About the event
We are delighted to offer an exciting and engaging training workshop to help generalist geoscientists understand how hydrocarbons are trapped. The participants will use various hands-on exercises to hone their skills. The skills will be used to play with a broad set of real-world case studies. Participants will finish with sound structural geologic thinking but, most notably, an appreciation for stratigraphic trapping.
Oil and gas exploration relies on calculating the probability of finding the "right" volume of hydrocarbons before drilling. While technology has a massive impact on this process, risks always need human intervention, in many ways, by imagining "what could be". Unfortunately, we also bring a range of cognitive biases that can blight an exploration program.
In this training course, students will learn to use a set of easy-to-understand, readily repeatable tools that can be deployed across an entire business unit to provide clear metrics for predicting predrill column…
