Abstract Porosities, calculated from wireline density logs, decrease from 33% to 30% over a vertical depth range of 1200 feet in the J3 sand of the Bullwinkle Field (GC65), Deepwater Gulf of Mexico. This 10% decrease in porosity results in a 58% decline in permeability (3.3 to 1.4 darcies). The spatial variation in porosity results in a 75% decrease in acoustic reflectivity over a depth range of only 500 feet. The decrease in porosity with depth is interpreted to result from compaction over geological time scales, which results from higher in-situ stresses at the reservoir low points than at the highpoints. The study provides an approach to predict the spatial variation of porosity and permeability expected in a homogenous, isotropic, and compressible reservoir. These rock properties are important parameters for reservoir simulation. The acoustic results imply that the reservoir will be imaged differently due to in-situ stress conditions alone and independent of changes in lithology or pore fluid. Introduction The Bullwinkle oil field is located on the western flank of a circular salt-withdrawal mini-basin on the slope of the Gulf of Mexico, approximately 150 miles to the southwest of New Orleans, Louisiana (Figure 1). The mini-basin is primarily located in Green Canyon blocks 65 and 109, in approximately 1350 ft. water depth (412 m). Holman and Roberston 1 and O Connell et al. 2 describe the Bullwinkle field; Kikani and Smith 3 describe the Rocky field which lies on the southeastern margin of the mini-basin. The J sands are of early Nebraskan (3.35 Ma) age and host the majority of the reserves at Bullwinkle. 1 The 5 sands (J0-J4) are bowl-shaped interconnected channel and sheet turbidite sands that are interbedded with debris flow deposits and shales, and overlain by a thick section (500 ft.) of bathyal shales. The top of the section is characterized by multiple erosional unconformities, suggesting a period of sediment bypass in the basin. 1 Pressure drawdown at each well followed the same depletion curve, indicating that all the sands are in pressure communication. 1,3 The J3 sand is located on the western flank of the minibasin (Figure 2). It is very fine- to fine-grained and has a blocky log character (Figure 3). The lithology and the grain size are relatively homogenous across the field. It is interpreted to be a ponded, internally amalgamated, sheet sand. 1 There is a small oil and gas pool at its crest, while the majority of it is brine saturated (Figure 2). It has been penetrated by 23 wells. Porosity Analyis in the J3 Sand Whole core was taken in the J3 sand at the A-32-BP, which is beneath the J3 oil-water contact (Figure 2). In this well, density porosities (DPHI) correlate with whole core porosities when a fluid density of 1.05 g/cc and a grain density of 2.65 g/cc are assumed (Figure 4). We interpret that 1.05 g/cc is the density of the pore fluid measured by the bulk density tool in the water-saturated portion of the J3. This is less than the brine density that is estimated from the measured salinity (200,000 ppm) to be 1.18 g/cc at reservoir conditions (160 F and 8400 psi). The lower density for the formation fluid is most likely due to invasion of the filtrate into the formation. Representative values for J3 sand wireline neutron porosity (NPHI) and wireline density porosity (DPHI) were determined by taking average values wherever the shale content was less than 10%. The neutron porosity declines linearly with depth from 0.36 at the highest penetration to as low as 0.30 at the lowest penetration (Figure 5). Beneath the oil-water contact, the neutron porosity is generally one or two porosity units greater than the density porosity calculated with a fluid density of 1.05g/cc. We infer that this results from some clay being present in the sand. Above the oil-water contact, the density porosity (assuming ρ f = 1.05 g/cc) jumps abruptly to values that approximately equal the neutron porosity (Figure 5). We attribute the high values of density porosity above the oil-
2 2 P.B. FLEMINGS, J. COMISKY, X. LIU, J.A. LUPA OTC water contact to result from an overestimate of fluid density. To correct for this effect, we developed a correlation between the neutron porosity and the density porosity beneath the oilwater contact (Figure 6, dashed line). We then modified the fluid density above the oil water contact to match this trend (Figure 6, solid line). A value of ρ f = 0.94g/cc successfully reproduced the NPHI-DPHI correlation observed beneath the oil water contact (Figure 6). The true pore fluid density calculated from known oil density (0.68 g/cc) and brine density (1.28 g/cc) and water saturation (0.12) is 0.74 g/cc. The higher density of 0.94 g/cc recorded by the density log is most likely due to invasion of the filtrate into the formation. Lighter oils and gas have an effect on the NPHI reading because they have a lower hydrogen concentration than water. This effect can be considered using empirical corrections that adjust the NPHI reading by an amount NPHI 4. We have calculated an upper bound of NPHI = 0.5 porosity units for neutron porosity measurements in the oil leg. We did not use this relatively insignificant correction to the NPHI data in Figure 6. Accounting for this effect would make the change in porosity with depth even greater than what we estimate here. The final porosity predictions are illustrated in Figure 5 and Table 1. The porosity of the J3 sand declines from approximately 33% to 30% over a vertical depth of 1200 feet. This remarkable change in porosity with depth has significant