Why Choose this Training Course

This deepwater sedimentology training covers the theory and application of sedimentology and depositional environments of deep-water deposits. The deepwater sedimentology training comprises an extensive series of topic-related modules, with provision to include workshops on Client &/or student datasets.

A good understanding of how depositional processes control the distribution of deepwater reservoir and non-reservoir rocks in the subsurface is of fundamental importance to sound EP decision making. This applies throughout a field’s lifecycle, all the way from the exploration phase, through appraisal, field development and finally field abandonment.

We are also a proud member of the Energy Institute of UK.

Who Should Attend

Seismic interpreters, processors, stratigraphers and structural geologists, reservoir engineers, and students of geophysics.

Key Learning Objectives

• Master the fundamental controls of soft rock geology, stratigraphy, and sedimentology on reservoir characteristics and fluid flow in the E&P sector.
• Analyze the unique characteristics of deepwater petroleum systems, including trap styles, mobile substrates, and the role of DHIs/AVO in exploration risk.
• Differentiate between various deepwater mass-flow depositional mechanisms (slumps, debris flows, turbidites) and their implications for reservoir quality and architecture.
• Evaluate the interplay of sea level, sediment supply, and tectonic setting in controlling the deposition and dimensions of clastic and carbonate deepwater systems.
• Apply learnings from diverse global case studies (e.g., Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, Nigeria) to characterize, model, and optimize production from complex deepwater reservoirs.
