Rifts are key to understanding the evolutionary sequence of crustal and upper mantle stretching, which results in normal faulting from extension. Although rift basins are limited to specific areas of the globe, they are crucial for comprehending a significant part of Earth's geology. These basins are present throughout geological history, with examples from the Palaeozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras.
Beyond their role in geological history, rift basins also constitute hydrocarbon provinces. Despite their limited spatial extent, they account for 12% of the known oil reserves.
This Seismic Interpretation & Basin Analysis of Rift Basin Systems training course will cover the tectonic settings, structural styles, stratigraphy, and hydrocarbon production characteristics of rift basins. Selected basins will serve as case studies, including the Lusitanian Basin, Portugal, Potiguar Basin, Brazil and Orange Basin, Namibia, with multiple examples and exercises on seismic lines and data.
This PetroKnowledge training course will feature:
By the end of this Seismic Interpretation & Basin Analysis of Rift Basin Systems training course, participants will be able:
This PetroKnowledge training course is suitable for exploration and development geologists, seismic interpreters, sedimentologists, petrographers and other upstream subsurface professionals who are interested in optimally utilizing seismic and geological data in the interpretation of rift basins and identifying the main hydrocarbon plays.
This Seismic Interpretation & Basin Analysis of Rift Basin Systems training course will feature PowerPoint presentations combined with interactive individual and team exercises. Participants will engage in sessions based on real exploration and development case studies, designed to enhance their understanding of the seismic and geological characteristics of typical rift basins. Additionally, the training course will cover the petroleum potential of each basin. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own stratigraphic data, logs, and seismic information when relevant, allowing for the review and interpretation of real-world examples from their own companies.
