An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Stratigraphy
Sequence, Seismic & Integrated
Stratigraphic Analysis
Course Overview
The objective of this GLOMACS Stratigraphy training seminar is to get more out of seismic and well data through the use of sequence and seismic stratigraphy and integrated stratigraphic analysis to further constrain geological models. Ultimately, it can be used to predict and discover more hydrocarbon plays, to improve the estimation of play and prospect risk and to determine what lithology is going to be drilled ahead of the drill bit.
This 5-day interactive GLOMACS Stratigraphy training seminar will deal with the fundamentals and practical applications of sequence and seismic stratigraphy. It will include exercises and case histories for some interpretation and workshop discussion.
This GLOMACS training seminar will feature:
- The History of Sequence Stratigraphy
- The Models and Principles of Seismic and Sequence Stratigraphy
- Controls on Basin Stratigraphy
- Sequence Definition from Wells and Seismic
- The Fundamentals of Sequence Stratigraphy in Carbonate Systems
- Relative Sea Level Lowstands and Reservoir Development
- Sequence Stratigraphy in Lacustrine Environments
- Integration of other Stratigraphic Information, Biostratigraphical, Radiometric Dating, Chemostratigraphical
