Deepwater Sedimentary Systems helps industry professionals, academicians, researchers and government agencies characterize and interpret deepwater stratigraphy and reservoirs, mature exploration concepts in areas of interest, and evaluate development decisions in offshore areas. Insights gained during participation in the course enables teams to characterize and rank the value of projects in other regions and on a global scale. For academics, this course serves as the primer for understanding the range of processes and deposits found in water depths exceeding 200 m, which covers nearly 70% of Earth.
Course participants have the option of participating in a field trip on Friday, March 3.
This 2-day, in-person course equips participants to build predictive models of subsurface geology for more successful exploration and development. The course is based on a selection of works from Deepwater Sedimentary Systems: Science, Discovery and Applications (Eds J. Rotzien, C. Yeilding, R. Sears, F. Hernández-Molina y O. Catuneanu) that takes readers through geological and geophysical characterization of deepwater intervals in order to make informed investments. Authored by nearly 60 professionals from 20 countries, this book represents the first global treatise on exploration and production in deepwater/offshore systems. Expected publication date is September 1, 2022. Participants can opt to receive a signed copy of the first edition of the book.
Deepwater Sedimentary Systems provides a field-based analysis of the range and variation in deepwater sedimentary intervals, exploring new themes in energy industry research and applications, as well as approaches to classic reservoir challenges and how they’re being addressed today.
Throughout the course, Dr. Rotzien will explain why these technical challenges are relevant to exploration, appraisal and development drilling programs.
His analysis questions the turbidite reservoir paradigm established since the 1960s and provides a route to modern solutions.
Critical questions to be addressed during the course include the following:
(Participants will receive a final schedule approximately one week prior to the course)
Times are listed in Atlantic Standard Time (AST), GMT – 4.
