What is a Geoexpert
Source rock:
organic rick rocks, often shale, that through maturation (increasing temperature) can
generate hydrocarbon
Formed in low energy, anoxic conditions (lacustrine, delta, swamp)
Reservoir:
porous rocks that can contain hydrocarbon, and allow HC to move
Often formed in higher energy conditions (channel, delta, turbidite), or formed by
tectonic (fracturing) and diagenesis processes (dissolution in carbonate)
Seal:
Low permeability rocks that can hold back HC
Top seal (cap) and lateral seal (fault seal)
Trap:
Structural trap
Stratigraphic trap

KAl3Si3O10(OH)1.8F0.2
Contain K -> higher Gamma ray values
High density (2.81 g/cc) -> higher density log values
Contain H -> higher neutron log values

Wave-Tide-River
dominated
Wave dominated: formations of
sand bars parallel to coastline
Tide dominated: tidal inlets and
sand bars perpendicular to
coastline
River dominated: lobe shape
sand bodies
Using well-tie.
Continuity of reflector depends on:
Characteristics of the reservoir (shorefaces have higher continuity than
channels)
Fault system.
Well Ties
Why we convert
We need to work with depth (well data, structural maps, BRV
calculation)
Seismic time data is distorted due to difference in seismic velocity
