Ongoing and Completed Activities--Regional Study Including Southwest Kansas)

  1. additional log digitizing, and quality control, normalization, and calibration of digital borehole data;
  2. began construction of a 3D geocellullar model (Petrel) of the regional Arbuckle saline aquifer;
  3. characterize and verify faults and caprock and refine internal stratigraphy and petrophysical properties assigned to layers using digitized logs and donated regional 3D seismic;
  4. compute initial estimates of regional Arbuckle CO2 storage capacity submitted to NATCARB carbon sequestration atlas;
  5. completing reservoir simulation of Chester sandstone in Pleasant Prairie Field;
  6. selection of location for new basement well in Cutter Field and locating new 3D seismic survey.

Ongoing and Completed Activities--Wellington Field

  1. depth-migrated 3D seismic survey received and seismic inversion and shear wave interpretations near completion to update geomodels of Mississippian and Arbuckle;
  2. calibrating well logs with core analyses for revised geomodels of Mississippian reservoir and Arbuckle;
  3. update on geochemical and microbial activities, and diagenetic studies of the Mississippian and Arbuckle; and
  4. describe promising seismic approach to modeling porosity profile in top Mississippian (Aryrat).
