Course Objectives:

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Understand Biostratigraphy and Sequence Stratigraphy
• Gain a comprehensive understanding of the principles of biostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy and how they are applied in petroleum exploration and development.
2. Apply Biostratigraphy in Exploration
• Use biostratigraphy for well correlation, basin analysis, paleogeographic reconstruction, and identifying key stratigraphic surfaces and markers.
3. Integrate Sequence Stratigraphy in Exploration
• Understand how sequence stratigraphy can predict reservoir distribution, enhance basin modeling, and improve exploration strategies.
4. Combine Biostratigraphy and Sequence Stratigraphy
• Effectively integrate biostratigraphic data with sequence stratigraphy to improve the understanding of hydrocarbon systems, sediment deposition, and reservoir properties.
5. Apply Stratigraphic Methods in Oil Development
• Use biostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy in reservoir modeling, exploration planning, and the development of oil fields.
6. Analyze Case Studies
• Analyze real-world case studies to understand how these techniques are applied in oil exploration and the development of hydrocarbon resources.

Who Should Attend:

This course is ideal for:

1. Exploration Geologists: Geologists involved in petroleum exploration who want to improve their understanding of stratigraphy and its role in hydrocarbon systems.
2. Petroleum Geologists: Geologists who need to apply biostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy to understand basin evolution and the distribution of reservoirs.
3. Reservoir Engineers: Engineers who want to understand how stratigraphy impacts reservoir modeling, performance, and development.
4. Geophysicists: Geophysicists working with seismic data who want to integrate stratigraphic principles into their interpretation workflows.
5. Geochemists: Geochemists interested in using stratigraphic data to enhance their understanding of source rocks, migration paths, and hydrocarbon systems.
6. Petroleum Engineers: Engineers involved in exploration, development, and production of petroleum who need to understand how stratigraphy impacts reservoir and production planning.
