Basin Analysis - BA: An Integrated Approach
Exploration Geology
Intermediate

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Geoscientists who require a practical familiarity with the application of a variety of state-of-the-art conventional and unconventional tools of hydrocarbon evaluation to sedimentary basins.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Basin analysis demands an integrated approach from explorationists. It can be both inappropriate, and misleading, to suggest that the tectonic-thermal-sedimentologic evolution of any one basin is an established fact, or even that all basins submit to the same simple and equivocal models. This (five-day) course provides the theory, methods, and practice for participants to develop and optimize their own individual basin evaluation and modeling modus operandi. Incorporated as practical problems for workshop analysis and significant group discussion are case histories from throughout the world utilizing geologic, geophysical, and geochemical data. Areas for analysis are selected from the Middle East, and students construct and interpret their own geo-history subsidence curves using up-t0-date software for basin modeling.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of the workshop the participants will able to:

  • Systematically assess the evolution of a basin’s petroleum system criticals through space and time through a non-linear parallel approach integrating geology, geophysics, and geochemistry
  • Deconstruct a basin through space and time and build predictive basin models useful in exploration.
  • Evaluate the geomechanical fundamentals controlling a basin’s burial history through tectonic subsidence analysis
  • Determine the thermal history of a basin and its importance upon source maturity dynamics
  • Relate organic source quantity and quality to sedimentary processes and environments
  • Delineate migration pathways through space and time
  • Characterize the essentials of reservoir and seal quality
  • Construct and analyze Petroleum events chart
  • Classify basins for optimizing their exploration and development
