Dr. Bertha Alarcon Vargas, DDS, is a General Dentistry specialist practicing in Pomona, CA with 33 years of experience. In our close-knit learning community, top-tier academics and Christian faith are integrated in 100 programs of study. Wells drilled here have been among the worlds deepest. Am I still allowed to use a lighter to light my cigarette or do I need to go back to matches? Ghawars source rocks are an organic-rich Silurian shale formation. It has always been the case that some people take the newest research or hypothesis as more than just an idea or some guesswork, but instead see it as knowledge. 1 (Anardarko basin, Oklahoma, U.S.)* . [3], According to publicly available well records from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, the Bertha Rogers hole ceased production of natural gas in July 1997 and has since been plugged and abandoned. I came across an crazy example of this, or at least a purported example, a month or two ago when reading some material posted by others on Twitter, during one of those never ending comment threads that occur there. If the oldest oil sampled is not much beyond 400 million years age (~start of Carboniferous period), I believe that would be the nail in the coffin for the abiotic theory of oil. This project, which was intended to penetrate the shallow crust under the Pacific Ocean off Mexico, was abandoned in 1966 because of lack of funding. The Deep Anadarko Basin of Western Oklahoma is one of the most prolific gas provinces of North America. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DFHtvDA0W34I&ved=2ahUKEwj73Ky8897hAhVDmIsKHbfZCfAQwqsBMAB6BAgGEAU&usg=AOvVaw3fMJb2nOZzbkk6cRpI1kqX. U.S. petroleum history provides a context for understanding how to meet Americas future energy needs. Union's variety of organizations, events and sports offers something for everyone. OH NO!!!! If it's that water boiling hot deep down the well, why not turn it into geothermal energy generator? Societies dont produce energy, businesses do. On Russia's Kola Peninsula, near the Norwegian border at about the same latitude as Prudhoe Bay, the Soviets have been drilling a well since 1970. When controls on gas prices were lifted, Anadarko justified the faith and perseverance of The GHK Company and other operators who pioneered in deep drilling. That was not drilling for oil, though. And then, this year, someone called out all the media who carried the Fuel Fighter infographic on their mistake. Most of the rocks originally below that level have been eroded away, carried downstream by the rivers and deposited in the Gulf. On April 13, 1974, Bertha Rogers No. In this manner, they were able to eliminate rotation of the entire drill string above. This is a place where a salt water sea exists, connected to the ocean but underlain by continental crust. al. Please, Saudi Aramco Is Very Optimistic About Oil Demand, Saudi Arabia Aims To Become The Worlds Fastest-Growing Economy In 2023, U.S. Natural Gas Demand Set To Climb As Cold Weather Closes In, Bullish Catalysts Are Mounting For Copper, Central Asias Glaciers Are Melting At Astonishing Rates, Gas Flowing To Freeport LNG, Restart Timeframe Unchanged, U.S. Although, it remained the deepest hole on the planet for five years. Other plates have been, and still are, doing so. Plateaus at the same altitude. The equipment could not take the abuse at total depth. This enables reservoir quality rocks to exist at deeper depths than previously expected. This dinosaurs meme gets its start maybe from Sinclair and their wonderful logo and plastic green dinos at every station; or perhaps for those very entertaining Chevron TV commercials of the late 1970s and 80s. The greater the hole angle, the bigger the difference. 1 barrel of crude oil = 5,722,000 Btu Much information comes from such holes; for example, the bottom of this hole was about 370F (190C). For example here is a cell dynamics video I randomly selected. It was March 1974 and the enormous investment of Lone Star Producing Company of Dallas, and partner GHK Company of Oklahoma City, was about to be lost. Many more wells need to be drilled into a chalk reservoir than a sandstone reservoir because of the properties of the reservoir rock. P.S. In addition to the important bearing that this discovery has on the general geophysical sciences, there is a potential economic impact. In an inert environment, aromatics, naphthenes and paraffins can be stable up to 1000F or even higher. Or at least, ALSO of abiotic nature. About 10,000 to 11,000 below the surface well within the oil window. Severe ones are typically 50,000. Lindquist, Sandra J. But also keep in mind that the places where oil and gas are recovered are not the source of the material, but simply a place where the right conditions exist to