Microseismic Event Analysis From the Earnest Stocker 4H & 5H Wells Seismic Analysis Group January 2011

Topics Background for the Earnest Stocker Project Objectives Experiment setup Summarize a Few Results from Microseismic Events Look at relationship of Estimated Stimulated Volume to geology Stimulation modeling New processing in progress Outline the Way Forward

The Earnest Stocker Experiment 4D seismic differences are capable of detecting very small changes in timing and amplitude caused by production at Ekofisk, can it help us see the propped portion of the frac’s? What can be learned about microseismic monitoring by comparing these various geophysical measurements? How do they compare to treatment-derived estimates of the frac’s? Vert. Monitor wells Shallow wells Earnest Stocker #4 & 5H wells 4D Active Surface Seismic 4D Active VSP (2 vertical wells) 4D Shallow monitor wells (four) Borehole microseismic monitoring 17 stages, 80 levels total Surface microseismic monitoring 17 stages, about 4000 receivers

Geology in the Nearby Vertical Wells The carbonates seen in the ES#3 have been variously called the Stocker Fan, the Lime Wash, or F-carbonate. Wavelet Classification w. Coherency. Anastasia Mironova

Geologic Setting Upper surface is Top Marble Falls; lower is Viola Ls. 4H stage4 (orange) and 4H stage6 (blue) MS events and perf’s along the treatment wellbore near a geologic boundary as shown by the wavelet classification from 3D seismic mapped onto the Viola surface. Gamma ray logs from vertical wells show more carbonate layers (i.e., frac barriers) lying above the perforated interval on the left side of the image.

MS Focus for 2011 Understanding uncertainty and how to deal with less than perfect event sets. Compare acquisition and location methods: One well vs. two wells 8 phones vs. 40 phones Migration vs. grid search Surface monitoring vs. downhole Reconcile microseismic results with: 4D anomalies Stimulation models Geomechanics / stresses Petrophysical, Pressure, Treatment, and Production data Provide Guidance to Business Units regarding use of MS monitoring: Best practices QC measures Recommendations for dealing with uncertainty
