COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Play Assessment & Prospect Evaluation. It covers the significance and importance of play assessment and prospect evaluation in the subsurface industry; the exploration outcomes, geological and geophysical (G & G) data and how to utilize G & G data for accurate Yet-To-Find (YTF) predictions; the geology and geophysics that dictate the formation and distribution of oil and gas plays; the proper methods and tools to map and evaluate the extent of reservoir distribution; and the systematic techniques to evaluate and risk reservoir contribution to the play fairway. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the charge systems in exploration including the likelihood, magnitude and distribution of effective charge systems; the caprock and seal and methods to delineate and risk caprock distribution; the trap and seal classifications including the charge volume and timing; the analysis of routes taken by hydrocarbons to reach the traps; setting drilling success ratios by applying the methods to estimate the probability of drilling success; and evaluating risks related to trapping geometry, trap development age, effective charge and more.
