Course Details
After the overwhelming success of our field trip on the seismic expression of carbonate platforms we were requested to teach a similar course but one that focused more on the “reservoir-scale.”
We have now created a course that combines outcrops in the field and subsurface core data to present a wide range of microbial carbonate analogs for everyone working on the Pre-Salt Carbonates of Brazil, the Pricaspian Basin of Kazakhstan the Norwegian Barents Sea and the Permian and Paradox Basins of the US.
We will be presenting case-histories associated with each one of these such that participants leave the course with a thorough understanding of depositional processes that affect the distribution and quality of microbialite reservoirs.
If you would prefer a 5-day classroom course in carbonates arranged at your office we can happily arrange that. If you choose to do this in Abu Dhabi, Bali or Islamabad, then we can add a field component as well.
A 5-day version specific to lacustrine carbonates along the Atlantic Margin (including pre-salt carbonates of Brazil) that covers both modern and ancient microbialites is running May 2-6, 2022. That field trip starts in Salt Lake City, UT where we show participants examples of modern stromatolites, then spend a day looking at the core from oil-bearing microbial reservoirs in the Eocene Green River Formation before heading to a Spherulite location. If you want to sign up for this trip contact us ASAP and we will email you a different course outline.
Who Should Attend
• Geologists • Geophysicists
• Petrophysicists
• Engineers
This course is meant for all who are working on carbonate reservoirs in an exploration or development capacity. This course is particularly useful for those interpreting core, thin-sections and well-logs from microbial carbonate reservoirs.
