ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE
This course aims to help geologists, geophysicists, stratigraphers and reservoir
engineers gain a thorough understanding of the concepts and practical
applications of sequence stratigraphy through integration of seismic sequence
stratigraphy with well log sequence stratigraphy and the application of
biostratigraphy to sequence stratigraphy.
The course examines the geological principles, processes and terminology related
to the interpretation and use of seismic sequence stratigraphy and its
integration with well log sequence stratigraphy and biostratigraphy. Concepts
are illustrated with field examples of seismic, well-log, core, and outcrop data
and reinforced with practical exercises using real data.
Course Content in Summary:
1. Introduction to concepts, eustatic controls, seismic stratigraphy and
definition of key terms.
2. Controls - eustatic and basinal controls, accommodation and equilibrium
types, systems tracts and systems tract boundaries.
3. Sequences and systems tracts - highstand, falling stage, lowstand,
transgressive and shelf margin systems tracts.
4. Key surfaces and their identification from well logs, core, outcrop and
seismic reflections.
5. Sequence expression in well logs - log characters of parasequences, maximum
flooding surfaces and criteria for picking sequence boundaries.
6. Interpretation of systems tracts from well logs - integration of well log
sequence stratigraphy with seismic sequence stratigraphy.
7. Seismic expression of sequences - Interpretation of seismic reflections in
depositional sequences - seismic sequence; seismic facies.
8. Clastic and carbonate depositional environments - depositional responses to
changes in relative sea level. Mixed systems and evaporites.
9. Variations on the model.
10. A review of application and exploration significance.
Training Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
* Gain an understanding of sequence stratigraphic controls and concepts.
* Recognise sequence stratigraphic surfaces, systems tracts and stratigraphic
sequences on well-log cross-sections, seismic lines, and outcrop profiles and
depositional facies.
* Construct a sequence stratigraphic model by integrating lithological,
biostratigraphical, seismic and well data.
* Apply sequence stratigraphy effectively for facies predictions in exploration
and production.
Target Audience
This course will benefit explorationists, geologists, stratigraphers and
geophysicists who wish to extend their knowledge through integration of seismic
sequence stratigraphy with well log sequence stratigraphy.
Trainer
Your expert course leader is the Geosciences Technical Director for PetroEdge.
She was previously, the manager of Robertson Petroleum Training Centre and a
Senior Project Scientist at Robertson CGG. She has over 20 years of experience
in teaching geology and leading field trips. Prior to her 8 years at Robertson,
she was in academia as a lecturer for 6 years and a Research Fellow for 3 years.
She has conducted fieldwork and led field trips in the US and many areas in the
UK. In addition, she has led university regional geology day schools and has
comprehensive experience in course and study programme writing.
She has extensive experience in delivering courses and in Clastic and Carbonate
Reservoir Geology, Deepwater Turbidites, Sandstone Reservoirs, Wireline Log
Interpretation, Integrated Sequence Stratigraphy, Basin Analysis and Exploration
& Appraisal workshops globally. In delivering the Exploration Team Management
Workshop, she has project managed and taught key principles and modules on
project planning, data collection/collation, geophysical assessment,
stratigraphy and facies mapping, source rock facies and hydrocarbon generation,
play fairway mapping, risking and prospect evaluation. Her knowledge and
enthusiasm for instructing is reflected in consistently being rated as excellent
by trainees, and clients specifically requesting her participation in courses.
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.
