COURSE OVERVIEW

 

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview on Applied Structural Geology: Magnetic and Gravity Methods. It covers the structural geology, basics of rock magnetism and density and gravity and magnetic methods; the structural controls detectable by potential fields; the survey design and acquisition principles; the gravity anomaly types and corrections, data processing and gridding techniques; the forward modeling in gravity interpretation, inversion techniques for gravity data and structural mapping with gravity data; the magnetic anomalies and reduction techniques; and the filtering and enhancement techniques and magnetic forward modelling. 

 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the magnetic inversion and depth estimation, structural mapping using magnetics and integration of gravity and magnetic data; the structural lineament mapping and structural geology workflows with potential field data; the correlation with seismic and well data, tectonic setting reconstruction and advanced software tools and platforms; the hydrocarbon exploration, mineral exploration, geothermal and groundwater applications and carbon capture & storage structure suitability; the 3D structural modeling from geophysical data, uncertainty and risk in structural interpretation and project-based geophysical interpretation; linking structure to stratigraphy; and the basin fill and deformation timing, control on migration and trap formation and inputs to petroleum systems modelling.
