Short Course Catalogue
WWW.LEARNINGGEOSCIENCE.ORG
Welcome Words On behalf of the Board of the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE), please allow me to introduce EAGE Short Courses in which you will find a complete overview of EAGE Short Courses. EAGE offers approximately 80 Short Courses, most of them multidisciplinary, with durations ranging from one to five days. The EAGE courses are usually focused on topics that are not offered by commercial organizations and based on state-ofthe-art methods and techniques. Our courses are designed to increase knowledge and awareness of new methodologies for geoscience specialists. These short courses do not only reflect the latest scientific developments in geosciences but also demonstrate applications of these theories to real-life problems. EAGE uses the knowledge and expertise of its members and network to select course instructors who are experienced and acknowledged industry professionals and academics. Instructor biographies are available at www.learninggeoscience.org. EAGE focuses on the delivery of short courses to the open public and organizes its courses in different formats worldwide; • EAGE Education Days • EAGE Education Tours • Short Courses at EAGE Conferences and Workshops • Standalone Short Courses • In-house Courses * As an additional service, EAGE organizes some of the Short Courses as an in-house course based on instructor’s availability. Companies or organizations may request an EAGE Short Course to be delivered at their premises as a private course, which may be tailored according to the learning needs of the requester. These courses are marked with an * for your convenience in this catalogue. To emphasize the quality of EAGE educational activities, I am delighted to inform you that in March 2013 EAGE became the first official Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Provider of the ‘European Geologist’ title, which is a professional accreditation established by the European Federation of Geologists (EFG). For more information about this accreditation system and corresponding EAGE learning activities please visit www.eage.org and www.learninggeoscience.org. I strongly encourage you to participate in the Short Courses organized by EAGE. I am sure that you will be positively surprised by the high quality and professionalism of the courses.
About EAGE and Learning Geoscience EAGE is a professional association for geoscientists and engineers. Founded in 1951, it is a non-profit organization with a worldwide membership providing a global network of commercial and academic professionals. The association is truly multidisciplinary and international in form and pursuits. EAGE believes that it is vitally important for all geoscientists to keep up-to-date on the latest developments in their field and in recent years has significantly increased its educational programmes, which have attracted excellent attendance worldwide. Learning Geoscience, the Education portal of EAGE, delivers its Short Courses at multiple events worldwide. For example at the EAGE Annual Conference and other conferences, the EAGE Education Days, which are organized globally, during the EAGE Education Tour (EET) and as stand-alone courses. All the Short Courses are up-to-date and include the latest technologies in the respective field.
Accreditation In March 2013 EAGE became the first official Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Provider of the ‘European Geologist’ title, which is a professional accreditation established by the European Federation of Geologists (EFG). In order to obtain and maintain this title, the holder must provide a record of high-quality CPD activities, which include short courses such as the ones presented in this catalogue.

Course Description: This AVO (Amplitude Versus Offset) course is a one-day short course introducing the basics of AVO, rock physics and seismic inversion (without lots of equations) supplemented by several case studies showing the practical application of the methods and potential pitfalls to be aware of when using these techniques. The course is aimed at people with little or no practical AVO experience and is designed to equip them with some basic techniques to perform AVO work themselves and to critically assess AVO, rock physics and seismic inversion studies when presented with them. The course is conducted in an open seminar format with key course notes provided to participants. Active discussion and shared learning are encouraged. Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to understand the commercial application of AVO, rock physics and seismic inversion methods; what the results tell you and the possible limitations and errors in those results. Participants will be in a better position to critically analyze the results of such studies presented to them by contractors or partner companies. Participants will also be shown techniques to enable them to undertake some simple reconnaissance AVO procedures. Participants’ Profile: Interpreters, geologists, geophysicists and other geoscience disciplines who have an interest in understanding how AVO, rock physics and seismic inversion are applied in real-world studies. Prerequisites: Participants should have some knowledge of seismic data (prestack and post-stack) and well log data.

Course Description: Full-waveform inversion is gaining attention as potentially the final and ultimate solution to the Earth’s resolution and imaging objective. This objective will be met when we fully address and solve FWI’s many challenges and chief among them, its ability to handle the anisotropic nature of the Earth. This course combines the fundamentals of FWI with what is needed to make it work practically in anisotropic media. The multi-parameter nature of such an inversion requires a careful setup of the inversion problem and this course will provide the foundation to do so.
Course Description: This course will provide an overview of the capabilities, current limitations and likely future developments of 3D FWI. It will demonstrate both the benefits that are currently realizable using today’s implementations, data sets and hardware and outline the longer-term potential for FWI to replace conventional PSDM. At a practical level, it will discuss problem selection, optimal data acquisition for FWI, preprocessing, integration with conventional workflows, common pitfalls, hardware requirements, implementation, efficiency and effectiveness.
Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to understand: • The scientific foundation behind full-waveform inversion • The FWI challenges • Wave propagation in anisotropic media • Anisotropy + Migration velocity analysis • Anisotropy + FWI
Course Objectives: The course objectives are to demonstrate to decision makers the actual and potential benefits of fullwavefield tomographic techniques and to outline to end-users the practical steps that are required to implement, optimize and utilize these methods so as to apply them effectively on real seismic data sets.
Participants’ Profile: The course is designed for geophysics, mathematicians and physicists working on problems related to seismic imaging of the Earth and building the necessary velocity models to do so. Prerequisites: Some knowledge on the physics of seismic wave propagation
Participants’ Profile: The course is aimed at decision makers in both operating and service companies who are interested in learning what full-wavefield tomographic techniques can and cannot currently offer to their business, clients and competitors and what it is likely to offer in the future; and at geoscientists who will be end-users, interested in implementing and applying these techniques efficiently and effectively to solve real problems on real data sets in both exploration and production. Prerequisites: Knowledge of industry practice in conventional seismic imaging is required. The course will not assume prior exposure to FWI techniques and will not employ a mathematical description of the underlying theory.

