  • Geophysics 210 September 2008
    Geophysics 210 September 2008 Geophysics 210 - Physics of the Earth A1: What is geophysics Geophysics: Application of physics to understand the structure and working of the Earth. Geophysics can be divided into exploration geophysics and geodynamics. Exploration geophysics is the process of imaging what is inside the Earth. Direct sampling in the Earth with drilling can only reach depths around 10 km so indirect methods are needed. Often used to describe commercial exploration, but includes investigations to depths of the mantle and core. All geophysical methods can be divided into active and passive techniques. In an active technique, it is necessary to generate a signal (e.g. in seismic studies sound waves are generated with an explosion or an earthquake). In a passive technique a naturally occurring signal is detected (e.g. the pull of gravity of a buried object). Geodynamics is the study of how the Earth works, and considers questions such as: -what drives plate motion? -what triggers earthquakes? -how is the Earth’s magnetic field generated? -how do continent-continent collisions build mountains? This field depends heavily on information derived from geophysical imaging. Advances in computer power now allow simulations of these processes in ever increasing detail and realism. A2 : Basic structure of the Earth • Radially symmetric to first order. • Crust – mainly silicate minerals, enriched in lighter elements (Na, Al) • Mantle – silicate minerals with more heavy elements (Fe and Mg) magnesium. Divided into upper and lower mantle (dashed line) • Outer core - liquid iron that convects rapidly. • Inner core – Lump of solid iron roughly the size of the moon • Crust and mantle are defined in terms of their distinct chemical compositions.

  • Deep Borehole Placement of Radioactive Wastes a Feasibility Study
    DEEP BOREHOLE PLACEMENT OF RADIOACTIVE WASTES A FEASIBILITY STUDY Bernt S. Aadnøy & Maurice B. Dusseault Executive Summary Deep Borehole Placement (DBP) of modest amounts of high-level radioactive wastes from a research reactor is a viable option for Norway. The proposed approach is an array of large- diameter (600-750 mm) boreholes drilled at a slight inclination, 10° from vertical and outward from a central surface working site, to space 400-600 mm diameter waste canisters far apart to avoid any interactions such as significant thermal impacts on the rock mass. We believe a depth of 1 km, with waste canisters limited to the bottom 200-300 m, will provide adequate security and isolation indefinitely, provided the site is fully qualified and meets a set of geological and social criteria that will be more clearly defined during planning. The DBP design is flexible and modular: holes can be deeper, more or less widely spaced, at lesser inclinations, and so on. This modularity and flexibility allow the principles of Adaptive Management to be used throughout the site selection, development, and isolation process to achieve the desired goals. A DBP repository will be in a highly competent, low-porosity and low-permeability rock mass such as a granitoid body (crystalline rock), a dense non-reactive shale (chloritic or illitic), or a tight sandstone. The rock matrix should be close to impermeable, and the natural fractures and bedding planes tight and widely spaced. For boreholes, we recommend avoiding any substance of questionable long-term geochemical stability; hence, we recommend that surface casings (to 200 m) be reinforced polymer rather than steel, and that the casing is sustained in the rock mass with an agent other than standard cement.

    Geophysical Research Abstracts Vol. 14, EGU2012-13161, 2012 EGU General Assembly 2012 © Author(s) 2012 New petrophysical magnetic methods MACC and MAFM in permeability characterisation of petroleum reservoir rock cleaning, flooding modelling and determination of fines migration in formation damage O. P. Ivakhnenko Department of Petroleum Engineering, Kazakh-British Technical University, 59 Tolebi Str. Almaty, Kazakhstan ([email protected]; [email protected]/Fax: +7 727 2720487) Potential applications of magnetic techniques and methods in petroleum engineering and petrophysics (Ivakhnenko, 1999, 2006; Ivakhnenko & Potter, 2004) reveal their vast advantages for the petroleum reser- voir characterisation and formation evaluation. In this work author proposes for the first time developed systematic methods of the Magnetic Analysis of Core Cleaning (MACC) and Magnetic Analysis of Fines Migration (MAFM) for characterisation of reservoir core cleaning and modelling estimations of fines migration for the petroleum reservoir formations. Using example of the one oil field we demonstrate results in application of these methods on the reservoir samples. Petroleum reservoir cores samples have been collected within reservoir using routine technique of reservoir sampling and preservation for PVT analysis. Immediately before the MACC and MAFM studies samples have been exposed to atmospheric air for a few days. The selected samples have been in detailed way characterised after fluid cleaning and core flooding by their mineralogical compositions and petrophysical parameters. Mineralogical composition has been estimated utilizing XRD techniques. The petrophysical parameters, such as permeability and porosity have been measured on the basis of total core analysis. The results demonstrate effectiveness and importance of the MACC and MAFM methods for the routine core analysis (RCAL) and the special core analysis (SCAL) in the reservoir characterisation, core flooding and formation damage analysis.
