Deep-Water Turbidite Systems Training

Overview

🧾 Course Description:

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of deep-water turbidite depositional systems, focusing on their sedimentological architecture, seismic and core expression, reservoir quality, and implications for exploration and development. Participants will examine key elements of turbidite systems, including channel-levee complexes, lobes, mass transport deposits, and slope failures. Real-world case studies and exercises are used to reinforce principles and enhance interpretation and modeling skills.

🎯 Who Should Attend:

Geologists and sedimentologists involved in reservoir characterization
Geophysicists interpreting deep-water seismic datasets
Reservoir engineers working with turbidite fields
Exploration managers and technical team leaders
Graduate students and early-career professionals entering deepwater projects

🏷️ Training Format:

Classroom-based or online instructor-led
Combination of lectures, seismic/core interpretation exercises, and group discussion
Materials include course manual, seismic examples, and outcrop analogues