Course Description: The state of stress within the Earth has a profound effect on the propagation of seismic and borehole acoustic waves and this leads to many important applications of elastic waves for solving problems in petroleum geomechanics. The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of the sensitivity of elastic waves in the Earth to the in-situ stress, pore pressure and anisotropy of the rock fabric resulting from the depositional and stress history of the rock and to introduce some of the applications of this sensitivity. The course will provide the basis for applying geophysics and rock physics solutions to geomechanical challenges in exploration, drilling and production. A variety of applications and real data examples will be presented and particular emphasis will be placed on the rock physics basis underlying the use of geophysical data for solving geomechanical problems. This course was a SEG/ EAGE DISC 2010 course. Participants’ Profile: The integrated nature of this course means that it is suitable for individuals from all subsurface disciplines including geophysics, geomechanics, rock physics, petrophysics, geology, geomodeling and drilling and reservoir and petroleum engineering. The short-course presentation, limited to one day, will provide an overview of the basic concepts and applications and minimizes the use of mathematical developments. As a result, the course presentation does not require a theoretical background and can be attended by a broad section of working geoscientists and engineers interested in applying geophysical data to the solution of geomechanical problems. The course book will provide support for the course and further extend some of the more technical considerations.

Course Description: The course will start with a review of migration and then move on to cover the motivations for building detailed velocity models and briefly discuss the inherent limitations on our ability to build a detailed model. Currentday practice will be covered, exemplified via several case studies and will end with a synopsis of the less well-known and emerging techniques. Course Objectives: The course objective is to provide participants with a firm understanding of the processes and assumptions involved in building velocity-depth models and of the limitations of various migration algorithms. Participants’ Profile: Geophysicists with an interest in migration and velocity model building and geologists (with a basic knowledge of data processing) who wish to understand a bit more about how the images they look at are created. Prerequisites: Participants ideally need to have some knowledge of basic data processing.

Course Description: There seems to be a very recent acceleration in the evolution of seismic acquisition. Offshore, wide-azimuth surveys have resulted in images of remarkable clarity. On land, increase in channel count has allowed the use of denser grids leading to significant noise reduction. Both onshore and offshore, the race for bandwidth extension is tenser than ever. This course presents these developments as a natural consequence of the conjunction of our need for clearer seismic images and the availability of recent technological advances. The core of the course is the relationship between acquisition parameters and seismic image quality. This course was a SEG/EAGE DISC 2011 course. Course Objectives: Survey design is discussed but not covered in detail. Upon completion, the participant will be able to: • Improve knowledge of where seismic acquisition comes from and where it may be going. • Gain the capability to distinguish between signal and noise parts – at least for most cases. • Understand the available leverage on signal and noise as well as the leverage that is not available. • Most importantly, understand that there is a relationship between acquisition parameters and seismic image quality. Ideally increase their knowledge of this relationship. Participants’ Profile: All those interested in seismic imagery. The acquisition geophysicist may discover an unfamiliar presentation of familiar concepts. The processing geophysicist may discover the causes of some types of perturbations in seismic images. Likewise, the interpreter may gain understanding of the limitations in seismic images. The mathematical level of this course is elementary, although those with no idea of what the Fourier transform is may find some chapters difficult to follow. Those with no prior knowledge of seismic reflection would profit from advance reading of chapters 2 (especially the definitions) and 3, which will be presented relatively fast in this oneday course. Young professionals or students with no industrial experience will find the presentation very different from those given in universities. CROSS DISCIPLINE

The course aims to understand the links between the geophysical parameters measured with airborne surveys and petrophysical properties.
Course Description: Elastic anisotropy can strongly influence seismic data. This course discusses modeling, inversion and processing of seismic reflection and VSP data in the presence of anisotropy. The most critical step in extending existing processing techniques to anisotropic media is to identify and estimate the medium parameters responsible for measured seismic signatures.
Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to understand the essentials of airborne geophysics so that they can evaluate the usefulness and application potential of the methods and results in their projects. They will also be able to design new airborne surveys to meet their project needs.
Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to understand that: • Seismic anisotropy is a real feature of the subsurface. It is caused by a number of factors (e.g., lithology, fractures, fine layering) that can be quantified, leading to a better characterization of the subsurface. • Any attempt of extracting more information from seismic data necessitates taking anisotropy into account. • There exist established techniques for estimating anisotropy from seismic data.
Participants’ Profile: The course is designed for geologists and geophysicists working in geological mapping, minerals exploration and engineering projects. Prerequisites: The level of presentation is foundational for the one-day course and intermediate for the three-day course, with the main emphasis on understanding the prerequisites, strengths and limitations of airborne survey methods.

