Introduction to the oil industry and oil show evaluation: a personal retrospective.- An introduction and vocabulary of oil and gas.- The art of exploration.- A history of drilling and exploration.- Generational challenges and evolving technology.- Some personal experiences in learning about seals and shows.- The art of exploration: plays versus prospects and getting proper experience early.- Creaming curves and new plays vs. prospect-challenging the 'peak oil' paradigm.- Looking at rocks, dealing with people and your learning curve.- Break from paradigms: believe in yourself and your data.- Pay attention to the fluids and the key well concept.- The value of teams, peer assists and risk assessment.- The need to get it right needs to be balanced by the need for speed.- Looking for the NULF (Nasty, Ugly, Little Fact) to break paradigms.- Pay attention to right rocks with oil and gas shows.- You never have enough data, but perseverance pays off.- Background on seismic.- New tools: advances in migration modelling and shows calibration.- Spider maps to 3D models.- The basics of traps, seals, reservoirs and shows.- The petroleum system: primary, secondary migration and unconventional exploration.- Traps, porosity, spill point and seals.- Assessing risk: think about seals, structure and reservoir quality.- Making the right maps.- Some thoughts on stratigraphic traps.- The basics of rock properties, free water levels, buoyancy pressure and hydrocarbon shows.- Porosity.- Buoyancy pressure (Pb), pressure verses depth plots, free water levels and water saturation.- Water and hydrocarbon saturations and height above free water plots.- Oil-water contacts, top of transition zones vs. FWL and relative permeability.- Permeability.- Waste zones.- Oil show types.- Kerogen-rich source rocks.- Thinking like a molecule.- Drilling, mud logging, wireline logs and cores.- Historical context around understanding shows and drilling wells.- Horizontal wells and multi-stage fracturing.- East vs. West: evolution of different evaluation techniques.- Seeps.- Drilling with mud.- Wellbore design, pressures and rig safety.- Background on muds, mud-weights and circulation time.- Mud logs, gasses and cuttings descriptions.- Analyzing mud gasses- wet to light gas ratio analysis.- Wellbore flushing and over and underbalanced drilling.- Cuttings and oil shows.- Residual shows.- Basics of well logs.- Well log formats: digital vs. raster.- The well header and common logs.- Common log displays and the basics of log interpretation.- Gamma ray (GR) and Spontaneous Potential (SP) logs.- Porosity logs, volume of shale calculations and total vs. effective porosity.- Quick look for gas effect and permeability from resistivity profiles.- Calculating lithology.- Capturing and interpreting core data.- Core data.- Saturation changes in coring.- How to miss good hydrocarbon shows and a case histories.- Ways to miss hydrocarbon shows.- Suppressed resistivity and 'hot gamma ray' reservoirs.- Case history 1: Russian River SE Field: "Hot" dolomite and by-passed pay, Williston Basin, Montana.- Case history 2: Using gas wetness mud log analysis to discover a new turbidite oil play fairway, Eocene Dharvi Dungar Formation, Barmer Basin, India.- Acknowledgements and introduction.- Regional setting.- Summary and impact.- Understanding seals, pressures and hydrodynamics.- Basic pressure terms, uses and pressure data collection.- Why look at seals from the standpoint of pressure and hydrodynamics?.- Some good references.- Pore pressure.- Recognizing seals on pressure-depth plots and understanding mud weights.- Tools and data capture for pressure analysis.- Data reporting formats.- Understanding facies and fault seals qualitatively.- Seals overview: facies and fault seals.- Seal quality, pressures and time.- Fault seals.- Fault traps, gouge and juxtaposition analysis.- Stress direction: borehole breakout.- Testing fault models with shows.
About the Author: John C. Dolson, Director, DSP Geosciences and Associates, LLC and Senior Geological Advisor, Delonex Energy (London). He has 35+ year's oil and gas exploration both domestic and international. He has served as Vice President of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (2006/2007), and was Senior Geological Advisor for TNK-BP (Russia), Amoco/BP before starting DSP Geosciences in 2008. Mr. Dolson has supervised hundreds of geoscientists and has been responsible for prospect generation as well as training and development, with 15 years spent living abroad (Egypt, London, and Moscow). He has served as an adjunct faculty member at the University of Miami (Fla), Colorado State University, Royal Holloway University (London) and geological advisor to Moscow State University and Tyumen State University (Russia). He has an extensive publications list including several landmark papers for AAPG dealing with stratigraphic traps and regional petroleum potential assessment and has authored books on Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Monument in 1982 and on unconformity analysis with the Rock Mountain Association of Geologists in 1994.
