Not many course providers offer detailed technical courses in sedimentology and stratigraphy as it pertains to the oil and gas business. This course is taught by a consultant who spends the majority of his time solving real-world problems using subsurface data in industry. The course is richly illustrated in seismic, log and core data which are from the instructor’s own teaching collection and cannot be found.
Carbonates host about 60% of the world’s hydrocarbon reserves. Even at exceedingly low oil prices, unconventional carbonate plays are still economic. This course covers a step-by-step systematic methodology on tackling the complexity associated with carbonate reservoirs. Modules not only cover the basics of carbonate production, evaporite associations, and sequence stratigraphy but get into topics that directly influence production such as fractures and pore networks. Exercises include examples of real sub-surface data such as well logs, seismic lines, seismic horizon slices, core, and thin-section data. By the end of the course participants will be aware of the commonly encountered challenges one faces in the exploration and development of carbonate reservoirs and how to handle them.
o Introduction to Carbonate Reservoirs
o Determination of carbonate platform type
o Carbonate-evaporite associations
o Case studies using sub-surface data

o Classification schemes for microbialites
Exercise: thin-sections and core
o Seismic Sequence Analysis
o How to mark reflection termination
o ABC-Method of seismic facies analysis
Exercise: seismic data provided by the instructor
o Carbonate Sequence Stratigraphy
o Effect of relative sea-level change on carbonate reservoir distribution
o Ichnology And Diagenesis
o Identification of common ichnofacies
o Complex world of carbonate diagenesis
o Fracturing And Mechanical Stratigraphy
o Process of fracturing
o Case studies from producing carbonate reservoirs
o Reservoir Characterization
o Carbonate pore types classification
Exercise: how to calculate NetGross
Exercise: on common issue geomodelers face in carbonates
o Unconventional Resource Plays
o Case studies for shallow marine carbonates
Dr. Ali Jaffri is the CEO of Applied Stratigraphix LLC, has a doctorate in geology, and specializes in sequence stratigraphy. He has nineteen years of experience in sedimentology and stratigraphy related projects in the North Sea, Lower and Middle Indus Basins, Barents Sea, Offshore East, and West Africa, Offshore Mid-Norway, Kohat-Potohar Basin and most US onshore basins.
His doctorate at Colorado State University focused on sequence stratigraphy of mixed carbonate-siliciclastic-evaporite systems. Masters Degree was acquired from Oklahoma State University and thesis focused on fractured carbonate reservoirs. Bachelors from the University of Colorado at Boulder involved fieldwork on fluvial stratigraphy.
Equally proficient in carbonates and clastics, he has trained over 500 oil and gas professionals from 34 companies in 10 different countries.
This course is designed for :
o Geologists and Geophysicists
o Petrophysicists and Engineers
o Graduate Students (Masters or Doctorate)
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
o Develop a thorough understanding of relative sea-level changes and their effect on the distribution of source and reservoirs rocks.
o Create an awareness amongst participants about the limitations of lithocorrelation and the benefits of chrono-correlation.
o Prepare participants for realistic facies modeling in the creation of geomodels.
