he multi-bill ion barrel OOIP Lisburne Field (27.5km max length: 14.2km max width;

~360km2) was discovered in 1968 by the Prudhoe Ray State #1 well. The field is an oil accumulation (27°API gravity) with gas-cap, and is operated by BP with ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, and Chevron as working interest owners. It consists of the Wahoo (Early Pennsylvanian) and Alapah (Late Mississippian) mixed carbonate-clastic-evaporite reservoir. To date, six delineation wells and 95 development wells have been drilled from six surface pads (L1, L2, L3,L4, L5. and LGI-1). As of 2008, 17 wells are active producers and 3 wells arc gas re-injectors. Field production is by pressure depletion and gas-cap expansion. Total withdrawals have not been volumetrically replaced by gas re-injection, so current field pressure is about half of original pressure (4300psi). First oil was produced in 1985. Field production peaked in 1988 at about 47KBD and declined to under 10KBD by 1997. Since then, production has varied from 5 to 13KBD. Well tests, spinner surveys, and temperature logs have been run in various wells, and tracer experiments were conducted between wells of the L2 drilling pad. L2 pad was the location for a water injection pilot from 1988-90. Because of declining production, the WIOs commissioned a field recharacterization study in 2009 for the purpose of redevelopment planning. As a result of the study, water injection pilots commenced in 2011 for pressure maintenance and secondary recovery in the L3 and L5 pads.

The 2009-2010 Wahoo reservoir study included geologic description, static modeling and dynamic simulation. This talk addresses the

A New Depositional and Sequence Stratigraphic Architecture for the Lisburne Wahoo Reservoir

depositional and sequence stratigraphy aspects only. Within the Lisburne Field area, the Wahoo Formation unconformably overlies the Alapah Formation with minimal time gap. It is unconformably overlain by the Kavik Shale (late Permian). In the field area, the Wahoo is subdivided into seven lithostratigraphic carbonate zones (ranging from 0 to thick due to post-depositional erosion to upwards of ~35m thick) that are numbered from 1 at base to 7 at top. The carbonate zones are separated by regionally extensive green to gray shales (1 to 7m thick). The basal Wahoo shale is informally named the Green Shale (I8 to 20m thick). Across the field, the Wahoo Formation ranges in thickness from 230 to 275m. To the north, the Wahoo is absent due to pre-Permian erosion. To the east, the Wahoo is absent due to Early Cretaceous erosion. To the south, the Wahoo thickens to more than I500m due to Early Pennsylvanian differential subsidence and deposition in the basinward direction. Carbonate units thicken and shales thin and pinch-out basinward.

Based on core descriptions from 17 wells across the field, a diverse assemblage of depositional facies was recognized and grouped into 11 major depositional environments: 1) Inner Ramp Subtidal Lagoon; 2) Inner Ramp Subtidal Channel; 3) Inner Ramp Intra-Lagoon Tidal Bars; 4) Inner Ramp Tidal Pass: 5) Inner Ramp Back-Barrier Tidal Flats; 6) Barrier Island; 7) Beach and Foreshore; 8) Upper Shoreface: 9) Lower Shoreface; 10) Outer Ramp; and 11) Open Shelf. Extrapolations were made for interpreted EODs outside the field area to complete the full depositional profile. For the entire profile, six large-scale depositional systems were defined: 1) provenance uplands, 2) fluvial, 3) inner ramp tidal lagoon / estuary - 0 to 10m water depth, 4) inner ramp - +10m elevation to 60m water depth, 5) outer ramp - 60 to 200m water depth, and 6) basin - >200m water depth.

