14 Rig Personnel Company man: representative of the operator (oil company). Offshore Installation Manager (OIM): the most senior manager on board an offshore drilling rig or production platform, responsible for the health, welfare and safety of the personnel of the service company. Tool pusher: responsible for maintaining all tools, equipment, supplies, etc!for the drilling operations. Driller: in charge of the drilling crew, driving the drilling rig, monitor drilling performance and hole conditions to optimize drill rate and avoid hazards. Derrick hand: guides the stands of drillpipe into the top of the drill string from a position at the top of the derrick.
15 Rig Personnel Roughneck: works on the rig floor handling the drill pipe during drilling operations. Roustabout: handles various jobs including rig maintenance and cleanup. Geologist: evaluates cuttings, core and log data from the drilling well and relates to the well prognosis. Mudlogger: service company employee responsible for gathering data and collecting cuttings and fluid samples during the drilling of a well to identify possible indications of hydrocarbons ( shows ). Mud engineer: responsible for the drilling fluid ( drilling mud ) which lubricates the drill bit and clears cuttings from the borehole.
16 Rig Personnel The number and makeup of the crew staffing a drilling rig varies depending on the location and type of drilling operation. Most drilling operations run 24 hours/day to optimize rig use, and there are typically two full crews to work the day shift and the night shift. Crews typically work two weeks on and two weeks off, although 28-day shifts are common in remote locations.

35 Drilling Well Completion Completion is the process in which the well is prepared to produce hydrocarbons. Perforations are made through the casing to allow formation fluids to flow into the well bore from the producing reservoir. Completion fluids are pumped into the reservoir to clean up damage caused during drilling and enhance reservoir flow. A packer is set above the perforations to isolate them from the rest of the wellbore. Production tubing inside the casing then conducts the hydrocarbons through the packer to the surface.

39 Fracture Stimulation Hydraulic fracturing ( fracing or a frac job): pumping pressurized fluid into reservoirs to create fractures which allow crude oil and natural gas to flow from the reservoir into the well bore. Fractures: induced fractures extend into the reservoir, increasing the surface area of the formation exposed to the borehole and therefore the rate at which reservoir fluids can be produced. Proppant: fractures are kept open by inclusion of a proppant, commonly a uniformly sized sand. Improved fracture stimulation technology has allowed tight gas sand and unconventional shale reservoirs to produce in commercial rates and volumes.

43 Environmental Challenges
44 Fracing Environmental Impact This process has been used for more than 60 years in over a million wells Surface casing protects the groundwater aquifer behind steel and cement Hydraulic fracturing generally takes place thousands of feet underground, below multiple layers of impermeable rock and well below drinking water aquifers. Hydraulic frac fluid is ~99 percent water and proppant, and ~1% chemical additives (found in household products). Most of the sand or ceramic proppant remains in the reservoir to hold open the fractures. Most of the water and additives flow back to the surface where they are recycled or disposed of at permitted waste water disposal sites.

46 Advantages of Directional Drilling Drilling at an angle (or horizontally) increases the exposed section of well bore through the reservoir. Access multiple targets that are not vertically stacked Access reservoirs where surface access is difficult or not possible, such as under a city, airport, lake, or environmentally restricted area. Drill multiple wells from a single surface location to limit surface impact (e.g. arctic environments), or eliminate the need for multiple production facilities (e.g. offshore platform). Relief wells" can be drilled from a safe distance to control a blow out well.

53 Well Data Acquisition Types of Well Data Relating Log Data to Geology Relating Log Data to Seismic Data
54 Types of Well Data The following processes are used to acquire data from drilling wells to analyze subsurface formations: Mud logging Wireline logging MWD (Measurement While Drilling) Coring
55 Mud Logging Mud logging is the evaluation of formation cuttings created at the drill bit and transported to the surface by the drilling mud. The cuttings are caught at the shale shaker and placed in small bags at regular intervals. Analysis is done using a microscope and a ultraviolet box to look for indications of oil stains (florescence). The drilling mud is also analyzed for hydrocarbon gases using a gas chromatograph.

