Description

Designed for you, if you are...

• A geologist, geophysicist or engineer in the exploration team, keen to improve your knowledge of geosetting environments worldwide, to learn the methodology to interpret structural styles of deformation and to predict trap types

How we build your confidence

• Worldwide examples of plate boundary and associated styles of deformation
• 2D-3D seismic interpretation in different geodynamic settings
• Field log based interpretation as analog example
• Case histories to demonstrate the applications and efficacy of structural style setting analysis to predict trap style and geometry

The benefits from attending

• The main types of geosettings all over the world and the leading mechanisms responsible for the different geodynamic regimes
• The link between plate tectonics, structural geology and petroleum geology, from a geodynamic point of view
• Major structural styles of deformation and associated trap styles for predicting geometry with lack of data
• Interpreting 2D-3D seismic data, coupled with geophysical/well datasets

Topics

• Plate tectonics and plate kinematics
• Structural styles and comparative structural geology
• Role of stratigraphy and major anisotropy in the development of structures
• Plate tectonics habitats respect of structural styles
• Constructive plate boundaries, extensional tectonics and associated structural styles
• Conservative plate boundaries, transform plate boundaries and associated structural style
• Destructive plate boundaries and compressional tectonics and associated structural style
• Focus on Fold and Thrust belt - thin skinned vs. thick skinned tectonics
• Inversion and basement involvement
• Salt and Halokinesis
• Plate tectonics and petroleum geology
• Petroleum structural geology
• Exploration projects and derisking using geosetting prediction criteria