Course Description: Imaging in the time domain still remains an important processing and interpretation tool. Moreover, for complex models that request the use of prestack depth migration, time imaging usually constitutes a key first step. The proposed course discusses: • time-imaging procedures (Multifocusing and Common Reflection Surface) when each image trace is constructed by stacking traces not belonging to the same CMP gather; • diffraction imaging based on scattered rather than reflected energy with an aim to image small-scale seismic objects including fractures; • imaging without precise knowledge of the subsurface velocity model based on an analogy to the Feynman path integral. Course Objectives: The course presents a new vision on modern seismic data processing and imaging and discusses its advantages and limitations. It describes a wide range of emerging technologies (besides depth migration and full-waveform inversion) aimed to increase reliability and resolution of the seismic method.

Course Description: This course demonstrates how and why geophysics adds value to reservoir management using examples from multiple geological environments (deepwater turbidites, onshore fluvial, near-shore deltaics and carbonates). The instructor examines and illustrates the dependencies of geology and engineering data on geophysical applications during reservoir management and exposes participants to a variety of geophysical tools used in reservoir work. Participants will become familiar with the application and value of geophysics for users (customers) as well as the inherent risks and uncertainties. Participants’ Profile: This course is designed primarily for geophysicists of all backgrounds who are or will be supporting delineation, development and/or production of oil- and gasfields. This includes interpreters, processors, researchers and service employees. The course is predominantly conceptual and graphical showing use by example and no theoretical background in geophysics is required. Therefore, the course is also highly applicable to geologists, engineers and managers engaged in reservoir management of oil- and gasfields and who use, or need to use, geophysics.
Prerequisites: Participants should have knowledge of: • Basic signal processing (convolution, correlation, Fourier transform) • Basic seismic processing (preprocessing, imaging) • Basic acoustic wave equation and wave propagation

Course Description: This short course will give an introduction to reservoir model design, covering the following main design elements: • Model Purpose • The Rock Model • The Property Model • Model Scaling • Handling Uncertainty
Course Description: Building a 3D Earth model in depth is needed not only for accurate seismic imaging but also for linking well data (such as logs and cores) and reservoir simulations. Tomography can build a 3D macro-model for P and S velocities that integrates surface and well data, as well as active and passive seismic. This short course will introduce the basic concepts of traveltime inversion keeping all the mathematics at a very basic level.
In this course, Mark Bentley and Philip Ringrose share their insights into building geological reservoir models, covering clastic and carbonate sedimentary depositional systems, as well as fractured reservoirs. The connection between geology and fluid flow is developed with a focus on designing fit-forpurpose models with consideration of implications for single‐ phase and multiphase flow and with examples of application to oil and gas reservoirs and to CO2 storage. This is a shorter version of a 5-day course and so is intended as an introduction to the main concepts.
Course Objectives: Participants will be able to appreciate the basic simplicity of tomographic inversion of traveltimes and recognize and avoid pitfalls of its application to real data. Reducing estimation errors, especially when it comes to passive seismic, is a key goal of the course. Several application examples will highlight the impact of these techniques for the industry, highlighting a key role of tomography for integrating surface to borehole and active to passive seismic data.
Course Objectives: Know how to approach a reservoir modeling task and assess the key design elements – distinguish between ‘good’ and ‘bad’. Participants’ Profile: Geologists, Geophysicists, Petrophysicists or Reservoir Engineers who have or wish to work in multi-disciplinary teams on reservoir development projects.
Participants’ Profile: Welcome participants include professionals involved in seismic interpretation and processing, petroleum engineers engaged with reservoir characterization and simulation, graduate students or research scientists. Prerequisites: Participants should have a Bachelor or Master Degree in Geosciences, or a few years of experience in this field.
Prerequisites: Participants should have good knowledge of at least one component of multi-disciplinary reservoir modeling: e.g., geological modeling, geostatistics, petrophysics, rock physics or reservoir simulation.

Course Description: Borehole fluid injections are typical for the stimulation and development of hydrocarbon or geothermal reservoirs. The fact that fluid injection causes seismicity has been well-established for several decades. Current ongoing research is aimed at quantifying and controlling this process. Understanding and monitoring of fluid-induced seismicity can help us to characterize reservoirs and estimate results of their stimulations. This course provides a systematic introduction into a quantitative description of fluid-induced microseismicity. The course will include elements of earthquake physics, geomechanics, rock physics and poromechanics. A clear relation to passive seismic monitoring and reservoir characterization will be established. Real data examples related to hydraulic fracturing and reservoir stimulation will be broadly used and discussed. Participants’ Profile: Geophysicists, geologists, petrophysicists, reservoir engineers, graduate and postgraduate students, researchers, interpreters and other persons involved in geosciences. Prerequisites: Participants should have basic knowledge of physics, mathematics and geological sciences.