64 Logging While Drilling Advantages: Measure formation properties before drilling fluid invasion. Obtain data from well bores that are difficult to log with wireline tools (e.g. horizontal wells). In some cases alleviates the need to run wireline logs. Widely used for geosteering of horizontal wells in unconventional resource plays.! note: Geosteering is the process of adjusting borehole orientation during drilling to target geological objectives based on mud logging data and information gathered by MWD and LWD tools.

68 Determining Pay A reservoir or portion of a reservoir that contains economically producible hydrocarbons i.e. capable of "paying" an income. Sometimes called pay sand or pay zone. The overall interval in which pay occurs is the gross pay interval. The intervals within the gross pay zone that meet criteria for producing hydrocarbons such as minimum porosity, permeability and hydrocarbon saturation are called the net pay interval.

74 Logging While Drilling (MWD & LWD) Sophisticated (and relatively expensive) logging tools that are physically located in the bottom hole drilling assembly. Measurements include borehole temperature, pressure and directional data (MWD), and many wireline log measurements such as resistivity, porosity, gamma ray and velocity data (LWD). The measurements are made in real time, stored in solid-state memory, and transmitted to the surface by digitally encoded mud pulses.

75 Coring: Conventional Cores Conventional, full diameter or whole core allows for accurate determination of formation rock properties and fluid saturations. Whole core is a cylinder of rock, 3" to 4" in diameter and up to 60 feet long acquired in a core barrel. The core barrel is a hollow pipe tipped with a circular, diamond bit that cuts the core and retains it for retrieval to the surface. Conventional core is invaluable for reservoir evaluation although time consuming and expensive to obtain. Coring takes place at pre-determined intervals, before objective has been penetrated.
76 Coring: Conventional Cores
77 Coring: Sidewall Cores A core gun has numerous, hollow steel cylinders mounted along its sides, attached by short cables. The core cylinders are propelled laterally into the formation at selected depths by explosive charges. The cables then pull the cylinders containing small samples (1 diameter x 1.75 length) from the well bore wall and transports them to the surface. Sidewall cores allow sampling at many points in the well bore after wireline logs have been acquired. Sidewall cores are generally less expensive Sample recovery is often poor, and the potential to stick the tool in the hole is relatively high.

81 Reservoir Engineering Basics Drive Mechanisms Evaluation of Reserves & Resources Reservoir Modeling and Simulation
82 Basic Reservoir Terminology: Porosity, Permeability & Water Saturation Porosity: A measure of the void spaces in a reservoir recorded as a percentage between 0 and 100%. Fracture porosity: Associated with a fracture system related to faulting or induced fractures (frac job), creating porosity in rocks like brittle shales that lack primary porosity Permeability: A measure of the ability of a reservoir to transmit fluids through connected pore space, designated by the darcy (D), or more commonly the millidarcy (md) or darcy. Water Saturation: The fraction of the pore space that is occupied by formation water, expressed in %.
83 Sandstone Reservoirs Pore space Sand Grains Permeability Good Porosity = Lots of Space for Oil & Gas
84 Hydrocarbon Reservoirs Porosity Gas/ Oil Contact Oil/ Water Contact Sand Grain
85 Reservoir Drive Mechanisms+ The natural forces in the reservoir that displace oil and gas out of the reservoir, into the well bore and up to the surface are called reservoir drive mechanisms. A pressure differential or pressure sink must exist between the reservoir and the wellbore in order for reservoir fluids to be produced. As the reservoir is produced, pressure is naturally maintained by one of these processes:! Water influx from an aquifer! Fluids (oil and gas) expanding within reservoir to occupy volume! Reduction in volume, i.e., reservoir collapse! Fluid flowing from one elevation to another, gravity drainage
86 Edge Water Drive As the oil is produced, water residing in the reservoir will drive or sweep the oil toward the well bore. Additional water continues to enter the system (recharge).
87 Reserves Evaluation Methods Common methods for determining the volume of hydrocarbons in a reservoir include: Decline Curve Analysis Volumetrics
88 Decline Curve Analysis (Mature Reservoirs) + Barrels of oil and water per month Economic Limit Decline Curve Projected EUR 83,300 bbls. Field Production Rate Decline Curve
89 Reserves Evaluation: Volumetrics Geoscientists and reservoir engineers work together utilizing detailed reservoir maps and well bore data to estimate the original barrels of oil contained in the reservoir (OOIP). Stock Tank Oil Initially In Place (STOIIP) refers to the original volume of oil in the reservoir converted to volume at surface conditions. A recovery factor is estimated utilizing the permeability of the formation and the reservoir drive mechanism. The recovery factor is applied to the STOIIP to provide a deterministic (equation driven) estimate of the amount of oil that will ultimately be produced.