trap a large amount of it as it percolates upwards, and also happens to be a type of rocked that will not only hold it in place, but also be porous enough to allow pumping it out fast to be possible. Mrs. Rogers was born in Halifax County, VA on July 5, 1940 to the late Albert Nick Stanfield and Bertha McCargo Stanfield and was married to the late James Lowell Rogers. Most rotary fishing jobs were caused by twist offs (broken drill pipe), although the bit, drill coupling or tool joints may break or unscrew. In 1979 the No. It wasnt the last time Lone Star/Enserch turned an exploration well into a science project/engineering demonstration. McKinley. Basic fishing tools include the spear and socket, each with milled edges. The technology for mining the depths at which the solutions occur, however, is not yet available. How deep into the ground are we able to go? In 1980, the Oklahoma Historical Society and Oklahoma Petroleum Council dedicated a granite monument at Third and Pioneer streets in Elk City, Oklahoma. In a note of totally unrelated trivia: Lone Star Producing became . It is really easy to look up the geologic history of any particular place. http://old.fai.org/news/personalities/35338-judyleden, While not a hot air balloon, Joe Kittinger jumped out of a balloon gondola at 102,800, http://www.airforcemag.com/MagazineArchive/Pages/2014/August 2014/Kittinger.aspx, Yeah, but did she do it with no oxygen or even a heavy coat? David Middleton posted: Over 41 km is the present record. The Earth's crust is broken into many smaller plates that slide very slowly over a more mobile or 'plastic' material called the asthenosphere. The largest number I have heard of is 50 something wells from an offshore platform. But I invite scientists more knowledgeable than me to comment on this. By true vertical depth: Bertha Rogers No. The term fishing came from early percussion drilling using cable-tools. Given the technology and funds, geologists would like to try to go deeper for core samples, but digging such holes requires much patience, money, technology, and luck. Organic geochemical analyses of fine-grained rocks from the 9.590 km Bertha Rogers No. That person has a low chance of ever getting themselves straightened out. John Livingston Grandin dug his well nearby using a simple spring pole but soon wedged his iron chisel downhole. What I was getting at is that, as deep as the deepest producing wells are, the place where the original sediment exists is even deeper. Gordon, when mountain ranges erode away and get left in various places on the way to the sea, it is more commonly by water and ice, than by wind. Drilling time and depth improved with the addition of steam power and tall, wooden derricks. Completion designs were optimized to successfully run an approximately 3,600-m open-hole completion, and the well was finished in approximately 70 days. A 2017 infographic from Fuel Fighter offered some impressive context for the supposedly massive depth of the Rosneft/Exxon well. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawnchair_Larry_flight. The Anadarko Basin extends across western Oklahoma into the Texas Panhandle and into southwestern Kansas and southeastern Colorado. The geothermal gradient is highly variable. (Miriam OBrien aka slandering Sou from Hotwhopper, that means you.). The North Sakhalin Neogene total petroleum system of eastern Russia. Rosneft states it on its website, in a press release on the completion of O-14, that the total depth of the well, including the vertical and the directional section, is 15 km, of which the non-vertical section extends 14.13 km, or 46,900 feet. Dates. All rights reserved. This quote from Arrhenius establishes the fact that the Greenhouse Effect, far from being a misnomer, is so-called because it was originally based on the assumption that an atmosphere and the glass of a greenhouse are the same in their workings. 1 reached a total depth of 31,441 feet where it encountered liquid sulfur. Even deeper oil reservoirs have been discovered in the oil window, many of these will be coming on production over the next few years. Its mind-boggling that you seem to think its clever. On November 26, 2005, Vijaypat Singhania set the world altitude record for highest hot-air-balloon flight, reaching 21,290 m (69,850 ft) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_altitude_record#Hot-air_balloons, And for good measure, renown hang glider pilot, Judy Leden broke the World Hang Gliding Altitude Record by being towed to 41,307 feet by a hot air balloon. A few years ago I was asked to review one of those deep water discoveries in the Gulf of Mexico, and although the productive layer was very thick, and the oil in place was very large, I suggested they should not expect more than a 