Deep Marine Reservoir Characterisation | RILS format (Remote Instructor-Led Series)

Level: Skill | Type: Remote Instructor Led Series | Discipline: Clastic Stratigraphy and Sedimentology

This is a Remote Instructor Led Series (RILS) training. The remote classroom delivery is a modality that takes advantage of the instructor led training content, while allowing the same content to be delivered remotely.

All training sessions will be delivered online with no face-to-face classroom attendance. This class will be delivered in 4 to 5 hours daily sessions, including breaks, over 5 days.

Deep marine sediments are important hydrocarbon reservoirs around the world. This course will help the participant to understand deep sea fan development, by having a better knowledge of underwater sedimentary processes. The course will discuss the initiation of flows and their short and long distant transport processes and depositional mechanisms. As well as the facies and facies characteristics and associated bed thickness and geometries that result. Outcrop analogues, modern day examples and subsurface reservoirs case studies will be outlined to illustrate the diversity of deep marine sediments. This course is designed for online learning, with interactive teaching and some participants engagement.

The objective of this course is to give a comprehensive understanding of deep marine processes and fan development, drawing on numerous case studies and analogues from modern day, outcrop and the subsurface.
