    Fluvial and Shallow Marine Reservoirs

    The course is designed for geoscientists and reservoir engineers who primarily focus on ‘shallow marine’ successions. Whether your task involves a simple well-correlation across tidal systems, or the input of fluvial channel dimensions into a geomodel this course will benefit you in several ways.

    This course systematically introduces participants in a landwards to basinwards transect through all environments of deposition where reservoir quality sands are deposited. For each environment of deposition they are shown modern examples, outcrop analogs, core photos, well-log signatures and seismic expression.

    Besides presenting standard facies models, quantitative modelling equations are presented in exercises. By the end of the course participants will be able to predict reservoir geometries, dimensions, and Net to Gross ratios of fluvial and paralic sedimentary systems. Details of deltaic reservoir properties, their motifs on wireline logs, and seismic facies are covered in this course.
