thursday in Size Valley. the low stab delta, and there's

33:00 map, right, and it looks a looks like a nice, big

33:06 size channel. Balance breaks up a channels and feeds a series of

33:11 So I was pretty happy with that makes sense of And, uh,

33:16 the ice pack up, just just the thickness of sand within the Paris

33:23 . And then here's the pain of maps will directly to be ice pack

33:27 that I made for the entire So this is, you know,

33:32 base here. So that's those that off the complex specific transgression, not

33:38 show that Alere against transgressed. Then another procreation with Harrison F two and

33:45 one. There's another big transgression that's map there, uh, that I'm

33:52 4321 on. That's this set of but that youngest set of Delta's.

33:59 so, you know, these are detailed maps of 19 separate para geographic

34:05 of one formation. This'll was incredibly page geographic mapping with The key thing

34:11 , I pulled apart the formation into syriza parent. Geographic maps. Each

34:17 represented a potential reservoir. See a allowed for far greater prediction off where

34:23 best reservoir faces were. That could accomplished with regional Lysistrata graphic mapping that

34:30 done without the secret strata graphic So this route is The goal is

34:34 improve the quality of detailed of your . Okay, on, then,

34:40 just the rest of the maps interest we get to the younger parents sequences

34:44 started to see wave dominated back players Delta's On Eventually get much more

34:51 uh, looking money. Your face in the top part with Let me

34:56 the entire presentation of the Dunvegan So I will come back to this

35:01 now. I just want just to the incredible details. Just incredible number

35:06 maps that I was able to make all based on doing very details in

35:12 . Yes, it was painstaking but it allowed. It allowed me

35:16 make 19 maps off the separate page with within the field, as opposed

35:23 just wanting everything together Onda that allows a much more accurate reservoir description.

35:29 resident, imaginary better well, placement ultimately rejects risk. As I

35:34 not to pat myself on the All companies are still using these

35:40 Uh, thio, because now they're and doing horizontal wells at the lateral

35:45 of these reservoirs on. They keep me, and you're matches to a

35:49 good. They tell us where the spots are like great. Glad you're

35:52 my glad you're making money from my I have a question? Yes,

35:58 . Um I see. For this , of course, we need to

36:02 a lot of wealth. And I that, for example, working exploration

36:08 we don't have sometimes the luxury toe that many wells. So a detailed

36:14 , like bases most using some reservoir or later stages in the development?

36:22 . Yeah. I mean, I , you know, I'm sure one

36:25 the, you know, my very projecting Atlantic ritual company That's looking

36:30 And baby, they said, you , we'd really like to have sort

36:33 a project. That's the secret security our major fields. And of

36:39 I went up to Alaska and I give you that story next.

36:44 it's not very long. Uh, time goes and yeah, absolutely.

36:49 know, the secret Strada graphic re the field that have been described with

36:54 strata graphically resulted in much better field . Ah Ndure also correct. You

37:01 , some of this detail you simply have the details to do feel

37:06 But, um as I as I Oxy last week, You know,

37:11 lot of fields are pretty forgiving in early days of production. But 20

37:17 later, you know when you've now know, the restaurant compartmentalization becomes really

37:23 . So many companies find that they to go back and and redo the

37:27 , contribute their major assets because the little strata graphic interpretations simply don't

37:34 You know, In fact, I'm starting a project with Oxy to explicitly

37:39 that concern that a major asset that have it's been producing since 1917.

37:47 , of course. If you see bunch of bills honest about wanna

37:50 you know, commonly, you know you're doing correlations and mapping. And

37:54 days it's easy to reiterate in the food donations make a map like

37:59 You know, Joseph said, you you gotta bust spread a. Does

38:03 go back and do another coronation with ? It's more tricky sometimes, you

38:08 , you know, in these diagrams position of a strong line on the

38:13 area where the lows being deposited if you will, that Staten

38:18 you know through time could be really clearly in that right on. People

38:23 talk enough about stacking patterns of Some features, like Channel channel about

38:30 maybe hard toe mad in, outdated because of a leasing. So

38:36 you'll see water gente referred to as . I love that word. It

38:41 nothing. But, you know, that's the best you could do

38:45 You know it's better to get away fairways and use a geological church fairly

38:49 there's a reason for more sand. there a fairly in town is because

38:54 where the rivers the vote is that that was the lower don't just prefer

38:58 be is because you have been saw valet. Why is there a fair

39:02 there? A lot of people use terms on a bad manager that we

39:08 because they like the word, but non technical, and it may give

39:12 false impression of risk. If you a nice word, that's no geological

39:17 at all. So I would advise not to use for fairy. Here's

39:21 saying, If you say so, is the fairway there? What's the

39:25 control? That explains why Sanders, not on the other things but the

39:31 . Logical explanation, maybe just guess questions, Right? So the last

39:37 that I call it is a real around thes air really useful. Protesting

39:43 about the general control on sequences. particular, correlation to global bed charts

39:50 another joints from and essentially involves taking physical stripper food, which has a

