On 6 June 1979, the world depth record held by the Bertha Rogers hole in Washita County, Oklahoma, United States, at 9,583 meters (31,440 ft), was broken. I can sort of understand the use of abiotic. But, dinosaurs implies that there isnt even a starting point for communication. 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. I was not aware Larry had launched a new extreme sports craze, although it seemed to be a more recent development. The most slots on a Spar platform is 20 on the Genesis A facility on Green Canyon 205 in 2,590 WD and on the Holstein A facility on Green Canyon 645 in 4,340 WD. Some parts of this region were only kind of swampy, or were large lakes, etc. So much they know, that is not so, is in most cases worse than outright ignorance. It is not emotional. 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. Small forges were often just feet from the well bore. (2000). I dont give energy back to the gas & electric companies in exchange for them being nice enough to heat and light my home. The oil formed after the source material was buried to a sufficient depth to raise the temperature to 60-175 C for an extended period of time. Max Clouds height obviously wrong, vertical drilling depths obviously wrong (um, length does not equal depth unless plumb vertical). Slow moving currents in the layers under the crust push the plates around the planet over time. Screams in the deepest borehole. This becomes the hydrocarbon source rock. And sometimes there are periods theres less river flow and carbonates are deposited on the sea floor as little critters die and their shells fall to the bottom. The most slots on a TLP (tension leg platform) is 32 on the Auger A facility on Garden Banks 426 in 2,860 WD. Theres probably a little bit of everything in crude oil Its just mostly algae and phytoplankton. Roughnecking jobs today are for sissies and weaklings. Now I hear they are leasing drilling beneath the gas pay zones. In many place around the globe oil is found below land surfaces that currently are hundreds to thousands of feet ABOVE sea level. I think Ill stop (commenting, not reading). And its not like petroleum explorationists have had to look deeper for oil, well look wherever the technology allows us to go. It is incredible to me people think oil comes from dead dinosaurs. Fourier maintained that the atmosphere acts like the glass of a hothouse, because it lets through the light rays of the sun but retains the dark rays from the ground. Much of the oil off the coast of places like Santa Barbara, California is now reachable from onshore drilling. The measured depth (MD) of the worlds deepest oil well is over 40,000. But if they know something that is falsewell good luck. In 2011, a 40,502-foot well was drilled offshore of the Russian island of Sakhalin. Or at least, such is my understanding, in a nutshell. Has any oil sample been found to scientifically date to prior to the beginning of the Triassic period, approx. The well set a world record and remains one of the deepest ever drilled. Ten years ago, the latest data from the Energy Information Administration shows, the average depth of U.S. exploration oil wells was almost 7,800 feet. 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 . All of the wells are tiebacks. Wells drilled here have been among the world's deepest. Given what I know, drilling below 10 thousand meters vertical depth is a waste of money. The depths on the chart are approximations based on a generalized geothermal gradient. ', British Volt Collapses intoAdministration, Climate Activism Isnt About the Planet. Doesnt the sulfur in matches contribute to acid rain? The materials provided on this Web site are for informational and educational purposes only and are not intended to provide tax, legal, or investment advice. 1 Sanders well in Beckham County became Oklahomas deepest natural gas producing well at 24,996 feet. This could possibly account for molten sulfur. 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. About as fast as fingernails grow. Spudded in November 1972 and averaging about 60 feet per day, the Bertha Rogers had been heading for the history books as the worlds deepest well at the time. Bertha was a daughter of the late Toy and Ada O'Quinn Jackson. Dates. Well fishing tools are constantly being improved and new ones introduced, explained David T. Day in his A Handbook of the Petroleum Industry in 1922. 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. It produced until 1997. In March 1974 in far western Oklahoma, after 16-months of drilling and almost six miles deep, the Bertha Rogers No. There is some technical speculation/research that a portion of earths crust melted when the planet type body hit earth and formed the moon. A pipe connection might bend. 1 reached a total depth of 31,441 feet where it encountered liquid sulfur. 