Who Should Attend:

Multidisciplinary teams (4-5 persons with a maximum of 20 per workshop) of petroleum geologists, geophysicists and engineers (from 0-10 years experience) who are involved in integrated regional projects, basin evaluations and prospect identification.

Overview:

This workshop is designed to provided a thorough understanding of modern concepts of assessment of a basin for hydrocarbon potential, from initial data gathering, to integration of all data sources to define play types, identify prospects and assess risk.

Objectives:

Principal objectives of the programme are to train small multidisciplinary groups in:

• Play fairway mapping and acreage evaluation
• Project planning and management

The groups will act as exploration teams/asset groups competing to acquire the best exploration blocks and prospects.

Dataset:

Training will provide role-play in the simulation of a real situation using either an extensive Fugro Robertson database or the client's own data. The database will include:

• Regional information, publications, reports and maps
• Processed seismic and top structure maps in time and depth
• Non-seismic (gravity/magnetic) data
• Well data: logs, tests and analytical information on stratigraphy, source potential and maturity, core analysis, etc.

Content:

Groups will conduct the project work themselves under the supervision and guidance of Fugro Robertson staff:

• Module 1 - Project planning and data collection/collation
• Module 2 - Geophysical assessment, tectonic and structural development of the basin
• Module 3 - Stratigraphy and facies mapping: identification of reservoir/seal potential
• Module 4 - Source rock facies and hydrocarbon generation
• Module 5 - Play fairway mapping
• Module 6 - Prospect evaluation
