Anticline Hunting: Penerapan pertama kali secara ilmiah konsep geologi

dalam explorasi Migas.

Sterry Hunt 1861

Petroleum system: Penerapan konsep geologi paling mutakhir dalam

eksplorasi Migas

Dow, 1974 Oil System,

Perrodon 1980 Petroleum system

Anticline Hunting

Observasi :

1842: Sir William Logan menghubungkan terdapatnya rembesan

minyak dengan struktur antiklin di pulau Gaspe di

mulut sungai St lawrence Canada.

Observasi pertama yg menghubungkan terdapatnya minyak bumi dengan antiklin

1859: Kolonel William Drake membor minyak secara komersial

didekat rembesan. Awal industri migas

1860: Henry D rodgers Akumulasi minyak yang

ditemukan oleh William Drake terdapat pada sumbu antiklin

Page 4: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Anticline Hunting 1861: Sterry Hunt

Ceramah di Montreal Canada

Publikasi di „Montreal Gazette‟ The History of Petroleum

Andrews seorang Guru besar geologi Marrieta College

Menunjukkan keberadaan minyak dan gas sepanjang antiklin

Keduanya percaya bahwa akumulasi minyak pada

puncak antiklin adalah akibat retakan

Page 5: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Anticline Hunting Pendapat Logan, Rogers, Hunt, Andrews dan Winchel

sedikit sekali diperhatikan oleh perusahaan.

I.C White Geologist pertama yang medemonstrasikan kebenaran teori antiklin.

Teori antiklin diterima oleh ahli geologi di zaman itu

dan digunakan dalam pencarian minyak bumi Anticline Hunting

1897 : Pertamakali geologist dipekerjakan oleh perusahaan Migas (Southern Pacific Oil Company)

Page 6: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Anticline Hunting Pada awalnya konsep Antiklin cukup berhasil

Gabungan antara Rembesan dan Atiklin

Lama kelamaan kurang berhasil

Antiklin tanpa rembesan dibor juga

Pemikiran berkembang:

Kenapa ada antiklin yang menjadi tempat akumulasi minyak dan ada pula yang tidak ?

Page 7: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Batuan reservoir

Setelah diteliti ternyata antiklin yang mengandung minyak adalah antiklin yang terdapat batuan yang berpori

Lahirnya konsep batuan reservoir Konsep ini sebetulnya sudah mulai dikemukakan

oleh Alexander Wichel dari Michigan (1860) bahwa batupasir yang terdapat di antiklin cukup mempunyai pori untuk menyimpan minyak tetapi karena keberhasilkan konsep antiklin fenomena ini kurang diperhatikan.

Page 8: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Batuan reservoir

Lahirnya konsep batuan reservoir

Hanya antiklin yang mengandung batuan

reservoir yang dapat mengandung Minyak

Page 9: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Batuan Induk

Pemikiran batuan reservoir tersebut terus berkembang lebih lanjut karena adanya fakta bahwa Ada struktur antiklin

Tetapi antiklin tersebut setelah dibor tidak juga mengandung minyak

Apa penyebab kegagalan konsep tersebut ?

Lahirnya konsep batuan induk Perdebatan origin dari migas

Lebih lanjut Lahirnya konsep Petroleum system

Page 10: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Petroleum system

Sejarah Petroleum system Dow 1972, 1974 menerbitkan tulisan dalam

AAPG ; Oil-Oil, Oil-source rock correlation

Dapat memisah dan menghubungkan minyak

dalam reservoir tertentu dengan batuan sumber tertentu (source rock)

Oil system

Page 11: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Petroleum system

Perrodon 1980, 1983 Pertama kali menggunakan istilah Petroleum system tetapi dalam bahasa Perancis statement utamanya

adalah sebagai berikut: The geologic criteria governing the distribution of

pools, and in particular the combined presence of source rocks, reservoirs and seals, generally exhibit a certain geographic extension which is reflected by the formation of a family of pool or even better, a petroleum system, a structured set of natural elements of the same species or having the same function.

