Seismic interpretation requires understanding of structural
development and its interrelation with the stratigraphic system. This course covers a variety of modern structural concepts and techniques, and their role in the interpretation of seismic data.
This course is designed for geologists, petrophysicists,
geophysicists, reservoir engineers, and exploration & production managers.
This course is designed to develop the participant’s knowledge
of the various forms of geological data and establish methods to integrate this data and construct play fairway maps. These play maps, in addition to simple exploration statistics, are then used to develop exploration strategies. This is a ‘hands on’ team-based course using real data and examples.
This course is designed for geologists, geophysicists, or
engineers with limited experience in play map-based
hydrocarbon exploration.
Geological structure is the study of the permanent deformation and rock failure created by the changes in stress through geologic time. It is by far the most important aspect of geology for engineers to understand. Tectonic processes are responsible for the many discontinuity planes (fractures, faults, joints) that permeate rock masses controlling their strength, stress-strain characteristics and the transmission and storage of fluids.
This course is designed for geologists and oil & gas professionals who need an enhanced understanding of structure. This includes geologists, petroleum engineers, and geophysicists involved in the development of oil and gas reservoirs.
This course is designed for participants to develop their skills in
understanding the geometry and petrophysical characteristics
of carbonate reservoirs. Depositional fabric, grain type
and size and subsequent diagenetic modifications are the
major controls on carbonate reservoir behaviour. The course
demonstrates the value of the reservoir model in volumetric
assessment and development of carbonate reservoirs. Extensive practical sessions can utilise your own data or Robertson CGG Company’s extensive non-exclusive data.
This course is designed for petroleum geologists, explorationists, petrophysicists, geophysicists, and engineers involved with exploration of carbonate plays and development of carbonate reservoirs.
The course will demonstrate how the appropriate use of
geological information can lead to better management
decisions and thus improve the value of oil & gas projects.
This course is designed as an introductory course for new hire
graduate geologists, geophysicists or engineers, with limited
experience of hydrocarbon exploration
The course will look at what information is gathered during
drilling from wellsite geology, mud logging and petrophysical
logs, and how it is used. At the end of this course, participants
are expected to have an understanding of how petroleum
is formed, how it migrates and how it is trapped, and of the
principles of rotary drilling and the mud circulation system.
This course is designed for exploration, development, well site
and operations geologists.
This course is designed with the intention of demonstarting
the degree of integration necessary in developing an offshore
petroleum discovery, from field appraisal to development. The
course gives a comprehensive account of the methodology,
processes and techniques utilized in developing an offshore oil
or gas discovery.
This course is designed for project managers, field development and planning engineers, asset managers, petroleum engineers, reservoir engineers, as well as field geoscientists and managers who have an interest in or are involved in field development feasibility and planning.
This course is designed to introduce participants to the
concepts of sequence stratigraphy. It ranges from a review of
the development of this discipline, to the principles behind
the theory, examples of its application to the prediction of
lithofacies and stratal architecture.
This course is designed for explorationists, geologists,
stratigraphers and geophysicists who wish to extend
their knowledge through integration of seismic sequence
stratigraphy, with well log sequence stratigraphy and the
application of biostratigraphy to sequence stratigraphy.
This course will provide a comprehensive and clear
understanding of the technical and commercial operation of the oil & gas industry. The course will look at the industry principles, such as: exploration & production, geology, transportation, storage, prices, and legal and commercial systems.
This course is designed for new executives to the industry,
commercial managers, various engineering disciplines, HR
managers, marketing, sales, and legal & commercial managers
This course will cover the road map (workflow) used in data
preparation and data analysis to build a coherent 3D static
model of the reservoir; how geological, petrophysical, seismic,
rock properties (SCAL) and dynamic data are integrated in a
consistent manner using judicious techniques.
This course is designed for geologists, geophysicists or
engineers with 5-7 years of experience. It assumes some basic
geoscience and engineering knowledge, but no prior hands-on experience on 3D modelling techniques used to interpret the datasets presented in this course.
