2 Subsurface Characterisation The main goal of the oil-industry geoscience professional is to characterise the complete range of possible configurations of the subsurface for a given set of data and related analogues. This characterisation of the subsurface should lead to a comprehensive description of uncertainty that leads to the complete disclosure of the financial risk of further exploration, appraisal or development of a potential hydrocarbon resource.

11 Partial Derivative Analysis In mathematics, a partial derivative of a function of several variables is its derivative with respect to one of those variables, with the others held constant (as opposed to the total derivative, in which all variables are allowed to vary). Partial derivatives are used in vector calculus and differential geometry. The partial derivative of a function f with respect to the variable x is variously denoted by The partial-derivative symbol is. The notation was introduced by Adrien-Marie Legendre and gained general acceptance after its reintroduction by Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi.
12 Partial Derivative Analysis Example Volume of a cone is: The partial derivative of the volume with respect to the radius is Which describes the rate at which the volume changes with change in radius if the height is kept constant.

24 Bayesian Analysis For Reliability Bayes allows modified probabilities to be calculated based on 1. The expected rate of occurrence in nature. A diagnostic test that is less than 100% reliable For example There is a 1:10,000 (0.0001%) occurrence of a rare disease in the population There is a single test of the disease that is 99.99% accurate A patient is tested positive for that disease What is the likelihood that the patient tested positive actually has the disease?
25 Bayesian Theory Bayes theory is the statistical method to revise probability based on a assessment from new information. This is Bayesian analysis. To set up the problem: Consider mutually collective and collectively exhaustive outcome (E1, E.En) A is the outcome of an information event, or a symptom related to E. If A is perfect information, Bayes theorem is NOT needed. ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( 1 A P E A P E P AE P E P AE P A E P i N j j j i i i

27 Using AVO to De-risk Exploration and The Impact of Diagnosis Reliability AVO Anomaly Information Our geophysicist has evaluated AVO anomalies and has assessed that: There is a 10% chance of geological success There is a 90% chance of seeing an AVO if there is a discovery There is a 0% chance of seeing a false anomaly if there is no discovery Question If we have a 10% COS based on the geological interpretation and an anomaly is observed, what is the revised COS if an AVO is observed What is the added value of AVO

30 AVO AVO Anomaly Question If we have a 10% COS based on the geological interpretation and an anomaly is observed, what is the revised COS if an AVO is observed What is the added value of AVO Answer based on Bayes is that if there is an AVO anomaly there is a 33% chance it is a discovery. Also we can calculate, if there in NO AVO anomaly then the chance it is a discovery is 1%/
31 Assessing Critical Porosity in Shallow Hole Sections Synopsis of SPE paper in press New technique for deriving porosity from sonic logs in oversize boreholes Sonic porosity used to determine of porosity is at critical porosity Critical porosity 4 to 45 p.u. If lower than critical porosity rock is load bearing Near or at critical porosity the rocks may have insufficient strength to contain the forces of shutting in the well Sonic porosity (using the new technique) is used to determine if rock is below critical porosity and used as part of the justification for NOT running a conductor
32 Case Study: Assessing Critical Porosity in Shallow Hole Sections LWD acoustic compression slowness below the drive pipe LWD sonic device optimised for large bore holes Data showed conclusive evidence of absence of hazards and were immediately accepted as waiver for running the diverter and conductor string of casing DTCO used to asses if rock consolidated (below critical porosity) Gives the resultant DTCO and porosity interpretation Raymer Hunt Gardner model with shale correction No mention of the reliability of the interpretation Processed DTCO accuracy Interpretation model uncertainty
33 Assessing Critical Porosity in Shallow Hole Sections Question What is the potential impact of tool accuracy and model uncertainty on the interpretation Should this be considered as part of the risk management for making the decision on running the conductor What is the reliability of the method and measurement for preventing the unnecessary running of diverter and conductor string of casing

41 Conclusions from Monte Carlo The model processed DTCO and model uncertainty leads to significant doubt that the rock is below critical porosity The most important considerations are: The clay volume and clay correction The actual porosity value for critical porosity (0.41 to 0.45) Tool Accuracy is not a concern (+/- 5 usec/ft) A good question to ask is what is the tool accuracy given the new processing technique and challenges of running sonic in big bore-holes?
42 Bayesian Analysis of Reliability Lets assume that the regional data shows that the 90% of all top hole sections will be below CP and stable Based on Monte-Carlo it is judged that the interpretation will be 80% reliable 1 Below CP 90% Sonic Log Shows Below C P Sonic Log Shows AboveC P 80% % % % 0.00 Well Bore Stability 0.00 Above CP 10% Sonic Log Shows Above CP Sonic Log Shows Below C P 80% % % 0.00 % 0.00

What is the value of the sonic? % Wells below CP regionally 0.6 Reliability of the log 0.8 "BCP" "ACP" BCP ACP If Log shows BCP 0.86 If Log Shows ACP 0.73 If the sonic log shows below CP there is an 86% chance it is really below CP
46 Reliability of Diagnosis Chart 1.0 Probability that Interval is Below CP Log Diagnostic Reliability Regional Data % of well above Below Cp
47 Conclusions From Reliability Analysis If the Sonic is 100% reliable as a diagnosis of the well being above or below CP then the log data then we can be sure the interval is above/below CP If the Sonic log is not 100% reliable then we need to take into account Regional data trends Reliability of the Sonic log If we believe that the sonic log is less than 100% diagnostic then there is always a risk that the well will be above CP, even if the log data shows otherwise.
48 Conclusions The most important task of the geoscientist is to make statements about Range of possible subsurface outcomes based on: Uncertainty Diagnostic reliability of data There are several ways to analyse the range of outcomes based on uncertain input parameters Single parameter sensitivity Partial derivative analysis Monte-Carlo simulation Bayes analysis for diagnostic reliability The results of uncertainty and reliability analysis can be counter intuitive
