Short lectures with many exercises
on the computer
Overview:
This course starts with raw structure
and fault data and ends with a completed structural framework having cells ready for the assignment of
petrophysical attributes. This process includes building the fault model, inserting horizons, inserting
isochores to define additional horizons, and defining the cell geometry which in turn, controls the
stratigraphic correlations during property modeling. The course focuses on complexities related to faults
and structures. It does not cover construction of structural features such as stream channels, salt features
or reefs. It does cover fault growth and displacement issues, stratigraphic relationships between horizons
such as baselap, truncation and conformability.
Who should attend:
Petrel users who are geoscientists or have
experience that lets them understand the fundamentals of structural geology including fault geometries and the effects
of faults on structures and isochores.
What will they Learn:
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Unfamiliarity with faulted structures in Petrel
Learn how to build faulted structural frameworks
in Petrel
Unsure how to construct
complex Faulted Models
Learn how to construct
these models.
Processes:
Upon completing Advanced Structural Framework, the students will have:
Worked with a variety of structure data (3D and 2D seismic and well tops)
Worked with a variety of fault data (polygons, center-lines, sticks, cuts and implied)
Modeled a variety of fault forms and fault-to-fault relationships
Used a variety of tools to control vertical separation and force specific displacement
into structures and isochores
Applied a variety of QC techniques at all stages of the structural framework building
process
Learned how to plan a project and estimate the time required
Been introduced to issues related to structural uncertainty and the building of
multiple structural scenarios to help quantify that uncertainty
