Who Should Attend
E&P professionals involved regional petroleum system analysis or in the generation and evaluation of exploration plays.
Description
Numerous well post-mortem reviews have shown that almost half of the industry’s dry holes are the result of the interpreters not properly assessing the petroleum system.
This exercise-driven course is designed to provide those interpreters with an understanding of all the elements of the petroleum system including how to put those elements together to define plays and to find leads and prospects in those plays. Moreover, the class will teach a number of industry best practices that can be used to ensure that the interpreters have a thorough understanding of the petroleum system elements, and how those elements come together.
Learning Outcomes
· Understand the various types of data needed to understand the “Earth Model”,
· Learn how to use the data, as well as geologic models and principals to understand and delineate each element of the petroleum system; source rock, migration pathway, reservoir, trap and seal as well as the linkage between these elements.
· Understand the kinematic relationship between faults and folds
· Be able to recognize and map the various structures
· Understand and delineate the Stratigraphic Framework
· Define and predict reservoirs
· Be able to bring the petroleum system elements together to be able to define plays and to find, evaluate, and risk prospects.
· Define the play fairways
· Generate Common Risk Segment maps
· Investigate the factors that impact play commerciality
