DE0020 : Carbonate Sequence Stratigraphy

Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.

 

The overall objective of this course is to introduce E&P professionals to key concepts and principles of carbonate sequence stratigraphy and its application in petroleum exploration and production. Learning objectives are at basic awareness and knowledge levels. Emphasis is on practical understanding of carbonate facies analysis, controls on carbonate stratigraphic development, sequence stratigraphic architecture, recognition of sequence stratigraphic relationships in cores, logs, and seismic profiles, and application to carbonate reservoirs in a variety of tectonic and depositional settings.

 

This course is designed to teach the principles, concepts, and methods of sequence stratigraphy. Sequence stratigraphy is an informal chronostratigraphic methodology that uses stratal surfaces to subdivide the stratigraphic record. This methodology allows the identification of coeval facies, documents the time-transgressive nature of classic lithostratigraphic units, and provides geoscientists with an additional way to analyze and subdivide the stratigraphic record.
