Biostratigraphy is often run as a service in petroleum exploration & development for age and palaeoenvironmental interpretation. It can also provide critical insight of the data generated for detailed sequence analysis including unconformities and sedimentation breaks in addition to the identification of flooding surfaces and condensed sequences. It can also be used to characterize facies (reservoir and non-reservoir).
The integration of biostratigraphical data with seismic interpretation and sedimentological and petrographical data utilizes biostratigraphy’s potential most efficiently. This PetroKnowledge Applied Biostratigraphy and Sequence Stratigraphy in Oil Exploration & Development training seminar sets out to illustrate this best use. The pitfalls of the use of biostratigraphical data will be discussed, which often relate to the geological context in which sediments were deposited. The main fossil groups used in biostratigraphy, their temporal and spatial distribution and the contexts in which they occur will be illustrated with numerous examples.
This training course will introduce the applied use of biostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy in both an exploration and development context with real examples.
This Applied Biostratigraphy in Oil Exploration & Development training course will include:
By the end of this PetroKnowledge training course, participants will be able to:
This PetroKnowledge training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
The training course will be based around PowerPoint presentations for each module followed by interactive and participative individual and team exercises. There will also be workshop sessions based around real exploration and development examples to get participants to actively become aware of the predictive capabilities of applied biostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy. Course participants are also encouraged to bring along biostratigraphic data, logs and seismic where appropriate from their own companies so that real working examples can be interpreted.
For the organization, the benefits will include:
The non-specialist geoscientist often struggles to best use biostratigraphical data from service providers. This PetroKnowledge Applied Biostratigraphy and Sequence Stratigraphy in Oil Exploration & Development training seminar will provide the necessary technical know-how for the individual to feel comfortable with the utilization and the integration of this data into their everyday work flows. This will aid their efforts in both the exploration for new hydrocarbons and in the development of existing fields:
