Fundamentals of Siliciclastic Sequence Stratigraphy | 11 November 2015 | Houston, TX, USA
This course is part of AAPG’s upcoming Fundamentals Education Conference November 9-13, in Houston, TX. Geologists, geophysicists, and engineers seeking techniques for improved subsurface mapping and prediction of lithology distribution within siliciclastic reservoir intervals will find this course useful. The course teaches sequence stratigraphy as a tool for interpreting seismic and borehole data from slope, shelf, coastal, and/or continental deposits. An entry-level understanding of these depositional environments is anticipated.
The
Fundamentals of Siliciclastic Sequence Stratigraphy course, taking place November 11, in Houston, TX, will cover the full range of topics needed to develop a foundational understanding of siliciclastic sequence stratigraphy and how to apply this skill to practical reservoir interpretation. Upon completion of the course, participants will gain an overview of the fundamental concepts supporting the science of sequence stratigraphy, and have the following applied skills:
- Identify and correlate sequence-stratigraphic surfaces in seismic and borehole data sets for purposes of subdividing reservoir systems into high-resolution sequence-stratigraphic units
- Develop predictions for distribution of reservoir vs. non-reservoir facies from distribution of sequence-stratigraphic units interpreted from borehole and seismic data sets
- Interpret and predict variations in reservoir stratigraphic architecture between different fields, pay intervals, and prospects through a newly gained understanding of the natural variations typical of sequence depositional controls
- Relate outcrop and modern analogs of sequence deposition to subsurface sections
- Improve production evaluations through a better understanding of reservoir dimensions and porosity structure