15% recovery factor, because the fluid/rock/temperature and geology just werent good enough to do anything but cherry pick the better spots. That guy was brave. There is subduction off the West Coast, but what is being and has been subducted is not the Pacific plate, but the Farallon plate, and it remnants, known as the Juan De Fuca plate in the north, the Cocos plate off of Central America, and a few slices called the Gorda and the Rivera plate, although the exact names and some of the details are still being disputed, including whether the Farallon was one plate or, more likely, a complex situation sort of like what exists now north and west of Australia. That is the current record for a depth reached by humans. There are no oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico with bottom hole temperatures outside of the oil window. The average number of slots on a fixed platform in the Gulf is 8. I think perhaps you could learn some very interesting science by starting at the beginning and learning about the science of geology in a systematic way. I doubt there will ever be a day that no new textbooks are needed. In some places the crust wrinkled into mountains, at various times and places. Since it was established by an Act of Congress in 1946, scientists at the Geophysical Institute have studied geophysical processes from the center of the Earth to the surface of the sun and beyond, turning data and observations into information useful for state, Arctic and national priorities. To effectively drain the east and west flanks of this reservoir, record-length wells beyond the current extended reach drilling (ERD) envelope were required. The conditions for source rock formation were most prevalent in the Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods. On April 13, 1974, Bertha Rogers No. The Chayvo oilfield is very impressive for many reasons; however the depths of the wells and the oil & gas reservoirs are not among those reasons. Some material from contributors may contain additional copyrights of their respective company or organization. Her most recent poetry collection, Heart Turned Back, was published by Salmon Poetry, Ireland, in 2010. She was born October 2, 1933 in English, West Virginia. Going much deeper would be incredibly dangerous, as limitations such as heat, humidity, logistics, and potential seismic activity all become more intense. The combination of thick layers of salt and deep water depths enable oil to exist at depths previously unexpected. It fits perfectly with the point of the article. All of these have bottomhole temperatures less than 300 F. The Washita County marker notes: The Deep Anadarko Basin of Western Oklahoma is one of the most prolific gas provinces of North America. Not actual cracking. This die fit over the end of the stuck tool, tapered inward slightly, and when turned to the left, cut a thread on the cable tool. According to Lone Star Producing Company, the bottom hole pressure and temperature were an estimated 24,850 pounds per square inch and 475 degrees Fahrenheit respectively. Many of the executives had pieces of sulfur that were recovered from the Bertha Rogers well. But then he looked back up and saw his balloon receding away. I can sort of understand the use of abiotic. But, dinosaurs implies that there isnt even a starting point for communication. Consider sandstone reservoirs vs chalk reservoirs. Theres an Objectively Measured Earth Surface Temperature, U.S. Anytime a graphic purports to equate altitude with depth in the Earth, you know the person(s) authoring the graphic are solely in it for publishing glory. In spite of Arrhenius misunderstanding of Fourier, the Concise Oxford English Dictionary (11th Edition) reflects his initial opening description of the Greenhouse Effect: Science these days seems to be more and more filled with impressive illustrations and animations which at bottom are not based on real data directly and are heavily influenced by someones opinion about how things work. 74-89% of retail investor accounts lose money. UmJeff, pretty sure DM just gave you the opposite of a slang definition. True vertical depth is how deep the well was drilled. However, there are quite a few oil wells in the Gulf producing from oil reservoirs at true vertical depths of 20,000 to 28,000. Its not only not the worlds deepest oil well, its about 20,000 shy of the deepest oil well in the Gulf of Mexico, possibly deepest in the world. 