Santos Basin is well known for some of the largest pre-salt oil and gas fields in the world. For oil fields in production, OBN has emerged as the solution to improve the pre-salt images. It’s rich low frequency, full-azimuth coverage and long-offsets are ideal for velocity model building using FWI. The acquisition effort of conventional OBN layouts makes it unsuitable for large-scale exploration purposes. In this case, the use of sparse OBN acquisition for velocity model building together with NAZ streamer data for imaging can improve our understanding of complex pre-salt plays and fields during the exploration phase.

Summary “Block BM-C-33 sits in the SW quadrant of the Campos Basin, approximately 200km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Three discoveries (Seat, Gavea and Pao de Acucar) were made between 2009 and 2012. Following appraisal, these are now believed to hold reserves of more than one billion barrels of oil equivalent. Reservoirs in Block BM-C-33 were growing in the outer Campos Basin during the Aptian. They sit on top of rotated and eroded fault blocks and paleo volcanic highs. On a regional scale, they can be viewed as a distal continuation of the Coqueiros and Macabu formations. Seismically, the accumulations are characterized by a wedge-shaped and mounded external geometry ( Hunt, et al., 2019 ). The reservoirs of BM-C-33 are unique. The original rock has been subject to a range of diagenetic processes which completely have altered the original mineral assemblage and pore textures. The resulting reservoir rock displays a complex pore network - different from what is observed in other pre-salt reservoirs. Silica is a key component in the reservoirs of BM-C-33. According to recent works ( Lapponi et al, 2019 , Tritlla et al, 2018 ; Tritlla, et al, 2019 ), the origin of the silica is both early, during or shortly after deposition; and late, associated with hydrothermal activity most likely in Mid Albian ( Tritlla et al, 2018 ). Pore types are diverse and pores range in size from micro porosity to meter scale caverns. Measurements of permeability at different scales reflect this diversity. Permeability measurements on SWC’s capture matrix properties and are generally low (a few mD and below). DST’s on the other hand suggest average reservoir scale permeabilities of several hundreds of mD. Frequent and occasionally massive mud losses during drilling of reservoir sections confirm the presence of large-scale pore systems. Reservoir properties in carbonate reservoirs are closely tied to pore types. NMR and BHI (BoreHole Image) logs are keys for typing of matrix and larger scale pores respectively. Lack of whole core and production logs make conceptual models important but alternative scenarios are carried forward to capture the uncertainty span. Characterization of reservoir properties in BM-C-33 depends on multidisciplinary work and integration of data on a wide range of scales. Whilst the matrix holds most of the hydrocarbon in place, excess permeability features as fractures, faults, connected vugs and caverns control flow. This abstract discusses some key features and the work that has been done to characterize them.”
BM-C-33区块位于Campos盆地的西南象限,距离巴西里约热内卢海岸约200公里。2009年至2012年间发现了三个新发现(Seat、Gavea和Pao de Acucar)。经过评估,这些油田现在被认为拥有超过10亿桶石油当量的储量。BM-C-33区块的储层在Aptian时期在Campos盆地外围发育。它们位于旋转侵蚀的断块和古火山高地之上。在区域范围内,它们可以被视为Coqueiros和Macabu地层的远端延续。从地震角度看,储层具有楔形和丘状的外部几何形状(Hunt等,2019)。BM-C-33油藏是独一无二的。原始岩石经历了一系列成岩作用,完全改变了原始矿物组合和孔隙结构。由此产生的储层岩石显示出复杂的孔隙网络,这与在其他盐下储层中观察到的不同。二氧化硅是BM-C-33储层的关键成分。根据最近的研究(Lapponi et al, 2019, Tritlla et al, 2018;Tritlla等人,2019),二氧化硅的起源既在沉积早期,也在沉积期间或沉积后不久;晚,与热液活动最有可能在中Albian (Tritlla et al, 2018)。孔隙类型多样,孔隙大小从微孔到米级溶洞不等。不同尺度的渗透率测量反映了这种多样性。SWC捕获基质性质的渗透率测量值通常较低(几个mD以下)。另一方面,DST表明平均储层渗透率为数百mD。在钻井过程中,储层段频繁出现大量泥浆漏失,证实了大规模孔隙系统的存在。碳酸盐岩储层的储层性质与孔隙类型密切相关。核磁共振测井和钻孔成像测井分别是划分基质和大尺度孔隙类型的关键。由于缺少整个岩心和生产日志,概念模型非常重要,但为了捕获不确定性范围,可以采用替代方案。BM-C-33储层性质的表征取决于多学科工作和大范围数据的整合。虽然基质将大部分碳氢化合物保持在原位,但过度渗透率以裂缝、断层、连通的孔洞和洞穴为特征,控制着流动。这篇摘要讨论了一些关键特征和已经做的工作来表征它们。

