COURSE OVERVIEW:

This comprehensive training program provides participants with a robust understanding of clastic reservoir systems and their evaluation using sequence stratigraphy. The course integrates geological, sedimentological, petrophysical, and stratigraphic principles to characterize reservoir architecture, heterogeneity, and flow behavior in clastic environments. Participants will explore depositional systems such as fluvial, deltaic, shallow marine, and deepwater settings, learning how stratigraphic surfaces, stacking patterns, and cyclicity govern reservoir distribution and connectivity. Emphasis is placed on understanding accommodation space, relative sea-level changes, sediment supply, and how these elements shape reservoir geometry and quality.

The course also covers workflow development for integrating core data, well logs, seismic attributes, and dynamic data to construct high-confidence reservoir models. Real-world examples and case studies highlight how sequence stratigraphic interpretation enhances reservoir prediction, development planning, and uncertainty reduction. By the end of the program, participants will be equipped with advanced tools to evaluate clastic reservoirs and apply sequence stratigraphy to guide exploration and reservoir management decisions.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of the course, the participants will be able to:

• Explain key concepts of clastic reservoir systems and their geological controls.
• Identify depositional environments and their impact on reservoir architecture.
• Interpret sedimentary structures and facies relevant to reservoir quality.
• Distinguish between fluvial, deltaic, shallow marine, and deepwater systems.
• Describe the fundamentals of sequence stratigraphy and its major components.
• Recognize key stratigraphic surfaces and stacking patterns.
• Apply accommodation space and sea-level change concepts to reservoir prediction.
• Correlate well logs and core data within a sequence stratigraphic framework.
• Interpret seismic data for stratigraphic and reservoir characterization.
• Construct facies models and reservoir architecture using integrated datasets.
• Evaluate reservoir heterogeneity and connectivity in clastic systems.
• Use stratigraphic principles to forecast reservoir distribution and continuity.
• Assess uncertainty associated with stratigraphic interpretation and reservoir modeling.
• Apply sequence stratigraphy to support exploration, appraisal, and development decisions.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

• Geologists
• Reservoir engineers
• Petrophysicists
• Geophysicists
• Exploration and development professionals
• Technical staff involved in reservoir studies and modeling

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximise the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