39:58 distance on the vertical axis and thickness the horizontal axis thickness on the vertical

40:03 and and should be with Tom. an example of uh and then what

40:10 do is compare your superior to something a globe er, either on lock

40:14 theon Lock chart is basically a real on then that's converted to the actual

40:20 See that occurred over geological time. what you could do is correlate your

40:25 diagram to an on lock chart and to see right on that could be

40:30 in regional scale reservoir of cereal and systems. Predictions. Okay, here's

40:37 example of the wheel of diagram it for, like, 11 done vague

40:41 . Okay, so that's kind of end. So way started with just

40:47 the importance of having a regional mostly to say Where's land and sea

40:53 that allows you Thio. Guess Deposition of striking it will be,

40:58 know, that allows you to guess Delta's did The client forms dip in

41:02 direction that the main value of off regional work deposition of faces allied to

41:09 a priority by dealing with marine sequences might have platforms or through the rocks

41:15 might be more channel about whether social wolf is law is one of the

41:21 ideas geology that's critical for identifying bound , whether or not those surfaces are

41:28 , be established by looking at closely data off and then and then slowed

41:34 , expanding the correlations to regional Uh, typically you focus on Carly

41:41 stones first, typically picking mud stone on, then ultimately fitting sand stones

41:49 between the mud stones got Lutai. is easier doing workstations, uh,

41:56 counter asked about wells facing the wear eighties. If you're Wells, get

42:01 you're coordinated wells 24 hours apart, probably gonna be eighties and things,

42:05 you're gonna underestimate on over Carly. , which means you're gonna overestimate the

42:11 revels reservoirs. Probably you have to and circulate laugh out truncation to identify

42:19 sequences of systems tracked tracks, and you make your maps and maps will

42:23 better, depending on the degree of . You have a quality correlations.

42:28 of you probably will never make Try graphic charts. Will, because

42:32 have to do it for the class I think they're really important to theoretically

42:37 , you know, and this. if you're, you know, as

42:40 way told me if you're if you're conventional useful figuring out where you're

42:45 Section on highest and mud stones. , there it is. Uh,

42:51 sharing for second year way. Come a decision. Point here.

42:59 we've got about 45 minutes to I have one more electric go,

43:10 ? And what we could do is do that. Now on then,

43:18 , then we'll finish up seven. going to the quiz tomorrow. I

43:22 I've already talked about that a little . Eso just to remind you all

43:26 I started like you now probably finish seven more times. Special athletes.

43:32 clothe e. I hope it's gonna activity. I'm kind of crossing my

43:36 that I know what I'm doing on . I'll get up a little bit

43:41 . I'll probably start up my zoom 8. 15 on. You

43:47 many of you are having heart problems getting on the blackboard, Let me

43:50 right away, and I'll see what could fix it. I don't

43:53 Maybe ask Maria. You know, be their little areas. Well,

43:58 , uh, above you, I'm that the, uh, the logistics

44:04 the Krays were not Well, Like said, it's It's a bunch of

44:07 choice questions. Fill in the E don't think it'll take you long

44:10 do, Uh, you know, I give you a paper copy,

44:14 think students kind of the same question times, and sometimes I'll pick the

44:19 . That's a little bit of changing wrong answer. You had it right

44:21 first time. You know, this way we'll have the same

44:26 We've got exactly half an hour. you answer, we can't go

44:29 So, you know, make sure think before you click, make sure

44:33 questions completely. Make sure all the I will tell you right now,

44:39 there's a bit of random izing of answers, so sometimes you'll have multiple

44:46 that we will say all of the . Just that that means all of

44:50 . Because sometimes he all about might the first question. Some something just

44:55 rather my a little way. So there's no question about it, just

45:00 it could be all of them for be one of them. So I

45:04 know if I if I used the of the above option many times,

45:07 may find this one to be, , before I go to the last

45:12 . Are there any questions about anything said today or so far?

45:21 Okay, um, I assume that could Thio carry on. I know

45:29 it Z getting a little later in day. Everyone's tired. Me,

45:36 . And I find this always happens this class. It's like I'm always

45:41 a bit with these lectures, but may may not finish this lecture

45:47 It's got 44 slides in it, I got 45 minutes, so real

45:53 a minute slide. So we'll How you doing? Okay from

45:58 Screen Academy eso This lecture really is to be a, uh, a

46:07 of our reiteration of building on the that I talked that I talked about

46:14 a very specific focus on corner such as you can see in this

46:18 , uh, seismic data taken from meal in a row. Paper.

46:24 a four page geology paper. When you have not already done.

46:28 we should read that. Okay, , here's the problem. So here

46:34 what we call a really good This from Screw it all 1960 and represents

46:40 programming delta, as it was conceived the sixties. What we see is

46:45 there is the clock. There is modern day sea floor, right,

46:49 into the basin. And, of , that seeks or has migrated through

46:54 . A Southie Delta has pro grated the dash lines represent the timelines.

