This book was released on 1991 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reprocessing and reinterpretation of single-fold seismic data, using modern methods, improved the imgaging of deep structure of a portion of north-central West Virginia. Benefits of single-fold seismic data to hydrocarbon producers include: (1) relatively inexpensive means of identifying deep structures above which productive trends may be found; (2) aid to resolution of multi-fold seismic correlation difficulties; and (3) as an aid in locating areas for new seismic data acquisition.

Book excerpt: Reservoir characterization requires integration of engineering, geology, and geophysics, with rock physics supplying a key link. In this volume, geophysical methods, especially time-lapse 3D seismic, are emphasized, and a range of enhanced oil-recovery methods (EOR) are discussed, showing the need to accurately describe a reservoir before and after production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the authors' extensive experience and interdisciplinary approach to demonstrate how acquiring and integrating data using a variety of analytical equipment can provide better insights into unconventional shale reservoir rocks and their constituent components. It focuses on a wide range of properties of unconventional shale reservoirs, discussing the use of conventional and new analytical methods for detailed measurements of mechanical properties of both organic and inorganic constituent elements as well as of the geochemical characteristics of organic components and their origins. It also addresses the investigation of porosity, pore size and type from several perspectives to help us to define unconventional shale formation. All of these analyses are treated individually, but brought together to present the rock sample on a macro scale. This book is of interest to researchers and graduate students from various disciplines, such as petroleum, civil, and mechanical engineering, as well as from geoscience, geology, geochemistry and geophysics. The methods and approaches can be further extended to biology and medicine.
Download or read book Exploration production Studies in Newly Drilled Devonian Shale Gas Wells written by Reuben L. Graham, Inc and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Devonian shale has been recognized as an important source of gas in the Appalachian Basin. This program aids producers in the collection of reservoir data not normally collected and assists in the evaluation of the effectiveness of zone selection, stimulation designs and methods. This study should provide a better understanding of the relationships which affect productivity in the Devonian shale. The relationships between gas flows and geological features which control the production characteristics in the Devonian shale are being developed. A detailed logging, coring and well testing program is being conducted on twenty-eight newly drilled wells in three areas of the Appalachian Basin. Production and borehole TV surveys are being conducted on certain existing and newly drilled wells. Zones of gas entry are being identified. The geology and reservoir characteristics of the wells are being determined through the analyses of geophysical logs, borehole TV, and surface well testing data. Preferred wells for study are those with single zone well completions stimulated by hydraulic fracturing techniques. Stimulation techniques, selected by the respective producers, are being evaluated using a prescribed well test analysis procedure to determine their effectiveness.

This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In summary, physical, biogenic, and chemical sedimentary structures are important to many aspects of reservoir characterization and should be included in every characterization, whether the analyst is using cores, borehole-image logs, or an analog outcrop. Sedimentary structures provide important information about the depositional environment of the reservoir rock, and from that information, one can determine the extent and geometry of the reservoir, its trend, and any likely impediments to hydrocarbon production. Porosity and permeability and, in particular, fluid-flow paths are also affected and guided by how the sediment grains are arranged into specific structures. Finally, one should bear in mind that some sedimentary structures can produce misleading or erroneous well-log results.

This book was released on 2006-12 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reservoir characterization as a discipline grew out of the recognition that more oil and gas could be extracted from reservoirs if the geology of the reservoir was understood. Prior to that awakening, reservoir development and production were the realm of the petroleum engineer. In fact, geologists of that time would have felt slighted if asked by corporate management to move from an exciting exploration assignment to a more mundane assignment working with an engineer to improve a reservoir s performance. Slowly, reservoir characterization came into its own as a quantitative, multidisciplinary endeavor requiring a vast array of skills and knowledge sets. Perhaps the biggest attractor to becoming a reservoir geologist was the advent of fast computing, followed by visualization programs and theaters, all of which allow young geoscientists to practice their computing skills in a highly technical work environment. Also, the discipline grew in parallel with the evolution of data integration and the advent of asset teams in the petroleum industry. Finally, reservoir characterization flourished with the quantum improvements that have occurred in geophysical acquisition and processing techniques and that allow geophysicists to image internal reservoir complexities."

This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shallow marine environments, from the shoreline to the shelf edge, are complex and result in complex deposits. In turn, complex deposits translate into complex reservoirs. To maximize reservoir performance, it is imperative that we understand the type of shallow marine deposit that makes up the reservoir. That is not an easy task, as is exemplified by the various interpretations that have been assigned to linear sandstones of the U.S. Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway. These sandstones, in both outcrop and subsurface reservoirs, have been interpreted to be offshore shelf bars or ridges, shoreface bodies, and incised valley fill. Interpreting the type of deposit is not merely an academic exercise, it is essential because each of these different types of sandstone bodies is characterized by different geometries and degrees of compartmentalization. There are numerous examples of shoreface deposits that are truncated by younger incised valley fill. Subtle variations in gamma-ray log response can be used to identify such strata. Barrier-island deposits provide a particularly challenging reservoir characterization problem. Because of the variety of sedimentary processes that can influence barrier-island formation, several different sandstone and shale geometries and trends can occur. That variation in geometries can lead to the potential for a high degree of compartmentalization that is difficult to predict. Again, depositional-geometry prediction and well placement are facilitated by an understanding of the nature of the deposit and how it was formed.

This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many tools and techniques for characterizing oil and gas reservoirs. Seismic-reflection techniques include conventional 2D and 3D seismic, 4D time-lapse seismic, multicomponent seismic, crosswell seismic, seismic inversion, and seismic attribute analysis, all designed to enhance stratigraphy/structure detection, resolution, and characterization. These techniques are constantly being improved. Drilling and coring a well provides the “ground truth” for seismic interpretation. Rock formations are directly sampled by cuttings and by core and indirectly characterized with a variety of conventional and specialized well logs. To maximize characterization and optimize production, many of these tools as possible should be employed. It is often less expensive to utilize a wide variety of tools that directly image or measure reservoir properties at different scales than to drill one or two dry holes.
