COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and an up-to-date overview of the principles and applications of sequence stratigraphy. It covers the lithostratigraphy versus sequence stratigraphy, transgression and regression, parasequence or cycle, parasequence development and parasequence profiles; the sedimentary analysis and sequence stratigraphy; establishing a framework of genetically related stratigraphic facies geometrics and their bounding surfaces; the depositional setting; the coastal elements and clastic depositional systems; the power of sequence stratigraphy, sedimentary fill hierarchy, building block and unconformities; the seismic sequence boundaries, cyclic sea level and system tracts as templates; and the geometry predictions. 

 

During this interaction course, participants will learn the outcrop interpretation, core and well log and seismic data, outcrop and vertical seismic resolution, lithostratigraphic modeling and seismic facies analysis; the sequence stratigraphy; the geometric and stacking patterns; the system tracts and relative sea level; the system tracts and sequences; the maximum flooding surfaces (MFS), transgressive surfaces (TS) and sequence boundaries (SB); and the characteristics of sequence boundary (SB) from seismic.
