geology of clastic reservoirs
Course Description
This course offers an in-depth analysis of the distributions, geometries and sedimentary architectures of clastic reservoir facies. Participants will learn the criteria for distinguishing reservoir facies using wireline log and core data, how to interpret facies distributions at regional and field scales, and how to integrate this information into exploration and development projects.
Audience
- Geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers, reservoir simulation engineers; other asset team members
Prerequisites
- Basic knowledge of sedimentary geology
Topics covered
- Emphasis is on fluvio-deltaic facies, with coverage of alluvial fan, fluvial, eolian, shoreface, deltaic and shelf environments. Lectures cover the basics; supporting details are drawn from numerous studies worldwide
- Exercises utilizing log and core data provide an opportunity for participants to practice the methodologies addressed in the course
- A wealth of outcrop and core photos, as well as numerous wireline log examples, isopach maps, and seismic attribute maps, are combined to yield a detailed yet very understandable treatment of this complicated subject
