Course
Duration:
5 Days
Trainer
: Dr Bilal-Ul-Haq
Who should
attend?
Recommended for
reasonably experienced prospect generators in exploration (as well as those
involved in reserve additions), exploration geophysicists, reservoir engineers,
biostratigraphers and even managers who allocate resources toward exploration
activities.
SUMMARY
Participants in this workshop gain extensive hands-on interpretation experience.
A range of modern case studies provide the basis for the interactive sessions.
Participants are also encouraged to bring their own examples of stratigraphic
traps, or play types, for discussion. Lectures are interspersed with practicals,
analyzing modern geological/sequence stratigraphic models and interpretation
techniques relating to reservoir, source and seal prediction
LEARNING OUTCOMES
On
the completion of this workshop, and after applying the learning’s of this
course in their job, participants will have gained competence to an overall
Skilled Application Competence Level (through extensive hands-on interpretation
experience from the analysis of a number of case histories) in the
implementation and interpretation of techniques to predict stratigraphic
trapping of hydrocarbons in clastic systems
through sequence-stratigraphic
interpretations.
TECHNICAL CONTENT
This
course is designed to develop skills and illustrate techniques for use in the
identification and evaluation of stratigraphic traps. It comprises five days of
lectures and highly interactive practical sessions in which the attendees work
through a number of recent case studies. The case studies come from a variety of
hydrocarbon provinces in different structural settings from around the world.
The lectures and discussion sessions are used to provide models for reservoir,
source and seal prediction using modern sequence stratigraphic models. The
course principally concentrates on clastic systems but some reference is also
made to carbonates. Case histories have been chosen to illustrate the full range
of stratigraphic trapping potential in depositional environments from non-marine
to deepwater. Each case study will involve stepped interpretation sessions and
discussions ranging from regional through to prospect or field scale. Every
exercise will round off with an analysis of the “key lessons learned”.
TRAINING
METHOD
The
course is designed in the manner of an informal workshop with attendees
receiving extensive hands-on interpretation experience. In most exercises
attendees will work in teams and have the opportunity to present their ideas to
the rest of the class.
Following the course attendees will be able to:
