Sequence Stratigraphy (GEO78)
Description
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.
Course Level: Foundation / Skill
Duration: 5 days
Designed for you, if you are...
- An exploration or development geologist
- A geophysicist
- An upstream subsurface professional
How we build your confidence
This interactive course covers both the fundamentals and practical applications of sequence and seismic stratigraphy. It includes hands-on exercises and real-world case studies to support interpretation skills and foster engaging workshop discussions.The benefits from attending
By the end of the course you will be able to:- Understand the use of chronostratigraphy in providing a temporal and spatial display of depositional packages
- Have a sound understanding of the factors controlling sedimentary basin fill
- Gain awareness of the terms and definitions used in sequence and seismic stratigraphy
- Identify the main stratal terminations, surfaces, system tracts and sequences on seismic
- Integrate other geological data to identify sequences and system tracts on well logs and biostratigraphy charts