47:00 . Faces represent marsh, delta sand stones, pro delta silty clays

47:06 represented just a cloud of farm going the offshore faces. Now, what's

47:12 is that Is that the faces foundries this example, Okay, in this

47:18 , are drawn as gently undulating, surfaces, right? I'm pretty sure

47:24 script on had an idea. You that the formations that you see in

47:28 cliffs, you know, you know that would be cliff forming unit

47:33 That's the sort of that's the layer the formation. So he sort of

47:39 the face Expander is a shark, undulating line on the timelines is a

47:45 okay. And one of the problems sequence fraternity solved is to say we

47:51 do better than them invites about the . Why didn't he draw the

47:56 Batteries as she's ambulance? Okay, their beds So the beds conform to

48:03 timelines? What about faces? What's relationship between faces and debts? So

48:13 was 1960. So one o'clock forward 92,002. This is work done by

48:21 group of Asian researchers driven by fall Yoshiki Saito at the Geological Survey of

48:30 Red Guard and took a bunch, course, from a series of Asian

48:34 , including Mekong. But they sort make the same mistake that's crucial

48:39 They had a lot of carbon dated data and these thieves, the timelines

48:44 from 10,000 years ago. Today there the modern day sea floor.

48:51 so that's the platform these bumps here the old beach ridges that our determination

48:57 Delta and you can see the doctor with timelines. But then they showed

49:02 little faces at the protest from Delta , drawn with a sharp, solid

49:08 right that represents a layer cake unit separates the layered pro delta shells above

49:14 layer of Delta Front Sands. Both it's pretty clear to me that you've

49:19 Paris sequences of stunning surfaces, but don't correlate the stunning surfaces, so

49:25 cause me some concern. Now I go to these slides on the very

49:31 day. So here's, you beautiful, beautiful booklets. Outcrops with

49:36 precaution parents influences another one's got MySQL in it. There's a planet forms

49:43 six extras and lines. I talked me off, All right.

49:50 You gotta wake people up when it's o'clock in the five o'clock in the

49:55 . Okay? You know, just make it clear, I blew it

49:59 a little bit. Those the So that's the relation between bets and

50:05 . There's a flooding surface on You know what that is right now

50:08 weaken, uh, identify those little on, of course way. Simplify

50:15 in well, logs with these That implies that there is an underlying

50:20 of different events and the times of platform dip in the direction that the

50:26 dip and Suzanne lines and zigzags replied the Delta Front sandstone grades and passes

50:35 the pro Delta shelled, shelled from district. Okay, and so and

50:41 those shoes and lines assume silly as are, there's a lot of information

50:46 in those she Zamel steak. And you draw them the wrong way,

50:51 it tells me you don't really understand concept of what that faces batteries supposed

50:56 be. Okay, now, if look at our crops around the world

51:01 this is these are all from deportations Interior Seaway at that line because this

51:07 this is, uh, catastrophic But they all show dipping Delta front

51:12 of one another, and once again can. We can simplify those with

51:18 a little faces and zigzag shams shams , which in which the tides of

51:26 point in the direction that that the faces grades and passes in statistical projects

51:34 face there you go. So we're up to end the day. Suffering

51:44 approaching eso You know, part of message is is that certainly if you're

51:48 challenging systems, layer cake is the mop. Well, depending on how

51:54 time you may or may have spent business reservoir engineers love layer cakes.

52:00 no doubt from rocks are more layers not. But but flat layers,

52:11 know, not always the most particularly if you're in Deltek systems or

52:16 soap systems that have codifies. So took the screws on dog just

52:21 Drill it right? So here's the screws on dog I'm gonna show before

52:26 the open, of course, to sequence, when all I've done is

52:30 the sharp lines of he drew for eggs, actions and animal. It's

52:34 of them way. Know that Delta's and we've talked a lot about about

52:42 idea that they have these Sig Martin going from approximate distance. What about

52:48 strike view on the strike view that showed bi directional down was the Delta

52:52 procreating towards you or away from and it's a problem with this.

52:57 it's easy to state Delta's dipsy It's much harder to know if they

53:02 right or left unless you know whether not you're where you are on a

53:06 . Right? So if you're on lot of marginal load, depending on

53:12 the Axis is, you don't know way they did. So strike

53:17 Dick in Delta is horrible. It's . Okay, of course. You

53:22 , in this case, you the platforms are disrupted by growth

53:26 So that adds an additional place. idea of a clown, a form

53:32 way back. This is Gilbert, Street Gilbert who worked in the Grand

53:37 . Um, one arm Gilbert to . Uh uh, guilt was one

53:42 . That was I forget the guy , uh, identified built Delta's the

53:48 deposits around the margins of the Salt unidentified a planet forms, and he

53:55 use the word chronic form. He them top sets, four sets and

53:58 sets. But it's exactly the same . Joseph Burrell picked up this idea

54:04 top sets. Four sets of bottom on showed examples of nice,

54:09 on a farm units with zigzagging sam on. I reviewed this way back

54:15 foundations and rich in 1951. that sort of shot a little bit

54:22 from the word top set force that said talked about climate bands, which

54:27 forward inclined under beds, which means and fondo beds. Now, founder

54:34 may sound a little weird to We've all heard the word profound,

54:38 means deep. And so Fondo you know, Latin slash Greek word

54:44 deep right, So found no just mean defense. The phone

54:49 the deep beds, the entire bad basically the slope. And then the

54:53 bads represents sort of the shallow top . And lo and behold,

54:59 Rich drew a zigzag Chisholm lines in the six point in the direction that

55:06 tip and he even showed the dash symbol rather than is a horizontal dash

55:12 a different dash line to emphasize the Graphic, uh, carnival kind.

