Advanced Structural Geology with Geomechanical Application Course
Introduction:
This course is based on geo-mechanics as a sound foundation for structural geological concepts and seismic interpretation. Following an introduction to geo-mechanics, the main tectonic regimes and associated structural features will form the backbone of the course. Structural concepts, development of structures, structural styles, and structural geometries will be covered per tectonic regime. Exercises and case histories ensure a live course in a hands-on workshop format.
Course Objectives:
- DIFFERENTIATE the structural regimes manifestations, and their key features in 2D or 3D seismic data
- UNDERSTAND the basic element of hydrocarbon generation, tectonic regimes, and their significance for petroleum geology
- DEDUCE vital stress information from structural geometries
- LEARN to quantify stresses in the subsurface and APPLY this to exploration and production of hydrocarbons
- LESSEN the uncertainties by reducing the degrees of freedom in geological modeling
- UNDERSTAND the benefits and pitfalls of state of the art seismic and image logging techniques
Who Should Attend?
The course is designed for Geologists and Geophysicists with a solid academic background in structural geology concepts and with current or past exploration/development assignments and work experience in structurally complex regions.
- Geoscientists
- Geologists
- Geophysicists
- Seismic Interpreters
Course Outlines:
· From Seismic Interpretation to Structural Modelling
· Extensional Tectonics & Strike-Slip Tectonics
· Compressional Tectonics
· Salt Tectonics
· Fracture Systems
