Course Overview

Deltaic Successions produce hydrocarbons worldwide from reservoirs in West Africa (Niger Delta) the North Sea (Brent, Brage, Oseberg), the Barents Sea (Knurr FM), Alaska North Slope (Prudhoe Bay Field), Onshore India (Barmer Basin), Lower Indus Basin (Sembar and Lower Basal Sands), Venezuela (Budare Field, Lagunillas Field). A series of world-class outcrops have been picked from the Colorado Rockies and Book Cliffs of Utah. Participants will be able to see: 1. Distributary channels (single, multistorey and multilateral). 2. Terminal mouth bar sandstones 3. Delta plain paleosols 4. Trangression of deltaic over fluvial strata 5. Compensation stacking of deltaic lobes 6. Fan deltas 7. Growth Faults

Course Outcomes

Delegates will gain knowledge and skills to:

At the end of the course participants will have a greater understanding of and have developed the following key attributes:

• Identify deltaic lithofacies in core

and high N:G seismic facies

• Predict variations in N:G along depositional strike and dip

• Determine which sand and gravel bodies make the best reservoir and whether they are connected or compartmentalized

• Permeability relationships in different lithofacies

• Understand risk associated with stratigraphic traps in deltaic systems

• Gauge reservoir quality of prodeltaic muds as an unconventional resource play

Key Course Highlights

At the end of this course you’ll understand:

            • ✓ World-famous outcrops of the Ferron Sandstone

            • ✓ Seismic-scale exposures

            • ✓ Clearly visible deltaic clinoforms

            • ✓ Incised valleys preserved on top of deltas

            • ✓ Behind outcrop core data

          • ✓ Borehole image logs associated with outcrops
Who Should Attend

The course is designed for geoscientists and reservoir engineers who primarily focus on deltaic successions in an exploration or development capacity.
