Introduction

SEDIMENTOLOGY - MAIN DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENTS.

Alluvial facies models, Fluvial facies models, Deltaic facies models, Shallow marine facies models, Deep marine facies models (examples from outcrops and field case studies), Facies analysis on core and wireline well log: related petrophysical characteristics, 3D geometry of depositional units and reservoir bodies.

SEISMIC SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY AT BASIN SCALE

Depositional sequences and system tracs; Methodology of interpretation; Quantitative prediction of potential source rocks and reservoir’s location; Application to seismic interpretation.

HIGH-RESOLUTION SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY AT RESERVOIR SCALE

Identification of genetic sequences; Correlation by analysis of stacking patterns; Qualitative prediction reservoir bodies extent and quality; Interpretation exercise based on outcrop analogs and field studies

STRATIGRAPHY MODELING

2D and 3D deterministic stratigraphic modeling; Quantitative prediction of reservoir distribution and connectivity - case studies; From basin scale to reservoir scale: geostatistical modeling of inter-well heterogeneity; Different methods (object, pixel): educated software package; Integration of seismic and dynamic data Geochemistry, biostrat /lithostrat.

Objective

1. To present concepts and methods of sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy analysis.

2. Log analysis and identification of sequence boundaries, MFS, and System tracts; integration with seismic.

3. Analyze seismic sequences and identify sequence boundaries and system tracts.

4. Predict reservoir distribution and geometry.

5. Upon course completion, participants will be able to: identify the main depositional environments,

Note:

70% of the course should be exercise-based.

Audience

Designed for geologists, geophysicists, and engineers actively working in the exploration and production of carbonate rocks.

Certificate

Define Management Consultancy & Training Certificate of course completion will be issued to all attendees.

Methodology

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. You will also be encouraged to raise your questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your analysis and experiences. Tests of the multiple-choice type will be made available daily to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course.

Very useful Course Materials will be given.

30% Lectures
30% Workshops and work presentation
20% Group Work& Practical Exercises
20% Videos& General Discussions
