KEYFACT Energy
Intended for geoscientists, reservoir engineers and petrophysicists who want to understand and apply the concepts of sequence stratigraphy, this fundamental classroom course takes place in Houston, Texas, over 4 days. During the course, Vitor Abreu introduces sequence stratigraphy and presents workflows to describe, correlate and map strata. The emphasis is on the recognition and mapping of play elements from exploration to production scales.
PREDICTIVE SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY
Date: 23 - 26 Oct 2023
Location: Houston
Tutor: Vitor Abreu: President, ACT-Geoscience; Adjunct Professor, Rice University
The application of sequence stratigraphy allows for the geologic interpretation of core, well log, seismic and outcrop data to predict play elements, presence and quality before drilling. This course introduces sequence stratigraphy and presents workflows to describe, correlate and map strata. The terminology of surfaces, systems tracts, sequence sets and stratigraphic hierarchy will be described and then applied to subsurface data exercises in non-marine, shallow marine and deep marine depositional settings. The emphasis will be on the recognition and mapping of play elements from exploration to production scales.
You will learn to:
- Apply the basic terminology of sequence stratigraphy.
- Contrast the various approaches to sequence stratigraphy.
- Apply the concept of facies, facies stacking and shoreline trajectory to define parasequences, surfaces and system tracts.
- Evaluate main controls on depositional sequences in non-marine, shallow marine and deep marine environments.
- Assess and interpret cores, well logs and seismic lines to characterize and map hydrocarbon play elements in different settings.
- Implement sequence stratigraphic methods to predict play element presence and quality on seismic data.
- Describe the Accommodation Succession Method and Sequence Stratigraphy Hierarchy.
- Apply chronostratigraphic techniques.
