Introduction Sequence Stratigraphy - RMT

Candidates:

EExploration /production geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists and reservoir engineers.

Summary:

The key objective of this course is to develop a fundamental understanding of the concepts and methodology of sequence stratigraphy and its application in exploring and developing oil and gas fields.

Contents:

• Concepts of sequence stratigraphy
• Systematic identification of strata terminations
• Identification of seismic sequences and their component
• Sequence stratigraphic analysis of Logs and cores
• Accommodation models for carbonate and siliciclastic strata.
• Chronostratigraphic charts
• Integration of depositional systems concepts into seismic sections
• Construct accommodation models for carbonate/siliciclastic strata.
• Use the new skills and concepts to recognize and understand sequence stratigraphic controls on reservoir quality and flow units.
• Several exercises in which students will work with well log, cores and seismic data in a workshop environment to interpret stratigraphy
• Case studies from the Arabian Gulf, North Sea and North America
