Upon the successful completion of the course, participants will:

• • Understand what are the different types of carbonate hydrocarbon reservoir and the different palaeo-environments in which they are deposited
  • Integrate sedimentary core, sidewall core and log data for carbonate facies
  • Be able to recognize and interpret the petrography of the main carbonate reservoir types
  • Be able to identify the main sequences on seismic
  • Be able to integrate other geological data and then identify sequences and parasequences on well logs
  • Be conversant with the terms and definitions used in carbonate sequence and seismic stratigraphy
  • Be able to use sequence and seismic stratigraphy towards new play definition and as an aid in play and prospect risking
  • Understand the processes that control carbonate deposition
  • Understand what controls porosity and therefore reservoir development in carbonate rocks
  • Be able to understand the complex controls on the deposition of carbonate rocks and both primary and secondary depositional environments

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Petrophysicists
• Geo-Modelers
• Geologists (Exploration and Development)
• Sedimentologists
• Seismic Interpreters
• Drilling Engineers
• Reservoir Engineers
• Technical Support Personnel
• Team Leaders
• Managers

The course will not only presented by showing and interpreting the material in detail, but also the participants will work together using a real data to apply all the workflow and to project their previous knowledge and experience onto the course, they also encouraged to bring their own data so that real working examples can be reviewed and interpreted.
