Book excerpt: When Fertl's first book, Abnormal Formation Pressures, was published by Elsevier in 1976, the topic was relatively new in book form. In the years that followed, his book became the standard work for petroleum engineers and drillers. The list of major petroleum provinces with abnormally high pore pressures has grown steadily over the years, and with it has grown our knowledge and experience. There have also been technological advances. A new book was required, but no longer could the topic be covered adequately by one person. The problems of abnormally high formation pressures encountered in the subsurface while drilling for petroleum are very diverse, involving geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers, drilling engineers, and borehole logging engineers. The acute anticipation of such pressures before drilling has become possible with modern technology. This book treats these developments and covers the following topics: world occurrences, the geology of abnormal pore pressures and the background theory, reservoir engineering aspects of abnormally pressured reservoirs, detection of abnormal pressures by geophysical methods before drilling and during drilling, and their evaluation after drilling. It examines the special problems of shallow hazards from shallow abnormal pressures, and relief-well engineering to control blowouts. It also examines the generation of abnormal pressures from hydrocarbon generation in the Rocky Mountains, and the distribution of abnormal pressures in south Louisiana, USA. The topics are examined from a practical point of view with a theoretical background. There is a glossary of terms, and a relevant practical conversion table. Both SI units and the conventional US oil industry units are used.

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Basin and Petroleum System Modeling (BPSM) is coupled-physics approach that tracks over the course of basin history, the evolution of basin geometry, compaction, pressure, fluid flow, temperature, and chemical transformation of organic matter to quantitatively predict petroleum generation, migration and accumulation. The measured data from petroleum wells, conversely, can help us improve our knowledge of the basin's geologic history. For basin modeling, the initial model building requires parameters that are derived from our geologic knowledge of various aspects of the basin history through time (typically tens to hundreds of millions of years), like stratigraphy, geochemistry, timing of tectonic events, and boundary conditions like heat flow. But because of the spatially and temporally changing depositional environments in a basin, it is very challenging to accurately know the large number of input parameters required to represent the basin history. In addition, current workflows of constraining the inputs to measured data or evidence often do not account for the various non-unique possibilities that can create the outcome that is the present. To address this challenge, we demonstrate the use of data from drilled wells and basin models in Bayesian networks to create a workflow that provides a quantitative way to: 1) Vary model parameters: consider all hypothesis without biasing to one, 2) Reduce uncertainty by calibrating the model to measured evidence without repeated manual adjustments 3) Update the understanding of model parameters when new data becomes available, without re-running computationally heavy coupled-physics simulations, by using Bayesian Networks and 4) Create traceable workflow with an integrated economic analysis to make optimal decisions under the reduced, but still present uncertainty using Influence Diagrams. An example of prolific petroleum producing Jeanne d'Arc basin, offshore Newfoundland, Canada, is used to illustrate how the workflow facilitates constraining the source rock quality, thermal history, and migration pathways. The thesis is comprised of three main chapters. They are written in journal format, each designed to be a standalone chapter: Chapter 1 presents a comprehensive basin study of the Jeanne d'Arc basin. This work examines the past five decades of research of the Mesozoic -- Cenozoic (250 million years ago to present) evolution of the basin. We closely examine the unknowns and uncertainties, and where some studies differ in their findings. We create a 3 -- dimensional numerical basin model spanning an area of about 3200 km2 and use the framework to incorporate large regional fault trends, spatial variation in the quality of organic matter, and to test the conceptual models of elevated basal heat flows associated with the rifting of North America from Africa, Iberia, and Greenland. The model can also help us understand the evolution of neighboring basins: Orphan and Flemish pass, which have a large resource potential. Chapter 2 presents the novel use of Bayesian Network approach to quantify the multi-dimensional uncertainty created from non-linear interactions of basin parameters and insufficient constraints. We show how the Bayes Net structure incorporates expert knowledge about cause-effect relationships like Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and quantity of hydrocarbons produced, as well as the conditional independence of temperature to the TOC. We elucidate with an example why this network representation can summarize the joint probabilities in a compact form. We then illustrate how the relationship between parameters is learnt from data produced by different realizations of the basin model, and how uncertainty in the input