PETE 3053 Quiz: PETE 3053 Test Notes.docx
Document Summary
Pete 3053 exam notes: geologic time scale: can be seen below, township & range: can be seen on the right, vertical well diagram (very important): Organic shale is self-sourcing, self-trapping and is a blanket reservoir; therefore, three of the criteria are automatically met for these types of formations. Definitions: kb (kelly-bushing height): distance from kelly-bushing to sea level, md (measured depth): measured distance along the path of a wellbore from the kb to the td (total depth of the well) or any correlation point in between. Pete 3053 exam notes: tvd (true vertical depth): vertical distance from the kb to any point in the subsurface, vertical wellbore: a well drilled 90 degrees to the horizontal reference, usually sea level (also called straight. Superposition: the law of superposition defines a layer of rock or sediment as younger than the one upon which it lies: cross cutting relationship: the older event is cut by the younger event.