69,850 for a hot air balloon is kind of surprising. Saint Helens. Several separate mountain ranges have been uplifted and eroded away. As old ocean plates are subducted, sometimes islands, sediments, and anything else sitting on top of them is scraped off and accreted in the area adjacent to the subduction zone. Among the deepest wells in the world have been the Kola Superdeep Borehole, a 1989 experimental well drilled the Soviet Union. Blasphemy! This could only mean that water which had originally been a part of the chemical composition of the rock minerals themselves (as contrasted with ground water) had been forced out of the crystals and prevented from rising by an overlying cap of impermeable rock. But if they know something that is falsewell good luck. Dont worry about what they call you. Andrew Breitbart |readmore, the worlds most viewed climate website 901-759-0029, Midtown / Memphis Campus Oil does not come from plants and dinosaurs at 40,000 feet. Algae and phytoplankton arent dinosaurs and are not exactly plants either. Site Map Screams in the deepest borehole. And just as compression can uplift the land, at other times this compression may slacked, and the uplifted terrain then gets stretched out and drops. David is ignorant and uninterested concerning the geological paradoxes. In 1979, the No. This could possibly account for molten sulfur. Rotten dinosaurs, honest! That announcement was 14 years ago, and I could not find a more recent article or publication on using this technique on oil. I remember being told once that the USGS had a sort of gentlemans agreement with at least some of the oil companies that if they hit economic basement, they should keep drilling long enough to recover enough rock to characterize it. Heres a cross section of the Williston Basin in North Dakota. The deepest well ever drilled for any reason, the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, only went down 40,230 feet. Drilling stopped there at six miles (9.65 kilometers) when the bit hit molten sulfur. The rock bends and cracks, there are slumps and slides which displace large blocks away from the river mouths. We were using Black Magic as the drill fluid which made the drill floor slippery as fresh owl defecate. Salt and water are also less dense than most other overburden. For more information, contact bawells@aoghs.org. 1 well, which sought natural gas almost six miles deep in Oklahomas Anadarko Basin. Culminating long chapter was CAGW, vetted by Prof Lindzen of MIT just weeks before he retired. Roughnecking jobs today are for sissies and weaklings. In Arrhenius (1896, p. 237) we read: One of the cable tool sections would eventually yield, unscrew, and be removed.. In other words, the true vertical depth of the well is less than 1 km or 3,280 feet. They can fill in. Hundreds of millions of years ago, the Western US was a place where a long period of erosion had worn the land down below sea level in spots, and there existed a feature called an inland sea. It has been an intracratonic depression since at least the Cambrian Period >500 million years. Bertha Rogers is a poet, teaching artist, and founding director of Bright Hill Press and Literary Center in New York's Catskill Mountain Region. Despite its depth, the bottomhole temperature was only about 280 F, within the oil window. Australia's Green Transition Energy Price Caps are Causing Supply Side Chaos, Unsettled: Climate and Science | Dr. Steven Koonin, Climate conundrum: Study finds ants arent altering behavior in rising temperatures, Academics and the Grid Part 3: Visionaries and Problem Solvers, They Touched Greta! 2745 Hacks Cross Road The process whereby ocean crustand the sediments sitting on top of them, or sediments that formed in places called inland seaswind up as the tops of mountains or halfway to the bottom of the Grand Canyon or anywhere else that is not the top of a mountain, is called uplift, not subduction. It's possible to draw a reasonable cross section of the earth based purely on remote geophysical (largely seismic) methods, but unless on-the-spot checks can be made, there will always be a certain amount of guesswork involved. Nicholas McGinley, thank you for your patient, in-depth explanations that have educated me, the a freshman geology student, with no understanding of geology. This has never been observed anywhere else. (2000). The Kola well has now penetrated about halfway through the crust of the Baltic continental shield, exposing rocks 2.7 billion years old at the bottom (for comparison, the Vishnu schist at the bottom of the Grand Canyon dates to about 2 billion years--the earth itself is about 4.6 billion years old). This is the essence of the shale revolution.. The Bakken shale has a total organic carbon content (TOC) which averages about 11%. It includes the Hugoton-Panhandle field, the Union City field and the Elk City field and is among the most prolific natural gas producing areas in North America. Dataset Reference Date 1972-12-30. Wells drilled here have been among the world's deepest. Sorry if this was OT. Coral Reefs are Dying Because of Climate