Reservoir Monitoring

The papers submitted to this special section demonstrate that the topic of reservoir monitoring is extremely diverse. This diversity is reflected in the wide range of geologic settings covered by these papers — deepwater unconsolidated clastics, more cemented sandstones in onshore fields, and carbonates. Diversity is seen in the range of production scenarios described by these papers — water sweep of oil and gas, thermal recovery using steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD), and enhanced recovery using CO2 injection. Moreover, the papers in this section cover much more than time-lapse 3D seismic. Although about half of the submitted papers use 4D surface seismic data to monitor reservoirs, the remainder cover a diversity of methods that include time-lapse vertical seismic profiles (VSPs), repeat well logging using distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), and muon tomography. Even the concept of the “reservoir” is expanded to include monitoring microseismicity that might result from production activity.

The topic of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the subsurface relates to enhanced recovery efforts and the fate of CO2 in injection and sequestration scenarios. The papers in this special section address those situations from the perspectives of formation evaluation, injection practices, and time-lapse monitoring. The fields under study in these papers all drastically differ from one another in geologic complexity, so no standard workflow suffices to characterize all of them. These papers paint a good picture of the range of issues associated with the understanding of CO2 in the subsurface.

In simple terms, rock physics provides the much-needed link between measurable elastic properties of rocks and their intrinsic properties. This enables us to connect seismic data, well logs, and laboratory measurements to minerology, porosity, permeability, fluid saturations, and stress. Rock-physics relationships/models are used to understand seismic signatures in terms of reservoir properties that help in exploration risk mitigation. Traditionally, rock physics has played an irreplaceable role in amplitude variation with offset (AVO) modeling and inversion, 3D/4D close-the-loop studies, and seismic time-lapse analysis and interpretation. Today, rock-physics research and application have influenced a much wider space that spans digital rock physics, microseismic, and distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) data analysis. In this special section, we have included papers that cover much of these advanced methods, providing us with a better understanding of subsurface elastic and transport properties, thereby reducing bias and uncertainties in quantitative interpretation.

Skin pigmentation in mammals involves the interaction of epidermal melanocytes and keratinocytes in the structural and functional unit known as the Epidermal Melanin Unit. Melanocytes(M) synthesize melanin within specialized membrane-bound organelles, the melanosome or pigment granule. These are subsequently transferred by way of M dendrites to keratinocytes(K) by a mechanism still to be clearly defined. Three different, though not necessarily mutually exclusive, mechanisms of melanosome transfer have been proposed: cytophagocytosis by K of M dendrite tips containing melanosomes, direct injection of melanosomes into the K cytoplasm through a cell-to-cell pore or communicating channel formed by localized fusion of M and K cell membranes, release of melanosomes into the extracellular space(ECS) by exocytosis followed by K uptake using conventional phagocytosis. Variability in methods of transfer has been noted both in vivo and in vitro and there is evidence in support of each transfer mechanism. We Have previously studied M-K interactions in vitro using time-lapse cinemicrography and in vivo at the ultrastructural level using lanthanum tracer and freeze-fracture.

Beta Adrenergic Agonist

Homogeneous cultures of astroglial cells have proved useful for studying biochemical, pharmacological, and toxicological responses of astrocytes to effectors of central nervous system function. LRM 55 astroglial cells, which were derived from a rat glioma and maintained in continuous culture, exhibit a number of astrocyte properties (1-3). Stimulation of LRM 55s and astrocytes in primary cell cultures with the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol results in rapid changes of morphology. Studies with time lapse video light microscopy (VLM) and high-voltage electron microscopy (HVEM) have been correlated to changes in intracellular levels of c-AMP. This report emphasizes the HVEM results.

Spontaneous Electrical Activity

Cellular electrophysiological properties are normally monitored by standard patch clamp techniques . The combination of membrane potential dyes with time-lapse laser confocal microscopy provides a more direct, least destructive rapid method for monitoring changes in neuronal electrical activity. Using membrane potential dyes we found that spontaneous action potential firing can be detected using time-lapse confocal microscopy. Initially, patch clamp recording techniques were used to verify spontaneous electrical activity in GH4\C1 pituitary cells. It was found that serum depleted cells had reduced spontaneous electrical activity. Brief exposure to the serum derived growth factor, IGF-1, reconstituted electrical activity. We have examined the possibility of developing a rapid fluorescent assay to measure neuronal activity using membrane potential dyes. This neuronal regeneration assay has been adapted to run on a confocal microscope. Quantitative fluorescence is then used to measure a compounds ability to regenerate neuronal firing.The membrane potential dye di-8-ANEPPS was selected for these experiments. Di-8- ANEPPS is internalized slowly, has a high signal to noise ratio (40:1), has a linear fluorescent response to change in voltage.

The ability to image cells in three dimensions has brought about a revolution in biological microscopy, enabling many questions to be asked which would be inaccessible without this capability. There are currently two major methods of three dimensional microscopy: laser-scanning confocal microscopy and widefield-deconvolution microscopy. The method of widefield-deconvolution uses a cooled CCD to acquire images from a standard widefield microscope, and then computationally removes out of focus blur. Using such a scheme, it is easy to acquire time-lapse 3D images of living cells without killing them, and to do so for multiple wavelengths (using computer-controlled filter wheels). Thus, it is now not only feasible, but routine, to perform five dimensional microscopy (three spatial dimensions, plus time, plus wavelength).Widefield-deconvolution has several advantages over confocal microscopy. The two main advantages are high speed of acquisition (because there is no scanning, a single optical section is acquired at a time by using a cooled CCD camera) and the use of low excitation light levels Excitation intensity can be much lower than in a confocal microscope for three reasons: 1) longer exposures can be taken since the entire 512x512 image plane is acquired in parallel, so that dwell time is not an issue, 2) the higher quantum efficiently of a CCD detect over those typically used in confocal microscopy (although this is expected to change due to advances in confocal detector technology), and 3) because no pinhole is used to reject light, a much larger fraction of the emitted light is collected. Thus we can typically acquire images with thousands of photons per pixel using a mercury lamp, instead of a laser, for illumination. The use of low excitation light is critical for living samples, and also reduces bleaching. The high speed of widefield microscopy is also essential for time-lapse 3D microscopy, since one must acquire images quickly enough to resolve interesting events.
