Mapping Subsurface Structures - In-house training by PetroSkillsThis course can be conducted on site at your location exclusively for your staff. This course covers the techniques required to confidently map sub-surface structures in 3 dimensions from well data. Not just a collection of rules of thumb, this class presents the fundamental techniques used to reconstruct structures accurately and effectively in 3-D so that you will get the most out of your data. Techniques are taught in easy-to-learn forms for manual use with tracing paper, graphs, and a calculator, but the corresponding computer-mapping strategies are presented and illustrated throughout. Participants will be prepared to develop more accurate structural models of reservoirs, find new traps in old fields, extract the maximum information from exploration wells, and validate or recognize errors in existing interpretations. Experience and confidence is developed by applying the techniques in numerous practical exercises. Dr. Groshong's book, 3-D Structural Geology, is included with the course materials. Find out more
