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 can be arranged upon request. 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.
