COURSE OVERVIEW

Sequence Stratigraphy is a branch of Geology that combines multiple disciplines, notably Sedimentology, biostratigraphy, trace fossil analysis, and seismic stratigraphy in addition to classical lithostratigraphy. Since its inception in the 1970s, it has been widely used in both academic and industrial domains. One of its main advantages is the integrated nature of the approach to sedimentary systems, using multiple disciplines. The application at different scales – from kilometric to metric allows the usage of different sets of data: seismic, petrophysical, biostratigraphical and outcrop. From the perspective of geological resource exploration, the predictive power of Sequence Stratigraphy is immensely important as it allows to reduce risks and estimate resource quantities.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The objective of this training course is to get more out of seismic and well data through the use of sequence and seismic stratigraphy and integrated stratigraphic analysis to further constrain geological models. Ultimately, it can be used to predict and discover more geological resources and predict the geology before wells are drilled.

This 5-day interactive Sequence Stratigraphy training course will deal with the fundamentals and practical applications of sequence and seismic stratigraphy. It will include exercises and case histories for some interpretation and workshop discussion

During the course and in an organized and systematic manner, we aim to achieve several objectives that are briefly presented:

  • Understand the use of chronostratigraphy in providing a temporal and spatial display of depositional packages
  • Have a sound understanding of the factors controlling sedimentary basin fill
  • Gain awareness of the terms and definitions used in sequence and seismic stratigraphy
  • Identify the main stratal terminations, surfaces, system tracts and sequenceson seismic
  • Integrate other geological data to identify sequencesand system tracts on well logs and biostratigraphy charts.