Integrating facies details, interpreted EODs, and regional to global-scale paleogeographies enabled development of a new Lishurne Wahoo depositional profile: a svn-tectonic, asymmetrically crenulated, distally steepened, perennial-thermocline, cool-water ramp with updip meta-sedimentary basement highlands to the north (present-day direction) and rapidly subsiding basin to the south. The field area occupies the inner/outer ramp shallow marine transition between the clastic provenance uplands to deep marine basin. Across the field, six "informally named" local depositional paleogeographic areas are defined: central embayment (L3

pad); west flank (L2 pad); east flank (L4 pad); northeast ramp (L5 pad); northwest ramp (L1 and LGI pads): and north central ramp (L1 to L5 pads). Resolution of four sedimentologic and depositional "problems", previously unaddressed, provided insights and constraints for building the new depositional model and sequence stratigraphic framework: 1) shale variability, 2) warm-water ooid versus cool-water skeletal grain assemblages, 3) numerous exposure features versus none in closely-spaced wells, and 4) absence of carbonate buildups or mounds.

The new sequence stratigraphic architecture for the Wahoo reservoir that underpins the reservoir zonation scheme consists of three nested hierarchical levels. The Wahoo lithostratigraphic Carbonate Zones numbered 1 to 7 and that are separated by regional shales are subdivided into ten (10) 3rd-order composite icehouse sequences (roughly 400kyr each). Zones 1, 2 and 4 consist of two 3rd-order sequences each; zones 3, 5, 6, and 7 consist of one 3rd-order sequence each. Third-order composite icehouse sequences comprising Carbonate Zones 4, 5, 6, and 7 are subdivided into 4th-order high-frequency icehouse sequences (HFS) that are roughly 100kyr each: Zone 4

9 HFS's; Zone 5

5 HFS's; Zone 6

4 HFS's; and Zone 7

4 HFS's. Each 4th-order HFS is partitioned into three systems tracts (LST, TST, and HST).

Observations of numerous exposure surfaces within the carbonate intervals updip and outside of the central embayment and of none identified within the central embayment, plus the interpretation of 75 m amplitude high-frequency icehouse eustatic sea level oscillations result in the geometric construction of central embayment-restricted HFS lowstands with ramp depositional dips of 0.5° to 2°. Transgressive and highstand systems tracts are best developed outside of the central embayment with only thin, mud-dominated basinal equivalents. It appears that the west and northwest embayment flanks experienced a different subsidence rate than the east and northeast embayment flanks because interval thicknesses, facies types (including elastics), and number of exposures arc different between them. The new sequence stratigraphic architecture defines systems tracts that pinch-out, and provides the correlation framework that demonstrates beds within the parasequences comprising the systems tracts have limited areal extent. Depositional strike is not linear from east to west. Rather it is curved and sinuous, and parallels the central embayment rim. Depositional dip is not unidirectional to the south, but rather appears to be convergent toward the center of the central embayment. The new depositional model and stratigraphic reservoir architecture have resulted in very good simulation history match, and thus provide a strong geologic basis for planning field re-development.

About the Speaker: Jim Markello is a Senior Technical Consultant with ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company, Houston, Texas, and specializes in Carbonate Systems worldwide. He has 33 years of industry experience and has worked as carbonate geology researcher, consultant, and in-house field school instructor for the technology divisions of Superior Oil, Mobil, and ExxonMobil since 1981. Jim got his start in carbonate geology during his undergraduate years at the University of Rochester in NYS (1976 BS Geology and Biology). Instead of attending traditional field camp he had to complete a semester of carbonate-centric modern studies at the Fairleigh Dickinson Research Lab, St. Croix, USVI. From the Modern, he moved to the base of the Paleozoic and worked the Upper Cambrian carbonates of SW Virginia for a MS of Geology (1979) at Virginia

Tech. During hi research tenure in industry, Jim has focused work on the Phanerozoic carbonates of North and South America, Middle East, and the North Caspian. During 1992-1999 he helped lead a team that completed a systematic evaluation of carbonate reservoirs worldwide (Carbonate Analogs Through Time), and as an outgrowth of the study, completed three AAPG Distinguished Lecture tours in the USA and Middle East during 2005-2006. From 2009-2011, he participated in a 3-company team (EM, BP, CP) to conduct a re-characterization of the Lisburne Wahoo Reservoir, North Slope for the purposes of revitalizing the field.

