20 Estimating Saturation of Gas Hydrates (Sgh) with Prestack Seismic Data 20
21 How do we quantify GH using seismic data? Stratigraphic Analysis and Interpretation Seismic Data Processing and Conditioning Pre-Stack Waveform Inversion Simultaneous Inversion of pre-stack seismic data Rock Physics Modeling Saturation estimation through a Bayesian type approach (integrating rock modeling and seismic inversion) 21
22 Pre-stack gather example - AVO inversion input gas hydrates in porous sands - decrease in seismic amplitude with offset opposite to free gas in porous sands Vp 1 Vs 1 Density 1 Vp 2 Vs 2 Density 2 22
23 Conditioning pre-stack data inversion accuracy optimize the signal-to-noise provide the best quantitative measurement of the true AVO signature 23
24 Pre-Stack Waveform Inversion (PSWI) GC955 generate control logs in the zone of interest Vp Vs Density Zone of interest Blue curves derived pseudo logs (PSWI) Smooth black curves initial input models Red curves available logs 24
25 PSWI Quality Control best match and uncertainties (yellow) GC955 Vp PR Rho Real Synthetic 25 PSWI pseudo logs: Vp, Poisson s ratio, and density width of the yellow band corresponds to uncertainties
26 Wavelet analysis on multiple angles GC955 wavelets are stable overall small differences between angle offsets 26
27 Simultaneous Inversion Quality Control GC955 generate P-impedance and S-impedance Red curves: PSWI pseudo logs for comparison only Blue curves: inversion results at the well location Smooth green curves: input model 27 P Impedance S Impedance = P velocity x Density = S velocity x Density
28 Simultaneous Inversion - Impedance volumes GC955 P-impedance S-impedance 28
29 Rock Models and Responses Gas Hydrate Rock Models Model Responses (Dai et al., 2004) 29 Model 3 Supporting matrix/grain model--hydrates grow in the interior of the porous frame and support the overburden together with the grains. Data shown - Mallik 2L-38 well, Alaska. The M3 model matches GOM and other locations.
30 Rock Model - Sgh Trend Curves Sgh 0% 100% 30 P Impedance S Impedance 0% Sgh curve is based on: stratigraphic analysis and regional knowledge compaction trend tied to available logs below the zone of interest
31 Sgh volumes sand/shale model -GC955 Sgh (P-impedance) Sgh (S-impedance) 31
32 High resolution velocity analysis WR313 independent of amplitude analyses (e.g. Sgh estimation) Velocity analyses on spatially consistent horizons High frequency interval velocity dataset low velocities=blues, high velocities=pinks water bottom BGHS 32
33 Sgh - Random Line GC955 - (using shale-sand model) W N 100ms 33 Q well H well I well 300m
34 Sgh - Random Line WR313 W E BGHS 100ms 34 G well H well 100m
35 Sgh WR313 well G (using shale-sand model) NE SW 35 Sgh
36 Sgh WR313 well H (using shale-sand model) NE SW 36 GRW DT Sgh

38 Fracture analysis - Attribute vs. Ant track time slice Variance Ant track 38
39 Fault / Fracture analysis - Ant track 39 Gulf of Mexico example
40 Summary Gas hydrates are potentially: - significant resource for natural gas to the world - drilling/production hazard Occurrence of gas hydrates - polar regions of the earth - deep marine basins - in GOM, generally where water depths > 500m Seismic data can identify and estimate concentrations of gas hydrates - examples shown in WR313, GC955 - using pre-stack seismic data - high concentrations of hydrates were successfully predicted before 2009 JIP wells were drilled 40
41 Summary Methodology: an integrated five step approach - Stratigraphic analysis and interpretation provide geologic context improve probability of finding better reservoirs - Conditioning seismic gathers to ensure high quality AVO input data - PreStack Waveform Inversion - generate pseudo logs in the stability zone using Full Waveform Equation - 3D simultaneous prestack inversion generate Ip and Is volumes including Multi-offset Wavelet Analysis - Sgh quantification using rock physics models using Bayesian statistical inversion improves predictability provides a measure of uncertainty 41
42 Looking Forward Sgh quantification - calibration using new 2009 JIP well data will improve accuracy in the stability zone will improve identifying low to moderate saturations GC955 high Sgh values occur below the estimated BGHS horizon - understand these events - more hydrates or something else? (high resolution velocity analysis may help) WR313 fracture filled hydrate zones (opportunity) - a good mathematical model is needed - good imaging is needed (Ants technology may help) 42