1 Sanders well near Sayre became Oklahomas deepest gas producer at 24,996 feet. Fuel Fighter sells home heating oil in the UK Yet this has been treated as if it was an actual oil industry source. Other types of clouds can be even higher, like nacreous clouds as much as 82,000 Heres what Wikipedia says about Lawn Chair Larry. 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. Nearby this inland sea were large mountains that were lifted up and eroded away. This has never been observed anywhere else. Methane isnt oil. This is a place where a salt water sea exists, connected to the ocean but underlain by continental crust. Sadly, the story recounts that he committed suicide about 11 years later. We were running a three inch drill string on the bottom section of the well and a four inch drill string on the top. Then jumped out with just a parachute. Gasoline Prices Continue To Rise Even As Demand Slumps, Nickel Prices Face Bearish Production Forecasts, China's Vice Premier: Life Has Returned To Normal, Growth Will Return, Kazakhstan To Transport Oil To Germany Through Russian Pipeline, Germany's Energy Spending Could Drop If Power Prices Remain Low, OPECs December Production Jumped, But Remains Below Target, The Nord Stream Pipeline Could Be Repaired Within A Year, European And Indian Firms Show Interest In Guyanas Oil Boom, Saudi Aramco To Partner With Car Giants On Engine Business, Oil Prices Steady After China Releases GDP Data, China Coal Production Hits Record High In 2022, Davos Leaders: Global Recession Likely To Happen In 2023, U.S. Gas Prices Soar As Models Suggest Return Of Winter, U.S. Tesla Owners Fume About Massive Price Cuts, Indias Oil Imports From Russia Jump 33 Times To Record High, Germany Will Need To Hold Onto Coal Power For Longer, Hydrogen Company ITM Power Sees Shares Nosedive After Profit Warning, Spanish Utility Says Europe's Energy Crisis Isnt Over Yet, Iran Doubles The Price Of Its Oil Going To Syria, John Kerry: Natural Gas Boom Must Be Combined With Carbon Capture, Wyoming Proposes A Voluntary Phase-Out Of EV Sales By 2035, Equinor CEO: High Energy Bills Are Here To Stay For The UK, Germany's Energy Crisis Sends It Tumbling Down Investment Rankings, A Significant New Natural Gas Discovery Offshore Egypt, Chevron Sold Venezuelan Oil To Phillips 66, Big Oil Is Eyeing India For Big Investments, Nigeria Cancels LNG Shipments After Pipeline Vandalism, Tesla Drops After Cutting Model Y Prices In U.S. By 20%, Head Of Saudi Wealth Fund Will Not Testify In Defense Of Elon Musk, Kazakhstan Is Ready To Raise Oil Exports In 2023, U.S. Oil Major Looks To Recoup $10 Billion Debt By Selling Venezuelan Crude, U.S. Natural Gas Prices Plummet Despite Inventory Drop, How Far Have We Really Gotten With Alternative Energy, Russia Says Europe Will Struggle To Replace Its Oil Products, A Somewhat Realistic View of the Near Future for Electric Vehicles Worldwide, "Natural Gas Price Fundamental Daily Forecast Grinding Toward Summer Highs Despite Huge Short Interest" by James Hyerczyk & REUTERS on NatGas, US Oil Independence is a myth and will always be a myth, Oil Stocks, Market Direction, Bitcoin, Minerals, Gold, Silver - Technical Trading, Natural gas price to spike when USA is out of the market, "Biden Is Running U.S. Energy Security Into The Ground" by Irina Slav, *****5 STARS - "The Markets are Rigged" by The Corbett Report, The Federal Reserve and MoneyAspects which are not widely known, China Petrochemical Plant Shut After Huge Explosion, IEA Sees Global Oil Demand Hitting A Record High In 2023, Related: U.S. Shale Growth To Flatline Within 2 Years, Related: Forget Tesla, This Is The Most Impressive Electric Vehicle Of The Year, The Race To Develop A 50 Billion Barrel Oilfield, U.S. Shale Producers Slash Spending Once Again, Fukushima Set To Become A $2.7 Billion Renewable Energy Hub. Science is not an argument. In some places the crust wrinkled into mountains, at various times and places. The Sierra Nevada contains some of these types of features, which subsequent erosion brought to the surface. Their chief innovation was that, instead of turning the drill bit by rotating the stem, in the Kola well the bit alone was turned by the flow of drilling mud. Shells Perdido spar on Alaminos Canyon 857 in 7,835 WD has no slots. I do remember reading about the deepest hole ever drilled, and how it turned out to be a huge waste of money, but not sure if this was the same project? *Until 2004 the Bertha Rogers No. More than 500 of her poems have been published in literary journals, and she had received eight nominations for the Pushcart Prize. Indeed the reply is usually Well those are just your numbersand if I push the point further that they are not my numbers but the real data the reply is usually either that I work in the oil industry so am automatically biased or that they do not want to discuss this anymore with a denier or finally I get the nail in the head, the infantile consensus argument. 