High Resolution Sequence Stratigraphy in Carbonate and Siliciclastic Systems

Introduction

Sequence Stratigraphy has proven to be a powerful tool in understanding and predicting the distribution, geometry, and continuity of elements of the reservoir, source, and seal. The aim of this course is to provide the key principles of sequence stratigraphy, and to demonstrate its application to E&P, especially in high-resolution sequence stratigraphy.

This course will provide the conceptual models in order to develop a workflow to examine core, log, and seismic data, and how to integrate these data in a sequence stratigraphic framework. Key examples will illustrate how sequence stratigraphy can be used to subdivide a reservoir, constrain reservoir models, and generate high-resolution, geologically constrained predictions of reservoir systems, and exercises will emphasize and expand on these concepts.

Course Provides Detailed coverage for High-Resolution Sequence Stratigraphy
The course covers the application of sequence stratigraphy at the reservoir level. It includes conceptual models, develops a workflow to examine core, log, and seismic data, and reviews how these data can be integrated in a sequence stratigraphic framework.

Includes Specific Examples, Practical Case Studies, and Latest Research
The training reviews practical application exercises and numerous case studies for the participants to be able to grasp the working knowledge of the concepts taught in class.

Objectives

    By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

    • Demonstrate skills in stratigraphic analysis independently
    • Apply sequences stratigraphic analysis to reservoir evaluation
    • Generate clearer sequences stratigraphic study from integrated information of various sources of geological data
    • Master the workflow to generate the sequences stratigraphy application for development

Training Methodology

The program is delivered in a combination of lecture-style and computer-based training. In addition, a significant amount of time is set aside for small working group activity when addressing case study problems. Extensive use is made of case study material to underline the key aspects of the course and to give the delegates exposure to current best practice.

Who Should Attend?

  • The course is recommended for geoscience professionals who work with carbonate reservoirs, but have limited experience, and those who seek to understand and apply the principles of sequence stratigraphy to reservoir characterization or prediction in exploration, development, and production settings.
  • Attendees are expected to have a working knowledge on basic petroleum geology. Basic knowledge of sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy are preferred, but essentials will be covered in the class.

Job Titles Include:

  • Sedimentologists and Stratigraphers
  • Geologic Modelers
  • Geophysicists (Seismic Stratigraphy and Interpretation, Seismic Attributes)
  • Reservoir, Petroleum, and Project Engineers (Evaluation, Properties, & Volumetrics)
  • Petrophysicists (Rock & Fluid Properties)
  • Explorationists / Exploration Managers (Work Planning & Economic Evaluation)
