WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Geophysicists, geologists, and explorationists who have completed the PetroSkills course, Introduction to Seismic Stratigraphy: An Exploration Workshop: A Basin Scale Regional Workshop, or have comparable training and desire a challenging workshop, which will improve exploration and development skills
YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO
Evaluate rock-fluid information from wavelet analysis (frequency, velocity, Q. seismic attributes, and AVO)
Understand the strengths and weaknesses of Geovalidation using and miss-using synthetics, seismic inversion, and VSP
Determine fault mechanical stratigraphy through proper interpretation of fault imaging
Understand the differences, weaknesses, and strengths of both the “Vail” with the “Galloway” Sequence Paradigms and when to optimally employ them
Develop sea level curves from micropaleontology
Construct detailed seismic facies maps and understand their relationship to Walter’s law
Classify deltas based upon their seismic characteristics
Differentiate basin floor fan facies and parasequence sets
Interpret clastic and carbonate depositional system responses to allocyclic and autocyclic processes and the effects upon reservoir architecture and seal potential
Optimally interprete parasequence set fairways for exploration
Geophysically characterize reservoirs for optimizing development
ABOUT THE COURSE
Seismic stratigraphy is a powerful tool for exploration and exploitation, especially when the rock-fluid information within the seismic wavelet (reflection character analysis) is integrated with the lithofacies-stratigraphic information, which is determined from reflection group geometry (sequence analysis). The methods used in this workshop do not rely upon either cosmetic processing or interpretation as an art; instead, practical methods of seismic stratigraphy are employed as a science, based upon firm, tested principles that are applied to a spectrum of tectonic structural styles and depositional environments. More substantial than a standard lecture format, this rigorous, five-day course is a problem-oriented, hands-on workshop including significant group discussion and presentation. Participants learn how to make seismic modeling-interpretation judgments as a basis for seismic-facies and reflection character analysis. Case studies for exploration and development incorporate 2-D and 3-D seismic data with well data selected from around the world. Each participant should bring a hand-held calculator to class.
