Who Should Attend

Exploration and development geologists, geophysicists, log analysts, engineers, and managers working in structural geology and/or fractures who want a thorough understanding of the geology and geophysics utilized in E&P in thrust belts.

Objectives

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

• Identify natural fractures and discuss analogs.

• Differentiate natural vs. induced fractures.

• Make connections between structure & fractures & prolific oil fields in the region and new discovery potential.

• Have a greater understanding source rock petroleum systems of a thrust belt, and its influence on adjacent forebulge resource oil plays.

• Develop completion programs where fractures and structure play a major role in the reservoir.
