“…The primary result from the suite of gamma ray, rhob and pef log curves sliced over the Lower Peninsula of Michigan indicated a period of quite carbonate and evaporite deposition occurred during Dundee-Rogers City time. This is in sharp contrast with the previous work on the overlying Traverse Group by Wylie (2002) and Wylie and Huntoon (2003) that identified multiple cycles of gamma ray distributions related to the expansion and contraction of muddy deltas in the eastern Michigan Basin. No comparable delta building activity is apparent in the gamma ray, rhob and pef data for the Dundee and Rogers City Limestones.…”

“…However, as described by Wylie (2002), common practice is to average wireline log curve amplitudes over the interval under analysis when correlating well data. Consequently, Wylie's primary objective for creating the slicing program (WLT) was to analyze well log curves without compromising their vertical resolution (Wylie, 2002;Wylie and Huntoon, 2003). By creating a slice at every foot, the full vertical resolution contained within the log curve data is preserved in each well.…”

“…Wylie and Huntoon (2003) stated that if these bounding surfaces can be defined as unconformities, sequence boundaries, parasequence boundaries, flooding surfaces, condensed sections or ash beds, then the slicing image results would be chronostratigraphically significant. An example of a chronostratigraphic surface would be the images that a satellite captures of the modern depositional surface.…”

“…Log curve amplitude slicing is a form of tomography that utilizes the full vertical resolution of geophysical well log curves (Wylie and Huntoon, 2003;Wylie, 2002). Amplitude slices represent approximate time lines when the interval under analysis is bounded by unconformities or other chronostratigraphic surfaces and show the inferred distribution of lithofacies at the time of deposition.…”

Recycled CO2 will be used in this demonstration project to produce bypassed oil from the Silurian Charlton 6 pinnacle reef (Otsego County) in the Michigan Basin. Contract negotiations by our industry partner to gain access to this CO2 that would otherwise be vented to the atmosphere are near completion. A new method of subsurface characterization, log curve amplitude slicing, is being used to map facies distributions and reservoir properties in two reefs, the Belle River Mills and Chester 18 Fields. The Belle River Mills and Chester18 fields are being used as typefields because they have excellent log-curve and core data coverage. Amplitude slicing of the normalized gamma ray curves is showing trends that may indicate significant heterogeneity and compartmentalization in these reservoirs. Digital and hard copy data continues to be compiled for the Niagaran reefs in the Michigan Basin. Technology transfer took place through technical presentations regarding the log curve amplitude slicing technique and a booth at the Midwest PTTC meeting.

Recycled CO2 will be used in this demonstration project to produce bypassed oil from the Silurian Dover 35 pinnacle reef (Otsego County) in the Michigan Basin. Contract negotiations by our industry partner to gain access to the CO2 supply have been completed and the State of Michigan has issued an order to allow operation of the project. Injection of CO2 is scheduled to begin in February, 2004. Subsurface characterization is being completed using well log tomography animations and 3D visualizations to map facies distributions and reservoir properties in two reefs, the Belle River Mills and Chester 18 Fields. The Belle River Mills and Chester18 fields are being used as type-fields because they have excellent log and/or core data coverage. Amplitude slicing of the normalized gamma ray and core permeability and core porosity curves is showing trends that indicate significant heterogeneity and compartmentalization in these reservoirs associated with the original depositional fabric of the rocks. Digital and hard copy data continues to be compiled for the Niagaran reefs in the Michigan Basin. Technology transfer took place through technical presentations regarding visualization of the heterogeneity of the Niagaran reefs. An oral presentation was given at the AAPG Eastern Section Meeting and a booth at the same meeting was used to meet one-on-one with operators.
