Description

Designed for you, if you are...

• A professional in sedimentary geology and petroleum geology who is currently involved in development or exploration of carbonate reservoirs, e.g. drilling engineer, geologist, geophysicist, reservoir engineer

How we build your confidence

• Combination of live instructor-led training, demonstrations, practical exercises and case studies

The benefits from attending

• Carbonate facies and how to relate them to the original depositional environment
• Depositional architectures based on the available data of outcrops and well logs and how to reconstruct the depositional scenarios in time and space
• How to reconstruct and correlate at small and large scale the sedimentary sequences
• How to extrapolate from the available data of outcrops (surficial analogous) the subsurface geology
• How to link the acquired knowledge to the exploration petroleum geology

Topics

• Rock cycle and sedimentary rocks
• Siliciclastic sedimentary rocks
• Main textural constituents
• Recognition and classification
• Carbonate sedimentary rocks
• Main constituents of carbonate rocks
• Recognition and classification
• Exercise: recognition , description and classification of hand samples and thin section under microscope (if possible);
• Facies and subsurface facies analysis
• Fundamental of stratigraphy
• Sediment transport, depositional processes and structures.
• Siliciclastic depositional systems: fluvial, lacustrine, eolian, tidal.
• Siliciclastic depositional systems: deltaic and deep marine environments.
• Turbidite deposits
• Exercise: Time and space evolution of siliciclastic systems and implication on petroleum geology.
• Shallow marine carbonate depositional setting
• Carbonate platforms and ramps: introduction and facies distribution
• Attached, not attached, rimmed, not rimmed carbonate platforms
• Carbonate and mixed siliciclastic – carbonate ramps
• Slope depositional environments and facies distribution:
• Depositional and by pass margins
• Basins and anoxic basins
• Time and space evolution of shallow water carbonate platform-basin systems and implication on petroleum geology.
• Exercise: Depositional environments reconstruction and prediction of the deposits geometry by recognition structures, facies and stratigraphic relations.
