Msc Hydrocarbon E&P Data Management, Studies Finished, 2016-2019, Master Thesis Ongoing
Geodesist Engineer (Geodesy, GIS, Remote Sensing, Cartography)
Areas of great interest for mineral exploitation at the Orinoco Mining River Arc, are being studied through mineral exploration studies, prospecting methods such as remote sensing and geophysical are being used to determine patterns of diagnostic minerals from potential mining areas and then computing the reserves at the subsurface, in this case we have started to use optical and radar images, such is the case of the ASTER and Sentinel-1-2 sensors as well as field spectrometry for the measurement of spectral signatures, pegmatite minerals associated to coltan were determined
Modeling studies of thermal anomalies using remote sensing (ASTER, LANDSAT) on known oil reservoirs in the orinoco oil belt, indicate the coincidence of negative thermal anomalies in the center of the reservoir, data from wells and depths reached from successful and unsuccessful targets, are used to define trend patterns, which will be used to replicate such trends of negative anomalies (coldest anomalies Temp in Kelvin) in unexplored areas even for future oil exploration areas which could save significant large costs minimizing risk explorations.
PDVSA in this 2019 plans to acquire 54 thousand Sq Km of 2D Seismic Multiclient on the Venezuelan offshore, so as to generate added value to the business portfolio for future bids round for offshore blocks, the differents exploratory studies of offshore sedimentary basins will be enriched with studies of oilseeps detected with remote sensing technology (Radarsat-1, Alos PALSAR, Sentinel-1, LANDSAT-8, Senstinel-2, VRSS-1 and VRSS-2, altimetry satellite Topex, Jason, Sentinel-, Ocean-2) and are integrating with satellite gravimetric models, geological profiles interpretations from the seismic lines, generating patterns and objectives of new exploratory opportunities.
The Eastern Falcon Basin in Venezuela, in a re-exploration project, multiple studies were carried out in order to generate new exploratory opportunities, in the case of the remote sensing, ASTER and SENTINEL-2 images were processed using principal components, crosta method, SAM and MNF in conjunction with measurements of spectral signatures in minerals and vegetation to determine areas of mineral alteration which were integrated with seismic information and potential gravimetric methods.
In this case, we used the PROSPECTIR -VS camera of SpecTIR company, where 4000 sq km of 350 hyperspectral bands were acquired in the 350-2500 nm region, maps of hydrocarbon index were generated, altered vegetation index by hydrocarbons were computed, campaign of measurements of spectral signatures were carried out in conjunction with sampling of soil and vegetation, biochemistry studies were performed, integration into a GIS with 2D seismic lines and geological information for later generate potential areas of hydrocarbons.
In exploratory areas with low seismic coverage and wells, application of radiometric unconventional methods was useful towards documenting and reduce explorations risk in Mountain Front Guárico, Venezuela. This study was made possible by the analysis of multispectral images of the ASTER and LANDSAT 8 satellites, combined with spectral signatures taken in the field, carried out on rock samples in the laboratory and a database of spectral characteristics of alterations minerals. Integration with geological and petroleum system information using geographic information systems allowed the delineation of areas with spectral anomalies, called areas "Positive Spots". In this contribution we present geographic areas with spectral anomalies associated with hydrocarbon surface manifestations. It is noteworthy that most of these positive anomalies have some trends that aligned to geological structures of folds, faults and landslides in northeast-southwest orientation. At the same time, a good proportion of them are overlapping areas delineated as exploratory opportunities. The integration of geological, geophysical and remote sensing data allowed to correlate the areas with positive anomalies with areas of interest, migration paths and geological structures, allowing documenting one of the elements of the petroleum system
More than 462 linear km of LIDAR surveys on oil infrastructure and future oil pipeline corridors, 41,584,00 ha were surveyed with the LIDAR system. QC of orthophotos, intensity images, LAS, DSM and DTM files generated, using GNSS, RTK measurements, geoidal models, so that the generated products were consistent with 1:1000 scale.
Data were processed from ASTER, Hyperion, Radarsat, SPOT5, LANDSAT-7 sensors where spectral and thermal anomalies were generated, spectral signatures with the ASD FielSpec3 equipment were surveyed in field, DRX studies were used to validate mineral alterations zone, Field Geology, thematic maps of land use classification were generated too, in order to generate oil exploration areas integrated in a GIS, this information has been used by exploratory projects in order to mature some plays
For the international Projects for PDVSA Exploration in Cuba, Argentina, Bolivia, jamaica, Ecuador, Guyana**, were built every geospatial datapacks with cultutal, geodesy, geology, geophysics and any kind of exploration data for support the projects using geointelligence analysis
Using techniques of analysis of digital processing of satellite images, supervised classification (specifically vegetations protected by national environmental regulations), generation of sub-products DEM and their integration with GIS, we were able to provide it before the seismic survey operations, analysis of slopes map on seismic 2D preplots lines, human and environmental obstacles were detected, integration with the information base of the lines of high electrical Power and thus to minimize the risks explorations and the safety of the operations of seismic surveys, also we could realize 3D modeling with the DEM for the placement of the Bases Stations RTK for a better use of the measurements GNSS and a better reception in the operations.
