About This Course

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of fundamental principles and terminology associated with sequence stratigraphy, the processes involved in the formation of stratigraphic sequences, evolution of models historically applied to sequence stratigraphy, application of the sequence stratigraphic method to real life situations, and cautions that need to be recognized in its application, including when the process should not be used. Participants will learn to identify key surfaces, predict facies distributions, and apply sequence stratigraphic concepts to exploration and reservoir characterization.  Each day includes two approximately 2-hour sessions, followed by case-study exercises using real-world datasets, including seismic, well log, and outcrop data.
