8 Triassic Gas Play Reservoir & Top-Seal L8-11 WELL Röt Fm. Solling Fm. Hardegsen Fm. Detfurth Volpriehausen Lower Bunter Claystone Fm. Volpriehausen Sandstone is main reservoir in study area Thickness: m Net/Gross: % Average porosity: 9-15 % Average permeability: md Depositional environment is continental under semi-arid conditions (eolian and fluvial sandstones with playa lake claystones) Röt Formation (with evaporites) is ultimate top seal In some cases Hardegsen or Volpriehausen Claystone can also be sealing Salt Tectonics Seminar, Stavanger 8
9 Triassic Gas Play Trapping Mechanisms & Charge Triassic structures are generally 4-way dip closures and gentle anticlines with only minor faulting, conformable with Top Salt Relying on windows through Salt for charge from Carboniferous coals Carboniferous mature at present day Salt Tectonics Seminar, Stavanger 9
10 Triassic Gas Play Reservoir Effectiveness Halite cement hardly visible on macro scale Dissolves in water-based drilling mud Often destroys all remaining porosity except micro-porosity in clay minerals Salt Tectonics Seminar, Stavanger 10
11 Statistical Investigation Possible causes for salt plugging in Triassic Authigenic cement present in sediments Infiltration from Röt Formation above Infiltration from Zechstein below Lateral invasion from pierced salt domes Precipitation from brine when uplifted (thermogenic) Combinations of all of the above Salt Tectonics Seminar, Stavanger 11

13 Seismic Attribute Analysis Lowest amplitude in lower time window minus the highest amplitude in upper time window: Normal porosity = = - 20 Salt plugged, good pick = = ~ 0 Salt plugged, wrong pick = = - 10 If porous and water/gas bearing, Top Volpriehausen is a peak, followed by a clear trough Presence of gas causes a brightening If salt-plugged, Top Volpriehausen is a trough, followed by a clear peak If a salt-plugged Volpriehausen is incorrectly picked, Top Volpriehausen is a clear peak, followed by low-amplitude events Supported by forward modelling Amplitude difference scaled to factor between 0 and Salt Tectonics Seminar, Stavanger 13
14 Seismic Attribute Analysis Scaled Amplitude Difference MB4 White circles indicate potential good reservoir Dashed circles indicate possible mediocre quality reservoir or areas with a wrong pick MB5 MB1 MB2 MB6 MB3 5 km MB7 SALT PLUGGED WELL POROUS WELL Salt Tectonics Seminar, Stavanger 14

16 Seismic Attribute Analysis Scaled Amplitude Difference L2-FA L5-FA L9-FC???? M7-A Salt Tectonics Seminar, Stavanger 16
17 Possible Mechanism SALT DOME Cooling effect of salt dome can lead to precipitation of salt from brine ~ 5 km High thermal conductivity of salt results in cooling effect near salt dome Lateral temperature differences of up to 6 ºC measured Cooling of saturated brine results in salt precipitation Modelling study in preparation Salt Tectonics Seminar, Stavanger 17
18 Conclusions Salt plugging in Triassic reservoirs occurs pervasively over large areas or in rims (0.5 2 km) around salt domes or former halokinetic structures (collapse grabens) Seismic attributes can help to identify areas of salt plugging and gas fill Salt cement was leached during the Early Cretaceous when the reservoir was close to the surface, probably by invasion of meteoric waters Salt Tectonics Seminar, Stavanger 18
19 Further Study Can salt cementation result in a lateral side-seal, creating stratigraphic traps? Apply this tool to identify Triassic gas fields in other areas Are there any low-porosity Triassic gas fields? Test the method on other plays Salt Tectonics Seminar, Stavanger 19
