Capability and Competency Development for the Energy Sector

This course provides a comprehensive overview of necessary concepts for seismic interpretation in carbonate systems for successful exploration and production. The newest concepts in depositional and microbial processes in shallow and deep water carbonate environments, rock physics, and sequence stratigraphy are presented through a combination of lectures, case studies and exercises.

Participants on this 3 day classroom course will derive an understanding of wells and completions, allowing for more accurate production performance assessments, as well as better risk mitigation and management.

This course delivers expertise in the applied geostatistical methods that are essential for effective modern reservoir characterization and modeling.

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.
