Clastic Exploration and Reservoir Sedimentology Course
Introduction:
This course has been developed to provide an understanding of the geometry and hydrocarbon potential of clastic depositional systems and faces, and how they are affected by such important features as basin configuration, tectonics, and eustasy. Each of the major clastic environments is covered in terms of lithology, faces, log response and reservoir quality and the depositional models related to seismic sequences. Important basin-scale digenetic changes are examined to illustrate the effect on reservoir quality. The course includes extensive practical exercises.
Course Objectives:
- Interpret clastic depositional environments using data from cores images, cutting images and Wireline logs
- Apply new sequence stratigraphic concepts to clastic reservoirs
- Correlate wells using knowledge of depositional environment
- Predict reservoir size, shape, trend and quality
Who Should Attend?
The explorations searching for sandstone reservoirs must have a good understanding of the controls on sand distribution and geometry within various depositional settings. The course is aimed at exploration geologists and geophysicists involved in clastic exploration studies.og response and reservoir quality and the depositional models related to seismic sequences. Important basin-scale digenetic changes are examined to illustrate the effect on reservoir quality. The course includes extensive practical exercises.
Course Outlines:
