Production Geology as a Tool for Monitoring Water Influx in a Compartmentalized California Monterey Fractured Reservoir

SPE Western Regional Meeting, 2016
Abstract This paper through a case study exemplifies the use of some common sense reservoir engineering methods using performance data in characterizing heterogeneity and compartmentalization in a complex fractured reservoir producing from the Monterey formation. The field is highly faulted and water influx has been a source of energy in

Methods and applications of fracture trace analysis in the quantification of structural geology

Geological Magazine, 1969
SUMMARYNaturally occurring linear features recognisable on aerial photographs may be related to bedrock tectonics. The identification and analysis of such linear elements, “megajoints”, reveals much information about the style and dimensions of subsurface geologic structures.

Hands-On Exercise in Environmental Structural Geology Using a Fracture Block Model

Journal of Geoscience Education, 2001
A scale analog model of an actual fractured rock reservoir was developed to demonstrate the relative utility of structural methods in predicting groundwater flow directions. Students performed several standard structural analyses directly on the fracture block rather than paper copies of fracture maps as in standard exercises.

The geology of the occator quadrangle of dwarf planet Ceres: Floor-fractured craters and other geomorphic evidence of cryomagmatism

Icarus, 2018
Abstract The Dawn Science Team is conducting a geological mapping campaign at Ceres during the nominal mission, including iterative mapping using data obtained during each orbital phase. We are using geological mapping as a method to identify the geologic processes that have modified the surface of dwarf planet Ceres.

APPLICATION OF NEW WELL LOGS AND GEOLOGY TO FRACTURING AND PRODUCIBILITY IN TIGHT GAS SANDS, COTTON VALLEY GROUP

Proceedings of SPE/DOE Low Permeability Gas Reservoirs Symposium, 1981
ABSTRACT A combination of new tools, the Digital Sonic and the Induced Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy (GST*) with the High Resolution Dipmeter (HDT*), a SARABAND* suite of logs, and a rock core study provided a unique opportunity to re-examine fracturing (fracing) procedures and producibility in the "tight gas sands" of the Cotton Valley Group ...

Geology of Mode I, Hybrid and Mode II Fractures - What Do we Really Know?

78th EAGE Conference and Exhibition 2016, 2016
Mode I and mode II and hybrid fractures are concepts frequently used in structural geology studies. While their definition is clear, there is surprisingly little knowledge on how these features form, at which depth and in which stress conditions. This is unfortunate as different modes of fracturing impact, among others, reservoir permeability and ...

Multistage Fractured Cardium Oil: Studying Geology and All of the Production and Stimulation History Thus Far

Canadian Unconventional Resources and International Petroleum Conference, 2010
Abstract As the industry has unlocked vast new resources in North America with multistage fractured horizontal wells, an immense push has occured in terms of applying these new technologies to new plays. In the last 3 years, there has been an immense development in the Cardium tight oil play in Alberta, Canada, as commodity prices have ...

An Integrated Geology and Reservoir Engineering Approach for Modelling and History Matching of a Vietnamese Fractured Granite Basement Reservoir

Proceedings of EUROPEC/EAGE Conference and Exhibition, 2007
Abstract The main source of oil production in Vietnam is from naturally fractured basement reservoirs (NFBR). The SN reservoir, which is situated offshore Vietnam in Mekong basin, consists of fractured/weathered granite and granodiorite rocks and fully encased by highly over-pressured shales, which act both as seal and source rock.

Integrating Geology, Hydraulic Fracturing Modeling, and Reservoir Simulation in the Evaluation of Complex Fluvial Tight Gas Reservoirs

All Days, 2012
Abstract Hydrocarbon resources such as tight sands have become one of the most sought after types of unconventional plays, given the extensive amounts of gas they contain. In order to access these reserves, the industry is focused on improving hydraulic fracturing techniques with the purpose of increasing gas recovery.

The DMX Protocol: A New Generation of Geology Driven 3D Discrete Fault and Fracture Network Modelling

Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference, 2019
Abstract A new Protocol ("DMX") is presented for 3d DFFN (Discrete Fault and Fracture Network) modelling, a numerical code developed over the last 20 years in order to converge towards a more realistic Discontinuity (fault and fracture) Network representation in space.
