Why Choose this Training Course?
Why Choose this Online Training Course?
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 online training course 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 online training course will introduce the applied use of biostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy in both an exploration and development context with real examples.
