🏞️ Applied Sequence Stratigraphy for Exploration & Production Success

Overview

🔎 Course Description

Sequence stratigraphy revolutionized exploration and development by providing a powerful predictive tool for reservoir, seal, and source rock distribution. This practical course gives geoscientists and engineers the tools to apply sequence stratigraphic concepts to real data, improving understanding of stratigraphic architecture in both clastic and carbonate systems, and enhancing subsurface predictions in exploration and field development.

🎯 Learning Objectives

✅ Master key concepts of sequence stratigraphy and systems tracts
✅ Interpret seismic, core, and log data in a sequence stratigraphic context
✅ Identify sequence boundaries, maximum flooding surfaces, and stacking patterns
✅ Apply stratigraphic models to predict reservoir distribution
✅ Integrate sequence stratigraphy into exploration and development workflows

👥 Who Should Attend

Geologists, geophysicists, and petrophysicists
Reservoir and exploration engineers
Asset team members involved in reservoir characterization
Technical managers seeking to improve stratigraphic prediction in their assets

🗂️ Training Format

✅ Classroom or live virtual delivery
✅ Interactive lectures
✅ Seismic and well log interpretation exercises
✅ Group discussions & case studies
