    Description / Table of Contents: Reservoir compartmentalization the segregation of a petroleum accumulation into a number of individual fluid/pressure compartments controls the volume of moveable oil or gas that might be connected to any given well drilled in a field, and consequently impacts booking of reserves and operational profitability. This is a general feature of modern exploration and production portfolios, and has driven major developments in geoscience, engineering and related technology. Given that compartmentalization is a consequence of many factors, an integrated subsurface approach is required to better understand and predict compartmentalization behaviour, and to minimize the risk of it occurring unexpectedly. This volume reviews our current understanding and ability to model compartmentalization. It highlights the necessity for effective specialist discipline integration, and the value of learning from operational experience in: detection and monitoring of compartmentalization; stratigraphic and mixed-mode compartmentalization; and fault-dominated compartmentalization.

    Description: Reservoir Compartmentalization - the segregation of a petroleum accumulation into a number of individual fluid/pressure compartments - occurs when flow is prevented across ‘sealed’ boundaries in the reservoir. These boundaries are caused by a variety of geological and fluid dynamic factors, but there are two basic types: ‘static seals’ that are completely sealed and capable of withholding (trapping) petroleum columns over geological time; and ‘dynamic seals’ that are low to very low permeability flow baffles that reduce petroleum cross-flow to infinitesimally slow rates. The latter allow fluids and pressures to equilibrate across a boundary over geological time-scales, but act as seals over production time-scales, because they prevent cross-flow at normal production rates - such that fluid contacts, saturations and pressures progressively segregate into ‘dynamic’ compartments. Thus, reservoir compartmentalization impacts the volume of moveable (produceable) oil or gas that might be connected to any given well drilled in a field, which restricts the volume of reserves that can be ‘booked’ for that field. Booking of reserves is tightly regulated by government authorities because it is a key measure used by stock analysts and investors to value an oil company. This places reservoir compartmentalization studies, and the predictive science and technology applied to them, at the heart of company valuation. Unexpected compartmentalization can also seriously impact the profitability of a field: with more data acquisition, more study, more wells, more time being required to produce less oil and gas than was originally anticipated. In extreme cases, this might even lead to early...

    Description: Marginal marine depositional systems exhibit stratigraphic reservoir compartmentalization potential at three hierarchical scales. At each of these scales, stratigraphic compartmentalization potential can be related to the dominant depositional processes and accommodation:coarse sediment supply ratio (A/S) that are acting at the time of deposition. All three orders of compartmentalization potential must be considered in order to define optimal field development plans and completion strategies. The lowest order of compartmentalization is usually at the inter-parasequence scale. The parasequence is represented by a conformable succession of strata separated by marine flooding surfaces and as such it generally defines the basic flow unit in marginal marine systems. In systems tracts associated with relatively high A/S ratios, for example late Lowstand, Transgressive and early Highstand (steeply rising shoreline trajectories), vertical compartmentalization potential is relatively high because of the enhanced preservation potential of flooding surface shales under these conditions. In systems tracts associated with relatively low A/S ratios, for example late Highstand, Falling-stage and early Lowstand (flat, slightly rising and falling shoreline trajectories), vertical compartmentalization potential of parasequences is reduced because the potential for erosion of flooding surface shales by overlying deposits is high and hence potential for vertical sand-sand contact between parasequences is enhanced. The second level of compartmentalization hierarchy is the inter sand-body scale. Individual sand bodies are defined within parasequences. The lateral connectivity of these sand bodies is a product of the dominant depositional processes active at the time of their deposition (wave, tidal, fluvial). Wave-dominated systems tend to produce more laterally continuous sand bodies, fluvial-dominated systems more laterally restricted sand bodies and tide-dominated systems both laterally continuous and laterally restricted sand bodies. Vertical compartmentalization potential of these reservoir sand bodies is related to A/S regime. In high A/S regimes, sand bodies are more likely to be disconnected or compartmentalized. In low A/S regimes, erosional amalgamation of sand bodies is more likely thereby leading to lower compartmentalization potential. The third order of potential stratigraphic compartmentalization is the intra sand-body scale. This scale is represented by intra sand-body heterogeneities such as dipping or horizontal shales, carbonaceous-rich beds or laminae, shale abandonment plugs of channels and carbonate concretions. In high A/S regimes the preservation potential of these heterogeneities is relatively high leading to an enhanced potential for intra sand-body compartmentalization. Lower A/S regimes result in a greater likelihood of lateral and vertical erosion of these heterogeneities leading to a higher potential for reservoir connectivity.

