Geology, Seismology & Petrophysics

Training Courses & Seminars

The worldwide, diverse & multi-disciplined Petroleum Industry owes its very existence to an expert understanding of the subsurface geology.

Our Geology, Seismology & Petrophysics training courses have been holistically designed to offer an overview of the exploration and development process to expert level comprehensive, interactive courses on applied biostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy, the identification of seismic sequences, clastic reservoir characterization and a detailed understanding of rift systems and basin analysis.

Honing personal skills with the necessary varied technical requirements and development of the intuitive knowledge of the prospect generating explorationist are the objectives of these training courses. They will be supported by many case study examples of the typical success and sometimes failures which occur in the challenging but also fascinating hunt for commercial hydrocarbons that underpins this whole industry.
