Office of the World Energy Resources Program. (2005). down the sun. Even then, the oil & gas arent permanently trapped. New patients are welcome. 615-447-2500, Germantown / Memphis Campus And then, this year, someone called out all the media who carried the Fuel Fighter infographic on their mistake. Noctilucent clouds can be several times as high as nacreous clouds. Lindquist, Sandra J. For example here is a cell dynamics video I randomly selected. I suppose molten sulfur would count as economic basement. From the article: The measured depth (MD) of the worlds deepest oil well is over 40,000. One other observation: the higher ratio of gas to oil in the deeper (older) strata compared to that in the more shallow (younger) strata is consistent with the cracking of liquid hydrocarbons to produce gaseous hydrocarbons due to increasing heat with depth. First a snippet of it for a teaser, then the link: The Greenhouse Effect was originally defined around the hypothesis that visible light penetrating the atmosphere is converted to heat on absorption and emitted as infrared, which is subsequently trapped by the opacity of the atmosphere to infrared. The well was plugged back and completed in the Granite Wash from 11,000 to 13,200 feet as a natural gas producer. At this point that has never, IFAIK, happened. Organic geochemical analyses of fine-grained rocks from the 9.590 km Bertha Rogers No. 1 well, which sought natural gas almost six miles deep in Oklahomas Anadarko Basin. Max Clouds height obviously wrong, vertical drilling depths obviously wrong (um, length does not equal depth unless plumb vertical). Jackson, TN 38305 Sorry if this was OT. I have a little desk plaque with two pockets one containing sulfur crystals and the other with rock cuttings from the Bertha Rogers Well. Many lakes exist at very high places. Over most of the past 500 million years, the Williston Basin has experienced subsidence (sinking); however it has undergone several periods of uplift associated with episodes of mountain building (orogenies). 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. And would you please compare the areal extent of Mt. 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. This was sometimes unpopular where wells were closely spaced. Given what I know, drilling below 10 thousand meters vertical depth is a waste of money. Warren County roadside marker photo. Terrific post. Its hard to believe there has been that much vertical movement in Earths surface (i.e., two miles subduction) over the last several hundred thousand to several hundred million years. I was at a lecture regarding super-volcanoes the Bruneau/Jarbidge in sw Idaho. 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. 731-668-1818, Hendersonville / Nashville Campus I note that the NOAA graphic of total sedimentation across Earths oceans is generally consistent with the data presented in the Peter Olson, et. Copyright to all of these materials is protected under United States and International law. The structure of the deep Earth is studied today by means that are more indirect. There is only one possible solution to make the paradoxes go away. Oil does not come from plants and dinosaurs at 40,000 feet. Algae and phytoplankton arent dinosaurs and are not exactly plants either. The raw material in Cretaceous source rocks was deposited during the Cretaceous Period. Am I still allowed to use a lighter to light my cigarette or do I need to go back to matches? I especially like how they depict it as soil the entire way down. Bess Mills-Bullard, Digest of Oklahoma Oil and Gas Fields, Oklahoma Geological Survey Bulletin 40, Vol. The downhole tool assemblies could no longer be lifted and dropped. Its not subduction. That guy was brave. Horizontal drilling and fracing have enabled the direct production of oil from this source rock. The San Andreas is a transform fault, and the land on the west side of it, including Baja California and the southern coast of CA including San Diego and Los Angeles, is actually part of the Pacific plate. In re-energizing America, Anadarko will not yield its gas easily or briefly. The main target depth was set at 15000 m. On 6 June 1979, the world depth record held by the . This could possibly account for molten sulfur. Mrs. Bertha Mary Rogers of South Boston, VA died Thursday, December 1st at the age of 82. He does seem to have the height of Everest at least approximately right. World record for a hot air balloon flight 21,000ft Er wrong, by a factor of more than 3! The Tiber wells depth - true vertical depth - was more than 35,000 feet. A few hundred million years is a lot of time for sediment to build up. They were 17,000 deeper than the deepest hydrocarbon bearing formation in the well. Actually there might theoretically be a little bit of ex-dinosaur in oil. As I think the author hints,, don't become too infatuated with the technology because it's expensive. By the early 1900s, rotary drilling introduced the hollow drill stem that enabled broken rock debris to be washed out of the borehole. Research genealogy for Bertha Rogers of Faversham Kent England, as well as other members of the Rogers family, on Ancestry. Because of dangerous downhole conditions, including corrosive pockets of hydrogen sulfide, the historic well had to be completed at a shallower depth. Searching for oil was less an earth science and more an art in the exploration and production industrys earliest days. Think Mount Everest. The production well, referred to as O-14, was completed in 2017 by Rosneft and Exxon, beating five previous world records for deepest wells, all drilled at the same field: Chayvo. However, if hydrocarbons (both gas and liquid) tend to percolate/migrate upward against gravity, as others have mentioned, one wonders what mechanism/geology is so effective at preventing gas diffusion for as long as 400 million years? Wells drilled here have been among the world's deepest. In October 1982, the first hole reached 11,662 metres (38,261 ft), [5] and the second hole was started in January 1983 from a 9,300 metres (30,500 ft) depth of the first hole. It has been an intracratonic depression since at least the Cambrian Period >500 million years. Water and halite (salt) are less dense than most rocks. UUAlerts This becomes the hydrocarbon source rock. There is a difference between a wells actual vertical depth and the total depth of a well that is drilled first vertically and then at an angle from the vertical hole. ROBERT ALEXANDER HEFNER III, PETROLEUM INDUSTRY. 