Carbonate facies analysis and interpretations Open hole & Cased hole Interpretation

This course examines the processes leading to the formation and accumulation of carbonate rocks and how sequence stratigraphy provides a predictive method to understand the formation of these reservoirs and application in oil and gas industry. The principles and the practical application of sequence stratigraphy are studied; together with discussion on how this improves our understanding of subsurface reservoirs. Diagenetic changes that carbonate rocks undergo are also analyzed; and; where possible; set within a sequence stratigraphic framework. Finally; integrating all subsurface data to de-risk hydrocarbon exploration and development from sequence Stratigraphy point of view.