55:18 course, Burrell showed the clown forms as well. On that, he

55:22 showed his dash shale a slightly thes have all figured out, all figured

55:29 . Their stuff goes away, Of , In more detail, morale even

55:34 that there were two con forms, con cave con forms, very sandy

55:40 represents baked the shore face, then the and then the convent of the

55:47 16. That convex up platform represents chefs locally. Okay on. Then

55:53 the chokepoint going in the slope that the bottom sense. Ask worth

56:00 The seventies found exactly the same double , a smaller sand Europe platform that's

56:07 with a wave dominated barrier. A system on, then a convex

56:11 a uniform that's entirely money represents the slope break. You also identified Offshore

56:19 way. We're going to debunk that tomorrow. Okay, so we'll come

56:24 to that on there's just a close of a Swiss con cave up a

56:31 out of form, which is basically shore face. Okay. And,

56:34 know, he just shows a very change from sandstone into sandstone into play

56:40 , you know, because he was used, Why did you shoot

56:43 He could just rashes am's, emphasize faces bounded by surfaces. Right?

56:49 that's what I figured out. Uh, there's just another example.

56:54 shows the conclave sandy platform on the , muddy platform represents a shelf

57:01 huge vertical exaggeration and, uh, , hundreds of miles of scale.

57:12 both ask with barrel. Both identified double on the form on both showed

57:17 these complex forms photography's looked like and notice how they're getting the product

57:23 Dash money, lines of horizontal on in, the shell faces, slope

57:28 . They're different. So they actually , you know, symbol of we

57:31 for shale. They showed us dipping the shell faces they showed us flatline

57:36 for our faces. I love They actually call it the smutty

57:41 See that smutty faces? These guys nothing if not colorful. That's

57:47 And, of course, when we at seismic faces of Delta's nothing smooth

57:53 dipsy word at different degrees, so the regional surface dips a

57:57 It's a little bit regional. Transgressive dips less deeply than the actual Delta

58:03 runner form, but everything Jeff and you'll see these nice con cave

58:09 platforms with a classic delta from platform the shelf edge break is convex

58:16 So we see concave up for the Klein form convex up for the money

58:21 , so far you see with, course, as the Delta Pro Grades

58:26 sandwich. Delta Front platform merges with so sometimes they're separate like here,

58:33 sometimes they're at the same position When delta gets the shelf edge, which

58:38 common during falling in stages, those to see Europe's seismic data from the

58:44 Coast. Here we have a beautiful of really steep sand upon forms.

58:48 these this is the sandy Delta You notice these platforms gets steeper and

58:53 and steeper once the shelf gets, adults gets the shelf edge and then

58:57 to final settlements into deep water. , there's a little down set

59:02 so this delta is degraded with respect that delta. Andi, these settlements

59:08 sort of overlapping wrong, lacking a . A pair of forced aggressive shelf

59:14 . Shelters with distribution channels will And then this thing was probably a

59:19 mud wedge that's on lapping old. this is sandy faces and that 20

59:27 . Then here's what that browsers down looks like and strike view on

59:31 and then we can show the So there's the seismic imaging that shows

59:37 this high resolution data. So these actually beds on. That would be

59:41 little faces in this case, you , zigzags pointed in two directions because

59:46 looking Delta Pool of two reports us the shells are preaching out laterally,

59:52 lateral margins of delta that's building towards . We're looking at a plan view

59:57 a Delta Things cross section would be that orientation. So the platforms dip

60:03 that direction, and they also did . I bet my black dog shows

60:08 unfortunately, have a slide. May that tomorrow things is more data from

60:13 Rice research group that shows beautiful bidirectional laughing mouth balls laterally shifting. So

60:20 we see a beautiful indication of auto shifting mouth on. Uh, I

60:27 update this because I have since gone and written a paper on We took

60:30 , colored it up and made a diagram. So if I If I

60:35 , I'll show that to maybe tomorrow and Thompson. What that exactly?