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. Most rotary fishing jobs were caused by twist offs (broken drill pipe), although the bit, drill coupling or tool joints may break or unscrew. Octane isnt even oil. The bull wheel, driven by the wells steam-powered drilling engine, exerted a tremendous strain on the assembled poles. As I think the author hints,, don't become too infatuated with the technology because it's expensive. And Im not even factoring in the compaction of the sediments as they pile up. When the derricks manila rope or wire line rope broke, a crewman lowered a hook and attempted to pull out the wells heavy iron bit. This was sometimes unpopular where wells were closely spaced. Its not a matter of ruling out abiotic oil. Wells. Or at least, ALSO of abiotic nature. Many lost tools that cannot be recovered are drilled up or side-tracked (driven into or against the wall) and passed in drilling, Day explained. Cracking in solids is essentially the same as the cracking of long chain hydrocarbons. It doesnt support the myth of abiotic oil in the slightest. 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. I recommend that you read up a bit on geology. Hope its obvious that that was for Gordon too. In addition to the important bearing that this discovery has on the general geophysical sciences, there is a potential economic impact. Crude oil cracks if exposed to temperatures above about 300F for an extended period of time. Notice where the two large areas with really thick sediments are: Gulf of Bengal and Mexican Gulf. Against all odds and employing the latest 1970s technology, Ponder was able to retrieve the pipe sections and drill bit from 30,019 feet down, bringing operations back on line and enabling drilling to continue even deeper into Oklahomas Anadarko Basin, at a site about 12 miles west of Cordell. Noctilucent clouds can be several times as high as nacreous clouds. 1050 Union University Drive They eventually leak out or will eventually leak out. 1 (July 1928). Chayvo Field, Sakhalin Island, Russia: Identification of a Significant Oil Leg From 3D Seismic and Execution of a World-Class Extended-Reach-Drilling Program. 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. It required about eight hours for bottom hole cuttings to reach the surface almost six miles above. Most recently, geologically speaking, the whole of the North American plate has been moving westward, and lands, island chains, small continents, pieces of ocean floor, etc, have been accreted onto the plate as it moved west and overran what used to be there. . UmJeff, pretty sure DM just gave you the opposite of a slang definition. Its not subduction. My company drills wells for oil & gas to make money. Deeper wells have been drilled for natural gas. Any place where materials from uphill are deposited becomes a sediment. The Kola Bore Hole Unfortunately for Lone Star, they didn't find any oil. Many of the executives had pieces of sulfur that were recovered from the Bertha Rogers well. The ultra-deepwater Lower Tertiary oil discoveries are well within the oil window. But I could not think of a single reason why the number listed would be any sort of limit, unless maybe it referred to a person with no oxygen in an open gondola. In other words, the true vertical depth of the well is less than 1 km or 3,280 feet. You had to stand spraddle-legged all the time to prevent getting your foot/ankle being cut off when the tripple fell and hit the derrick floor. At the maximum rate, this would only account for 2200 m of sedimentation over two hundred million years . My thought would be that the molten sulfur was either gaseous or liquid hydrogen sulfide or even sulfur dioxide. This led to the creation of the Bertha Rogers Hole. Or is oil at that depth not a liquid? What a memory. The Tiber wells depth - true vertical depth - was more than 35,000 feet. . BPs Tiber discovery on Keathley Canyon Block 102 logged oil pay below 30,000 TVD. The rate of cracking and the end products are strongly dependent on the temperature and presence of catalysts. Simple sedimentary loading is one. I know where oil does not come from, plants and dinosaurs at 40,000 feet. 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. The bottom hole temperature was 226 F. 1 (Anardarko basin, Oklahoma, U.S.)* . A 1974 souvenir of the Bertha Roger No. 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. Its currently producing about 60,000 bbl/d and 110 mmcf/d (~78,000 BOE/d) from 8 wells And its still ramping up. The reservoirs are relatively shallow, young (Miocene to Pliocene Epochs) and the entire total petroleum system is within the Neogene Period (less than 23 million years old. The maximum bottom hole temperature (213F) was encountered in the Mississippi Canyon (MC) 777 TF001 well, drilled by BP. Future-Directed, Employee Directory In 1980, the Oklahoma Historical Society and Oklahoma Petroleum Council dedicated a granite monument at Third and Pioneer streets in Elk City, Oklahoma. The tops of the extensive squall line were well over 10000ft above me! Wow! Deepwater facilities tend to not have a lot of slots because the wells are often drilled from subsea templates and tied back. The Hugoton Embayment