This 5-day Sedimentology from Introduction to Application training course is designed for professionals in exploration and geology who are looking to deepen their understanding of sedimentary settings. The training course will enhance their ability to interpret sedimentary data using available tools, including working with mapping, correlations, and identifying litho-facies through core and log data for modeling preparation. Understanding depositional environments and associated sedimentary structures is essential for evaluating basins and identifying depositional models.
The knowledge gained will directly impact the ability to analyze causes of well failure and identify successful reservoir scenarios. A key outcome of this training course is to ensure the effective utilization of data acquired after drilling to improve exploration, appraisal, and development outcomes. By enrolling your company's exploration and development team in this Energy training, you will bridge the gap between interpretation geologists, petrophysicists, well-site geologists, geophysicists, and reservoir engineers.
This Sedimentology training course will cover:
- The sedimentary environments of deposition
- Rock units and sedimentary structures
- Correlating core data to logs and vice versa
- All potential involved facies
- Moving from sedimentary data to static modeling
The primary objectives of this Energy training course are to equip participants with a solid understanding of sedimentology and its significance in the oil industry. Participants will learn to apply this knowledge in evaluating the environment of deposition, describing rock units (from texture and diagenesis to facies), and analyzing zonation from core to log and vice versa to create models that align with geological, geophysical, and petrophysical settings, in relation to reservoir and production performance.
By the end of this Sedimentology training course, participants will be able to:
- Conduct sedimentary analysis based on available data
- Understand the sedimentary depth and its relevance to their work
- Develop a sedimentary environment/facies model for the working area
- Assess the impact of sedimentary structures on exploration
- Apply sedimentary deposition and facies knowledge to create or refine reservoir models
The instructor will not only show and interpret the Energy training course material in detail but will trigger knowledge form the attendees themselves so once discussed, will never be forgotten, a live incrementing point system will be running with all discussions and quizzes during the course path, add to that several videos will be shown and discussed.
This Energy training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit the following:
- Petrophysicists
- Geophysicists
- Geo-modelers
- Reservoir Engineers
- Exploration or Development Teams
