    Seismic and Sequence Stratigraphy: Exploration Applications

    This workshop-style course presents the concepts and hands-on applications of seismic and sequence stratigraphy for petroleum exploration in siliciclastic settings. All concepts are illustrated with field examples of seismic and well-log data, including more than 150 referenced publications. In-class exercises emphasize the recognition of sequence stratigraphic surfaces, systems tracts and sedimentary stacking architecture at different scales on well-log cross-sections and seismic profiles. Expansion of the same principle’s in carbonate and rift settings conclude the workshop session. Participants will a benefit from a better understanding critical of exploration methodologies, common interpretation pitfalls and the nature of all-important inputs to current sedimentary forward modeling technologies. An overall better appreciation of geological uncertainties, especially as related to stratigraphic traps and migration pathways, will be the minimum take-away.
