Who should attend?

  • This course provides a comprehensive, practical knowledge and know-how of basin exploration, analysis & modeling workflow, via hands-on activities, case studies for play assessment and prospect definition.
Public :
  • Geologists, geophysicists and reservoir engineers, with 1 to 3 years of experience involved in basin analysis and prospect generation.

Level :Skilled

Prerequisite :
  • Engineering degree, master degree in geosciences or equivalent diploma.
  • Limited experience (1 to 3 years in exploration).

Course Content

  • INFORMATION

      • Lectures, hands-on activities and case studies are distributed all along the program.
      • Training content presents a clear operational orientation in order for participants to get familiar with specific techniques via an extensive exposure to simulations on real cases allowing them to anticipate the problems they will have to cope with later in their own projects.

  • Part 1: EXPLORATION BLOCK MANAGEMENT - Duration : 15 Days

      • Introduction to Basin Exploration
      • Play assessment: From basin analysis to exploration opportunities.
      • Prospect generation and evaluation: from single to multi-prospect portfolio.

  • Part 2: EXPLORATION TECHNIQUES & BASIN MODELING - Duration : 20 Days

      • Structural geology: impact on petroleum system development and maturity.
      • Well logging, qualitative and quantitative log interpretation.
      • 3D seismic interpretation workshop (structural & stratigraphic).

  • Part 3: SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY & BASIN MODELING - Duration : 15 Days

      • Sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy workshop.
      • Stratigraphic modeling (basin architecture and sediment distribution).
      • Basin modeling (thermicity, maturation and migration).

  • Part 4: FINAL PROJECT WORKSHOP - Duration : 15 Days

      • Exploration for prospect generation workshop.

  • PROJECT REPORT DEFENSE & JURY

      • The training program ends with a project on a real case. Participants are involved in a simulated situation and their mission is to summarize, integrate and apply acquired knowledge. Each team will present final results of a project to a jury.

Learning Objectives

  • Attendees will be able to implement the following skills:
  • Have a clear comprehension of analysis methods and techniques applied to basin exploration,
  • Interpret and integrate a dataset to build a coherent model for prospect definition,
  • Contribute to the reduction of uncertainty and risks, and optimize investments.

Ways & Means

  • Hands-on activities and simulations on real cases.
  • Emphasis on practical work to develop participants’ autonomy and appropriate decisions.
  • Both personal and group work, team-building, group discussion in results and workflows.
  • Software tools used in the petroleum industry.
  • Software used during workshops: with courtesy of Beicip-Franlab and Schlumberger.

Learning assessment

  • Weekly knowledge assessment.
  • Initial and final evaluation at the beginning and end of the program.
  • Final project at the end to simulate operational situation to be presented to a jury.