60:42 another example of bidirectional adapt amount. this is a cross section of the

60:46 of building towards you so you can the bi directional down well So we

60:51 back, Thio, uh, to iconic example. And, uh,

60:57 I did is I gave this to of my grad students said,

61:00 you know that that's not the way sentiments correlate. Why don't you use

61:05 field? Why don't use the biology in this class that you were taken

61:10 me right now but about mhm 18 ago and re correlate this little photography

61:18 the concept that I taught you in class might platforms. So my student

61:23 ahead and picked up the Farrah sentences did this correlation. So here's the

61:29 there's the after there's before there's the right and you can see you

61:36 obviously my student was man, you , he knew that love. She's

61:40 . So you do. Mora's exact any in students have drawn, and

61:44 interesting is I showed this diagram at lecture. Uh, that was

61:51 uh, that that tar and motion to attend it. Steve Kill was

61:58 there, and they don't look mad me because I was I was kind

62:03 trashing this correlation, and at one Steve Kilo got up and said,

62:08 don't, John. I think you're is less objective than their correlation.

62:14 didn't want to get angry, you . And then Joe Lobby also got

62:18 . Joe was living in Thailand of . Sorry. He was going from

62:23 Brunei, Thailand, setting up a of petroleum geology in Thailand. You

62:29 , Joe was traded McMaster and he . I'm no Steve. I don't

62:33 with you, John. Correlation shows different directory of the faces and your

62:38 . A more horizontal structure. So showed in a very different model.

62:43 it may be more biased, but probably more correct. And my point

62:48 Look, you know, this was was re published in the paper that

62:53 that I edited I e convinced to this e. I said,

62:58 you know, thistles, little geography. The problem is your when

63:03 publish this paper, you said, , this correlation is good for people

63:07 want Azan analog for understanding reservoir I'm like, No, it isn't

63:13 you're a diagram. This is one you my diagram. You know,

63:18 one floating it, and that's And they're separated by an appetite.

63:22 I have a completely different interpretation flow . And in my model, you

63:28 us in a very different way from mouth, right? So do you

63:32 in all company would spend money on ? Correlation. Were they back on

63:35 correlation? I know what the answer . Minds more correct and there's is

63:39 inquiry. I'm not saying that our perfect, but this is based on

63:44 more rational interpretation. Off the Paris , cross sections better matches what every

63:50 data across a Delta has ever And anyway, I think I sort

63:56 got the picture. But, you , there's nothing wrong with these

64:00 But they're oceanographers. They've never looked seismic data. They've never gone

64:06 and they don't really do any reservoir or hydro geology. So they just

64:11 understand the organization off reservoir security or turkey anyway, So I'm gonna end

64:20 with another couple of examples. How we time here? It's a 60

64:25 . Pretty good for time. I'm through this pretty quickly. So this

64:28 a Siris of Old Wells. I it s mostly SP and re sensitivity

64:34 ? No, from Mexico. It's clear that you've got, you

64:37 finding upward channels over here coursing up Delta's more distantly and clearly it's mostly

64:44 here, most influential here. And , you know, it looks like

64:48 good unit. Thio, you a good huge play around with.

64:55 ? So I got SP on the ? Yes, mostly SPS.

64:59 some of them were inverted, So . Yeah. So this was the

65:05 that had been published. Okay, was published in by the spirit economic

65:12 . And about 1972 actually deliberately took names of the people that did it

65:17 . I know them. Good folks this work was done in 1917.

65:22 the first thing is, they hang the base of the Sparta sandstone thing

65:27 in the middle of an upper course facing success. Okay, hopefully by

65:33 , if I put two relics wells , that pic based sand, you

65:38 know that that such as animal, a time. Okay, So picking

65:42 as a strata graphic data when it's shoes online, I thought was a

65:47 bad choice of data. Then what do is they do something that I

65:52 do. What's this fight, they . Hey, how do?

66:19 So that's quick and dirty little Graphic interpretation. Right, everyone.

66:24 agrees. This is mostly Sandy. is mostly failed. That's little

66:27 It's quick, Thio. That's hard it. Everything is just saying

66:32 Not even any concept of clown Nothing, right, You know,

66:38 you know, Here's the Here's the the alternative. Okay, Follow floating

66:55 like surface letting surface pay attention because gonna have to do this. You're

67:07 assignments. You're gonna be doing this on my funny surfaces. Okay,

67:15 , there. Okay, now I to connect. Connect him up.

67:21 like, Okay, well, connect with that. That's gone. So

67:26 gotta kind of crap that where that goes there. Down there.

67:52 What do you have to displace there ? May? What curves E s

67:59 resisted? Yeah, way. um, size value in there.

68:05 ? And so that's what I Right? So there is the list

68:08 photography, right? And, you've got some flow units.

68:15 So it's transgressive progressive cycles. And I went ahead and just redid the

68:19 , which is I just showed you I did it. And obviously it's

68:24 quite a bit more complicated. A of complexity of my version. I'd

68:30 I spend probably about half an hour this Correlation, right. So,

68:34 know, I didn't spend a lot time in it. It was very

68:38 . But the point being is you know, you have a completely

68:41 a picture of how of reservoir sealer and this dark ground versus that

68:47 And then I've got opportunities out here don't exist in the little strata.

68:52 college. A swell has a much degree of reservoir compartmentalization I've got.

68:58 you know, 12 three, 45 song. And I've got a shale

69:06 that separates. So you three for that's missing in this one. So

69:13 have one. So, unit, I got to throw you for a

69:17 between so right away, you And, uh, your point.

