The course provides a unique opportunity to examine modern, ancient and subsurface examples of data from turbidite reservoirs. The process of iteration of data types, including analog data that was collected expressly to solve subsurface issues, will be offered to validate subsurface interpretations. The course combines review, state-of-the-art and historical theory for turbidite and debris-flow deposition and process including many case studies of reservoir architecture and sand-body quality and distribution, an introduction to new concepts, ideas, and methods in turbidite reservoir geology.
Participants will be introduced to the limitations of conventional models for turbidite reservoirs and taught how to build enhanced predictive models using a combination of subsurface, outcrop and modern sea-floor data. Through practical exercises and discussions, participants will experience the relative importance of a broad range of subsurface data, including the merits of different wireline log data for distinguishing lithostratigraphic units. 3D seismic data from a range of locations including the Atlantic margins, Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea will illustrate the quality and level of reservoir resolution possible using modern data. Modern sea floor data from several turbidite basins will be available and participants will receive instruction on interpretation, especially where sea floor data can be used as a proxy of sand distribution in reservoirs. Criteria for identification and interpretation of injected sandstones will be discussed, including explanation of their mechanisms of formation, and the understanding of their influence on reservoir characteristics.
