    • Seal - Rock, no perm, cant pass through
  83. What is difference bw Fault and fold?
    Fold comes from ripping the rock apart, and fold comes from compression overtime
  84. Difference bw Carbonate vs claustic
    Carbonate is very well sorted, and claustic has decreased perm due to poorly sorted

    • Carbonate - Reef
    • Claustic - River fishing
  85. How is a vug made?

    15
  91. How could u see a water wet zone? and what is an example of one
    High poro, low res - carbonates and sands are water wet before they come into contact with crude oil
  92. How to tell if there are HC in well?
    High poro, high res, clean
  93. What is CMRs main product?
    Pore size distribution

    Lg pore size is better than small
  94. How do you find archies (Sw) in a non clean zone?
    Find a clean zone on log and get Rt from there Rw = Rt. Then go back to zone of interest and find Rt and use the previous Rt for Rw. Cross plot porosity
  95. What does WCLP mean in ELAN?
    Wet clay porosity
  96. What is dual water model
    Swb= Poro(Wb)/Poro(Total)

    • This derivation of the Dual Water equations is valid for any rock with any mixture of fluids
    • It is possible to use the Dual Water Model to make a manual computation of a shaly zone.
    • However computer programs are best equipped to handle the calculations.
  97. What is effective saturation?
    • Sw that is in free fluids
    • Swf = poro (free water)/poro(effective)
  98. How would u calc using Dual water model?
    • Calc Rwf from RWA (Rwf = Rwa)
    • Calc Rwb from nearby shale using Rwa method
    • Get poro of cross plot
    • Determine Vs from Gr
    • Compute Swb from Vshale and WCLP
    • Calc Swt and Swf

    • Mechanical property - how fat will a marshmellow get if u squish it
    • Stress on a rock --> fractures
  100. How do we know anisotropy?
    • Times are different in slow and fast shear
    • Left to right is different form north to south
  101. What is anisotropy?
    Isotropy?
    • Directionally dependant (not the same)
    • Same in all directions
  102. what are 4 types of dispersion?
    • Homo Iso - Natural Rock
    • Homo Aniso - Fractures parallel
    • Inhomo Iso - damaged BH
    • Inhomo Aniso - Crossover stress induced
  103. Why are horizontal properties important and what wave can see these ?
    Bc its direction of max/min stress and stonely waves can due to flowing up the BH (vertical wave)
  104. Sonic scanner can correct for dispersion and so can DSI

    T or F?
    False, only SS can correct for it
  105. What 2 elements are as clay?
    Carbonate?
    • Illite and chlorite
    • Dolomite and calcite
  106. Why is ELAN present on sonic log
    need it to do mechanical properties bc static young modulus gives pressure needed to make fracture compress but wont grow back
  107. Why is ADT formation salinity independant?
    Interacts with water molecule only
  108. What do bins for CMR represent?
    8 of them and each a diff pore size
  109. What is a good percentage to perf at porosity wise?
    If effective poro is >8% then maybe
  110. ELAN density and ECS density, which one will be lower and why?
    ELAN density due to kerogen
  111. ELAN density higher than ECS dens when?
    When heavier minerals are there like Chlorine
  112. Whats life cycle of rock?
    Its like a crayone at the Igneous model and then more u use it the more i breaks down (Sedimentary), then melts down into ME rock, and back to IG
  113. What is diff bw Pay and Res flags?
    • RES just takes into account poto
    • Pay is perm, % HC, poro