69:21 is more exploration type data. Can do see contributing expiration type data?

69:26 , you know, uh, out that implies a very different prospectively T

69:34 this things, you know, that's complicated. I'm like, Yeah,

69:39 so maybe more compartmentalized. Make this opportunity for finding bypassed residents,

69:45 Not every company is a billion Excellent. Some companies are. When

69:50 finish this course, you might find you have a hard time getting a

69:53 . There's nothing stopping you from starting little one company. Maybe you've got

69:58 ability to get some land in West and start finding a little one.

70:02 represented Delores bypassed pay, you in the Pennsylvania or in the

70:09 Right? Don't laugh. This is sad story. Uh, tronic not

70:18 up, but I taught this class . Someone just like you. One

70:23 those students work for a little mom pop companies. His death, his

70:26 room. And I was in Dallas time he took the class. And

70:30 I moved to Houston when he moved . No, it's one way.

70:34 together. And he would He would pick up the tax sushi beers at

70:39 ginger Man. I said, how come you always picking the

70:42 He said, you know how much we made from using your techniques of

70:46 coordinating and funding? Just one. , like my company Strand energies made

70:50 lot of money, unfortunately. Died 8. 16 which is what I

70:54 now, just a few years before left, Uh, less Houston,

70:58 was really sad. But I'm you know, he was the nicest

71:01 on, uh, it wasn't the person, but, you know,

71:05 made it very clear that he had money from this course. He didn't

71:08 to work for a big company to money from this force. One day

71:12 walked in the pioneer, They You know, John, like one

71:15 our students used your your techniques and us into the oil field. And

71:20 made a lot of money. That's you're back much, Thanks. You

71:25 , e wish I had those stories I could say I found well

71:29 you know, became a billionaire on I might have. Might not have

71:34 teach you guys, but you I am happy if you guys become

71:39 millionaires because of this chorused that would nothing but make me the happiest person

71:45 . The only thing I ask is you remember very allergic. If if

71:48 gave you something that helps you be The other thing on the cop on

71:53 cross section is the clown reforms dipsy . Of course, everything is more

71:57 line in the little strata graph. ? So no magic there. You

72:03 , I have no idea if this right or wrong. It's certainly

72:07 And, you know, this wasn't with a lot of care. It

72:10 done with a lot of secrets. conceptual. Uh, imposition onto the

72:17 about the correlations that I made When when you hang these cross sections,

72:24 example, my last one you were would would it be more useful to

72:27 it on a constant subsea depth so could identify high points because the rocks

72:34 structures, I would do that later then find the traps right? Do

72:39 photography first. Then do the structural on. Ben defined the trumps

72:44 We're not part of petroleum systems. I appreciate that For those of you

72:47 done that class, it's critical for to do those connections between my class

72:52 petroleum systems class. But I always that later. The other point I

72:57 how I just happened nor the data can't form right through it. So

73:02 my case, the data disappears. problem is, once you pick a

73:06 and you'll never cross it, these could say what we think. The

73:11 is going through the data, but bottom line is, once you put

73:13 data will never cross. So it up putting an artificial barrier. If

73:18 choose a shoes online for data, do that. Don't do that.

73:23 there's clips, Cross section that shows the beautiful climate forms of lower

73:28 So let me give you a nice examples. We sort of get into

73:34 last 10 minutes or so of this . So you know, I go

73:38 Prudhoe Bay. I've been asking, know, 30 General Project on Secrets

73:43 major fields. You know, I working for the Exploration Research group and

73:47 much about Reservoir Characterization, and I there. Within a few weeks.

73:53 went too much with Chuck Severson, Marcelin and Chuck. Summer School is

73:58 engineer from California and trucks. You , those guys from playing will never

74:03 a damn things with They sequenced and they never helped the reservoir engineers

74:12 I was like, Wow. E just started working field, and

74:17 I noticed that all of the geologists on the field development were in one

74:23 managed by the exploration manager, and engineers were a separate building s o

74:31 production. Geologists didn't report to the , so they were fighting all the

