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 up-to-date overview of Sedimentology & Sequence Stratigraphy. It covers the importance and relationship between sedimentology and stratigraphy; the main depositional environments and differentiating between various depositional settings; the alluvial facies models, characteristics and depositional processes; the concepts and methods of sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy analysis including the principles of facies and sequence analysis, tools and techniques; the fluvial facies models, characteristics and depositional processes; and the deltaic systems and characteristics of shallow marine facies models. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the log analysis and sequence boundaries, MFS and system tracts including wireline logs in stratigraphy; the seismic sequences, sequence boundaries and system tracts as well as interpreting seismic data and linking seismic and well data; the deep marine facies models, characteristics and depositional processes; and the seismic sequence stratigraphy at basin scale including seismic sequences, system tracts and methodology of interpretation. 

 

During this interactive course, participant will learn the quantitative prediction of source rocks and reservoirs, predictive modeling techniques and application to seismic interpretation; the controls on reservoir distribution and predicting reservoir geometry; the identification, basics and importance of genetic sequences; the correlation by analysis of stacking patterns, techniques and methods and importance in reservoir prediction; the qualitative prediction of reservoir bodies extent and quality, its methods and techniques; the high-resolution interpretation exercise based on field studies; the integration of seismic and dynamic data and the importance in reservoir prediction; the 2D & 3D deterministic stratigraphic modeling, its concepts and tools; the quantitative prediction of reservoir distribution and connectivity including geostatistical modeling of inter-well heterogeneity; the different methods of stratigraphic modeling; and the geochemistry, biostratigraphy and lithostratigraphy as well as the importance in stratigraphic interpretation.
