About this Training
Fold-and-thrust belts contain major hydrocarbon accumulations in complex structural traps. Hydrocarbon exploration in many onshore fold-and-thrust belts is commonly very difficult because of rugged topography and complex structures. Seismic interpretation in these terrains could be arduous due to the generally poor quality of seismic data. The correct application of thrust tectonics concepts and the relationships between folding and thrusting (e.g., thrust-related folding) become a powerful tool helping the interpreter in deciphering and reconstructing the complex subsurface geometries of structural traps.
This course provides an overview on how the use of the concepts of structural geology can be applied to make better structural interpretations. The principles behind the construction of balanced cross-sections are discussed. The participants will learn theoretical and technical approaches to seismic structural interpretation of compressional structures illustrated by numerous examples from around the world and experienced by hands-on exercises.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Master the principles and definitions of fold-and-thrust belts
- Explore the seismic imaging in thrust belts
- Learn the lesson during the exploration in thrust belts
- Familiar with the principles of balancing and restoration
- Understand seismic interpretation through 2D and 3D case studies
This course is designed for those who are working in thrust belt settings during the exploration and/or appraisal and/or development stages of the project.
- Geoscientists
- Geologists
- Seismic Interpreters
- Geophysicists
- Reservoir engineers
- Exploration and Production team
- Petrophysicists
- Intermediate
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.