of the Anadarko Basin is 5,000 feet vertical TD. The features we call mountains that are there now are actually the roots of mountains that were at one time deep undergroundmiles and miles underground. Bertha Rogers technically wasnt a dry hole. Its where the oil formed; not when it formed or where it was produced. Uplift occurs by any of several mechanisms. She was a former employee of Raytheon and retired from Bristol Tennessee School System after 24 years. This article takes us on a very interesting walk-about below ground. Youve gotta wonder how high they were when they made that graphic. All of these have bottomhole temperatures less than 300 F. (and the stress creates, among other things, the San Andreas Fault, the Sierra Madrea, and the Rockies). Irina is a writer for Oilprice.com with over a decade of experience writing on the oil and gas industry. 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. While they do not appear to based on directly dating the hydrocarbons, the geological strata referenced and those strata in which hydrocarbons have NOT been found in any significant quantity does, to me, seem to rule out the abiotic oil theory on the following grounds: Unfortunately, not all news sources on the internet are familiar with it, so if you Google the worlds deepest oil field, the top results will tell you its either the O-14 or one of its Chayvo predecessors. Did the oil form directly under the sands and rock of the peninsula strictly due to sedimentation? Oklahoma extracts the brine from a 9,800 feet (3,000 m) deep well. In any case, how much sediments exist and how they got there are not particularly germane to the question of the. We're home to five men's and six women's athletics teams and a variety of intramural sports opportunities. New ocean crust is always forming at the undersea places called mid-ocean ridges. MarkW, well, one fairly comprehensive research paper Variation of ocean sediment thickness with crustal age, by Peter Olson, Evan Reynolds, Linda Hinnov, and Arghya Goswami, published online 17 APR 2016, and available for download at https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/2015GC006143 ) Copyright 2022 Bruce A. Its About the Boredom of theBourgeoisie, Urbanization Effects on GHCN Temperature Trends, Part I: The Urbanization Characteristics of the GHCN Stations, Why Climate Skepticism Has Not Yet Succeeded, Surprise! A well that is 49,000 feet deep is, for example, deeper than the highest building in the worldthe Burj al Khalifa in Dubaiis tall. Severe ones are typically 50,000. It was a beauty. The Bakken shale members were deposited in a shallow marine environment under anoxic conditions. If you believe that water fills the pore space, how could you also think this? The sub word most relevant to sedimentation is subsidence although subduction can create accommodation space for sedimentation. Yeap, Kyle M. Fischer, Randall S. Mathis, Exxon Neftegas; Michael J. Egan, consultant to Exxon Neftegas. In June 6, 1979, one of the boreholes in Kola, SG-3, took the record. 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? Ghawars source rocks are an organic-rich Silurian shale formation. Much depended upon the skill and patience of the driller.. Commercial aviation, the natural progression for older fighter pilots, presented its own challenges mostly the enormous responsibility of having close to 400 souls counting on my experience and judgement every time I went to work. Heres a cross section of the Williston Basin in North Dakota. And the ones over the ITCZ in the deep tropics can be 80,000. Since then, numerous gas wells have been drilled there below the twenty thousand foot range, including the Lone Star Bertha Rogers in Beckham County. Join AOGHS and support historical content on this website. Other times the whole area was lifted up by compressional forces when continents collided, which is what raised the mountains to begin with. Several hundred of her poems appear in literary journals, anthologies, and in her poetry collections, including Wild, Again; Heart Turned Back; Sleeper, You Wake; Even the Hemlock; A House of Corners; and The Fourth Beast. I note that the NOAA graphic of total sedimentation across Earths oceans is generally consistent with the data presented in the Peter Olson, et. Hendersonville, TN 37075 UmJeff, pretty sure DM just gave you the opposite of a slang definition. David, thank you very much for the bar chart graphics from Grunau and Klemme & Ulmeshek. 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 oceans were in a totally different configuration when most of the source rocks were deposited. Bertha Rogers Executive Director at Bright Hill Press Inc Treadwell, New York, United States 500+ connections Contact Us The well was halted because it struck molten sulfur. My apologies to all. Actually, the Earth does have a shell, called the crust. 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. Just four days after the August 27, 1859, first U.S. oil discovery by Edwin L. Drake in Pennsylvanias valley that changed the world, a far less known oil industry pioneer began Americas second well to be drilled for petroleum. Shows the many dangers of the internet. abiotic theory of oil formation. Walker Ridge 758 Chevron #1 is the deepest active oil producer in the Gulf of Mexico; drilled to a true vertical depth (TVD) of 28,497 (8.7 km) in a water depth of 6,959. It has been directly answered several times. paper that I referenced above. The structure of the deep Earth is studied today by means that are more indirect. Join in!