74:36 crazy. And then I sort of me have a look at this

74:42 And I said, Okay, you know, clearly, of

74:44 with Delta, But like, what pinching strong security? Like, I've

74:48 seen anything like that. Totally mythos . Then the engineer said,

74:53 you know, you got this shale . Let's go. About 15 entrails

74:57 pick up there or pick up their . Think those reports call it those

75:01 the field like you can't call it 20 centimeter Bayfield shale over 20

75:07 Like what are you guys doing? is a delta climate for like,

75:13 know, I wasn't asking about I just said I sort of held

75:16 breath and said, Wow, these are totally out to lunch. That

75:22 Barker, who is the expiration Well, I was in that

75:26 you know, geology building, You , uh, well, John said

75:31 expect you guys planning to be least years ahead in your knowledge of my

75:36 . Okay? Yeah. I I think I can help you guys

75:39 a better job of correlations. And that day, I went to lunch

75:42 Chuck. Center said That guy is going to say I didn't do anything

75:46 , so I spent all my time restaurant. You see what? Your

75:50 ? What do you need? E , I think I can help

75:53 So, uh, Robert Spence tie known a bow tie had been up

76:00 a few months before way just rolled our sleeves and a tactic. There

76:07 so many problems with this reservoir. even begin to tell you. The

76:12 thing is, there is there was rapping anger or conforming on top of

76:15 formation. So we didn't have a data on. There was a nice

76:20 below with lots of little markers that a great data. Guess what,

76:25 Engineers, in order to save on paste, haven't bothered to digitize the

76:29 parts of the bags. They stopped at the base reservoir like way have

76:34 lot of data. And all the was was in this lower stuff,

76:39 the upper reservoirs had all gassed So now they were trying to use

76:44 well and in from drilling to produce belt of stuff. They were still

76:48 a layer cake model. I said was working. They were wasting

76:52 They're planning, you know, $1000 in field running. E was just

76:57 , Oh, my God. you know, Stop, stop,

77:00 know? So I had to go the blue on well, logs and

77:03 again, hands through damn lower blood onto the digital long. So we

77:08 the e. Don't care if you the logs, you have got a

77:12 you can't even stop. You don't know how the rocks are organized.

77:16 gonna completely waste your money because you know what the flow units are way

77:21 help you. So make a long , short way digitize that they're,

77:26 , logs. And this was the security. I've already showed this

77:30 and all of a sudden we've got Shales way. Have reservoir sandstone down

77:35 in this so called havoc sandstone that in a complete information in the in

77:42 sense that the three overline Romeo for purposes, those wouldn't have been legally

77:49 to be part of the reservoir on have big implications for the legal distribution

77:54 the wealth of the companies that own that own this field. Which primary

77:59 BP? Arco exit. And, , E could tell you a horror

78:03 about fights through those companies because I excellent train. I got along well

78:08 the excellent guys because I was born Britain. I got well, with

78:12 piers because I was working for R . So I was able to bring

78:16 these through companies together and get them degree to use. Agreed He was

78:21 this planet for one. Whereas before got there, it was just a

78:25 , horrible, toxic fight between Jones engineers. Anyway, I left Alaska

78:33 went back Thio, Plato and both stayed up there, and he had

78:39 absolute beautiful pleasure of being able to our new revives con form correlation and

78:46 start drilling wells. Here's one of success story So here's well that on

78:52 drug had mine. Well, 35 the well was produced about 400 barrels

78:57 oil and $1200 of water. And north a last minute. So students

79:04 wrongly understood. Well, that you reject water. You can't dump it

79:08 the tundra. You can't open the now. You could do the

79:13 You know, nobody wants to lose a day. You know, 100

79:17 a barrel, That's that's millions of a year. So the decision was

79:24 . And, of course, the . You know, this was meeting

79:27 sand with a couple 100 military for . This was maybe, you

79:33 a fine sand with maybe 50 to million and pregnant on the engineers left

79:38 about They love thio, frack, hyper and stuff. So I left

79:42 purse, the high perm stuff. both said, Yeah, you know

79:48 water from the reservoir. I think the wall I think this upper zone

79:52 wanted out on the remaining oil is that low earth insects You guys think

79:57 crap, president. So why don't draw a horizontal Well, we'll stick

80:01 in this lower sand, and I that that little Bayfield shale will isolate

80:06 upper sand from the lower center. took those advice based on this revised

80:11 . They got their 504 100 barrels oil back Water Conference zero. So

80:16 of a sudden, because that's when order is coming from because they permit

80:21 they were. They were getting water here or all from there, and

80:24 couldn't isolate. They don't know how isolate a Bristol from that zone in

80:30 old vertical. So that was kind my success story that showed while the

80:36 matter, here's the correlations from one my PhD students showing dipping Paris sequence

80:43 thistles regional such a river walk quicksands Wyoming. Unfortunately, sadly, another

80:49 piece of work that that might never up. Published on June. I

80:54 one of my first students to really bi directional down lap in the strike

80:58 eso eso illustrated with can be decided . Then Bruce Saints were through Where's

81:06 ? Now? Bruce was shell that was a university of Attlee. Now

81:11 a Chevron on, you know he working on the second field in

81:17 And like me, bruising Worth is good master guys English. But his

81:22 master and, you know, immediately that we've got to get away from

81:27 and as it has had much success applying platform combinations to patrol fields.

81:34 he's worked on with a variety of around the world. So we know

81:38 we know that the concept is and so it's correlated. Distinguish Suzanne

81:45 from from Planet Forms Way would argue , but certainly that both the field

81:51 the expiration scale if you're dealing with which slope systems or Delta short face

82:00 we need to be where Clown informs residents, okay and all that with

82:06 line if you're cross section based on , doesn't look like the seismic line

82:12 probably wrong, and that's why it helps to have a conceptual model in

82:17 head. What the overall strata graphic architectures is before you start correlating.

