Structural Styles in Oil Exploration
Objectives
- Participants will have an overview on all the hydrocarbon structural assemblies and their related trap types.
- Structural and geophysical methods using in addition to practical exercises (seismic, slices and maps), participants will be able to interpret the geometry of structural traps and predict the geometry where data are absent or contradictory.
Public
Geologist, geophysicist and geoscientist engineers, Producers and Technicians.
Teaching
Presentations & debate: theoretical and methodological content followed by interactive and participatory methods such as projections, exercises and slideshows.
