Pore pressure prediction using multicomponent PS-wave seismic velocities : Columbus Basin, Trinidad W. I.

Kumar, Kimberly Melissa, 1981- 06 August 2015 (has links)
I estimate overpressure in a seismic cross-section along a 12km traverse associated with a 2D/4C OBC line in the Columbus Basin, Trinidad, West Indies, where shallow gas reduces both data quality and apparent seismic velocity for P-waves, using a modified Eaton's equation for PS-waves. Pore pressure prediction using the modified Eaton's method involves velocity analysis, conversion of the stacking velocities to interval velocities via the Dix's equation, converting the interval velocity trends to pressures and mudweights, and comparison of the predictions to 3 wells surrounding the seismic line. In the presence of shallow gas, the magnitude and areal extent of seismically derived P-wave and PS-wave velocity deviates from regional trends along the seismic line. PS-waves show a more accurate areal extent of velocity deviation due to overpressure than the P-wave, which is also affected by the presence of shallow gas. I verify my derived velocities and predicted-pressure values using sonic log data and observed pressure from 3 wells. Direct comparison between the sonic-derived velocities and the seismic-derived velocities shows that shallow gas reduces P-wave velocity, and that PS-wave velocity is less affected. Pressure prediction is verified using mudweights and formation tests from well logs and drilling reports. I find pressure predictions associated with P-waves, especially in areas of shallow gas are less reliable than for pressure predictions using PS-waves. I conclude that PS-wave velocity provides a superior map of overpressure in this region in areas with shallow gas clouds. / text

"A nova economia institucional e as atividades de exploração e produção Onshore de petroléo e gás natural em campos maduros no Brasil" / The New Institutional Economics and the Onshore Oil and Natural Gas Exploration and Production Activities in Mature Fields in Brazil.

Maria Regina Macchione de Arruda Zamith 18 April 2005 (has links)
Adotando os conceitos da Nova Economia Institucional (NEI) e de sua vertente, a teoria da Economia dos Custos de Transação (ECT), apresenta-se, neste trabalho, uma discussão sobre o ambiente institucional brasileiro para o setor de exploração e produção (E&P) de petróleo e gás natural, sua regulação e caracterização. Discute-se as especificidades relativas às condições de desenvolvimento das atividades em campos de petróleo considerados maduros e/ou marginais, que constituem a maior parte das bacias brasileiras conhecidas em terra. O trabalho defende que este segmento de atividades de E&P requer um tratamento diferenciado em termos de regulação e outras políticas públicas, visando privilegiar a entrada de novos agentes e aumentar seu dinamismo no longo prazo. Contrapondo ao ambiente institucional nacional, optou-se por estudar o desenvolvimento das atividades onshore no Texas. Assim, estabelece-se comparações entre as duas realidades com relação à sua regulamentação, programas de incentivos, estrutura industrial, histórico de atividades e, principalmente, em relação à ação dos respectivos órgãos reguladores, a Agência Nacional de Petróleo, Gás Natural e Biocombustíveis (ANP), pelo Brasil, e a Texas Railroad Commission (TRC), pelo Texas. A experiência da TRC no setor petroleiro texano, cujas características presentes, por se tratar de campos produtores de petróleo maduros, possuem certa similaridade com os campos em terra no Brasil, revela uma série de direções para o aprimoramento da regulação petroleira brasileira no sentido de promover suas atividades onshore. / By Adopting the New Institutional Economics (NIE), and the theory of Transaction Cost Economics (TCE), this work discuss about the Brazilian institutional environment for oil and natural gas exploration and production (E&P), the regulation and main features. This study discusses the specificities related to the development of onshore activities on mature and/or marginal oil and gas fields. These areas are the majority on the Brazilian developed onshore segment. The Thesis sustains that such a segment of E&P activities needs a special treatment in terms of regulation and other public policies, aiming at to improving the entrance of new players in the sector and its long-term growing. For a comparative analysis, the study of the onshore activities development in Texas provides important insights to understand and criticize de Brazilian situation. The Thesis compares both realities in terms of the regulation and incentives programs, industrial structure, history of activities as well as the main role players by the respective Oil and Gas Regulator, the National Petroleum Agency (ANP) in Brazil, and the Texas Railroad Commission (TRC) in Texas. TRC’s long experience in regulating Texas’ onshore oil and gas activities, whose present situation has similarities regarding to the Brazilian onshore areas (by their maturity), reveals a series of paths to improve Brazil’s oil and gas regulation and boost its onshore activities.
