This 5-day course offers an integrated presentation of a range of technical issues associated with the characterisation of carbonate reservoirs. A combination of key exposures, supported with classroom sessions, is used to describe and explain carbonate facies and architecture, inner shelf to slope stratigraphy and fracture analysis.
Please contact Lluís at lluis@geoplay.cat for more information on outcrops and logistics, regular course updates, and preliminary registration. For more information on theory sessions and fracture analysis contact Jon at gutmanis@geoscience.co.uk.
Testimonials we got last year:
Great trip. We saw some fantastic outcrops and I learned a great deal about carbonate facies. It was also good to see all the fractures and faults and to think about the implications for these faults on a reservoir. I also thought the classroom sessions worked well with your practical conclusions about determining the influence of fractures being key. The logistics and food/wine were superb and really helped to make the whole trip unforgettable and memorable. I will recommend the trip to my colleagues in Perth and Tripoli. … Woodside Energy
I really enjoyed the week in the Pyrenees and especially your outstanding knowledge concerning all the fracture architecture. We have to send more geologists and even engineers to your course to get a better understanding of our various reservoirs. Congratulations on the successful course! … OMV Austria
