This book was released on 2014-08-21 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the oil and gas (O&G) industry grows by leaps and bounds, so do data; kb (kilobyte) -> Yb (Yottabyte). This book is specifically written for O&G Data Management personnel and Earth Sciences majoring students who will juggle and grapple with seismic data on a routine basis during the course of their career or study. The step by step methodology, though seems orthodox, has been revisited so as to ensure no unnecessary repetition of work. The book will pave the way for O&G Data Management personnel to have a firm grip in handling seismic data entrusted to them, and to deal with the data in a professional way with no "cutting corners". It must be noted that when dealing with seismic data management, the word "novice" is not in the work vocabulary. Throughout this book, O&G Data Management personnel get to understand the basics of the seismic data and their management, and acquire additional skill that can be applied to any sub-surface data management with minimal changes to the workflow Yottabyte — The biggest storage capacity defined by Julian Bunn ET el in the GIOD project

Download or read book Integration of Geophysical Technologies in the Petroleum Industry written by Hamish Wilson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-16 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most utilized technique for exploring the Earth's subsurface for petroleum is reflection seismology. However, a sole focus on reflection seismology often misses opportunities to integrate other geophysical techniques such as gravity, magnetic, resistivity, and other seismicity techniques, which have tended to be used in isolation and by specialist teams. There is now growing appreciation that these technologies used in combination with reflection seismology can produce more accurate images of the subsurface. This book describes how these different field techniques can be used individually and in combination with each other and with seismic reflection data. World leading experts present chapters covering different techniques and describe when, where, and how to apply them to improve petroleum exploration and production. It also explores the use of such techniques in monitoring CO2 storage reservoirs. Including case studies throughout, it will be an invaluable resource for petroleum industry professionals, advanced students, and researchers.

Download or read book Method for Identifying Subsurface Fluid Migration and Drainage Pathways in and Among Oil and Gas Reservoirs Using 3 D and 4 D Seismic Imaging written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The invention utilizes 3-D and 4-D seismic surveys as a means of deriving information useful in petroleum exploration and reservoir management. The methods use both single seismic surveys (3-D) and multiple seismic surveys separated in time (4-D) of a region of interest to determine large scale migration pathways within sedimentary basins, and fine scale drainage structure and oil-water-gas regions within individual petroleum producing reservoirs. Such structure is identified using pattern recognition tools which define the regions of interest. The 4-D seismic data sets may be used for data completion for large scale structure where time intervals between surveys do not allow for dynamic evolution. The 4-D seismic data sets also may be used to find variations over time of small scale structure within individual reservoirs which may be used to identify petroleum drainage pathways, oil-water-gas regions and, hence, attractive drilling targets. After spatial orientation, and amplitude and frequency matching of the multiple seismic data sets, High Amplitude Event (HAE) regions consistent with the presence of petroleum are identified using seismic attribute analysis. High Amplitude Regions are grown and interconnected to establish plumbing networks on the large scale and reservoir structure on the small scale. Small scale variations over time between seismic surveys within individual reservoirs are identified and used to identify drainage patterns and bypassed petroleum to be recovered. The location of such drainage patterns and bypassed petroleum may be used to site wells.

Book excerpt: Technology has proved its credibility by helping us to combat some of the most important challenges in decades. On a high interest, our yesterday’s concerns are now our jubilations today. Also, various innovations that technology is offering our industry today has shown to us clearly that the industry cannot afford to shuttle its today’s cares till tomorrow. It is even more interesting that today, creative minds in the industry are already gazing into the future in other to tackle our tomorrow’s challenges right from now. All these validate a simple fact that: “the oil and Gas industry is a technology based and innovation driven” (David, 2011). The phase changes and its adaptation is so rapid that if professionals fails to yield to it or feels reluctant to its tingle, such would be dismayed in waiting and may find it stiff in catching up with the transiting train. The thrust of the drive witnessed by the industry in the recent decade is intense. This is wholly responsible to the world’s high demand for our commodity (Oil and Gas), our daily venture into the ultra-deepwater exploration, unconventional resource exploration systems which is always beckoning on new and strong techniques. All of these are enough to charge professionals, to be awake to the demands of their fields by yielding their thoughts to the present breakthrough and preparing to face the next decade’s challenges One important breakthrough that technology has offered the seismic data acquisition field of recent is the “Nodal Seismic System”. The success is currently attracting a great deal of key players from every end of the industry and has kept discussions on over time. The advancement is also known as Cableless, Wireless or Nodal seismic acquisition system, as it may be. It is an improvement over the conventional cabled seismic acquisition system. An overview of this advancement In relation to the challenges it solved has been looked into in his article.

Download or read book Geophysics for Petroleum Engineers written by Fred Aminzadeh and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-12-09 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geophysical techniques apply the principles of physics for study of physical responses of rocks under passive or active perturbation. Geophysical data acquisition, processing and interpretation are driven by established scientific principles. Data from geophysical tools provide coverage with spatially continuous high density measurements. Well data like cores and well logs provide vertically high resolution measurements at the well location, however, the distribution of wells is sparse and discontinuous. The detailed spatial coverage from geophysical data are calibrated with analysis of well logs, pressure tests, cores, geologic depositional knowledge and other information from appraisal wells. The methods use high precision sensors that measure the properties on the earth's surface, in oceans, in wells and from the air, also from satellites. They measure changes of physical properties and calibrate the measured geophysical attributes with rock properties. The data play important role in developing a gross reservoir model. The reservoir architecture or structure and the reservoir rock and fluid properties are derived from the analysis and data integration. Other reservoir properties that can affect geophysical measurements are density, oil viscosity, stresses, and fractures. The interpretation has inherent ambiguity or multiple interpretations. Geophysics contributes to reservoir characterization, reservoir monitoring and its management by adding maximum value in improving production plan and by minimizing risk e.g., risk of dry hole, risk of blow out, risk of in-efficient recovery process, among others. Multiple geologic parameters are assessed with the same geophysical data.
