Course Description
This course examines the processes leading to the formation and accumulation of carbonate & Siliciclastic rocks and how sequence stratigraphy provides a predictive method to understand the formation of these reservoirs and application in oil and gas industry.
The principles and the practical application of sequence stratigraphy are studied, together with discussion on how this improves our understanding of subsurface reservoirs. Diagenetic changes that carbonate rocks undergo are also analyzed, and, where possible, set within a sequence stratigraphic framework.
Finally, integrating all subsurface data to de-risk hydrocarbon exploration and development from sequence Stratigraphy point of view.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?
Training Objective
Target Audience
This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Petrophysicists
