Capability and Competency Development for the Energy Sector

This multidisciplinary 3 day classroom course is designed to give participants a broad appreciation of the evaluation and planning activities associated with incremental development planning.

Application of the learnings of this 5 day field course will empower multidisciplinary teams to better understand lateral and vertical heterogeneity, synsedimentary and post-burial tectonic deformation as these factors dramatically impact the choice of completion methodology, development plans and reservoir management at the single well and field scale.

This 5-day field course uses the Monterey Formation as a natural laboratory to understand the origin, distribution and physical properties of biogenic, organic-rich mudstones as well as the relationship between mechanical stratigraphy and fracture distribution in layered rocks.

The goal of this 5 day field workshop is to provide geoscientists and engineers with a thorough and practical exposure to the range of topics required to understand, characterize and predict the geomechanical response of reservoir rocks to geologic processes, field management, and hydraulic fracturing.

This 5 day field class uses interwoven outcrop observations, seismic exercises, lectures, and a comprehensive class project to teach fundamental and advanced concepts in the geological and seismic interpretation of thrust structures and systems to improve skill and confidence in interpretation approach and the ability to characterise structurally-complex reservoirs.

This virtual course, run over 5 sessions, equips participants with essential skills for interpreting formation image log data. It covers key concepts in selecting logging tools, optimizing data acquisition, and performing processing and quality checks. Participants will explore borehole shape analysis, structural and fracture interpretation, and in-situ stress analysis.