95 Definition of Oil Reserves Oil and gas in underground reservoirs can only be classified as reserves if they can be produced commercially under current economic conditions using currently available technology. There are three widely recognized reserve categories: proved, probable, and possible reserves.! Proved reserves (P1): Reasonably certain" to be producible using current technology, at current prices, current commercial terms and given current political constraints.! Probable reserves (P2): "Reasonably Probable" of being produced using current or likely technology at current prices, with current commercial and political terms.! Possible reserves (P3): Some likelihood of being developed under favorable circumstances.
96 Definition of Oil Reserves
97 Reserves Evaluation: Commerciality Reservoirs are generally inhomogeneous and may be compartmentalized by faults and stratigraphic barriers which complicate the reservoir development plan. Careful analysis of the reservoir is required to optimize drainage of the hydrocarbons. The cost of drilling additional development wells must be weighed against the acceleration of the production rate and maximizing the reserves ultimately recovered. An economic model is often constructed to estimate the balance between field development costs and expected revenues over time.
98 Economic Model
99 Reservoir Models and Simulation A three dimensional Reservoir Model of an oil or gas reservoir is constructed from the combination of reservoir data including well logs, cores and seismic data. The limits and quality of the reservoir are accurately determined and the parameters are extrapolated throughout the model using geo- statistical methods. Reservoir Simulation programs use the reservoir models to predict fluid flow (oil, gas and/or water) during the life of the reservoir. The simulation is calibrated for accuracy by comparing the prediction of initial output to historic reservoir pressure and production data ("history matching ). The simulation can be run under various scenarios to optimize future production. (example: drill additional wells, 2ndary recovery).

C) Rotational channel margin slides formed by base failure and forced blue unit and levee material to slide down on circular failure planes and forced the toe thrust up through the channel floor. (D) Levee growth, rotational sliding, and channel excavation continued synchronously to maintain a conveyor belt process in phase 4. Channel backfilling developed at the end of phase 4 in response to changes in base level. The sandy nature of turbidity currents is reflected in the sand-rich nature of the channel fill.+

