Daily Update - Mohammad Elkady - (June-27-2022)

1.  What did I do today?

Today, I collected some data about Wolfcamp and Bone spring formations in the Delaware Basin and chose a well to use it in the simulation.

2.  What did I find interesting/Work on? 

-       The well was chosen based on the availability of data.

Bone Spring Formation

-       In the Bone Spring formation, interval porosity for productive wells varies from 8% to 20% in the sand layers and from 1% to 4% in the mud layers,

-       The Bone Spring formation consists of interbedded siliciclastic, carbonate, and shale rocks of up to 4,000 feet.

-       Subsea depth of First Bone Spring in the Delaware Basin varies from 0 feet in the west to -6,000 feet in the eastern part of the basin in areas next to the Central Basin Platform

-       Thickness ranges from about 250 feet to more than 1,200 feet thick across the Delaware Basin, except in the northwest area, where the First Bone Spring is more than 2,000 feet thick

-       The subsea depth of Second Bone Spring in the Delaware Basin ranges from 0 feet in the west to -7,000 feet in the eastern part of the basin in areas next to the Central Basin Platform

-       The Second Bone Spring ranges from 250 feet to more than 1,000 feet thick

-       Subsea depth of Third Bone Spring in the Delaware Basin ranges from 0 feet in the west to -7,500 feet in the eastern part of the basin

-       Thickness ranges from about 200 feet to more than 1,200 feet thick across the Delaware Basin, except the northwest area and the area in the middle part of the basin next to the Central Basin Platform, where the First Bone Spring exceeds 2,000 feet and 1,000 feet thick, respectively

-        EIA’s analysis of the well log and productivity suggests the best reservoir quality corresponds

(1) to the Bone Spring areas with the following characteristics

o    Thickness is more than 1,000 feet

o    Subsea depth to the formation top is more than 1,500 feet

o    Neutron porosity ranges from 4.5% to 16.5%

o     Density ranges from 2.54 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3) to 2.70 g/cm3

o    Estimated total organic carbon ranges from 1.0% to 8.0%

o    Deep resistivity ranges from 15 ohmmeters to 75 ohmmeter

(2) and to the Avalon areas with the following characteristics

o    Thickness is more than 150 feet

o    Subsea depth to the formation top is more than 500 feet

o    Neutron porosity ranges from 4.0% to 17%

o     Density ranges from 2.52 g/cm3 to 2.70 g/cm3

o    Estimated total organic carbon ranges from 4.0% to 8.0%

o    Deep resistivity ranges from 15 ohmmeters to 75 ohmmeter

-         

Avalon

-       The subsea depth of Avalon in the Delaware Basin ranges from 0 feet in the west to -5,500 feet in the eastern part of the basin in areas next to the Central Basin Platform

-       The Avalon ranges from 50 feet to 500 feet thick

3.  What will I do next? 

I will continue collecting the required data for the geological model of the Delaware Basin.
