5-Day Training Course

Stratigraphy

Sequence, Seismic & Integrated Stratigraphic Analysis

Course Overview

The goal of this training course is to enhance the value derived from seismic and well data by applying sequence and seismic stratigraphy alongside integrated stratigraphic analysis to refine geological models. This approach can be used to uncover more hydrocarbon plays, improve the assessment of play and prospect risks, and help predict the lithology to be encountered ahead of the drill bit.

This hands-on, 5-day Stratigraphy training course will cover both the foundational principles and practical applications of sequence and seismic stratigraphy. It will also involve exercises and case studies for interpretation, along with group discussions.

Key topics covered in this Energy training course will include:

  • The evolution of sequence stratigraphy
  • Core models and principles of seismic and sequence stratigraphy
  • The factors influencing basin stratigraphy
  • Defining sequences using wells and seismic data
  • Basics of sequence stratigraphy in carbonate systems
  • The role of relative sea level lowstands in reservoir formation
  • Applying sequence stratigraphy in lacustrine settings
  • Integrating other stratigraphic data such as biostratigraphy, radiometric dating, and chemostratigraphy

Course Objectives

By the end of this Stratigraphy training course, participants will be able to:

  • Comprehend the essential role of chronostratigraphy in presenting a temporal and spatial representation of depositional packages
  • Gain a thorough understanding of sedimentary basin types and their respective depositional patterns
  • Identify key sequences on seismic data
  • Integrate geological data to recognize sequences and parasequences on well logs
  • Become familiar with the terminology and definitions used in sequence and seismic stratigraphy
  • Apply sequence and seismic stratigraphy techniques in defining new plays and assisting in the evaluation of play and prospect risks

Training Methodology

The Energy training course will be based around PowerPoint presentations for each module followed by interactive and participative individual and team exercises. There will also be workshop sessions based around real exploration and development case studies to get participants to actively become aware of the predictive capabilities of applied sequence and seismic stratigraphy and how to integrate other stratigraphical data. Course participants are also encouraged to bring along stratigraphic data, logs and seismic where appropriate from their own companies so that real working examples can be reviewed and interpreted.

Who Should Attend

This Energy training course is suitable for exploration and development geologists, seismic interpreters, sedimentologists, petrographers and other upstream subsurface professionals who are interested in optimally utilizing geological data as a predictive tool in sedimentary basins and for identifying hydrocarbon plays in active petroleum systems.