Page 12: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Petroleum system

Demaison 1984

Generative Basin:

Areas underlain by mature source rocks are called “petroleum generative depression” or “hydrocarbon kitchens”

A generative basin is define as a sedimentary basin that contain one or more petroleum generative depression

Page 13: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Petroleum system

Meissner et al 1984

Hydrocarbon Machine

Sequence which contain all of the elements involved in the process of hydrocarbon generation from source rock to consequent migration and accumulation constitute what may be termed natural geologic hydrocarbon machines.

Page 14: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Petroleum system

Ulsimek 1986

Independent Petroliferous system (IPS)

……….a body of rocks separated from surrounding rocks by regional barriers to lateral and vertical migration of fluid, including oil and gas. Stratigraphically an IPS is essentially homogeneous, it includes source rocks, reservoir rocks, traps and regional seal……………..

Page 15: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Petroleum system

Magoon 1987

The Petroleum system emphasizes the genetic relation between a particular source rock and resulting petroleum accumulation……..

Definisi Petroleum system

Mangoon and Dow (1994)

Natural system that encompasses pod of active source rock and all related oil and gas and which includes all the geologic element and processes that are essential if a hydrocarbon accumulation is to exist

Geochemical Processes

Applied organic geochemistry has

become an essential part of

prospect evaluation.

Few companies would acquire or

relinquish acreage without first

performing a geochemical analysis.

The main concepts or processes

we’ll be interested in are:

Source rock ACCUMULATION

MATURATION upon burial

GENERATION of hydrocarbons

EXPULSION from the source

rock

Page 28: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst
Page 29: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Source Rock Criteria

QUANTITY of organic matter

TYPE of organic matter

MATURITY of organic matter

GENERATION of hydrocarbons

EXPULSION of hydrocarbons

%TOC Grade

< 0.5 Very Poor0.5 – 1.0 Poor

1.0 – 2.0 Fair

2.0 – 4.0 Good

4.0 – 12.0 Excellent

> 12.0 Oil Shale / Coal

Typically, hydrocarbons are generated in a

dark, organic-rich shale.

Criteria that must be considered:

Quantity

Type

Maturity

Generation

Maturation

Quantity usually measured as TOC (Total

Organic Carbon). A TOC = 1.0 means that

organic carbon constitutes 1 percent dry

weight of the rock.

Typical source rocks have TOC values of

above 1%, ideally 2.5 to 5%.

Another modelling consideration is that

PORTION of the source rock that has the

high TOC content.

The entire formation may be hundreds of

feet thick. The portion rich in TOC may

only be tens of feet thick.

Page 30: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Soluble and insoluble organic matter in

sediments

That part of organic matter which is insoluble in organic solvents is called KEROGEN.

Typically comprised of plant remains.

Soluble organic matter = bitumen.

Each kerogen type will accumulate in a particular sedimentary environment.

Each kerogen type is related to a type of plant material.

Each kerogen type has a tendency to product a certain type of hydrocarbon.

In BasinMod, we use the Type I, Type II Type III Classification.

Type IV has no hydrocarbon potential - it is totally burned up.

Rock-Eval Pyrolysis

Attempt to simulate the hydrocarbon generation process in the

laboratory. QUANTIFIES geochemical parameters.

Rock is heated at a much HIGHER TEMPERATURE than in

nature so generation occurs in a much SHORTER TIME than in

nature.

S1 represents hydrocarbons already present in the rock.

Measured as mg HC per grams of TOC.

S2 represents hydrocarbon formed by thermal degradation

during pyrolysis. It is the most important indicator of the

present-day ability of the kerogen to generate hydrocarbons.

TMAX is the temperature at which the S2 peak occurs. It

represents the temperature at peak generation.

S3 represents the amount of carbon dioxide in the kerogen

which is related to the amount of oxygen in the kerogen. High

oxygen contents are related either to woody-cellulosic source

material or to strong oxidation during diagenesis, high oxygen

content of a kerogen is a negative indicator of hydrocarbon

source potential.

