CARBONATES APPLIED TO HYDROCARBON EXPLORATION AND EXPLOITATION
March 1 - 5, 2004 at the Hilton Conference Center,
Univ. of Houston, Houston, Texas.
COST: $1175
DISCOUNTED FEE: $975 (for two or more from the same company)
INSTRUCTOR: JEFFREY J. DRAVIS (Consultant - Dravis Interests, Inc., Houston)
FOR: Geologists, Geophysicists, Reservoir Engineers, Log Analysts and Managers
GOAL: After this seminar, each delegate will be able to describe and classify typical carbonate rocks, interpret facies relationships, delineate stratigraphic sequences and correlate facies within them, evaluate reservoir quality in limestones and dolomites, and better understand subsurface carbonate plays and reservoirs. This is an excellent refresher course.
This five-day, in-house seminar introduces participants to established principles of carbonate sedimentology applied to hydrocarbon exploration and development geology. Using a highly acclaimed, hands-on approach, each participant learns to describe typical carbonate rocks, delineate facies and sequences, evaluate reservoir quality, relate carbonates to log and seismic expression, better predict play relationships in the subsurface, and construct a time-stratigraphic facies framework essential for both accurate regional correlation of carbonate sequences and zonation of carbonate reservoirs.
Lectures are reinforced with exercises and problems keyed to 10 identical sample rock sets, each containing 56 representative samples from around the world. A core problem with logs, based on a real exploration target, further reinforces principles presented in this seminar. A 750+ page notebook accompanies the course, as well as a reference CD with pictures of samples used in various exercises. This seminar has been presented to industry 37 times!
SEMINAR FORMAT:
- DAY 1: Distinctive Aspects of Carbonates; Non-Skeletal grains; Skeletal Grains.
- DAY 2: Carbonate Classifications and Structures; Limestone Diagenesis and Porosity Evolution.
- DAY 3: Dolomitization and Porosity Evolution; Porosity Classification; Attributes of Shallow and Deep-Marine Facies; Models - Platform; Facies Models Ramp.
- DAY 4: Carbonate Depositional Sequences & Cyclicity; Log and Seismic Expression of Carbonates; Core Exercise With Logs.
- DAY 5: Carbonate Play Types and Review of Case Studies; Use of Depositional Cyclicity to Zone Carbonate Reservoirs (Review of Two Case Studies); Carbonate Facies Correlation Exercise.

Workshop Goals
a.. Characterise a Reservoir using inversion, attribute analysis and seismic petrophysics techniques.
b.. Clearly explain the METHODOLOGY used to achieve reservoir characterisation.
c.. De-mystify the arts of INVERSION and ATTRIBUTE ANALYSIS.
d.. Consolidate understanding by practical systematic workshop exercises.
Course Description: -
Course/ Workshop Presenters: - Dr. D Marsden, Mr. A Ardali & Dr. G Stein.
The Seismic Lithology Workshop is a three-day course dedicated to the identification of lithology from seismic, and making particular use of established techniques:
STRATIGRAPHIC INVERSION: LFC, Sparse Spike and Combined Techniques.
ATTRIBUTE ANALYSIS: Clustering, PC Analysis and Classification.
WELL LOG ANALYSIS: Xplots, TD Corrections, and Genetic Optimization.
What this Course will show you: -
a.. How to prepare data for seismic lithology prediction.
b.. How to identify the pitfalls in your data.
c.. How to extract a stable optimum wavelet.
d.. How to apply trace inversion. (Derive acoustic impedance).
e.. How to derive seismic attributes (40+ Attributes).
f.. How to combine seismic attributes and acoustic impedance into hydrocarbon indicators using the latest classification methods.
g.. How to create porosity cubes from Seismic and Well data, integrated using techniques based on genetic optimization.
Computer workshops
Practical workshops illustrate the main lecture topics. A modular structured approach ensures that we impart genuine understanding of the subject matter and techniques involved. All Workshop modules use a data set from the same oil field, revealing the effects of each analysis process as they are incorporated into a complete model of our test reservoir
Who should attend?
Geophysicists, Geologists, Petrophysicists and Reservoir Engineers engaged in developing reservoir models from seismic data. A strong mathematical background is not necessary.
Costs
Course fee is 950 GBP (+vat where appropriate) per attendee.
Course fee is $1400 USD in Houston.
To reserve a place simply email PAIS_GEO@compuserve.com with your name and full company Address and phone number. We will then contact you to confirm.
