The Petrogenium (in collaboration with EPTS) Subsurface Mapping course will provide participants training to interpret subsurface data and provide geological models that form the basis for development planning. Construction of maps and sections of the subsurface, including integration of seismic and well data, forms an important part of the evaluation. Assessment of the connectivity between hydrocarbon-bearing areas is critical in understanding in the fluid flow within a reservoir, knowledge on faults dimensions and properties with respect to transmissibility is discussed such that will learn how to perform fault seal analysis.

This Petrogenium course aims at Geologists, petroleum engineers and geophysicists involved with the development of oil and gas reservoirs. Geologists needing knowledge of Correlation and Structural/Stratigraphic mapping.

Participants will be able to apply geological concepts, construct maps and sections and validate computer-generated interpretations. They will be able to calculate subsurface volumes and assess their uncertainties.
