Genetic-Like Modelling of Hydrothermal Dolomite Reservoir Constrained by Dynamic Data

IPTC 2008: International Petroleum Technology Conference (2009)

Gérard Massonnat F. Cantin A. Virgone C. Fraisse C. Pabian-Goyheneche

Reliability of long-term production forecasts issued from reservoir simulations is strongly dependent on the quality of reservoir models on which fluid flows simulations are run. In carbonate reservoirs, the usual difficulty for building reliable models is emphasized by the natural complexity of the reservoirs : biological aspects of sedimentation make very complex the reservoir architecture, which is usually overprint by early or late diagenesis and/or fracturing. High perm streaks, as well as cemented barriers, that control well productivity and stability of displacement front during production, are usually the result of such diagenetic overprint. Ignoring these geological features while constructing reservoir models may lead to deliver models unable to match actual production history and to carry out reliable production forecast.

Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) as a tool for the assessment of karst features in carbonate aquifers.

Victor Clauzon Nolwenn Lesparre Véronique Leonardi Antoine Hurmic Pascal Brunet

In the Mediterranean Basin, most of the groundwater resources are located in carbonate aquifers. In the Montpellier area, southern France, several regional faults affecting these carbonate reservoirs control the location of the main flow paths and thus the groundwater flow. These faults zones are characterized by a strong anisotropy of permeability, sometimes induced by an offset between compartments on both sides of the fault. Fluid flow generally occurs preferentially in the fault-parallel direction. Fractures located in the damaged zone of these faults, partly responsible for this anisotropy, are also at the origin of karst features development. Thus, to identify the main permeability components of such fault zones, it is essential to identify- -(i) the structure of the damaged zone+ -(ii) the fault offset and, -(iii) the presence of karst features and their geometry. A methodology based on Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) was thus proposed with this purpose. It allowed -(i) to highlight en-echelon fracturing in the studied fault-zones+ -(ii) to identify the presence of karst feature and -(iii) to precise their geometry. Though the fault was a priori considered as a conduit-barrier, we demonstrated that groundwater flow across the fault probably occurs due to the en echelon offset of the fractures and that karst features preferentially located along bedding planes control most of the flow.

Ambient Seismic noise-based Groundwater Monitoring: A Comprehensive Overview

Christophe Voisin Stéphane Garambois Thomas Gaubert-Bastide Clarisse Bordes Daniel Brito

Groundwater plays a critical role in sustaining ecosystems, agriculture, and human activities. Effective groundwater monitoring is essential for assessing aquifer health and managing water resources. This abstract provides a comprehensive overview of the emerging approach of utilizing ambient seismic noise for groundwater monitoring. Ambient seismic noise, generated by natural and anthropogenic sources, has proven to be a valuable source of information for characterizing subsurface properties. This technique leverages the continuous and ubiquitous nature of seismic signals, providing a non-invasive and cost-effective means to monitor changes in groundwater levels and properties. The methodology involves analyzing the variations in seismic noise patterns collected by a network of sensors deployed in proximity to the groundwater monitoring area. Changes in subsurface conditions, such as water table fluctuations or alterations in aquifer properties, induce measurable variations in seismic velocity and attenuation. By employing advanced signal processing techniques, researchers can extract valuable information about groundwater dynamics, recharge rates, and aquifer characteristics. This abstract discusses key advantages of ambient seismic noise-based groundwater monitoring, including its ability to offer real-time data, continuous monitoring capabilities, and the potential for early detection of groundwater-related anomalies. Furthermore, the method's non-intrusive nature minimizes environmental impact and reduces the need for extensive drilling or intrusive measurements. The challenges and limitations associated with this approach are also addressed, highlighting the need for further research to optimize data processing techniques, improve resolution, and enhance the method's applicability across diverse geological settings. As the field of ambient seismic noise-based groundwater monitoring continues to evolve, this abstract underscores its potential as a valuable tool for enhancing our understanding of subsurface hydrological processes and advancing sustainable water resource management practices. The integration of ambient seismic noise into existing groundwater monitoring frameworks holds promise for revolutionizing how we assess and manage this vital component of the Earth's water cycle.

Coupling Forward Stratigraphic and Diagenetical Modeling as Input to Seismic Simulations of the Presalt Play

Proceedings (2016)

Gérard Massonnat M. Pellerin Caroline Planteblat

TOTAL R&D has developed a new approach to improve the understanding of the relations between geology and geophysics in presalt carbonate rocks. This approach is multi-disciplinary and integrates measurements and knowledge of carbonates at all scales, from grain to seismic scale, from low to high resolution. The core of the scientific problematic is to interlock sedimentology, stratigraphy and diagenetic processes together with rock physics and geophysics in a both forward and inverse sense.

Hydrogéologie en milieu fissuré et thermalisme- Etude du massif de Bramefarine et du nord du massif d'Allevard- La source thermominérale d'Allevard (Isère-France) - Alpes françaises.

HAL (Le Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe) (1981)

Gérard Massonnat

L'hydrogeologie en milieu fissure necessite, plus encore que dans d'autres milieux, une parfaite connaissance de la geometrie et de la structure du magasin. Des etudes poursuivies dans ce sens par de nombreux auteurs ont ete effectuees en milieu carbonate karstique ( L.KIRALI, 1969, J.C. GRILLOT , 1979) ou en milieu granito-gneissique ( J.AVIAS, 1967, F.O. FRANCISS, 1970, O.JAMIER, 1975), mais peu de chercheurs se sont penches sur le probleme des ecoulements souterrains dans des milieux ou, comme les schistes et les micaschistes, la presence d'une schistosite ou d'une foliation fine rend tres difficile l'etude de la fissuration. Cette difficulte de connaissance du milieu doublee de la difficulte d'observation d'ecoulements profonds a partir de la surface, entraine la necessite de surprendre les ecoulements lors de leur trajet, a l'occasion de l'execution de travaux souterrains. C'est ce que nous avons pu realiser grâce au percement de la galerie Arc-Isere. L'etude qui nous a ete confiee comportait donc deux buts: - la mise en evidence des directions et des modes d'ecoulements des eaux dans des milieux dont rien a priori ne permettait de penser qu'ils puissent etre favorables a des circulations profondes. Pour cela, nous nous devions de connaitre la structure intime des milieux consideres et la nature des circulations aquiferes qui les parcourent; - la connaissance hydrogeologique d'un secteur de la bordure occidentale du massif de Belledonne, dont l'etude globale entreprise par le laboratoire d'Hydrogeologie de l'Institut Dolomieu comptait deux precedents volets avec les travaux de M. MICHEL (1971) et G.PAPPINI (1976). Nous n'avons pas poursuivi ici un but strictement monographique, mais tente d'etablir une methodologie d'etude comparative surface-profondeur du milieu fissure avec, en conclusion ou plutoten application, l'etude d'un cheminement thermo-mineral.
