Details for "Exploring for Stratigraphic Traps Using Pressure/Depth Plots and Salinities"
Who Should Attend:
Geologists and engineers who are involved in looking for permeability barriers and subtle traps missed by others in well-drilled basins or those looking for potential stratigraphic traps in unfamiliar overseas basins.
Course Objective:
This course will show geologists and engineers how to use pressure data from DSTs, production tests and wireline tests (MDTs, RFTs etc.) to make pressure depth plots, which reveal permeability barriers such as pinchouts, sealing faults and any interruption to reservoir continuity, which can trap hydrocarbons. It will also demonstrate how pressures can be used to verify correlations to determine if sands are separate. Hands on experience will be provided by 3 class projects to find traps using data before each pool was discovered. Students then assess how big the pool is using the discovery well pressure data.
Class Projects: (Case Histories) Students start with raw data and progress through all steps to completed maps.
1. Defining a stratigraphic trap (800 MMBBL Oilfield) Devonian Sst; 2. Identifying flushed vs prospective areas in Williston Basin; 3. Finding giant but subtle gas reserves (Central Basin Gas type trap)
Reid, Hugh W., operates a petroleum consultancy in Calgary, Canada, which specializes in DST design and interpretation. He has broad experience in teaching DST courses to the petroleum industry in Canada and overseas. He received his B.Sc. (Geol.) from the Univ. of Bristol, U.K. in 1968; he has 26 years experience in DST analysis and hydrodynamics, 10 years with Mobil Oil in Calgary and over 16 years as an independent DST analyst and as technical manager for Delta P Test Corp (specialized DSTs in tight gas sands). Mr. Reid is the author of various DST manuals and technical articles on formation damage and closed chamber DSTs in tight gas sands. He is past president of the Canadian Well Logging Society, and also a member of SPE, AAPG and CSPG.
