Anticline and Syncline Structural and Stratigraphic trap
Define: Fault, Joint
Fault: a fracture with a displacement Joint: a fracture without displacement
Give short note about
Lag time: the time mud takes from mud tanks to surface
Mud Circulation: the way mud takes from mud tanks
through flow lines, pipes, then go back again to mud tanks
Mud logging unit: a unit servicing mud logging
operations Define the following Formation: a stratigraphic unit characterized by limited geologic age and known by lithology and fossil content
Unconformity: a gap in time in the stratigraphic column
which is resulted either due to erosion or non-deposition Index fossil: a special type of fossil characterized by high areal extent and limited geologic age. It is used in determining age of a formation and correlation
Sequence: a group of strata that is characterized by an
unconformity below and above
% Total porosity: the volume of rock that is pore space
measured
Effective porosity: the volume of rock that is connected
pores
Permeability: the ability of rock to conduct fluid
measured by mdarcy
Mobility: the ability of fluids to move through
connected pores
Wettability: the ability of rock to adhere water
molecules
Cement: a precipitated chemical material between rock
grains calcite
( Matrix: a detrital material between rock grains (clay,
mud
Reservoir rock: a rock characterized by enough
porosity and permeability to storage and produce hydrocarbons
Seal: a rock characterized by very or zero permeability
and high ductility that it can prevent fluids from migration True dip: the angle of dip that is measured in a direction normal to the strike line
Apparent dip: the angle of dip that is measured in a
direction other normal to the strike line
Hydrocarbon: a chemical compound composed mainly
of Hydrogen and Carbon
Moveable water: free water moving in pores between
grains Connate water: or restricted water which is deposited during rock deposition and associated with irreducible reservoirs
Mention factors controlling porosity
Packing, overburden pressure, cement, matrix
Mention factors controlling rock permeability
Shale volume, connected porosity, tortousity
(Choose the correct answer: (right answer in blue
color Shale has (High- Low) effective porosity and very (High- Low) permeability
High gamma ray response in front of a zone preliminary
indicates (the zone is (clean- shaly- not enough information
If Anhydrite is present in a Lime stone formation, the
apparent density limestone porosity will be (too low- too high- the same- not enough (information
Resistivity of a solution is directly proportional to its
salinity (true false
( SP log could be used to calculate shale volume (true-
false
- Hydrocarbon properties depend on ( its composition-
reservoir conditions- not enough information What do you know about Clysmic fault: a rift at the eastern part of the Gulf of Suez. Clysmic faulting was initiated in Oligocene and continued into Post Miocene time
Attic oil: residual oil which can not be extracted from a
reservoir Oil water contact: the contact line between oil and water in a reservoir Transition zone: in a reservoir it is found between oil and water, gas and oil, and between invaded and un-invaded zone (intermediate zone) in structural geology it is defined as a deformed zone between two undeformed zones
Define the trap
A trap is a geological phenomenon based on structure, lithology and its a ability to capture or trap oil
What is the rock name that has the following
chemical composition Ca So4 Anhydrite CaCo3 Limestone CaSo4. 2H2o Gypsum Ca Mg (Co3)2 Dolomite Na Cl Halite