Page 35: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Rock-Eval Pyrolysis

After Waples, 1985

250-550°C

S1 = HC already present (250°C)

S2 = HC generated from

the kerogen by thermal

decomposition (420 - 460°C)

S3 = carbon dioxide given

off by the kerogen Tmax

Rock-Eval Pyrolysis Generalizations

Immature Source Rock

small S1 peak (small amount HC already generated)

larger S2 peak

Mature Source Rock

large S1 peak (more HC already generated)

smaller S2 peak, occurring at a higher temperature than the immature sample due to increased thermal stability of the more mature organic matter

Page 38: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Maturation and Generated Hydrocarbons

Modified from Dow, 1977

The level of source rock maturation can be measured optically by such methods a spore color index and vitrinite

reflectance. Maturity can be calculated given the subsidence history of the rock and the geothermal gradient of the

area.

Page 39: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

MIGRATION

PRIMARY MIGRATION (EXPULSION)

SECONDARY MIGRATION

Page 40: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

MIGRATION

Page 41: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

PRIMARY MIGRATION EXPULSION FROM THE SOURCE ROCK

Page 42: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Migration - Saturation Threshold Theory

Page 43: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

1. At present no general methods for establishing the percent

of generated bitument that migrated out of a source rocks

2. Oil to source rocks correlation provide direct indicator of

migration

3. Assume Hc generation drives migration process

need minimum bitument quantity before expulsion occur

Need to saturarate absorbers in the rock and fill the pore

system

Momper (1978) estimate on average requires 850 ppm

Expulsion from the Source Rock

Page 44: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

The mechanism of expulsion is still the subject of

debate.

One method is Porosity Saturation:

As Maturation progresses, organic matter is transformed

to oil. The generated oil fills pore spaces created by

the destruction of kerogen.

1. Oil fills the pore spaces, overcomes capillary

resistance and begins to expel.

2. Overpressure caused by the conversion of kerogen to

oil and gas microfractures the rock and expels the

fluid phase.

3. In a lean source rock, not enough oil may be generated

to fill the pore spaces. With continued burial, this

trapped oil may crack to gas

Expulsion from the Source Rock

Page 45: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Another controlling factor is the sedimentary

geometry of the source rocks.

The expulsion efficiency is highest when the

source rocks are thin and hydrocarbons have a

short distance to migrate to more permeable

carrier beds (meters, rather than tens of

meters).

Intercalated sandstones and shales would

provide much greater expulsion efficiency than

thicker bedded shales and sands.

Expulsion from the Source Rock

Page 46: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Rocks that are brittle and overpressured are

likely to fracture

which dramatically enhances

expulsion efficiency.

Expulsion from the Source Rock

Page 47: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Expulsion efficiency

Temperature 120-150 C strongly dependent of original richness

Minimum petroleum saturation in the source rock (about 40%) is

required before efficient expulsion take place.

Rich source rocks > 5kg/ton, TOC>1.5 very efficient 60-90% of total

petroleum generated being expelled.

Lean source rocks <5kg/ton, TOC<1.5% expulsion efficiency is

much lower most of the generated oil remain in the source rocks.

Raising Temperature cracked to gas and expulsion can be very

efficient

(Cooles, Mackenzie and Qiugley 1986)

EXPULSION EFFICIENCY

Page 48: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

EXPULSION EFFICIENCY

Page 49: From Anticline Hunting to Petroleum Syst

Expulsion Efficiency

as a Function of Source Rock Richness

Certain kerogens undergo

generation at earlier maturity

due to lower activation

energies.

These same kerogens can be

expected to undergo earlier

expulsion.

Richer source rocks will

accumulate greater volumes

earlier that lean source rocks

and begin to expel earlier.

SECONDARY MIGRATION CONCENTRATES SUBSURFACE PETROLEUM

INTO SPECIFIC SITES (TRAPS) WHERE IT MAY BE COMMERCIALLY

EXTRATED.

THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRIMARY MIGRATION (OUT OF THE

SORCE ROCK) AND SECONDARY MIGRATION (TROUGH CARRIER BED)

IS THE POROSITY, PERMEABILITY, PORE SIZE DISTRIBUTION TROUGH

WHICH MIGRATION TAKE PLACE.
