Few course providers offer detailed technical training in sedimentology and stratigraphy specifically tailored to the oil and gas industry. This course is delivered by a consultant who spends the majority of his professional time solving real-world subsurface challenges using industry data. The course is richly illustrated with seismic, well log, and core data drawn from the instructor’s own professional teaching collection, offering practical examples that are rarely available elsewhere. Carbonate reservoirs host approximately 60% of the world’s hydrocarbon reserves. Even at low oil prices, many unconventional carbonate plays remain economically viable. This course presents a step-by-step, systematic methodology for addressing the complexities associated with carbonate reservoirs. The modules cover fundamental concepts such as carbonate deposition, evaporite associations, and sequence stratigraphy, and extend into advanced topics that directly impact production performance, including fractures and pore networks. Practical exercises incorporate real subsurface datasets, including well logs, seismic lines, seismic horizon slices, core samples, and thin-section data. By the end of the course, participants will have a clear understanding of the common challenges encountered in the exploration and development of carbonate reservoirs and practical strategies to address them effectively.
