About this Training Course

Technologies available today allow us to zoom in to the details of the subsurface in a manner that was not possible some time ago.  While this provides much valuable insight into prospect-specific details, it may also result in us neglecting the regional aspects of the geology.  In a Play-Based Exploration approach the 'play' is the main focus of evaluation.  Considering prospects in a context of regional basin development and play understanding will results in a better understanding of risks and opportunities, as well as in a greater consistency of prospect assessments.

This 3-day training course will introduce participants to the Play-Based Exploration workflow through many individual and group exercises and discussions.  The core of the course is a large group exercise based on a real data set.  Based on data provided, participants will make reservoir, seal, charge and structural maps, followed by Play maps and CRS maps. The difference in and use of prospect-specific and play-based probabilities will be explained by examples and exercises. It will also be explained how play statistics can serve as a guide for prospect assessment and for assessing the (remaining) potential of a basin.
