    Sequence Stratigraphy Applied to Petroleum Exploration & Production

    This course is dealing with concepts and applications of sequence stratigraphy for petroleum exploration and production. Facies analysis in different depositional regimes will be interpreted within exploration and production framework. The different approaches of sequence stratigraphy will be discussed. Sequence stratigraphy applications in petroleum systems will be highlighted in terms of source, reservoir and trap distribution. Exercises will assist the understanding of sequence stratigraphic surfaces, systems tracts and depositional sequences based on well log cross-sections and seismic lines.
