Description

Designed for you, if you are...

• A geologist, geophysicist or reservoir engineer, keen to understand the methodology for applying sequence stratigraphy to correlation, facies analysis and delineation of stratigraphic traps

How we build your confidence

• Overview of study principles and methodology
• Discussions of recent developments and significant applications
• Discussions of case histories that demonstrate the applications and efficacy of integrated stratigraphy and related techniques
• Application of the modern methods of integrated stratigraphy and defining small and large scale stratigraphic correlations

The benefits from attending

• The concepts and practical applications of integrated stratigraphy for petroleum exploration
• The limitations of litho-correlation and the benefits of chrono-correlation and integrated stratigraphic methods
• Relative sea-level changes and their effect on the distribution of source, reservoirs and seal rocks
