What are the Goals?
By the end of this training course, participants will learn to:
- Understand different shallow and deep marine facies models and their sedimentary setting
- Interpret mudlogs, core and thin sections to produce shallow and deep marine facies logs and a facies model
- Utilize borehole images, log data, ECS and NMR to generate marine electro facies
- Identify accurate geological analogues, to derive input parameters for geological models
- Understand upscaling, which honors geological data to create accurate static and dynamic geological modelling