Course Description: This course covers the fundamentals of rock physics, ranging from basic laboratory and theoretical results to practical recipes that can be immediately applied in the field. We will present qualitative and quantitative tools for understanding and predicting the effects of lithology, pore fluid types and saturation, stress and pore pressure, fractures and temperature on seismic velocity and attenuation. Moreover, we will show the importance and benefit of linking rock physics to geologic processes, including depositional and compactional trends. We further document that lithology substitution can be as equally important as fluid substitution during seismic reservoir prediction. It is important in exploration and appraisal to extrapolate away from existing wells, taking into account how the depositional environment changes as well as burial depth trends. In this way rock physics can better constrain the geophysical inversion and classification problem in underexplored marginal fields, surrounding satellite areas, or in new frontiers. Course Objectives: The ultimate goal is to improve the understanding of seismic amplitudes and predict geologic and reservoir parameters from seismic inversion data. Upon completion, participants will able to: • Understand the link between geologic processes and rock physics properties • Understand pore fluid / rock interactions during wave propagation • Understand upscaling and heterogeneous reservoirs • Comprehend shale and carbonate rock physics Participants’ Profile: The course is intended for geophysicists, geologists and petrophysicists who are involved in quantitative seismic interpretation, both within exploration and production.

Course Description: The process of migration, whereby a proper image in time or depth of the subsurface is obtained, is directly related with the velocity model that both serves as input for the migration process as well as being the result of such a migration. Therefore migration and velocity model building are intimately related processes. The course emphasizes for each method the underlying geophysical model together with its assumptions and strengths and weaknesses; many examples will be shown to illustrate the material; theory with references will be included; a handout that covers all course material will be made available. Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course the participants will have obtained a complete overview and thorough understanding of the many alternative methods and algorithms that are currently in use in imaging and the related processes of DMO and velocity model building. Participants’ Profile: Geophysicists who are involved in seismic data processing and/or are a member of a multidisciplinary team for special studies, like e.g., time-to-depth conversion, AVO, inversion, reserve estimation etc. and those who need such an overview as a starting point for their future work.

Course Description: The purpose of this course is to teach participants the fundamentals of extracting quantitative property information from seismic data. In the end this leads to an inversion process, which is called linear if the data are supposed to consist in primaries only and is called non-linear if all multiple scattering and multiple mode conversion over a target interval (typically 500 m around the reservoir) is taken into account. Non-linear inversion leads to a higher resolution than obtained from conventional linear inversion techniques. Finally, linear and non-linear inversions at the reservoir scale are demonstrated by highly realistic synthetic reservoir models and real data case studies. Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to: • Understand what quantitative property information is contained in seismic data and how to extract it. • Make better judgments as to what inversion method to apply to what problem. • Adopt a more quantitative approach to seismic-to-well matching and low-frequency background model extraction • Further the role of reservoir geophysics in multidisciplinary projects. Participants’ Profile: This course is designed for geophysicists active in reservoirs and/or quantitative interpretation. Also processing geophysicists who would like to get involved in quantitative interpretation can attend this course. Prerequisites: • Basic training in geophysics • Mathematics in particular complex numbers and integrals

Course Description: This course covers all areas of applied seismic anisotropy, with class exercises and ample time for full discussions. Because anisotropy is such a fundamental concept, it covers topics in seismic acquisition, processing, imaging and interpretation, all based on seismic rock physics. A new course book, including updated material, for this course is available since 2014. Course Objectives: This is not a ‘methods course’ but rather a ‘concept course’, familiarizing the students with essential concepts, enabling them to ask the right questions in future conversations, rather than to operate particular software packages. Participants’ Profile: Geophysicists should attend who have a working knowledge of conventional exploration geophysics and wonder how it can be that we use isotropic concepts to acquire and analyze data that come from rocks that, after only brief thoughtful consideration, must clearly be anisotropic. The course is particularly important in this era of unconventional resource plays.

Course Description: This two-day course will investigate an entire petroleum system from the preservation of organic matter and the deposition of source rocks, to the generation and entrapment of oil and gas in the reservoir. Alteration of hydrocarbons through in-reservoir processes such as biodegradation, oil-to-gas cracking and thermochemical sulfate reduction will also be discussed in detail. The integration of source rock evaluation, hydrocarbon fluid analysis and basin modeling is brought together in the concept of petroleum system analysis. Several case histories will be shown to illustrate the concept. New developments in operational geochemistry and geochemical well evaluations will also be discussed as part of this course. Advanced mud-logging techniques, such as methane carbon isotope logging, will be discussed and their relevance to petroleum system analysis will be illustrated with case histories. The course will be concluded with a section on the molecular chemistry of oil and gas and the application in reservoir geochemistry and production allocation. Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, participants will have an understanding of: • the elements and processes necessary for the formation of hydrocarbon accumulation in the subsurface • the purpose of basin modeling and how to calibrate a basin model with petrophysical and geochemical data • source rock evaluation and how geochemical analyses assist the evaluation of unconventional hydrocarbon plays • designing a geochemical evaluation program for a new and existing well. Participants’ Profile: This course is targeted towards earth scientists, engineers, economists and managers who need to be conscious of source rock evaluation, charge prediction and geochemical well evaluations Prerequisites: The course assumes knowledge of basic geology. An understanding of basic chemistry will be an advantage, although not required.