Summary Current imaging technologies such as Kirchhoff Migration and Reverse Time Migration (RTM) provide a level of seismic resolution that help capture hydrocarbon reservoirs and outline prospects. Least-Squares Migration (LSM) is becoming the new standard in high-end seismic imaging, providing a higher level of granularity necessary for prospect risk mitigation, reservoir characterization and well planning. In this paper, we present the advantages of using LSM for imaging and interpretation of presalt reservoirs of the prolific Santos Basin.”

Summary The ability to differentiate between good quality carbonate reservoir and low permeability limestone or volcano-clastic lithology using seismic data is key to successful exploration and development in the Brazil pre-salt play. However, the reservoir characterization is strongly coupled with the imaging challenges associated with the complex overburden and lateral property variations. In order to gain insights into this problem, we carefully build 3D elastic models for a synthetic study using real data acquisition parameters and simulated full-wavefield elastic data. The synthetic data generated via elastic full-wave simulation closely resembles the actual data challenges, even under ideal settings. The richness of this dataset and the complexity of the model provides a laboratory to test various workflows and approaches from conventional processing/imaging/ inversion to more complex imaging and reservoir characterization workflows.

Summary The Brazilian Pre-Salt is undergoing rapid growth spurred by changes in local legislation, resulting in much increased demand for seismic data, especially Ocean Bottom Node data to characterize and monitor the complex carbonate reservoirs. This demand has led to a “traffic jam” of permit applications that will not allow surveys to be acquired where and when they are needed to influence business decisions. Increasing OBN seismic efficiency is one way to try to alleviate this congestion, by increasing the rate of node handling operations and the efficiency of source operations. We describe a model to estimate the duration and cost of such surveys, considering various scenarios for node deployment rates and number of seismic sources operating simultaneously. We identify the most efficient combinations that reduce idle time for the vessels. These include use of two autonomous source vessels or a single source vessel carrying quad and hexasource configurations. In all cases we use small volume seismic sources to reduce the acoustic energy output into the ocean. Field testing will be required to assess the ability of small sources (under 1000ci) to image the Pre-salt reservoirs, and the feasibility of deblending algorithms to preserve fidelity for 4D seismic monitoring.

Summary A wide-range analysis of subsurface data along the Pre-Salt Province of Santos and Campos basins revealed that the whole area shares strong similarities of key characteristics, such as, reservoir-pod and pressure compartmentalization, migration pathways and thermal evolution of the petroleum system. This investigation covers formation pressure data, petroleum system modelling and reservoir characterization aiming to understand the relationship among different basin domains, structural compartments, oil cracking signature, CO2 content and GOR distributions along the study area. One of the main objectives of this work is to support a risk assessment of the remaining exploration potential of the pre-salt open acreage, helping the technical evaluation of the new concession areas for future bid-rounds with factual elements that were obtained from existing oil fields. This approach may also be useful to support the drilling planning, to expect well testing productivity, and to forecast the geopressured settings, which can be important for future field development, principally if Gas and/or CO2 are present in quantities that can impact the production. The pressure compartments were characterized from wireline information obtained in key wells along Santos and Campos Basin, in which the well-to-well analysis is exemplified in Figure 1 and the comparison among wells in different compartments is illustrated in Figure 2 . The MDT pressure points were evaluated in the wells, aiming to establish the hydrocarbon and water formation gradients, as well as to characterize the average subsurface pressure at reservoir level. The results show a clear distinction of pressure compartments along the basins, as defined in Figure 2 , although what controls the geopressured environment is not completely understood. Commonly, as reported in the literature (e.g. Bradley & Powley, 1994 ), the pressure compartments are explained by the effectivity of the seal that prevents pressure equilibration to normal hydrostatic pressure. Nevertheless, zones of high and low pressures in Santos and Campos basins are not always directly related to the salt withdrawal, suggesting that other factors as disequilibrium compaction and thermal history might be very important in the dynamics of petroleum system and preserving conditions for the accumulations.