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. As long as its economically viable. Those that hit one of the deep productive zones had an extremely long production life for a gas well, and still had all the remaining upper zones remaining to complete in the future. The Wikipedia on that borehole says that the sulfur melted the drill bit, and that is why they stopped? https://youtu.be/TEpKNla63Kw. This is simply wrong. Much of which wound up under the Gulf of Mexico as beautiful 30% porosity, 1,000 milidarcy permeability reservoir rock. . In terms of vertical depth, though, BPs Tiber field in the Gulf of Mexico, drilled by the infamous Deepwater Horizon, became the location for the deepest oil well. contrast them as you understand their similaritiesand differences. 1) No reasonable explanation for why hypothesized abiotic oil production would not have existed sometime prior to about 500 Ma ago, given Earths approximate age of 4,500 Ma. 1 barrel of crude oil = 5,722,000 Btu The Kolas well depth is comparable with the distance across Jackson. 2022 Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks. South of Burns Flat in Washita County, their Bertha Rogers No.1 would reach almost six miles deep in 1974 after a deep fishing trip. About as fast as fingernails grow. Remains of birds (which are dinosaurs) are slightly more common. Some of these magmas were huge. He launched from downtown Bombay, India, and landed 240 km (150 mi) south in Panchale.. As an Amazon Associate, AOGHS earns a commission from qualifying purchases. 21, 2017, 7:33 PM. But I invite scientists more knowledgeable than me to comment on this. All you need for a sediment to form is a place with a higher elevation, and then erosion, and then time. In 2008, an oil well was drilled to 40,318 feet in Qatar. [4], Oil-exploratory borehole in Washita County, Oklahoma, United States, "Summary of Deep Oil and Gas Wells and Reservoirs in the U.S.", "Oklahoma Corporation Commission completion report (form 1002A) dated September 3, 1974", https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bertha_Rogers&oldid=1071960965, Buildings and structures in Washita County, Oklahoma, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License 3.0, This page was last edited on 15 February 2022, at 07:42. It wasnt the last time Lone Star/Enserch turned an exploration well into a science project/engineering demonstration. 205 Indian Lake Blvd. The maximum bottom hole temperature (213F) was encountered in the Mississippi Canyon (MC) 777 TF001 well, drilled by BP. Among the fishing tools at the mans feet are 3.5-inch iron poles, each 20 feet in length and weighing 500 pounds. When the overburden consists of 8,000 of seawater and 2,000 of halite, 30,000 of overburden weighs a lot less than it does when its all composed of more dense rocks. Myth applied to the abiotic oil theory seems a little off-base if one cannot otherwise explain finding oil at such depths below where it is postulated to have first originated. The deeper you drill, the greater both the pressure and the resistance. Digging a hole straight down would seem to be the most effective way to study the Earths interior. Bertha Rogers is a poet, teaching artist, and founding director of Bright Hill Press and Literary Center in New York's Catskill Mountain Region. The Lone Star Producing Company 1-27 Bertha Rogers hole or well was an oil-exploratory hole drilled in Washita County, Oklahoma in 1974, and was the world's deepest hole [2] until it was surpassed in 1979 by the Kola Superdeep Borehole, dug by the USSR. The American Petroleum Institute has a secret spy agency taking care of individuals who come close to the abiotic oil secret. Then again, are we not all reminded over and over again how many people there are who have pretty much zero actual scientific knowledge? Nicholas McGinley, thank you for your patient, in-depth explanations that have educated me, the a freshman geology student, with no understanding of geology. After five years, the Kola well had reached 7km (about 23,000ft). According to what we have learned this week, thereare three ways to approach an argument. It is simply not the same as the true vertical depth that would have lent credence to all those amazing comparisons with buildings and flight heights. Are the only acceptable fuels for people are the things they eat but not the fuel that powers machines used to help grow and harvest what people eat? Most rotary fishing jobs were caused by twist offs (broken drill pipe), although the bit, drill coupling or tool joints may break or unscrew. Of course, large quantities of oil are found in other ocean areas apart from just these two. The largest number I have heard of is 50 something wells from an offshore platform. Notice where the two large areas with really thick sediments are: Gulf of Bengal and Mexican Gulf. I have enjoyed it all and am now embarking on a more cerebral journey; equally as challenging! BTW, that chart did list the highest height for a hot air balloon, but not for a guy in a lawn chair with a six-pack of Miller beer. hard to believe there has been that much vertical movement in Earths surface? It is incredible to me people think oil comes from dead dinosaurs. The Chayvo prospect was first identified on 2d seismic surveys in 1971, drilled in 1979 and assessed as a gas resource in 1982. The Lone Star Producing Company 1-27 Bertha Rogers hole or well was an oil-exploratory hole drilled in Washita County, Oklahoma in 1974, and was the world's deepest hole until it was surpassed in 1979 by the Kola Superdeep Borehole, dug by the USSR. I think the question is not subduction, but the vertical extent of sedimentation, no? Get to know us - Dr Bertha Rogers At our practice in Oxford Circus (W1W), all of our therapists are qualified psychologists, psychotherapists or counsellors. Its in Russia, off Sakhalin Island and it extends 15 km or 49,000 feet into the ground. UA is committed to providing accessible websites. 