Advanced Structural Geology with Geomechanical Application Course
Introduction:
This course builds upon the principles of geo-mechanics to establish a solid understanding of structural geological concepts and seismic interpretation. Beginning with an overview of geo-mechanics, the course focuses on the primary tectonic regimes and their corresponding structural features.
Participants will delve into structural concepts, the evolution of structures, various structural styles, and the geometries observed within each tectonic regime. The course incorporates practical exercises and real-life case studies, offering a dynamic and interactive workshop format.
Course Objectives:
- DIFFERENTIATE the structural regimes manifestations, and their key features in 2D or 3D seismic data
- UNDERSTAND the basic element of hydrocarbon generation, tectonic regimes, and their significance for petroleum geology
- DEDUCE vital stress information from structural geometries
- LEARN to quantify stresses in the subsurface and APPLY this to exploration and production of hydrocarbons
- LESSEN the uncertainties by reducing the degrees of freedom in geological modeling
- UNDERSTAND the benefits and pitfalls of state of the art seismic and image logging techniques
Who Should Attend?
The course is designed for Geologists and Geophysicists with a solid academic background in structural geology concepts and with current or past exploration/development assignments and work experience in structurally complex regions.
- Geoscientists