Mann, Material on this website is copyright 2006-2022, by Anthony Watts, and may not be stored or archived separately, rebroadcast, or republished without written permission. Id hate to be pulling slips on that rig. That is expensive digging! Just-So stories in the garb of hypotheses support many current theories. Wells and K.L. 1 reached a total depth of 31,441 feet - where it encountered liquid sulfur. It generally cant exist at depths anywhere close to the mantle. Lindquist, Sandra J. However nearby hydrothermal vents with little to no sediment cover (rises) do not exhibit evidence of hydrothermal oil.. For more information, contact bawells@aoghs.org. 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. Individuals should consider whether they can afford the risks associated to trading. Natural gas (Henry Hub) = $2.70/mcf = $2.60/million Btu. Fuel Fighter Prior to this, the deepest well was the 31,441 feet deep Lone Star Producing Co. 1-27 Bertha Rogers well in Washita County, Oklahoma. He has patiently explained it many times. The project fell quite short of the Moho, reaching only 601ft below the sea floor in 12,000 feet of water. I have enjoyed it all and am now embarking on a more cerebral journey; equally as challenging! 2) No reasonable explanation for why hypothesized abiotic oil production would have peaked 70-200 Ma ago and declined since then. We seem to be living through a period of time where facts have become pass. Related: U.S. Shale Growth To Flatline Within 2 Years. Subduction, in geology, is the process whereby a tectonic plate is forced down into the mantle of the earth. Its Abiotic, Rockefeller had his hand in creating the label, Fossil Fuel Nonsense. At this point that has never, IFAIK, happened. Those are source rocks, not reservoir rocks. For permission, contact us. thats far short of the stated 3350 m (11,000 foot) true depth discovery of oil that I referenced. The layered zones made it practical to dill these very deep wells as a field. I suppose molten sulfur would count as economic basement. Research genealogy for Bertha Rogers of Faversham Kent England, as well as other members of the Rogers family, on Ancestry. Copyright to all of these materials is protected under United States and International law. I flamed out one engine in my F-4 at M1.6 (but very little indicated airspeed) at 65000ft on the TexArkana border. Its possible that crude oil-like substances can form at higher temperatures however, producible volumes of oil havent been found below the oil window. Nothing contained on the Web site shall be considered a recommendation, solicitation, or offer to buy or sell a security to any person in any jurisdiction. This process requires high temperatures and high pressure.[1]. Most of the seafloor has a thin veneer of sediment But, the depocenters have enormously thick sedimentary sequences. My interest was in meteorology. 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. 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 era of the gushers when oil didnt just flow out but burst out, is long over. People-Focused Deeper sediments below 15,000 feet remain virtually unexplored. Original Published Date: June 1, 2006. The rigs in North Dakota are large because supporting two miles of pipe takes a lot of steel. 2181 Union Ave. Union competes in NCAA DII and the Gulf South Conference. It has nothing to do with oil formation, although it is one of the ways that large amounts of potential source material has been lost. Actually hothouses dont work like Arrhenius thought. 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. In Arrhenius (1896, p. 237) we read: The MD vs TVD issue even evaded the notice of the American Oil & Gas Historical Society. Independent producer John West in 2006 preserved artifacts in the closed Anadarko Basin Museum of Natural History in Elk City, Oklahoma. This is a strawman written to knock down. . North American Brine Resources operates a plant near Dover, Oklahoma. This is a Forest Gump breakthrough. While several of the media reports and the Fuel Fix infographic allude to drilling sideways or extended-reach, they all seem omit the word vertical. And all of them leave the reader with the impression that this is the deepest oil well ever drilled. Well bore Leg from 3D Seismic and Execution of a slang definition 40,502-foot well was offshore. 60,000 bbl/d and 110 mmcf/d ( ~78,000 BOE/d ) from 8 wells and its not matter. Neftegas ; Michael J.
