About this Training
Carbonate sequences are extremely complex to characterize in terms of reservoir geometries and properties. Carbonate sequences are developed under the control not only of physical but also biological parameters and results in a variety of geometries that vary greatly in 3D. These intervals are also strongly affected by shallow to deep burial diagenetic process that modify the reservoir properties of the different facies and impact on the geometries and distribution of reservoir facies. Finally carbonate sequences are also often affected by fault and fracturing that strongly control the circulation of fluids within these sequences. Seismic can be often an excellent tool to map the different depositional settings and to understand the distribution, vertical and lateral variability of good reservoir intervals.
This course introduces to the complexity associated to carbonate sequences and the best way to characterize them using 2D and 3D seismic. Several case studies from around the world will be also shown. In each module various examples from around the world and from different tectonic settings and different carbonate depositional settings will be shown. Most of the modules will have also real case studies with 2D and 3D seismic to better explain and visualize the key concepts.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Learn the carbonate depositional environment characterization
- Explore the diagenesis and fracturing in carbonates
- Improve seismic quality and impact on seismic interpretation
- Recognize the differences and challenges in different tectonic settings
- Know how to integrate all the data for a full picture of the reservoir
- Master the prediction tool for seismic forward modelling in carbonates
This course is designed for those who are involved in carbonate projects during the exploration and/or appraisal and/or development stages at the regional or field scale.

Your expert course leader is a seasoned Senior Technical Advisor with an extensive track record spanning over 25 years within the upstream oil and gas industry. His remarkable journey includes serving as the Technical Director for Delta Energy and occupying crucial technical roles at renowned organizations such as TOTAL S.A. and FINA E&P. His career commenced with Arco British Ltd, where he embarked on his remarkable path in the field.
Throughout his career, he has been at the forefront of multifaceted studies, contributing his expertise to every stage of the upstream process. This encompasses early exploration and basin assessment, comprehensive reservoir characterization, strategic planning and execution of seismic and drilling operations, prospect generation, initial production efforts, sophisticated reservoir modeling, and the re-evaluation of aging hydrocarbon fields and basins. His specialized focus lies in carbonates and fractured reservoirs, where his profound knowledge has been honed. His impactful projects have spanned across four continents, encompassing a diverse range of tectonic settings and sedimentary basins. Additionally, his commitment to knowledge sharing and professional development is evident through his facilitation of more than 60 technical training courses. These courses have benefitted over 950 professionals, equipping them with the tools and methodologies necessary for effective characterization of carbonate and fractured reservoirs.
