WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Geoscientists who require a practical familiarity with the application of a variety of state-of-the-art conventional and unconventional tools of hydrocarbon evaluation to sedimentary basins.
YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO
Systematically assess the evolution of a basin’s petroleum system criticals through space and time through a non-linear parallel approach integrating geology, geophysics, and geochemistry
Deconstruct a basin through space and time and build predictive basin models useful in exploration.
Evaluate the geomechanical fundamentals controlling a basin’s burial history through tectonic subsidence analysis
Determine the thermal history of a basin and its importance upon source maturity dynamics
Relate organic source quantity and quality to sedimentary processes and environments
Delineate migration pathways through space and time
Characterize the essentials of reservoir and seal quality
Construct and analyze Petroleum events chart
Geovalidate the model
Rank and quantify petroleum system risk deterministically and stochastically using Monte Carlo methods
Construct and analyze a decision tree
Classify basins for optimizing their exploration and development
ABOUT THE COURSE
Basin analysis demands an integrated approach from explorationists. It can be both inappropriate, and misleading, to suggest that the tectonic-thermal-sedimentologic evolution of any one basin is an established fact, or even that all basins submit to the same simple and equivocal models. This five-day course provides the theory, methods, and practice for participants to develop and optimize their own individual basin evaluation and modeling modus operandi. Incorporated as practical problems for workshop analysis and significant group discussion are case histories from throughout the world utilizing geologic, geophysical, and geochemical data. Areas for analysis are selected from the Middle East, West Africa, the Gulf of Mexico, Mid-Continent U.S., South America, and South East Asia. In addition, students construct and interpret their own geohistory subsidence curves using BASINMOD®, the industries standard computer software for basin modeling. Each participant should bring a hand calculator to class. When this course is presented as an In-house two-week format, it includes a rigorous geophysical-petrophysical workshop for sequence stratigraphy and reservoir characterization-development geology.
One personal computer is provided, at additional cost, for each two participants.
