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.

Methodology

This course combines sound engineering, operation and maintenance principles, applicable standards and best industry practices for reliable and cost-effective process plant systems. Delegates will be encouraged to introduce problems of their own for discussion and analysis. Copies of all lecture materials, case studies and workbooks will be provided.

Group discussions will be carried out on problems faced. This training program is lecture-based and customized to the needs of the audience, providing meaningful experience for personnel that work in petroleum plants. Daily sessions include formal presentation, prepared in the Power Point, interspersed with directed discussions and case study. In addition to formal lectures and discussions, the delegates will learn by active participation through the use of problem-solving exercises, group discussions, analysis of real-life case studies etc. Many relevant videos will be shown during the training.

All attendees receive a course manual as a reference.

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