Shallow Marine and fluvial course


Trainer(s): David Alsop
Duration: 2-4 days

This course provides a detailed insight into shallow marine, deltaic and fluvial system and how their reservoir characteristics influence fluid flow and field development options. Covered in each environment will be reservoir distribution, barriers and baffles, reservoir architecture, correlation methodologies, scale relationships, seismic facies reservoir properties, stratigraphic traps, what elements are important to capture in reservoir modelling, and  how field development and production will be affected.
