Geology and Geophysics Applied to Industry:

Slide 1

• Welcome to the students
• Title of Short Course
• Most of the material in the short course is courtesy of ExxonMobil
• Original material compiled by Fred W Schroeder

Slide 2

• The Short Course has a total of 17 units
• Most units consist of a short lecture followed by a hands-on exercise
• Unfortunately, we have to regress to using paper maps, logs and seismic sections
• However, to understand the basics, paper is still an appropriate medium
• This eliminates the need to teach some type of interpretation software
• To teach all of the units would require about 3 days (24 hours)
• Typically, a subset of topics are selected to fit the allotted time

Slide 3

• In case of a fire or other emergency, how do we exit the room?
• Review the class hours, breaks, any arrangements for food/drinks
• Expectation that the course will be informal
• Ask questions
• Let me know if I use unfamiliar terms
• E.g., EUR = Estimated Ultimate Recovery

Slide 4

• Bio of Fred Schroeder – original author
• REPLACE with your own Bio

Slide 5

• Experience – basins worked > 6 months by Fred Schroeder – original author
• REPLACE with your own EXPERIENCE

Slide 6

• Provide insights into how geology & geophysics are used in industry
• Problems, workflows, investigations, a few hours can not do justice

• Remove some of the mystery surrounding scientific work in the energy industry
• Perhaps the course will pique your interset

Slide 7

• Within the 17 units, some figures come from published papers/books
• These will be noted on the slides
• This is a list of books and journal articles that were used.
