Part of this is likely due to the fact that after extraction of oils and gases, they will often fill the emptied wells with water to displace/repace the oil and gases extracted. Water in geological cavern has more 'resonance' than the oils and gases that were replaced (different density). Rings like a bell. It's basic resonant physics.

“The first two [SM Energy Company] Klondike wells had an average lateral length of approximately 11,500 feet. Completion of the eight wells confirmed oil-saturated sandstone and the conventional nature of the play, in line with the company's geologic modeling. (. . .) “ ‘The first two wells averaged 918 barrels of oil equivalent per well at a very high 93% oil cut. We are pleased to see early results coming in a little stronger than our acquisition model,’ officials said during the call.” ● “Dean Formation, Permian Basin,” UT Austin Gulf Coast Carbon Center: LINK: https://lnkd.in/gqAi9tKC “The Leonardian Dean Formation in the Permian Basin is a major oil producer. Together with the overlying Spraberry Formation in what is known as the Spraberry Trend, the two contain more than 10 Bbbl of oil as of 2010 (Bureau of Economic Geology, n.d.). “The name ‘Dean Sandstone’ was first applied to a sandstone found in the Gulf Oil Corporation’s Dean No. 1 samples from 7,990 to 8,190 feet (McLennan and Bradley, 1951). “The Dean Formation has a similar depositional history to the overlying Spraberry Formation, both co-located in a submarine fan system (Tyler et al., 1997), resulting from channelized flow and suspension settling (Handford 1981). Both formations can be divided into three genetic sequences, each with several hundred feet of interbedded shale and carbonate overlain by sandstone and silts of roughly equal thickness (Handford, 1981). “The terrigenous clastics that compromise the formations can be divided into four lithofacies of which descriptions can be found in Handford (1981). The various characteristics of these rocks suggest deposition from turbidity currents, and saline density under-and inter-flow currents. Though the Dean Formation has thick sand units, the formation is generally heterogeneous with low permeabilities, both of which will have to be taken into account when considering the formation for carbon storage.” #energy #energyindustry #oil #oilindustry #oilgas #oilandgas #natgas #naturalgas #shale #shaleoil #shalegas #permian #permianbasin #deanformation #deanshale #texas #texaseconomy #hydrocarbons #geology #geologist #petroleum #petroleumengineering #energystrong https://lnkd.in/gYVXutKX

Significant Gas Play Potential in South Nicholson Basin ✅   We are pleased to share the preliminary results from our geophysical and geological evaluation of Exploration Permit (EP) 144 in the South Nicholson Basin, Northern Territory.   Highlights: - Identified significant gas play fairway (~3,500 km²) on EP 144. - NDI Carrara-1 well, 3.5km east of EP144, intercepted multiple source rock intervals with TOC up to 5.5%. - Proximity to Northern Gas Pipeline, connecting to Mt Isa and the East Coast gas market. - Indications of Hydrogen (up to 27%) and Helium presence from NDI Carrara-1 well. - 100% interest in EP144, the only granted permit in the South Nicholson Basin, NT. - Low-cost near-term program to prove source rocks and sample Helium and Hydrogen.   Our Managing Director, Oliver Oxenbridge commented, “Our initial work on the potential of EP 144 has delivered exciting outcomes. Our interpretation of the GA seismic lines indicates high probability of key source rock formations extending well into our acreage. When overlaid with the results from the Carrara-1 stratigraphic well, the potential for a highly prospective unconventional gas play fairway on EP 144 is readily evident. This is complemented further by Helium and Hydrogen potential also indicated across the basin. We now plan to refine our near-term work program for EP 144, which is expected to include further geophysical analysis, soil gas sampling, and targeted stratigraphic drilling.”   Stay tuned for more updates as we advance this promising project!   Read the full announcement here ➡️https://bit.ly/466EJLB   #TopEndEnergy #TEE #NaturalGas #Hydrogen #Helium #NTExploration #EnergySector 