Change, Coal Pollution Can Be Seen Pouring From Power Plant Smokestacks, Greenland Ice Loss Will Cause Dangerous Sea Level Rise, Sea Level Rise is Accelerating Dramatically, The Global Temperature Record Says We Are in a Climate Emergency, The 130-Degree F Reading in Death Valley Is A World Record, Unprecedented Heat Wave in Pacific Northwest was Driven by Climate Change. Other times, when plates collide, one plate can be lifted onto another. Earth history is like a giant jigsaw puzzle melded to a mystery story, and figuring out what has happened by looking for various clues is what geologists spend a lot of time doing. Last Updated: December 26, 2022. The Kola Peninsula. The depths on the chart are approximations based on a generalized geothermal gradient. Summary. 250 Mya? Of course, large quantities of oil are found in other ocean areas apart from just these two. Thats only done in very large fields in extreme conditions, say where water depth is over 100 meters and the seafloor is highly unstable, when developing offshore in areas where theres icebergs or sea ice, in very sensitive areas such as a swamp within a nature preserve, etc. BPs Tiber discovery on Keathley Canyon Block 102 logged oil pay below 30,000 TVD. The Collapse of Complex Societies by Joseph Tainter pdf The good stuff starts in Chapter 4. Those sediments are ex-mountains. including Medicare and Medicaid. She was a member of Jeter Chapel Baptist Church. If so, then please explain the geological process by which sediments form above sea level, excluding the minor contribution of wind-born sand and dust. If oil companies (or any businesses) used EROEI to guide their investment decisions, they would go out of business (unless the government was footing the bill). Yeap, Kyle M. Fischer, Randall S. Mathis, Exxon Neftegas; Michael J. Egan, consultant to Exxon Neftegas. At the maximum rate, this would only account for 2200 m of sedimentation over two hundred million years . Employment Separately, do you know if oil extracted from vertical depths greater than, say, 5,000 m (~16,000 ft TVD) below land/seafloor surface has ever been scientifically age-dated? Copyright to all articles and other content in the online and print versions of The Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History is held by the Oklahoma Historical Society (OHS). That is expensive digging! Places like the Great Salt Lake (the remains of a huge place called Lake Bonneville) are depositing a type of sediment called an evaporite at the margins and bottoms. Sulfur melts at about 116 C, which is not all that hot, so why did the bit melt, or was that misinformation? This is almost impossible to explain to a freshman geology student, much less people with no understanding of geology. Most of the seafloor has a thin veneer of sediment But, the depocenters have enormously thick sedimentary sequences. I suppose molten sulfur would count as economic basement. Red areas indicate ~20,000 meter sediment thickness. So the scientific ring leader alGore claims there are these incredibly hot rocks, several million degrees a couple of kilometers or so down. It is produced by bacterial action when hydrocarbons come into contact with sulfate minerals (which are plentiful in salt deposits). More loosely, outside the field of petroleum chemistry, the term cracking is used to describe any type of splitting of molecules under the influence of heat, catalysts and solvents, such as in processes of destructive distillation or pyrolysis. I would wager that more is being mined right at the surface today than at any point in history again, its technology and economics, not being forced to look elsewhere. The deeper you go, the hotter it becomes as you approach the Earths mantle, which, near its border with the crust, can reach temperatures of 1,000 degrees Celsius or 1,832 degrees Fahrenheit. The Gulf of Mexico has accumulated more than 60,000 of sedimentary column over the last 200 million years. Start Trading CFDs Over 2,200 Different Instruments, Ukraine Calls On Western Allies To Approve Delivery Of Advanced Weaponry. The measured depth (MD) of the worlds deepest oil well is over 40,000. Mud log from Well: BERTHA ROGERS 1 (2 LOGS) Operator: LONE STAR PRODUCING CO. Did the oil form directly under the sands and rock of the peninsula strictly due to sedimentation? As drillers gained experience with deeper wells, patent applications included hundreds of designs for catching some tool or part that had been broken or lost in the borehole. Natural gas (Henry Hub) = $2.70/mcf = $2.60/million Btu. Of course since it was in the tropics it didnt have the dynamics to be severe but Im sure if it had been over the island there would have been flooding. In Fairbanks, our Troth Yeddha' Campus is located on the ancestral