    Description: 〈span〉〈div〉ABSTRACT〈/div〉Sequence stratigraphy based on wire-line logs, cores, and outcrops is entering its fourth decade of mainstream usage in industry and academia. The technique has proved to be an invaluable tool for improving stratigraphic analyses in both clastic and carbonate settings. Here we present a simple quantitative technique to support sequence stratigraphic interpretations in clastic shallow marine systems. The technique uses two pieces of data that are readily available from every subsurface field or outcrop study: (1) parasequence thickness (T) and (2) parasequence sandstone fraction (SF). The key assumptions are that parasequence thickness can be used as a proxy for accommodation at the time of deposition and parasequence sandstone fraction can be used as a proxy for sediment supply. This means that quantitative proxies for rates of accommodation development and sediment supply can be acquired from wire-line logs, cores, and outcrop data. Vertical trends in parasequence thickness divided by sandstone fraction (T/SF) approximate trends expected in systems tracts for changes in ratios of rate of accommodation development to rate of sediment supply. The technique, termed “TSF analysis,” can also be applied at lower-order sequence and composite sequence scales. It provides a quantitative and objective methodology for determining rank and order of sequence stratigraphic surfaces and units. Absolute T/SF values can be used to determine shoreline, stacked shoreline, and shelf-margin trajectories. Four case studies are presented, which demonstrate the robustness of the technique across a range of different data sets. Implications and potential future applications of TSF analyses are discussed.〈/span〉

    Description: We present observations of three active sites of star formation in the Taurus molecular cloud complex taken at 323 and 608 MHz (90 and 50 cm, respectively) with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). Three pointings were observed as part of a pathfinder project, targeted at the young stellar objects (YSOs) L1551 IRS 5, T Tau and DG Tau (the results for these target sources were presented in a previous paper). In this paper, we search for other YSOs and present a survey comprising of all three fields; a by-product of the large instantaneous field of view of the GMRT. The resolution of the survey is of order 10 arcsec and the best rms noise at the centre of each pointing is of order 100 μJy beam –1 at 323 MHz and 50 μJy beam –1 at 608 MHz. We present a catalogue of 1815 and 687 field sources detected above 5 rms at 323 and 608 MHz, respectively. A total of 440 sources were detected at both frequencies, corresponding to a total unique source count of 2062 sources. We compare the results with previous surveys and showcase a sample of extended extragalactic objects. Although no further YSOs were detected in addition to the target YSOs based on our source-finding criteria, these data can be useful for targeted manual searches, studies of radio galaxies or to assist in the calibration of future observations with the Low-Frequency Array towards these regions.

    Description: The monsoonal Mitchell River delta and megafan shows minimal anthropogenic disturbance and thus provides a unique opportunity to examine the autogenic and allogenic controls on the evolution of deltas and fluvial megafans. Detailed mapping, vibracoring, trenching and topographic surveying were used to characterize the palaeodistributary channel belts on the megafan and the depositional elements that comprise the delta. Chronological analyses of these data facilitated the reconstruction of the megafan and delta evolution and enabled the identification of discrete periods of delta progradation within the last 6000 years. These results indicate that sediment distribution is controlled primarily by two types of avulsion: (1) delta avulsions, which are frequent (〉16/1000 years), typically backwater-mediated and associated with local shifts in sedimentation loci; and (2) megafan avulsions, which are less frequent (〉3/1000 years), but which are also associated with more significant shifts in depositional loci. These links between megafan and delta processes and geomorphology in the Mitchell River region were integrated to develop a new model of channel belt facies associated with fluvial ( F ), fluvial backwater-affected ( F BW ), fluvial-dominated, tide-influenced (Ft) and tide-dominated, fluvial-influenced (Tf) channels. This model enables improved predictions of channel belt composition in modern and ancient marginal-marine systems by providing sedimentological and ichnological criteria for distinguishing between channel types.

    Description: A bstract :  Tide-dominated and tide-influenced clastic depositional environments are typically interpreted to be associated with landward-stepping or transgressive systems. Here, we present an example of an overall regressive succession dominated by high-frequency sequences that exhibit abundant sedimentary and ichnological evidence of tidal processes. These strata comprise the Campanian Bearpaw–Horseshoe Canyon Formation transition exposed near Drumheller, Alberta, Canada. The clastic marine to marginal-marine sediments were deposited in mixed-process (wave-, tide-, and fluvial-influenced) depositional environments along the western margin of a foreland basin. The deposits are subdivided into six relatively thin (10 m on average), high-frequency (~ 140,000 years), transgressive–regressive (T-R) sequences (A to F). Outcrop sedimentary logs and hand-held gamma-ray profiles were correlated to subsurface data (4 cored wells and 75 wells with wireline logs) within an area of 22 km x 16 km in order to generate a 3D geocellular computer model. This model along with paleocurrent data from outcrop were used to analyze the stratigraphic architecture and evolution of the succession. The evolution of the successive T-R sequences was mapped on a subregional scale using the 3D geocellular model. The orientations of the paleoshorelines rotate in a predictable manner during transgression and regression. Transgressive shorelines are oriented approximately S–N and rotate clockwise during regression to approximately SW–NE. The rotations are attributed to the paleogeography of the region, with the study area interpreted to sit on the western flank of a large structurally controlled embayment. The progradational high-frequency sequence set is dominated by tide-influenced strata and clearly demonstrates that tidal deposits can be preserved in both regressive as well as transgressive successions. Tidal influence in this regressive setting is attributed to shallow water depths on a wide shelf, which resulted in amplification of the tidal wave as it moved across the shelf. The embayed character of the coastline may also have augmented this effect. Tidal range is estimated to have been mesotidal to macrotidal. A modern partial analogue for the Horseshoe Canyon systems is identified from the tropical Mitchell River Delta in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland, Australia. This delta system is analogous in terms of its tide-influenced facies, mesotidal range, low-gradient shelf with accompanying shallow water depths, the mixed-process character of its shoreline systems, and its horizontal to falling shoreline trajectory.