Hydrogen storage possibilities in the San Joaquin Basin oil fields, California, using Geoff Gallant's subsurface mapping, available at our website cart: https://lnkd.in/gvat4Hcp S. Mao et al., at the Los Alamos National Laboratory just published: Strategies for hydrogen storage in a depleted sandstone reservoir from the San Joaquin Basin, California (USA) based on high-fidelity numerical simulations, free pdf here: https://lnkd.in/gnTpQ4XX Article addresses two primary objectives: "(a) to assess the feasibility of two distinct UHS (Underground Hydrogen Storage) strategies—one that involves storing H2 across all sand layers and another that stores an equal amount of H2 in the single thickest sand layer, and (b) to evaluate the effect of interbedded shale permeability on UHS performance...The impact of interbedded shale permeability on UHS performance is negligible across the range of uncertainty for shale permeability. This research not only lays the groundwork for potential UHS implementation in the abundant sandstones of the San Joaquin Basin of California, but also offers valuable insights for other depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs under consideration for UHS that share similar properties." #hydrogen #hydrogenstorage #subsurfacemapping #drilling #naturalgas #oilproduction #energyindustry #petroleum #petroleumindustry #oilfield #petroleumengineering #reservoirengineering #oilandgascompanies #carbonstorage #carboncapture #hydrogeneconomy #oil #oilandgas #oilandgasindustry #California #SanJoaquin #kerncounty #oilandgasexploration #Kern Pacific Section AAPG New Orleans Geological Society Houston Geological Society DALLAS GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY API - American Petroleum Institute Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists Oklahoma City Geological Society Fort Worth Geological Society (FWGS) EAGE (European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers) San Joaquin Geological Society SJGS #energystrong California Resources Corporation Aera Energy LLC Chevron ExxonMobil Berry Oil Crimson Resource Management Corp American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) ConocoPhillips Richard Chapman Mike Umbro Kurt Neher Kristy Whitaker, PhD Californians for Energy & Science

Moosetooth Geological Consulting has been recognized as one of the Top Energy Consulting Providers by Energy Business Review. Moosetooth provide seismic interpretation services if the data is available or desired by the client. Seismic volumes enhance the clarity of the subsurface in several ways and are often an important element to the success of a project. Moosetooth generates synthetic seismograms to accurately tie seismic reflections to their proper geologic interval. The data is then interpreted with horizons and faults, which helps pinpoint potential hydrocarbon traps and guides the selection of future drilling locations. “Evaluating organic shale is like cooking a steak—if it’s ‘cooked’ to the right level, say medium-rare or medium, it hits the sweet spot for generating hydrocarbons in an unconventional petroleum system. If the source rock is ‘undercooked,’ it’s not yet ready to produce, which is valuable information for our clients to have early on. This way, they know exactly when and how to capitalize on their resources,” says Maurits Thayer, President. The article will also be featured in the forthcoming special print edition of Energy Consulting 2024.

Geomechanics: Understanding and Anticipating Induced Seismicity 👉 Many industrial activities that alter the state of stress or the pore pressure within the Earth’s crust can, in principle, induce earthquakes, although most do not. 👉As a general rule, the deeper the activities are, the larger the stress alteration is, and the closer seismogenic faults are the more likely earthquakes are. 👉The most common operations causing induced seismicity are underground mining, water reservoir impoundment, oil and gas production (from both conventional and non-conventional resources), geothermal energy exploitation, waste water disposal, and and natural gas storage operations. 👉The largest number of induced seismic events at global scale have been related to mining operations while the largest induced events in terms of magnitude have so far been caused by water impoundment.

Short-term importance: 1. Exploration and prospecting: Seismic data is used to identify potential oil and gas reservoirs beneath the Earth's surface. It helps in locating the most promising areas for drilling. 2. Well planning: Seismic data is used to plan the location and trajectory of wells, helping to optimize drilling operations and increase the chances of successful extraction. 3. Reservoir characterization: Seismic data provides valuable information about the geological structure and properties of the reservoir, aiding in the development of effective extraction strategies. Long-term importance: 1. Field development: Seismic data guides the long-term development of oil and gas fields, helping to optimize production and maximize recovery. 2. Reservoir management: Seismic data is used to monitor changes in the reservoir over time, allowing for adjustments in production strategies to maintain optimal extraction rates. 3. Enhanced oil recovery (EOR): Seismic data can be used to identify opportunities for EOR techniques, which can increase the overall recovery of oil and gas from a reservoir. Overall, seismic data is essential for the efficient and effective exploration, development, and management of oil and gas resources, both in the short-term and long-term. #all #geologists #petroleumengineers #oilandgasceo #hr #drillingengineers #chemicalenguneers #europeandafrica #russiaoilandgas #usaoilandgas #chevron #shell #total #asiaoilandgas #ceo
