Description

Sequence stratigraphy is a branch of geology that combines multiple disciplines, notably sedimentology, biostratigraphy, trace fossil analysis, and seismic stratigraphy in addition to classical lithostratigraphy. From the perspective of geological resource exploration, the predictive power of sequence stratigraphy is immensely important as it allows to reduce risks and estimate resource quantities.
The objective of this training course is to get more out of seismic and well data through the use of sequence and seismic stratigraphy and integrated stratigraphic analysis to further constrain geological models. Ultimately, it can be used to predict and discover more geological resources and predict the geology before wells are drilled.