130 Risk and Uncertainty Risk is generally associated with an event such as Will our 3D Seismic Shoot confirm our prospect?. Uncertainty is the variability of the outcome such as How much could we sell our lease for after we shoot seismic?. Uncertainty is also applied to various factors that can affect the outcome.
131 How do we Quantify Risk and Uncertainty? We quantify Risk and Uncertainty by assigning Probabilities to the various geologic and reservoir parameters. Probabilities can be determined statistically, stochastically, or by estimation (gut feeling ).
132 Risk and Uncertainty Risk is generally associated with an event such as Will our 3D Seismic Shoot confirm our prospect?. Uncertainty is the variability of the outcome such as How much could we sell our lease for after we shoot seismic?.
133 What is Probability? Probability is defined as the Subjective confidence about the likelihood of an uncertain future event, given repeated trials. (say that in English please) The confidence of an event actually occurring
134 Probability Analysis Variables (data) can be analyzed mathematically, graphically, and/or subjectively. Mathematical analysis can consist of calculated summary statistics or stochastic simulation. Graphical Analysis can consist of Frequency Distribution plots (histograms), Cumulative Distribution plots, or Probability Plots. Subjective Analysis can consist of Rules of Thumb, Professional Opinion, or Gut Feeling.
135 Commentary!one may have Uncertainty without Risk but not Risk without Uncertainty. We can be uncertain about the winner of a contest, but unless we have some personal stake in it, we have no Risk. The measure of Uncertainty refers only to the Probabilities assigned to outcomes, while the measure of Risk requires both Probabilities for outcomes and losses quantified for outcomes.
136 The Oil and Gas Industry Often Limits the Definition of Risk and Uncertainty Risk is the chance (probability) of total loss (dry hole). Uncertainty is the variability of the outcome (expected reserves).
137 How does the Industry Describe Uncertainty? Uncertainty is a measure of the variability of input parameters which will affect the expected outcome (resources/reserves). The outcome can be represented by a single value or can represent a range of values. The measures are usually presented as a range of Probabilities. P99 - Absolute minimum P90 - Reasonable minimum P50 - Most likely expected value (Median) P10 - Maximum expected value P1 - Absolute Maximum PMean - sometimes substituted for Most Likely Swanson s Mean - sometimes substituted for PMean
138 The Industry Accepted 5 Geologic Risk Assessment Factors These inputs can be difficult to quantify, and are often the result of professional opinion HC Source 90% Migration 80% Reservoir 50% Closure 60% Containment 80% Chance of Success (COS) 17% Individual likelihoods (probabilities) are multiplied together to quantify RISK
139 Uncertainty Factors that can Affect Reservoir Size Most Input Min Likely? Max Volumetric Parameters P90 P50 P10 Area (acres) Net Thickness (ft) Porosity (%) Water Saturation (%) Recovery Factor (%) P 50 Sometimes input into Stochastic Analysis, or often left out and determined graphically, and then input into a Deterministic analysis.
140 Why is the Oil and Gas Industry Using these Methods? In the past, Risk Factors used tended to be the result of historical success rates or very optimistic guesses. Reservoir Input Parameters used in Deterministic Analysis tended to be described as Most Likely values. Upon analysis what was often used as a most likely value tended to skew more towards the maximum value.
141 Arriving at Probabilities Subjectively Probabilities derived from professional judgment are the most commonly used (and abused) inputs. These are often as good as those derived from more rigorous and time consuming methods. But they as only as good as the evaluator, biased inputs have resulted in supporting many otherwise questionable prospects.
142 Subjective Risk Analysis Rules of Thumb are often used to assign Risk such as those based on Reserve Class: Proved Developed % COS Proved Undeveloped 75-90% COS Probable Undeveloped 50-75% COS Possible Undeveloped 25-50% COS New Field Wildcat 1-25% COS
143 Subjective Risk Analysis 5 Component System All of these parameters (including the final outcome) can be determined by Professional Opinion (guesswork). The geoscientist working the area often has intimate knowledge and insight. HC Source 90% Migration 80% Reservoir 50% Closure 60% Containment 80% Chance of Success (COS) 17% An outside evaluator (or supervisor) not familiar with the area might have difficulty in validating these estimates, and thus may have to defer to the credibility and reputation of the Geoscientist s opinion.

145 Subjective Risk and Uncertainty Analysis The evaluator can establish a single Risk Factor and Uncertainties of a Low, Mid, and High side Reserve case based on estimated (professional opinion) parameters. For a prospect it may have Risk of 20% COS with the main uncertainty being Area Low-200 acres, Mid-600 acres, and High 1000 acres with Reserves varying with these parameters only. For a development well it may have Risk of 80% COS, with the main uncertainty being Recovery Factor, Low-100 BAF, Mid 250 BAF, High 400 BAF with Reserves varying with these parameters only.

147 Statistics and Probability Unfortunately no discussion of Probability can avoid at some point the use of statistical methods. While Probabilities are usually expressed as a decimal or fraction they are often derived from statistical analysis. Probabilities can be verified by repeated trials (simulation).

153 What Does the Normal Distribution Represent? Data that fits a Normal Distribution is most likely the result of an additive process of other factors. (What does that mean?) Example The role of a single die will generate a Uniform Distribution, all outcomes from 1-6 will have equal occurrence. The SUM of the role of two dice will yield a normal distribution (non-linear).

157 Probability Analysis - Stochastic Methods Stochastic Methods (Computer Simulation) is commonly used to account for reservoir uncertainty. They allow for variability of multiple parameters They are very fast.

160 Probability Analysis Graphical Methods Best Practice? Probability Analysis using graphical techniques is a relatively quick method to determine Mean values. This technique requires only the inputs of Reasonable Minimum and Maximum values. These values can be derived from a combination of opinion, statistical analysis, or more rigorous evaluation techniques (not covered here). This method removes the evaluator s bias towards picking optimistic Most Likely Values. Removing Most Likely bias is probably the Most important outcome of Probability Analysis.
