Seismic and Sequential Stratigraphy

Key topics covered: the concept of sea level, the sedimentary record of sea-level changes, the concept of depositional sequences, the origin of sequences, the identification of sequences, and areas of application (basin/reservoir architecture, reservoir prediction).

- Identification, using seismic data, outcrops, and well data (including log data), of sedimentary units and depositional sequences at various scales (seismic sequences, genetic sequences, and paraséquences).
- Identification of various sedimentary discontinuities (maximum flooding surface, unconformity, transgression high, maximum regression surface, etc.) based on rock, seismic, and log data.
- Mastery of log correlation techniques in genetic stratigraphy (stacking pattern).

Knowledge of facies sedimentology (identification of sedimentary processes and sedimentary environments).
Basic understanding of the interpretation of a reflection seismic profile.

Comprehensive ongoing monitoring.