82:24 your decision to correlate should be based a good understanding of what the deposition

82:29 are alive and say that the rocks platform on. They should get in

82:34 direction. Okay, so I'm gonna have eight minutes left before time.

82:45 , so, uh, if there's questions in the last eight minutes,

82:49 go ahead. It has now And if not, then,

82:54 I will start up the web at quarter after a 49. Might

83:01 You guys should log into the test time after 8. 29.

83:07 Think of will jump down once historically . It will give you 30 minutes

83:14 it. My understanding is the cloth 30 minutes. I'm actually waiting that

83:19 to see if that works. Like said once you asked the question,

83:22 the answer. You have two You can actually click. Click

83:25 submit the answer. Or you could move to the next question. Either

83:29 will save your answer, but you not be able to go back.

83:32 way. Should have plenty of time do it. You want to do

83:36 sketching in terms of material? I review some of the definitions. I

83:43 make sure that you understand the tracks and the surfaces that bound

83:47 I would review that relationship with a sessions that you're doing for the

83:53 Uh uh, produced meeting is being . Every question that I have will

84:16 directly taken from one of the power that I've given you, and in

84:21 , that I think there's one or questions that I noticed students would consistently

84:25 getting right. And in anticipation of trying to help you better this

84:30 I've actually revised some of the slides make sure that the answer is clear

84:35 the slides somewhere. Now, you're gonna know talk about todo quiz.

84:41 hopefully you'll all, uh, do about tomorrow and work too. Stressful

84:46 . Good luck on the quiz tomorrow I look forward to seeing you all

84:52 e guesses about 8 45 years you'll be all finished up. So

84:57 45 mountain, And then at that , we'll we'll, uh, way

85:03 talk about some of these resting assignments we have to do and then or

85:08 you know, we'll sort of do mixture of exercises and lectures tomorrow much

85:12 same. So have a good evening , uh, fall in terms of

85:19 date for the second assignment just in interest of the focus on studying for

85:24 quiz tonight. Why don't we make do after lunch? End of day

85:29 ? So, you know, if you need to work in a

85:32 , uh, this evening. If you want to work on it

85:35 lunch tomorrow to get finished up do you consume it? Submitted,

85:41 , any time by by midnight So you can even work on it

85:45 night if you won't do that Not so stressed about stressed out about

85:49 two things finished tomorrow. I'm not grade it tomorrow anyway, so,

85:57 , everybody Thank you, e One . Yeah, sure, Go

86:03 So you were mentioning if you're, , interpretations that are typically based off

86:09 climate forms like the model of the form versus the models like that layer

86:13 . Geology on e. I think I've seen her. I've got

86:17 Where? E guess the seismic processing the seismic has they tried the layer

86:25 everything and put so many so much has been thrown at it.

86:31 and maybe some of the beds like maybe subsidizing resolution that it's really

86:34 to pick up on some of those . Have you seen that where you

86:39 the subject may show layer cake, , but in all reality, maybe

86:43 just your bed forms or just that so when we went on a way

86:51 three D seismic there. But it's a promo traffic reservoir buried horrible

86:57 problems, permafrost that it is very the entire e think 300 m reservoir

87:05 about to waive. Let's And so know. And so, of

87:09 you know, it was very easy do a layering, but we didn't

87:14 . Is that the base? But base reservoir reflection sometimes showed a bit

87:19 a doublet on. I said. probably picking up the corner for

87:24 The resolution of the data were just too. So to pick up those

87:29 , I showed you those air 20 , 20 m scale. On the

87:33 of that, that side, like , was probably closer to 60

87:37 So what we look for is subtle in the character of the base reflection

87:42 might sort of sample of platform A problems were terrific, right? You

87:47 , if you have three D you might look for amplitude or attributes

87:51 do some sort of frequency or instantaneous , and it might show some subtle

87:56 in patterns that might pick up the . But but to your point,

88:01 know, uh, all sides with , I'm sure you are either exceptional

88:07 of data or high resolution academic you know, that are absolutely useless

88:12 penetrating very deep. But they're great image and con forms. So a

88:16 of the time, what I'm trying tell you is that the clown informs

88:20 there you may not have data image , so you have to put them

88:24 there. Bye bye. Interpretation Supposed to thinking that any of the

88:29 will image them. What? They'll enough, of course, facing

88:32 Well, log on that tells you gonna be kinda form something, something

88:36 that that's why I go to that step for what's the well known faces

88:40 tell you? Does that push you towards the correlation? So I think

88:45 spot on with your question. Anything else? Business. All

88:53 Thank you all for being patient I know. It gets a bit

88:57 . I know that I could go around around way, pushed it Z

89:02 one minute to go. I feel I'm doing, like a fundraising.

89:04 like the jury jury. Lewis funder , uh, but the key thing

89:09 , you know, yes, we go to the to the absolute

89:13 That way I make sure you get money's worth, so at least you

89:16 complain about that. Anyway, I'll you guys tomorrow. I have a

89:19 evening. Okay? Yeah. Bye. Thank
