Modern Terrigenous Clastic Depositional Systems

Who Should Attend

Petroleum geologists and engineers who desire to further their understanding of modern sedimentary processes, stratigraphy, and sedimentology. Geoscientists working in fluvial and shallow marine environments. Both exploration and development geoscientists, log analysts (petrophysics) and managers will benefit from viewing the complexity of the facies architecture and scale.

Objectives

Upon completion of this field seminar, participants will be able to:

• Depict the facies architecture, heterogeneity and 3D geometry of modern clastic depositional environments deposited in alluvial, deltaic, estuarine, barrier island and tidal channel settings.

• Improve modeling skills by evaluating facies trends in the subsurface that will allow the potential to predict facies and reservoir trends.

• Identify potential mesotidal shoreline trap types.

• Express the impact of the hydrodynamic regime (i.e. waves and tides) on the geomorphology, lithology, and stratigraphy of clastic sediments.