From the President s Desk

The fireweed clock reminds all of us that the AGS is ready to restart its annual program of monthly presentations. I hope that everyone has enjoyed this current summer. To say the least, it has been quite eventful with respect to geological matters. I hope I don t go too long or forget or misrepresent what s been happening around here. Firstly, we are glad to see that Katherine Bull and Robert Gillis of the DGGS are no worse for wear after their recent experience on Maynard Mountain. It seems that adverse weather provided an added dimension to their investigation of landslide potential. Fieldwork in Alaska equates to never a dull moment! I hope they can provide us with a talk about what they encountered. Also, we ve had a summer where Cleveland volcano has erupted ash a couple of times, and Little Sitkin which is about 1,400 miles (+/-) west of Anchorage, has experienced some swarms of seismic activity. It s a caldera which is reported to have erupted dacitic lava in 1828. Here again, I think these events would make for an enlightening AGS presentation or two. We also had a report of a glacier-burying, long run out landslide at

Lituya Mountain. The brief news coverage that I saw looked incredibly interesting. Perhaps there s a future presentation there, also. Ed Duncan of Great Bear brought Dr. Scott Tinker up to Alaska to speak about the Energy Switch Project. There are a couple of dozen videos on the website that illustrate various facets, magnitudes, issues and resources of our energy consumption budget. These multi-topical videos are brief but very educational (http://www.switchenergyproject.com/index.php).

AGS also had the good fortune of a bonus presentation this summer. Ms. Merrik Tonstein, a former Fairbanksian and UAF grad who is now with Statoil, had a presentation on the various challenges that affect the development of the Shtockman undersea gas project in the remote and northern Barents Sea. It doesn t take a genius to appreciate that Alaska shares a lot of those same kinds of challenges. She also mentioned that she can both surf and ski at 68 degrees north where she lives in Norway. And of course, I had to ask her about the

Volume 43 Number 1 September 2012 Page 4

upper Jurassic, Mjolnir (Thor s Hammer) impact event in the Barents Sea. Perhaps a little less geological but completely cool, Anchorage had a couple of presentations on cosmology by Dr. Brian Schmidt. He merely headed up the team that received the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics (Astronomy) for detecting and measuring that our Universe s expansion is accelerating! Talk about the curiouser getting curioser! Yes, this is Dark Energy and it s a growing part of the Universe s fabric. Dr. Schmidt s also a Bartlett High graduate (1985). If there was a dull moment during this summer, I am not aware of it. I also know that there are several AGS members who are somewhat worse for wear and not able to get around. Let s hope they can recover quickly.

Late-breaking news: There s rumored to be an AGS Technical Conference at UAF, Sept. 22 and 23. Unfortunately, there are no further details available on the UAF website at this time. We re trying to find out more.

Geologist III position: The Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys is recruiting for a Geologist III to join its statewide Energy Resources program in Fairbanks. This is a permanent full-time position offering the successful candidate the opportunity to conduct geologic mapping and basin analysis projects related to hydrocarbon resource assessment across diverse terranes throughout Alaska. Application for this position closes on September 17, 2012. Please visit the state Workplace Alaska website for more details on this position and to apply online.

ALASKA FOSSIL OF THE MONTH

THE UPPER CRETACEOUS BIVALVE INOCERAMYA CONCENTRICA ULRICH,

1904

by Robert B. Blodgett, Anne D. Pasch, & Greg F. Durocher

The subject of this month s column is the uppermost Cretaceous (early Maastrichtian) bivalve Inoceramya concentrica Ulrich, 1911, which is limited in distribution to the oceanic trench deposits represented by the Valdez Group and its equivalents, the Yakutat Group and Kodiak Formation situated along the present-day southern coastal margin of Alaska. We selected this taxon and another associated inoceramid bivalve for discussion because they should have great interest to geologists living in south-central Alaska. The seeming lack of easily obtainable megafossils locally in the Chugach and Kenai Mountains has long been a great source of disappointment. Obviously these flysch-dominated ranges, like most flysch sequences globally, would not be considered to be prime hunting groups for the ardent fossil collector and rock hound. The lack of fossils had even convinced Martin (1926, p. 487) in his then definitive study of the Mesozoic of Alaska to suggest that these rocks were of Paleozoic age. However, recent rereading of an article by Jones and Clark (1973), who documented the local occurrence of inoceramid bivalves in these uppermost Cretaceous rocks in southern Alaska, gives a glimmer of hope to ardent fossil seekers. We highly recommend interested parties read this article, and if one does not have an easy access to the journal, one can write to Blodgett (RobertBBlodgett@yahoo.com

) for a PDF copy.

