Learning Outcomes
The aim of this course is to develop practical geological skills applicable to the oil and natural gas industry, embracing the sub-disciplines of clastic and carbonate sedimentology, stratigraphy, and diagenesis.
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Adapt to new situations
- Make decisions
- Work autonomously
Course Content (Syllabus)
Sedimentological and stratigraphic knowledge is crucial in both exploration and development activities, and is fundamental in making predictive models. A practical knowledge of depositional environments which form hydrocarbon reservoirs, linking these together using the techniques of sequence stratigraphy is given. Physics in sedimentology (settling of sediment grains, dimensionless transformations, Reynolds and Froude numbers, laminar and turbulent flow), depth dependent algorithms for simulation of sedimentation in marine environments, as well as existing computer packages for forward modeling of sequence stratigraphy (SEDFLUX, etc) are taught. Examples of sedimentary sequences simulation of coastal, continental shelf and deep-sea environments are presented. The course also includes grain identification under stereoscopic microscope, observation of drill cuttings, sedimentary analysis techniques, petrophysical properties determination, and field exercise of borehole coring, core logging and macroscopic examination and description of the cores.