Course Description: The aim of this course is to analyze folding styles in multi-detachment cover sequences with a special emphasis on the Zagros Fold Belt. The course consists in a presentation of different kinematic models for folding and practical exercises using Pyrenees and Zagros field examples and seismic lines. Course Objectives: The objective is provide to geologists and geophysicists (not acquainted with folding and thrusting in compressional settings) a short and updated review of the modern concepts in structural geology to become more familiar with folds, thrusts and fractures of a region that are crucial in near future exploration and development of HC fields such as the Zagros Fold Belt in both Iran and Iraq. Participants’ Profile: Structural geologists, sedimentologists working in folded regions and geophysicists interpreting seismic lines. Prerequisites: Some experience is needed to obtain the most from the course. The course, however, is not designed for structural geologists alone (although they are welcome) but for geoscientists that work in these folded and thrusted systems and would like to obtain new ideas about them. Young scientists with little experience are also welcome and depending on the average level of participants it is possible to modify the course accordingly.

Course Description: The flow of oil and gas through porous reservoir rock is controlled by the permeability of the reservoir. A single permeability system is completely controlled by the rock properties of the reservoir. The presence of faults and/ or fractures complicates the flow by creating a dual porosity/ permeability system when open fractures are present (conduits). Sealing faults can create isolated reservoir compartments (seals). Consequently, prediction of conduits and seals is an essential element in oil and gas exploration and development. This course introduces reliable, proven, state-of-the-art geomechanical methods to predict fracture conduits and fault seals. Course Objectives: The participants will be able to decide on the appropriate fault sealing mechanism and perform a fault seal prediction. The location and orientation of natural open fracture systems can be predicted, using a variety of techniques. The methods taught in this course are universally applicable, including for exploration, field development and underground storage of natural gas or CO2. Participants’ Profile: Geologists, geophysicists and reservoir engineers who have to work with faulted and fractured reservoirs will benefit from this short course. The topic is relevant for exploration as well as for production. Prerequisites: Participants should have knowledge of basic geology and structural geology, geophysics and reservoir engineering. Some practical experience in E&P projects is recommended.

Course Description: Unconventional hydrocarbon systems require unconventional approaches to decide on drilling locations and development techniques. The information contained in natural fracture systems can be used to support the drilling and well stimulation technique for the development of unconventional hydrocarbon systems such as shale gas. This short course is based on geomechanics as a technique that can be used to understand and develop unconventional hydrocarbon systems such as shale gas systems and fractured crystalline basements, where conventional logging and seismic systems are inadequate. Course Objectives: Asses the possibilities to approach the exploration and development of unconventional hydrocarbon systems. These can be shale gas systems, other forms of tight reservoirs or fractured crystalline basements. Participants’ Profile: Geologists, geophysicists and reservoir engineers who work with faulted and fractured reservoirs will benefit from this short course. The topic is relevant for exploration as well for production. A recent expansion of the course topics includes exploration and development of shale gas systems. Prerequisites: General geology and structural geology, basic physics. A basic knowledge of geomechanics is an advantage but is not strictly required. Recommended reading: Any structural geology textbook will give sufficient background knowledge to follow this short course successfully.

Course Description: The course provides an introduction to Basin and Petroleum Systems Modeling, which has in recent years become a key component of geologic risk and resource assessment procedures in petroleum exploration for both conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons. With an emphasis on applications, the course introduces the technology with a case study on exploration in conventional petroleum systems and then follows with theoretical aspects such as temperature, pressure and petroleum generation and migration modeling. We then look at applications for unconventionals such as shale gas/ oil and gas hydrates and conclude with special applications that are relevant in the region in which the course is being presented. Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to understand modern petroleum systems modeling methods and their applications, as well as to be aware of their role and value in petroleum exploration and resource assessments for both conventional and unconventional oil and gas. The course will create awareness of a technology widely used in the industry, which has rapidly developed in the last few years and which plays a critical role in exploration risk assessments, as well as in the assessment of yet-to-find hydrocarbon resources. Course attendees will learn that the topic is technically innovative and challenging and participants will learn that the application of the technology offers interesting opportunities in the industry and in academia.