parameters is reduced by conditioning to measured evidence. With the 120 basin models created with varying input parameters, we show how this method helps quantitatively reduce uncertainty in both our understanding of geologic history and our predictions of drilled hydrocarbon fluid quantities. Sensitivity analysis shows that hydrocarbon accumulation is more sensitive to fault sealing properties than the basal heat flow in the range of present uncertainty. Our analysis finds that the time-varying permeability of faults largely impacts the leakage and filling of deep and shallow reservoirs, and hence their accumulation volumes. Chapter 3 illustrates a structured decision-making process that is informed by a quantitative evaluation of risks and returns from exploration decisions using influence diagrams. Once we learn the probabilities of different predictions of accumulation volumes from the methods developed in Chapter 2, a question arises: how do we use these probabilities to quantitatively inform decisions and actions? We compare influence diagrams to the more conventional decision trees and then use data from different times in the exploration history of the Jeanne d'Arc to demonstrate the use of influence diagrams to calculate the value of information and predict optimal survey, drilling, and production decisions. Finally, we argue that the graphical formulation is an excellent communication tool that can incorporate quantitative uncertainties, expert knowledge, and decision maker preferences for different types of decision scenarios. Our illustration with real data paves the path for incorporating this workflow in large organizational settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been prepared by the collaborative effort of two somewhat separate technical groups: the researchers at the Institute for Petroleum and Organic Geochemistry, Forschungszentrum Jii lich (KFA), and the technical staff of Integrated Exploration Systems (IES). One of us, Donald R. Baker, from Rice University, Houston, has spent so much time at KFA as a guest scientist and researcher that it is most appropriate for him to contribute to the book. During its more than 20-year history the KFA group has made numerous and significant contributions to the understanding of petroleum evolution. The KFA researchers have emphasized both the field and laboratory approaches to such important problems as source rock recognition and evaluation, oil and gas generation, maturation of organic matter, expulsion and migration of hydrocarbons, and crude oil composition and alteration. IES Jiilich has been a leader in the development and application of numerical simulation (basin modeling) procedures. The cooperation between the two groups has resulted in a very fruitful synergy effect both in the development of modeling software and in its application. The purpose of the present volume developed out of the 1994 publication by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists of a collection of individually authored papers entitled The Petroleum System - From Source to Trap, edited by L. B. Magoon and W. G. Dow.

This book was released on 2006-11-13 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interest in seismic stratigraphic techniques to interpret reflection datasets is well established. The advent of sophisticated subsurface reservoir studies and 4D monitoring, for optimising the hydrocarbon production in existing fields, does demonstrate the importance of the 3D seismic methodology. The added value of reflection seismics to the petroleum industry has clearly been proven over the last decades. Seismic profiles and 3D cubes form a vast and robust data source to unravel the structure of the subsurface. It gets nowadays exploited in ever greater detail. Larger offsets and velocity anisotropy effects give for instance access to more details on reservoir flow properties like fracture density, porosity and permeability distribution, Elastic inversion and modelling may tell something about the change in petrophysical parameters. Seismic investigations provide a vital tool for the delineation of subtle hydrocarbon traps. They are the basis for understanding the regional basin framework and the stratigraphic subdivision. Seismic stratigraphy combines two very different scales of observation: the seismic and well-control. The systematic approach applied in seismic stratigraphy explains why many workers are using the principles to evaluate their seismic observations. The here presented modern geophysical techniques allow more accurate prediction of the changes in subsurface geology. Dynamics of sedimentary environments are discussed with its relation to global controling factors and a link is made to high-resolution sequence stratigraphy. ‘Seismic Stratigraphy Basin Analysis and Reservoir Characterisation’ summarizes basic seismic interpretation techniques and demonstrates the benefits of intergrated reservoir studies for hydrocarbon exploration. Topics are presented from a practical point of view and are supported by well-illustrated case histories. The reader (student as well as professional geophysicists, geologists and reservoir engineers) is taken from a basic level to more advanced study techniques. * Overview reflection seismic methods and its limitations.* Link between basic seismic stratigraphic principles and high resolution sequence stratigraphy.* Description of various techniques for seismic reservoir characterization and synthetic modelling.* Overview nversion techniques, AVO and seismic attributes analysis.
