Participants of this Sedimentology from Introduction to Application training course are those who are familiar with exploration and geology and needs a new depth to their interpretation by knowing the sedimentary setting from data and tools in hand, work on mapping/correlations, understand the different litho-facies with picking detailed zonation from cores and logs in order to prepare for modeling. Knowing the environment of deposition and related sedimentary structures are vital for the sake of evaluating basins and trace the possible involved depositional model. This will have a direct impact on studying reasons of well failure critique and/or delineated more success pay stories. A direct outcome of the course is to ensure maximizing usage of acquired data after drilling for exploration, appraisal and development success. By choosing this training course for the company exploration and development team, we are closing the gap between interpretation geologists, petrophysicists, well site geologist, geophysicists, and reservoir engineers.
The main goals of this training course are to stimulate the participants with knowledge of the sedimentology and its importance in the oil industry, understand and apply this knowledge to evaluate related environment of deposition, rock unit description (from texture and diagenesis to facies), analyze and evaluate the zonation from both core to log and vice versa to create model that fit, as best as we can, geological, geophysical and petrophysical setting versus reservoir and production performance.
By the end of this training course, participants will learn to:
Day 1
Sedimentology Concept and Introduction
Competency Description: During day one, attendees should get familiar with sedimentology, know why care in studying it and where it fit with each respected discipline. Once feeling that, all attendees will share discussions on their expectations and how they can merit of that in the coming days
Key behaviors
Topics to be covered
DAY 2
Sedimentary Environment of Deposition and related Structures
Competency Description: During this second day, attendees will have their hand on the most important application of sedimentology: environment of deposition and related structures. Cases will be discussed with some projection onto oil and gas industry
Key behaviours
Topics to be covered
DAY 3
Projection of Sedimentology onto Oil and Gas Industry
Competency Description: During this third day, attendees will be able to learn more about facies from both core and logs. Mapping and fault sealing will be tackled from a sedimentological point of view.
Key behaviors
Topics to be covered
DAY 4
Oil Generation from Sedimentary Basins to Reservoir I
Competency Description: During the fourth day, attendees will be on voyage from the generation of the first oil drop in the sedimentary basin through a full journey of maturation and migration until it meets it final trapped reservoir destination.
Key behaviours
Topics to be covered
DAY 5
Oil Generation from Sedimentary Basins to Reservoir II
Competency Description: During the last day, attendees will put the last brick in a sedimentological journey that started with sedimentary rock deposition and digenesis to oil generation and entrapment and how we can simulate that in a model.