Course Description: The course has been designed for geoscientists, engineers and other technical staff who want to analyze and integrate image and dip data with other logs and seismic to enhance their understanding of exploration plays and field development. It leans heavily on worked class examples and case studies. Instead of interpreting image and dip data in isolation, the course shows how they can be used in conjunction with cores, other logs, modern depositional analogues, outcrop studies and high-resolution seismic data to refine reservoir models. This course can also be stretched over more days, which will include more exercises. Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to understand how to quality control, process, interpret and integrate images and dips with petrophysical and seismic data to characterize reservoirs and improve exploration and field development strategies. Participants’ Profile: The course is designed for geoscientists, petrophysicists and reservoir engineers working on subsurface data. Prerequisites: Participants should have knowledge of geology and subsurface settings.
Participants’ Profile: The course is accessible for geoscientists from all disciplines and for students with any level of experience. It is primarily directed at geologists but the data models and the quality of the results that can be achieved are dependent on geophysical and geochemical input, so all of these disciplines will benefit. Prerequisites: A basic knowledge of petroleum geology and an interest in understanding geologic risk factors in petroleum exploration.

Course Description: The core of this course is a new powerful method of fault seal prediction. The method is qualitative, based on geomechanics and has been calibrated with field cases. The course is based on geomechanics as a sound foundation for structural geological concepts and the behavior of rocks in the brittle regime. Mechanical rock properties and ways and means to determine these properties form an important element of this course. Following an introduction to geomechanics, the theory of fracturing of brittle, ductile and viscous rocks is treated, illustrated with field examples and case histories. An exercise based on real data forms an important element of the course. Cases requiring the use of numerical models are discussed but numerical modeling does not form part of the course. Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to: • Recognize the most appropriate fault seal mechanism for an area of choice. • Perform a quantitative fault seal analysis and if necessary perform a palaeo stress analysis as a basis for fault seal prediction. • Assess top and fault seal integrity for subsurface processes including exploration, field development and subsurface storage of natural gas or CO2. Participants’ Profile: The course is intended for geoscientists and subsurface engineers that deal with geological problems in relation to (potential) sealing problems with top seals and faults. The relatively advanced subject level requires that participants have at least a basic knowledge of structural geology and they should have field experience of 5 years or more. Prerequisites: Knowledge of basic structural geology and basic reservoir engineering. Five or more years of experience in E&P projects is recommended.

Course Description: The course is designed to combine basic geostatistical concepts with an overview of state-of-the art conventional and novel algorithms. Many modeling challenges arise in reservoirs with the non-stationary multi-scale correlation of a structure and complex connectivity patterns. The sparsity of available direct measurements of reservoir properties is another constant problem for modeling. Machine learning provides new opportunities in data integration and model control. Novel machine learning techniques are good at capturing dependencies from data when their parametric description is difficult; and controlling the impact of noisy and ad-hoc data. The course includes examples and hands-on exercises. Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to: understand key geostatistical concepts and their implementation into reservoir modeling, be familiar with a variety of conventional and advanced stochastic modeling algorithms and the specifics of their application and realize the impact of different modeling assumptions. Participants’ Profile: Geoscientists and engineers involved in reservoir model building and data integration. Prerequisites: Participants should have knowledge in geosciences

Course Description: Heavy oil and bitumen will become the major liquid petroleum source in about 50 years. Novel enhanced oil recovery technologies will improve the recovery factors from conventional oil reservoirs as well as viscous oil deposits. Because the vast majority of the world’s viscous petroleum is in shallow (<1000 m) sandstones of high porosity (0.25), we will focus on new production technologies for this class of assets. Geomechanics is an important aspect in such strata and a strong focus is on the reservoir mechanical response to production. The concepts are applicable to all types of oil and different lithotypes. Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to: • Evaluate their assets more rationally for the full range of commercial technologies available. • Develop geoscience-based screening criteria for production practices. • Understand the importance of geomechanics and the changes in properties that take place during exploitation of reservoirs. • Appreciate the importance of deformation monitoring to process optimization.

Course Description: This is an OUTWARD facing course for people who need to understand geophysics because it can solve their problems and will be driven by problems regularly encountered and their optimal geophysical solution in collaboration with the essential but last to be applied intrusive investigation. This course will address the nature of geophysics, the range of problems that can be addressed by it, what can be seen and what can’t and the limitations imposed by the laws of physics and ‘environmental noise’. Course Objectives: What is really important is how we combine techniques in a truly integrated way to solve subtle, complex and critical problems that one technique alone cannot satisfy. Participants’ Profile: Geoscientists, environmentalists, water, civil and geotechnical engineers and engineering, mining and hydro geologists. In fact all those who have responsibilities for specifying and procuring geophysical services or appointing and directing geophysical staff but who do not feel that they understand the techniques, approaches, strengths and limitations of geophysics well enough to obtain optimal advice but understand survey/interpretation information. The course will also be suitable for those who wish for an application / casestudy oriented introduction to environmental geophysics concentrating on the problems and their solutions with recourse to mathematical analysis only where really necessary.

Course Description: This course covers the geological and geophysical concepts governing the near-surface. Methods for investigating and characterizing the near-surface such as remote sensing and surface geophysical methods are presented. The different measurements are archived and integrated into a geographical information system (GIS). Course Objectives: The course introduces geomorphology as a concept to understand the geological and geophysical characteristics of the near-surface, enabling the students to extract structural and lithological information. This information can be used on the one hand for the prediction of shallow drilling hazards and outlining deeper structures and on the other hand for the correction of near-surface effects in seismic data processing. Participants’ Profile: Geophysicists and geologists who are working in exploration and are curious to understand the impact of the near-surface on subsurface geophysical data and wish to understand what the surface geomorphology can tell them about subsurface structures. Prerequisites: Participants should have basic knowledge of geophysics and geology.
Prerequisites: Attendees should have experience / knowledge of the types and range of environmental/engineering problems that are encountered in the near-surface and a desire to learn how to best approach them. A working knowledge of elementary mathematics and physics will help but a willingness to engage with the material is more important.

