ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE
This 5 full-day course will focus on geological fundamentals: how different
basin types differ in subsidence mechanisms, basin cycles, heat flow through
time, depositional systems, structural styles and their type of petroleum
systems. This will allow participants to make realistic interpretations in new
areas; interpretations that are consistent with the specific basin type and to
be expected depositional systems and structural styles.
In addition, through simple paper-based exercises, the course will provide
background and understanding of how some of the typical PBE products are made:
creaming curves, Field-size plots and Yet-to-find. Finally, the essentials of
commercial assessments will be covered.
Training Objectives
* To provide participants with a sound understanding how, and under which
conditions different basin types develop, and what the impact of their
development is on the typical petroleum systems of these different basin
types.
* To teach evaluation techniques that assist in the regional understanding and
illustration of sedimentary basins and their development. While some of these
techniques can be done using computers, in the course these will be done 'by
hand' for maximum understanding.
Target Audience
This course is designed in the first place for geoscientists working in
exploration and their direct supervisors. The course is also very instructive
for specialist staff working closely with exploration staff such as
(bio)stratigraphers, geochemists, basin modelers, structural geologists,
geophysicists, reservoir engineers and petrophysicists.
Course Level
* Intermediate
Training Methods
Each topic is introduced by a lecture, and leaning is re-enforced by practical
exercises (on paper). There is ample time for discussions of general issues and
any specific questions participants may have. For several exercises participants
will be invited to do exercises on a basin of their choice, which will make the
course more impactful for the participants.
Participants will be provided with the following pre-read material:

Techniques and Methodology (eds: Adam, J., Chiarelly, D. & Scarselli, N.

Trainer
Your expert course leader has a PhD in Geology from the University of Utrecht.
He worked for 31 years (1979 -2010) with Shell as an exploration geologist in a
variety of functions across the globe. As Principle Technical Expert, he was
responsible for ensuring that Risk & Volume assessments were carried out
consistently and correctly in all of Shell's exploration units.
In this capacity, he led and participated in countless prospect review sessions
and developed and conducted a successful in-house course on Risks & Volume
assessment. As manager of the Exploration Excellence Team, he performed in depth
analysis of basins and plays and provided advice on exploration opportunities to
senior management. Together with his team, he visited most of Shell's
exploration offices, working hands-on with Shell's local exploration teams to
generate new play and prospect ideas and to suggest evaluation techniques and
technologies to apply.
In 2010, he was appointed as extraordinary professor Regional and Petroleum
Geology at the VU university of Amsterdam and in 2012 also at the University of
Utrecht. He was visiting professor at the University of Malaya (Malaysia).
Through his own consultancy, as of 2010, he provides advice on exploration
activities to several companies and is regularly invited to carry out technical
reviews. Activities cover all continents and include Portfolio Reviews, Prospect
assessment, Play-based Exploration, and Geothermal activities.
He conducts courses on several topics including Risk & Volume Assessment,
Prospect Maturation, Basin Analysis, Play-based Exploration, Trap & Seal
Analysis, Petroleum Geology for Non-geologists.
Some of his recent publications include:

potential of the Tremp-Graus, AÃnsa and eastern Jaca Sub-basins in the
southern Pyrenees. Invited contribution for Digital Geology, EAGE special

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. We can
help improve your competence in your chosen area of interest, based on your
learning needs and available hours. This is a great opportunity to improve your
capability and confidence in a particular area of expertise. It will be
delivered over a secure video conference call by one of our senior trainers.
They will work with you to create a tailor-made coaching program that will help
you achieve your goals faster.