1 in Washita County, drilled in 1971 to 31,441 feet, was then the worlds deepest well. Were sticking needles deep into Mother GAIA!!!! Perhaps the most well-known effort to pierce the Earth is Project Mohole (began in 1961), which was an attempt to drill through the Earths crust in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Mexico where the crust is shallow. The Kola super-deep borehole wasnt drilled for hydrocarbons. Horizontal wells drilled to tap poor quality rocks have to be designed considering the possible use of artificial lift equipment, and this imposes restrictions on the well radius of curvature and other issues. The second drilling campaign at the Chayvo field, located offshore Sakhalin Island, targeted a new reservoir zone using extended-reach wells from onshore. thats far short of the stated 3350 m (11,000 foot) true depth discovery of oil that I referenced. The GI is located on the West Ridge of the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus. At 31,441 feet, the Bertha Rogers well held a record at the turn of the twenty-first century as the world's deepest producing well. The jars, essentially and universally used in fishing with cable tools, consist off two heavy forged-steel links, interlocking as the links of a cable chain, but fitting together more snugly, he added. I was going to check on those others, figuring they may all be wrong. Other times, when plates collide, one plate can be lifted onto another. Fingernails can grow a lot in 4,500,000,000 years. It is not uncommon for people to get stuff wrong, and not very surprising. I dont spend energy to fill my gas tank. In. They are registered with several professional bodies, including the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), the British Psychological Society (BPS), as well as, BACP, UKCP and BABCP. 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. 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. natural gas? In 1979, the No. 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. Germantown, TN 38138 Individual users must determine if their use of the Materials falls under United States copyright law's "Fair Use" guidelines and does not infringe on the proprietary rights of the Oklahoma Historical Society as the legal copyright holder of The Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and part or in whole. All of these have bottomhole temperatures less than 300 F. She was born October 2, 1933 in English, West Virginia. Metal and inorganic surfaces can act catalytically, however. The great expense and technological expertise necessary to complete gas wells at these depths has made the Anadarko Basin the domain of the major petroleum corporations, and at the close of the twentieth century . Recommended Reading:History Of Oil Well Drilling(2007); The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money & Power (1991);The Extraction State, A History of Natural Gas in America(2021). Seriously, the Russians were right all along, oil is obviously of abiotic nature. Red areas indicate ~20,000 meter sediment thickness. Greenhouse Effect noun the trapping of the suns warmth in the planets lower atmosphere, due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planets surface. 2) No reasonable explanation for why hypothesized abiotic oil production would have peaked 70-200 Ma ago and declined since then. The measured depth (MD) of the worlds deepest oil well is over 40,000. I dont give a rats @$$ if 1 barrel of amoeba farts uses less energy to produce than 1 barrel of crude oil Because the barrel of amoeba farts costs $1,100 and cant be produced in sufficient quantities to be waiting for me at the Chevron, Texaco, Exxon or Shell station when I need it. Hes completely on top of his subject and a master of communication. And nothing beyond the smile. At the maximum rate, this would only account for 2200 m of sedimentation over two hundred million years . If the energy return goes to less than about 12X the energy invested we are in trouble. I dont give energy back to the gas & electric companies in exchange for them being nice enough to heat and light my home. Thanks for this precautionary tale of internet inaccuracies, illustrating succinctly why skepticism is an intrinsic part of a rational mind. They drilled assuming it was an overthrust, and tried drilling through the granite, You can see the entire Anardako geological sequence on the road cuts as you drive I35 through the Arbuckle Mountains, the zones are laying sideways, Walk toward the fire. Its mind-boggling that you seem to think its clever. Probably not. The combination of thick layers of salt and deep water depths enable oil to exist at depths previously unexpected. Its more like a very large trampoline where rivers dump enormous amounts of sand and mud, driving it down with their weight. In our close-knit learning community, top-tier academics and Christian faith are integrated in 100 programs of study. 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. We seem to be living through a period of time where facts have become pass. [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. EROEI is just about the dumbest concept to ever come out of academia. 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. Any place where materials from uphill are deposited becomes a sediment. And the ones over the ITCZ in the deep tropics can be 80,000.
