Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploration and characterization of conventional and unconventional reservoirs using seismic technologies are among the main activities of upstream technology groups and business units of oil and gas operators. However, these activities frequently encounter difficulties in quantitative seismic interpretation due to remaining confusion and new challenges in the fast developing field of seismic petrophysics. Seismic Petrophysics in Quantitative Interpretation shows how seismic interpretation can be made simple and robust by integration of the rock physics principles with seismic and petrophysical attributes bearing on the properties of both conventional (thickness, net/gross, lithology, porosity, permeability, and saturation) and unconventional (thickness, lithology, organic richness, thermal maturity) reservoirs. Practical solutions to existing interpretation problems in rock physics-based amplitude versus offset (AVO) analysis and inversion are addressed in the book to streamline the workflows in subsurface characterization. Although the book is aimed at oil and gas industry professionals and academics concerned with utilization of seismic data in petroleum exploration and production, it could also prove helpful for geotechnical and completion engineers and drillers seeking to better understand how seismic and sonic data can be more thoroughly utilized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The findings of this dissertation on seismic characterization of the Eagle Ford Shale based on rock physics using actual well-log data from productive and unproductive wells in Mexico can be immediately and effectively applied to avoid future failures and can be corroborated with current and new locations for exploration and production. It was found that basic sequence stratigraphy techniques developed for unconventional reservoirs can be applied to the case of the Eagle Ford Shale in Mexico. Using well log correlation and petrophysical techniques to estimate reservoir properties, it was concluded that the zone where the horizontal well was drilled at Montanes-1 was located above the condensed sequence, bypassing the pay zone below the maximum flooding surface in the transgressive system track. It is verified that the productive well Emergente-1 was drilled in the correct zone with hydrocarbon saturation at the transgressive system track below the maximum flooding surface. It was found that using mineral assessment methods to compute brittleness, and the proper geosteering analysis is a consistent approach for placement of future horizontals. Based on that, it is concluded that any estimation of rock physics and anisotropic parameters derived from well logs at the source rock interval will be deceiving and will give a false estimation. It was concluded that the isotropic rock physic model known as friable-sand or modified friable-shale (unconsolidated sand or unconsolidated shale), or most recently called “soft-sand model”, was proved to match the data better than any other rock physic model tested to predict velocity and density. The term “non-source rock model” will be used instead for the rock physic model because it is more consistent with the Eagle Ford Shale case analyzed here. For the orientation of maximum horizontal stress, it is concluded by integrating VSP, microseismic and borehole data, that a straight north-south orientation of future horizontals is needed in order to generate the fractures in the straight east-west azimuth correlating with the maximum horizontal stress orientation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for energy is increasing and but the production from conventional reservoirs is declining quickly. This requires an economically and technically feasible source of energy for the coming years. Among some alternative future energy solutions, the most reasonable source is from unconventional reservoirs. As the name “unconventional” implies, different and challenging approaches are required to characterize and develop these resources. This Special Issue covers some of the technical challenges for developing unconventional energy sources from shale gas/oil, tight gas sand, and coalbed methane.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unconventional shale reservoirs have gained significant attention in recent years in terms of hydrocarbon reserves and production potential. However, exploration and production from shale reservoirs are still very challenging. One of the problems is that the composition of shale are very complex, and it becomes even more difficult to be understood when shale rocks contain organic matter which we are looking for. Organic matter has a very different behavior compared with other mineral components that are in shales, and that difference might give us a chance to see and model elastic properties of organic matter. To study this, we combined in-situ measurement and rock physics modeling which are important for the interpretation and modeling of seismic response. Our understanding of rock properties is primarily based on laboratory tests and observations. The experiment includes four Irati shale cores from Brazil. First we measured porosity and grain density which are indicators to kerogen contents. It ranges from 1.97 to 2.58 g/cm Then, acoustic P- and S-wave velocities are measured in both dry and saturated conditions with increasing differential pressure. P-wave velocity is from 2247 to 3960 m/s and 2786 to 4010 m/s in dry and saturated conditions respectively. S-wave velocity is from 661 to 2052 m/s and 1163 to 1824 m/s in dry and saturated conditions respectively. The measured data indicate strong transverse isotropy and drive the modeling. In this study, we propose a physically consistent solution based on partitioning the system into organic and non-organic domains with their associated porosities. We assume organic matter and non-organic parts are strongly laminated. By applying an inversion technique based on bound theory, we could compute elastic properties of organic and non-organic parts. Then, they can be used for predicting Thomsen anisotropic parameters by combining Postma's model. This model has been successfully applied on our measured organic shale data and helps us to gain more details on organic shales.

Book excerpt: AVO (SEG Investigations in Geophysics No. 16) by Satinder Chopra and John Castagna begins with a brief discussion on the basics of seismic-wave propagation as it relates to AVO, followed by a discussion of the rock-physics foundation for AVO analysis including the use of Gassmann’s equations and fluid substitution. Then, the early seismic observations and how they led to the birth of AVO analysis are presented. The various approximations for the Zoeppritz equations are examined, and the assumptions and limitations of each approximation are clearly identified. A section on the factors that affect seismic amplitudes and a discussion of the processing considerations important for AVO analysis are included. A subsequent section explores the various techniques used in AVO interpretation. Finally, topics including the influence of anisotropy in AVO analysis, the use of AVO inversion, estimation of uncertainty in AVO analysis, converted-wave AVO, and the future of the AVO method are discussed. Equally helpful to new entrants into the field as well as to seasoned workers, AVO will provide readers with the most up-to-date knowledge on amplitude variation with offset.
