INTRODUCTION TO PETROLEUM WORKSTATIONS |
||
 |
||
| Class objectives: This course will familiarize students with the use of petroleum workstations for subsurface mapping of stratigraphic and structural features. Workstation training of Landmark software will be “hands-on” and each student will load and manage an actual 2D seismic and well data set on the workstation. To make this exercise more meaningful to the student, a series of lectures will accompany workstation training. These lectures will include basic geologic and geophysical concepts, seismic and sequence stratigraphy, seismic interpretation methods, well logging, basin analysis, subsidence analysis, basin classification, and petroleum systems. This course will stress the applied aspects of these concepts which are covered at greater length in other Geological Sciences and Petroleum Engineering courses. Using these applied concepts and the workstation-based datasets, each student will interpret their data and prepare a powerpoint presentation as their final class project. This presentation will require mastery of the workstation along with concepts ranging in scale from individual petroleum reservoirs to the entire basin. | ||