Course Description: This course provides an in-depth insight into the physics of hydrocarbon recovery and the mathematics of reservoir simulation. It deals with the basics of displacement of hydrocarbons by water in hydrocarbon reservoirs, the impact of geological heterogeneities and the challenges associated with trying to optimize the recovery of hydrocarbons. Course Objectives: With the currently available computing power it is now possible to model both highly complex geological environments and highly complex hydrocarbon recovery mechanisms. In view of the enormous amount of data in reservoir simulation models there is an increasing tendency to have an unlimited belief in model predictions and omit the necessary quality checks on fundamentals. This course is aimed to (re)gain an in-depth insight into the fundamentals of hydrocarbon recovery in relatively simple geological models. Participants’ Profile: Geoscientists who wish to obtain a good insight into the fundamentals of hydrocarbon recovery and the impact of geological heterogeneities on displacement efficiencies and reservoir engineers who wish to refresh their basic understanding of hydrocarbon recovery.

Course Description: Borehole stability is based on a good understanding of the Earth’s stresses, drilling mechanics, geological knowledge, chemistry and general mechanics. The course will cover all of these aspects, giving the participant a basic introduction to the large themes involved in planning and executing wellbores in challenging conditions. The major thrust of the course is based on geomechanics, the mechanical response of geological strata to changes in stress, temperature and chemistry. Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to have a first-order understanding of the issues that affect the stability of wellbores during drilling. Because the course is based on a geomechanics view, geoscientists and engineers will take away a stronger understanding of the mechanics involved in sustaining and improving the stability of boreholes in shale, salt and sandstones under a wide range of extrinsic conditions. Participants’ Profile: This course is intended for petroleum engineers and geoscientists involved in development work and borehole planning and will provide a geomechanics framework for borehole stability to drilling engineers and supervisors, drillers, mud loggers and directional drilling and MWD engineers. Prerequisites: A basic understanding of mechanics and geology is desirable but the course is self-contained; those never exposed to rock mechanics or tectonics will rapidly pick up the major principles because materials are presented from a physical point of view. Even those specialized in rock mechanics will find new ideas and methods that will affect how they approach well design and drilling.

Course Description: This course in designed for a broad range of geoscientists and engineers working in the petroleum industry. The course provides improved linkage between the techniques used at various scales to describe and model petroleum reservoirs. The ultimate objectives are to enable technical staff to maximize the recovery of hydrocarbons. The impact of petrophysical heterogeneity at various scales on the recovery of oil and gas provides the focus for the course. This course was a SEG/EAGE 2009 course. Course Objectives: • The course introduction shows how petroleum geoengineering concepts have developed along with the requirement for more integrated and synergistic technical teams addressing reservoir development projects. • The course emphasizes the links between stratigraphic controls on geobody architecture (and properties), the connectivity and the ultimate recovery factors. • Petrophysical and rock physics properties are measured at a variety of scales. An exercise will explore how averages can be used to determine effective properties at larger scales. • Reservoir models are built by industry using a range of geostatistical techniques and these require calibration by dynamic measurements at various scales. The role of seismic in modeling is considered at the appropriate stage. • Sweep efficiency and recovery factors are determined by scales of lateral and vertical heterogeneity. The use of Lorenz and Modified Lorenz plots is demonstrated in an exercise to illustrate the importance of internal reservoir architecture in controlling recovery factors. • The course challenges subsurface teams to consider strategies for improving oil recovery and with the high demand and price to target ever higher recovery factors Participants’ Profile: The integrated nature of this course means that it is suitable for individuals from all subsurface disciplines (geology, geophysics, petrophysicists, geomodelers, reservoir and petroleum engineers). Additionally the course is very suitable for teams of subsurface staff.

Course Description: Seismic attributes have been increasingly used in both exploration and reservoir characterization and have been integrated into the seismic interpretation process. Seismic attributes will be introduced with their applications in seismic interpretation using examples from different sedimentary basins and also through certain attribute analysis workflows. It is aimed to provide geoscientists with the minimum required theory of how each attribute is generated with greater emphasis on the applications in exploration and reservoir characterization. Elementary trace-based attributes, dipazimuth, coherence, fault attributes and frequency decomposition will be presented individually as well as in different workflows to identify and extract certain geological objects. Course Objectives: Upon the completion of the course participants will be familiar with a range of relevant attributes used in seismic exploration and reservoir characterization.