implications for a range of processes. Porosity and Permeability Distribution in the J3 Sand The porosity distribution is contoured across the J3 sand (Figure 7). As expected, high porosities correlate with structural highs (compare Figure 7 and Figure 2). Measurements of permeability vs. porosity in one of the J sands (Figure 8) indicate an exponential relationship between porosity and permeability: log K = 12.8Φ 0.7 Eq. 1 Thus, while porosity decreases from 33% to 30% (10%), permeability decreases from 3.3 to 1.4 darcies (58%) (Figure 9). Ostermeier 5,6,7 documented that the reduction in permeability is typically 4 to 5 times greater than that in porosity in deepwater turbidites of the Gulf of Mexico. Compressibility Derived From Deformation Experiments and Wireline Logs Pore pressures in the J3 sand are overpressured and reach 80% of the overburden stress (S v ) (Figure 10). The vertical effective stress (σ v =S v P) is a measure of the stress the rock frame is under. This stress increases with depth in the reservoir because the fluid pressure gradient is lower than the overburden gradient (Figure 10). At the crest of the J3 sand, σ v is 1155 psi less than at the low point of the sand (Figure 10). a pore compressibility, C p : p = V V 1 Φ = σ Φ(1 Φ) σ 1 p C Eq. 2 and a bulk compressibility, C b : b V p V 1 Φ = σ (1 Φ) σ 1 b C Eq. 3 b are calculated from the log-based porosities (Figure 11, Table 1) and the vertical effective stress in the sand (Figure 10). The resulting value of C b and C p are 85 x 10-6 psi -1 and 283 x 10-6 psi -1, respectively. Pore compressibilities of the J sand that are derived from laboratory deformation vary as a function of stress state and range from 30 x 10-6 psi -1 to 75 x 10-6 psi -1 (Figure 12). Thus, the lab-derived compressibilities are one order of magnitude less than the log-derived compressibilities. It is not uncommon for lab-derived compressibilities performed over short time-scales to be significantly smaller than observed porosity-stress relationships observed in sedimentary basins. 8 Most likely there is time-dependent creep that occurs over geologic timescales that results in these different apparent compressibilities 9. The in-situ vertical effective stress for this sample is 2310 psi, which is 500 to 1000 psi lower than the isostatic stresses where the sample exhibits strain-softening 5,6 (increasing compressibility) (Figure 12). Ostermeier presented a possible mechanism for the stress-dependent compressibilities that are observed. Significance We propose that the decline in porosity with depth is due to the increase in effective stress that occurs with depth in the J3 sand (Figure 13). In this simple mechanical model, the bulk rock is envisioned as a spring that is more compressed at its deeper end where the overburden and the effective stress are greatest. In contrast, at the crest of the reservoir, the overburden and effective stresses are lowest and the rock is least compacted. As in any dipping permeable body, this results from the fact that the pore fluid pressure gradient is less than the overburden gradient (Figure 13). The decline in porosity and permeability is interpreted to result from the changing stress state in the reservoir and not because of lithologic change (e.g. composition, size, or sorting). The model can be used to predict the spatial variation of porosity and permeability in highly compressible deepwater turbidite sands where limited data are available. In general, the porosity and permeability will be highest at the reservoir crests and that these properties will decline in deeper parts of the sand. A better understanding of these reservoir properties may allow more accurate predictions of reserves, strengthen reservoir models, and assist exploitation decisions.
3 OTC STRESS-CONTROLLED POROSITY IN OVERPRESSURED SANDS AT BULLWINKLE (GC65), DEEPWATER GOM 3 Ultimately, it may be possible to relate wireline estimates of compressibility to the compressibility that will be present during reservoir production. This is potentially important because compaction is an important control on reservoir drive and a better understanding of this parameter may allow better exploitation decisions. The observation that experimental compressibilities are one order of magnitude less than the compressibilities observed in wireline data is not uncommon 8. We interpret that over geologic timescales there is greater strain than over experimental timescales. 5 One of the most striking features of the change in porosity with depth is the degree to which acoustic reflectivity is affected (Figure 14). Beneath the oil-water contact, the impedance in the J3 sand declines 12% and the reflectivity declines 84% over a depth range of only 500 ft. This remarkable decline in reflectivity implies that seismic images of dipping sand bodies will show sharp changes that parallel structure independent of changes in lithology or pore fluid composition. Conclusions Porosities decrease from 33% to 30% over a vertical depth range of 1200 feet in the J3 sand of the Bullwinkle Field (GC 65). This 10% decrease in porosity results in a 58% decline in permeability (3.3 to 1.4 darcies). The decrease in porosity results in a 75% decrease in acoustic reflectivity. The decrease in porosity with depth is interpreted to result from compaction over geological time scales resulting from higher in-situ stresses at the reservoir low points than at the highpoints. The study provides a methodology to predict the spatial variation of porosity and permeability in a dipping, isotropic, and compressible reservoir.