lands of the Dena people of the lower Tanana River. Wow! . In March 1974 in far western Oklahoma, after 16-months of drilling and almost six miles deep, the Bertha Rogers No. Then jumped out with just a parachute. I have been in the real estate industry for over 15 years and I love being able to find the perfect home for any family. Geos tend toward TVD because its the only way to correlate the well with other wells and the seismic data. Hey..this sciency stuff is way too complicated but impresses the heck out of the Arts major who put it together. Im late to this post and made a comment that will appear above. Well, if you say Mt. Using nails and wax, an impression block helps determine what is stuck downhole. 500+ million years of subsidence and uplift resulted in the Devonian-aged (~360 Ma) Bakken formation (green/yellow layer) being at depths ranging from about -4,500 to -8,500 below sea level. I worked on a development plan which required platforms with two drilling rigs sitting over 28 well bays each. And further west, there is also a long history of various cycles and processes, including uplift, erosion, sedimentation, further uplift, etc. The problem I see is that rocks found below about 7 km of sediment tend to be low quality, temperature and pressure increase to the outer limits, and this hurts the economic returns to such an extent that looking for that deep oil can be a dicey business. If one says subduction, I say Mt. Simple sedimentary loading is one. It was the deepest hole in the world until it was surpassed by a well in the Soviet Union several years later, Dorman reports. Saint Helens, I say Saudia Arabia peninsula. Well, very deep. Bertha Rogers is a poet, translator, visual artist, and teaching artist. This mud log sample shows drilling rate and lithology from 4700 ft to . I spend money to fill my gas tank. I was not aware Larry had launched a new extreme sports craze, although it seemed to be a more recent development. Too bad about that guy in South America. There is no need for you to reply. My pay check, ChevronTexaco, ExxonMobil & Shell credit card statements and checks to the gas & electric companies arent denominated in joules, kilowatts or Btu They are denominated in $. Given the shear hysterics around AGM put around by people with very weak understandings of the sciences, who is surprised if they get the numbers wrong.who cares but isnt the graphic very pretty? If the energy return goes to less than about 12X the energy invested we are in trouble. Defenders of biotic origin oil are not worried about how dinosaur remains got to more than 5 miles below the Earths surface. The newest well at Chayvo extends deeper into the ground than planes can fly in the air. It would be nice if there was a filter to block the word abiotic, or at least the words dinosaur and maybe Gold from the comments in Daves posts. The rate of cracking and the end products are strongly dependent on the temperature and presence of catalysts. Anyway, when I first saw the graphic, I immediately thought of the story of Joe Kittinger, who went all the way up past 100,000 in a helium balloon back in 1960. People-Focused In both, its splitting molecular bonds. Privacy Policy, Main Campus Actually, the Earth does have a shell, called the crust. They eventually leak out or will eventually leak out. It is a world class source rock. Yosemite Park is a famous example of this. I had a fantastic weekend in OK City Luckily I didnt loose pressurisation otherwise I wouldnt be here to write this drivel! We were running a three inch drill string on the bottom section of the well and a four inch drill string on the top. Probably not. Memphis, TN 38104 For permission, contact us. A 2014 geologic map of 50,000 square mile Anadarko Basin showing thickness of strata courtesy U.S. Geological Survey. GHK Company and partner Lone Star Producing Company believed ultra-deep wells in Oklahomas Anadarko Basin could produce massive amounts of natural gas. IOW, whether or not such a material exists, and if it is occurring at a large volume, will not likely be settled by looking at sediments, but rather, IMO, by looking at where there are none. Original Published Date: June 1, 2006. On Russia's Kola Peninsula, near the Norwegian border at about the same latitude as Prudhoe Bay, the Soviets have been drilling a well since 1970. Slow moving currents in the layers under the crust push the plates around the planet over time. The Kola superdeep borehole, drilled in Russias Far East during the 70s and early 80s, was drilled simply to see how far into the ground we can go. Union is nationally recognized for Christ-centered academic excellence and exceptional value. I was just looking at one report of a storm near the Texas Mexico border than reached 75,000.