Course Description: Three-dimensional geomechanical models are becoming frequently used to assess the state of stress inside the Earth. This course describes the process of building 3D mechanical property models, calculation of the state of stress inside the Earth and calibration of 3D geomechanical models with 3D and 4D seismic data observations. The process is illustrated by field case studies. Geomechanics is still a relatively new discipline in the oilfield environment and is not taught as part of most university geoscience programs. Therefore a lot of graphic examples to aid intuitive understanding are included in the course material. Course Objectives: • Provide an overview of currently available workflows to build, run and calibrate reservoir geomechanical models maximizing the use of 3D and 4D seismic data; • Apply the understanding gained from running such workflows to field development and reservoir management; • Understand the limitations of current workflows and techniques and provide a glimpse of the road ahead. Participants’ Profile: The integrated nature of the subject and approach makes this course appealing to practitioners and researchers from a wide range of subsurface disciplines, ranging from geophysics, geomechanics, geomodeling, geology, rock physics and reservoir engineering. This course is also suited for Master’s and PhD students as the course (material) is designed in such a way that the principles of geomechanics become clear. Prerequisites: This course is aimed at geoscientists and engineers with an interest in integration between different subsurface disciplines.

Course Description: The prediction of the behavior of shales, soils and rocks is a fundamental requirement for the exploitation of a geosystem and the design of man-made systems. Multiphase and non-isothermal conditions are found in numerous engineering applications, such as petroleum engineering, nuclear waste storage engineering, unconventional energy resources and CO2 geological sequestration. These applications require an understanding of the behavior of geomaterials (soils, rocks and shales) and an increased ability to predict their behaviors in variable situations. The course gives an insight into modern trends in geomechanics for multiphase and non-isothermal geomaterials. The course introduces the basic concepts for the characterization of materials and their numerical modeling. Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, participants will have a first-order understanding of the rheological behavior of soils, shales and rocks under a variety of saturation conditions and temperature variations. Fundamental constitutive concepts will be well understood and basic knowledge on the numerical simulation of geomechanical problems will be gained. Participants’ Profile: The course is designed for postgraduate students, researchers and practitioners in fields where multiphase and non-isothermal behavior of geomaterials (soils, rocks and shales) plays a fundamental role, such as petroleum engineering, unconventional energy resources, nuclear waste storage engineering and CO2 geological sequestration.

Course Description: Impediment to flow caused by either fluid phase behavior coupled with the dynamics of flow and/or production-chemistry-related issues in the near-wellbore, wellbores and flow lines has long been identified in onshore and offshore shallow-water environments. These events become more severe in a deepwater environment as the intervention is very challenging from both technical and cost considerations. Course Objectives: The course aims to introduce state-ofthe-art technologies and workflows and their deployment in identifying, characterizing and managing flow impediments in hydrocarbon exploitation. This will also enable participants to learn the best practices and design fit-for-purpose solutions focusing on minimizing the risk of flow stoppage while transporting hydrocarbons from ‘Pore to Process’ based on field examples from around the world. Participants’ Profile: This course is suitable for anyone with an engineering or scientific background. The intended audience of this course are engineers who are involved in hydrocarbon field development, drilling, well construction, production, transportation and processing. This course will also be beneficial to department, asset and technology managers. Prerequisites: Participants should have a basic understanding of petroleum engineering from reservoir to surface facilities aspects of the petroleum industry.
Participants’ Profile: Drilling, completion, reservoir and production engineers, geologists, geophysicists, geoscientists and petrophysicists.

Course Description: This course considers how the upstream oil and gas business can make itself attractive to top-level young geoscience and engineering undergraduates. It will consider the education they can be given in universities so they are most effective upon graduation and how to develop and retain them through their careers. The first part of the course is a formal review of where things stand. The second moves into ‘workshop mode’ to discuss local issues and tailor specific solutions. Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to lay out a strategic plan to recruit and develop top graduates and plan their training programs. Participants’ Profile: The course is designed for Human Resource teams tasked with recruiting and developing staff for their technical departments.
Course Description: Overpressure is experienced in most sedimentary basins where reservoirs are associated with finegrained lithologies (such as shales), in particular at depths of 2.0 km or greater below the sea-bed. Recent advances in the understanding of overpressure, in particular the magnitude of overpressure resulting from each of the main mechanisms under realistic basin conditions, give improved confidence in estimating pore pressures. Participants will learn about the required inputs for displaying reservoir pressure data, the theory and methods underlying pore pressure prediction and the limitations of the techniques employed. Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to: • Interpret a variety of pressure data and how they relate to safe and efficient drilling • Create locally calibrated hydrostatic and lithostatic gradients • Interpret data on a pressure-depth plot and relate these data to local and regional geologies • Use a variety of wireline data e.g., sonic, resistivity and density to predict pore pressure in shales using the Eaton ratio and equivalent depth methods • Compare reservoir pressure data and shale pressure predictions and understand the relationship between the two • Recognize the limitations of pore pressure prediction in shales Participants’ Profile: This training course is designed for geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists and reservoir/drilling engineers with an interest in overpressure and high-pressure reservoirs, i.e., anyone who wants to understand overpressure and to know about the methods to predict it ahead of the bit. Prerequisites: A familiarity with oilfield practices will be an advantage.