Jones and Clark note that the while megafossils are not common in the Upper Cretaceous trench deposits of southern coastal Alaska, they are nevertheless present at some uncommon localities where cleavage surfaces parallel the bedding surfaces. They noted that only two species of bivalves (both inoceramids) are present [See Figure 1 for their distribution in the Turnagain Arm area] which comprise the vast bulk of fossils noted in these strata, which otherwise consist primarily of trace fossil assemblages.

The first of the two bivalves is Inoceramya concentrica established by E.O. Ulrich in 1904 based on specimens collected earlier by the famed naturalist and geologist William Healey Dall on Woody Island, a small island off the east coast of Kodiak Island near the town of Kodiak (see Figures 2-3 for his illustrations; also Figure 4 for a more recent photograph of one of his slabs). Ulrich indicated it to be both a new genus and species, and suggested that it represented a link between late Paleozoic Posinonomya (= Posidonia) and Cretaceous Inoceramus. He even went so far as to suggest a probable Early Jurassic age for the species, which is now known to be in error based on the other associated inoceramid.

Figure 1. Map showing Upper Cretaceous localities of Inoceramya concentrica Ulrich and Inoceramus kusiroensis Nagao and Matsumoto in the Turnagain Arm region (from Jones and Clark, 1973, Fig. 2).

Volume 43 Number 1 September 2012 Page 6

Inoceramya concentrica Ulrich is known primarily from Woody Island near Kodiak. However, specimens of this species also appear to be present in a rock slab recently given to Anne Pasch which was collected along the Hope Highway near USGS Mesozoic locality M5848 on the Kenai Peninsula (see Figure 5). In all features it corresponds well with I. concentrica from Kodiak Island, and does not show the radial ribbing characteristic of the other inoceramid (Inoceramus kurisoensis) known from the Upper Cretaceous trench deposits of southern Alaska.

The second species of inoceramid bivalve found in our local Upper Cretaceous trench deposits is the species Inoceramus kusiroensis Nagao and Matsumoto. This species was established in 1940 based on specimens found in the Maastrichtian (uppermost Cretaceous) of Hokkaido Island,

northern Japan. Subsequently it has been reported from eastern Siberia (Koryak Range) as well as southern Alaska. It is easily distinguished from the aforemention Inoceramya concentrica by its well developed radial ribbing (see Figures 6-7). Unlike I. concentrica which until now is known from only one other locality (Woody Island), the latter species has been reported from numerous localities in the Upper Cretaceous trench deposits of southern Alaska (Jones and Clark, 1973), ranging from as far south as the Shumagin Islands to near Yakutat in the east. It also differs from the former species in being commonly found in shallower-water Upper Cretaceous strata of the Matanuska and Kaguyak Formations of southern Alaska.

So in summary, we strongly urge geologists and rock hounds to keep their eyes open when out in the back country in both the Chugach and Kenai Mountains - who knows what fossil treasure lurks beneath your feet!

Figure 4. Type slab, USNM 30210, from Woody Island on Kodiak Island. Syntypes of Inoceramya concentrica figured by Ulrich are labeled a, b, and c. Specimen a was designed by Jones and Clark (1973) as the lectotype (from Jones and Clark (1973, fig. 3H).

Figure 2. Two gutta percha casts of Inoceramya concentrica Ulrich from Pogibshi Island, near Kodiak (from Ulrich, 1904, Plate XII). We suspect the locality information was a misprint in the original volume, and that these species are from Woody Island.
