Exploration Data Contouring, Mapping and Interpretation Course
Introduction:
This course aims to equip participants with the necessary skills in map data contouring, which are essential for generating reliable and high-quality maps in support of exploration and production activities in the Petroleum Industry. The session will focus on the role of exploration as a means of uncovering hidden hydrocarbon reserves. It will emphasize the importance of maintaining a positive approach to interpreting and mapping subsurface geological features, as well as constructing maps that effectively showcase exploration possibilities and drilling opportunities with accuracy.
The course covers reliable methods for detecting, developing, and visually representing subsurface features that may not be immediately apparent, especially in areas where limited well and seismic data are available. These methods are illustrated through case history examples. Additionally, the session includes a review of computer-generated maps and their practical application.
Participants will receive a comprehensive set of course materials and enjoy provided lunches throughout the course. This course has been successfully completed by over four thousand professionals, including oil industry geologists, geophysicists, technicians, engineers, and students. Many major oil companies now incorporate this course into their core staff-training programs, recognizing its value in enhancing subsurface mapping skills.
Course Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:
- Understanding the exploration data source and the nature of rocks
- The relationships between tectonic forces and structural features
- The different types of rocks classification
- Understanding the trapping system and types of traps using map interpretation
- Importance of data interpretation and mapping in the petroleum industry
- Applying the seismic interpretation and Mapping using petrel software providing a big chance for getting the knowledge of how to use the software for reasonable interpretation and map contouring
