GEO101 – Structural Geology

Level: Foundation – 3 Days 
Price: 1200 $/Candidate 

DESCRIPTION:
This course introduces geodynamics, tectonic styles, and environments, as well as practical seismic interpretation based on concepts of structural geology, such as the principle of balancing structural mapping of trap geometries.

TARGET SKILLS:
  • Understand the characteristic geological and seismic imaging concepts of different structural styles.
  • Recognizing structural styles and the associated pitfalls.
  • Master the aspects of interpretation - validation based on the concept and method of structural geology.
DESIGNED FOR: Geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers, and petroleum engineers

PREREQUISITES: Notions of geology

METHOD OF IMPLEMENTATION: Theory
​
PROGRAM: Introduction to geodynamics, tectonic styles, and tectonic environments

DETAILS:
  • The geometry of folds and faults in seismic interpretation
  • Compressive regime and associated structures
  • Extensive regime and related structures
  • Tectonic inversion
  • Salt tectonics and diaperism
  • Kinematic analysis
  • Syntectonic deposit (Growth strata) and seismic interpretation
  • Balancing, Restoration, and Validation
  • Application of the conceptual model construction and its impact on reservoir characterization
  • Structural model
  • 3D model
  • Impact on reservoir characterization
POSSIBLE EXTENSIONS: Siliciclastic reservoirs, Carbonate reservoirs, Natural Fracture Modeling

KEY WORDS: Structural geology, geodynamics, tectonic, structural model
