Application of Structural Geology in Seismic Interpretation
By EnergyEdge - Training for a Sustainable Energy Future
ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE Seismic interpretation requires an understanding of structural development and its interrelation with the stratigraphic system. Bias and misunderstanding have unfortunately resulted in countless dry holes. So go beyond tracing horizons and understand their context within the structural system by extracting key information from seismic surveys and other datasets. In this 5 full-day training course, participants will learn a variety of modern structural concepts and techniques and their role in the interpretation of seismic data. Using an applied 'hands-on' approach, participants will be exposed to a diversity of worldwide case examples with complementary exercises - both of an individual and group nature. The course is designed from an applied standpoint, with numerous examples and hands-on exercises from the petroleum industry. This course can also be offered through Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) format. Training Objectives By the end of this course, the participants will be able to: * Go beyond tracing horizons and marking faults and truly understand the structural and stratigraphic system. * Understand the role of tectonics and deformation in the formation of various types and orientations of geologic structures. * Understand the interaction of the structural system with the stratigraphic and sedimentologic environment for better prediction of reservoir formation. * Integrate data from the large seismic scale to subseismic scale, including seismic anisotropy, to understand better the overall petroleum system. * Learn about the common pitfalls of interpretation. Target Audience This course is intended for geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers, and exploration/production managers. Course Level * Intermediate Trainer Your expert course leader received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Geology from the now University of Louisiana-Lafayette in 1989 and 1990 respectively, and his Ph.D. as a National Science Foundation fellow at Baylor University, Waco, Texas, in 1993. From 1994 - 1996, he studied planetary tectonics as a NASA-funded postdoctoral fellow at Southern Methodist University. In 1996, he returned to UL-Lafayette, where he was awarded in 1997 the Hensarling-Chapman Endowed Professorship in Geology. He began independent consulting activities in 1991, and in 2001, he left academia for full-time consulting for clients ranging from one-man shops to supermajors. He rejoined UL-Lafayette as an adjunct professor from 2011 - 2018. He is an active researcher, receiving several million dollars in grants from federal, state, and industry sources, presenting numerous talks, including a 2019 AAPG Levorsen award, and publishing on a diversity of geoscience topics, including a Grover E. Murray Best Published Paper award in 2017. He is co-author of the inaugural GCAGS/GCSSEPM Transactions Best Student Paper award in 2018. He served as the GCAGS Publisher since 2006 and in various GCAGS/GCSSEPM Transactions editing capacities since 2006, including the 2014 and 2017 - 2022 Editor (named Permanent Transactions Editor in 2017), and Managing Editor since 2011, receiving a GCAGS Distinguished Service Award in 2018. He served as the General Chair for GeoGulf 2020 (70th GCAGS/GCSSEPM Convention), the 1st hybrid geoscience conference in the world. He is a Past President of the Lafayette Geological Society and served as its Editor and Publisher from 2002 - 2018. In 2018, he founded the Willis School of Applied Geoscience, reformulating decades of industry-training experience to provide alternative opportunities for graduate-level education. In 2020, he received an Honorary Membership from GCSSEPM. He also joined the LSU faculty as an adjunct professor in 2020. In 2021, he co-founded the Society of Applied Geoscientists and Engineers, serving as its President, General Chair for the SAGE 2022 Convention & Exposition, and Vice-Chair for the Benghazi International Geoscience & Engineering Conference 2022 (BIGEC 2022). POST TRAINING COACHING SUPPORT (OPTIONAL) To further optimise your learning experience from our courses, we also offer individualized 'One to One' coaching support for 2 hours post training.

Completion Design
By EnergyEdge - Training for a Sustainable Energy Future
ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE This 5 full-day course is aimed at engineers and supervisors who already have a basic understanding of well construction methods but who would benefit from a more detailed knowledge of completion design. The course will concentrate on the important aspects of completion design and what makes a safe and efficient well. A common thread of practical examples will be used throughout the course in the form of a case study or 'red-thread' exercise. The case study is based around data all taken from a single field where those attending will work through all the basic issues of a completion design. The exercises associated with the case study is performed in the student's own time after each of the formal sessions. However, at the start of the next day, the case study is reviewed and discussed. The whole case study will continue through all sessions, with each element being reviewed at the start of the next session. There is no 'right' answer to the exercise - producing interesting discussions! The purpose of the course is not to go over specific equipment in detail. Teaching methods include presentations, videos, and animations and the case study. The course will cover: * Types and configurations of completions * The completion design process * Inflow performance, skin and formation damage * Perforating; selection, deployment and interface with rest of completion * Stimulation and impact on completion and flow performance with coverage of modern horizontal multifrac tools * Open hole, non-sand control completions including open hole packers and horizontal well clean up * Sand control; when do you need it, basic types and selection guidelines. Includes standalone screens, ICDs, various gravel packing techniques, frac packs and expandable screens * Tubing sizing, flow estimation and liquid loading * Artificial lift; types and selection criteria, interface with drilling, reservoir and facilities. Design of gas lift and ESPs included * Production chemistry impacts on completion, prevention and removal (scales, wax, asphaltene, hydrates, and souring) * Metallurgy, corrosion, and erosion; metal types and selection of * Elastomers and plastics; types and selection of * Tubing stress analysis; picking the grade and weight of tubing, plus selection criteria for packers and expansion devices. Interface between tubing stress analysis and casing design * Completion equipment; basic types of equipment, reliability and selection criteria for each (tree, safety valve, mandrel, packers, expansion devices etc) * Completion installation; importance of wellbore clean-out, function and types of brines, pointers for efficient completion installation * Non-conventional wells; types and when / where to use them (multilaterals, smart (intelligent) wells and also SAGD, CO2 sequestration, CBM, etc) Training Objectives By the end of this course, the participants should be able to: * Have a good understanding of the completion design process and what makes a good completion design * Understand the importance of the installation process (completion running) in the design process * Have an appreciation of new and developing completion techniques (intelligent wells) Target Audience This course will benefit engineers and field-based personnel such as completion supervisors and production engineers. It is also suitable for completion vendors, specialists such as chemists and subsurface personnel including geologists, reservoir engineers and petrophysicists. Trainer Your expert course leader has 30 years of oil and gas industry experience. A first class degree in geophysics and a master degree in Petroleum Engineering was a prelude to seven years with BP as a petroleum engineer. He left BP and following a short spell in Camco, jointly founded ICE Energy. After six years of completions and petroleum engineering consultancy and training, ICE Energy merged with TRACS International, where he continued with petroleum and completion engineering studies, leading integrated teams, and developing / delivering training courses for a variety of different clients in diverse world-wide locations. In the last five years, he is independent again - focusing on technical consulting and course delivery.
