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 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

• Basic nature of carbonates
• Carbonate depositional settings and facies models
• Sequence stratigraphic models including the ramp, the rimmed shelf, the escarpment margin, the isolated platform, and the mixed carbonate-siliciclastic shelf
• Characteristics of carbonate pore systems
• Diagenesis, porosity evolution, and porosity distribution

• Applications : How to use the sedimentary facies knowledge for oil and gas development or exploration (Case histories and exercises from the different areas)
