1. Turbidite Reservoir Modelling –
Improved reservoir models by use of field analogues!
Seminar at NPD in Stavanger
Field-trip to Ainsa, Spain.
Examples from several basins and field analogues, and a subsequent field-trip to famous Ainsa Basin, Spain.
The seminar will focus on modelling of turbidite
depositional environments and the integration of sedimentological and stratigraphical information in
reservoir modelling.
Turbidite Reservoir Modelling
Deep-marine depositional systems are matters of high interest. And, because of their complexity and heterogeneity, they are a challenge for exploration and production of our hydrocarbon reservoirs.
In order to improve our understanding of sub-surface data of such systems, you are invited to participate in a FORCE seminar where we aim to integrate experiences from turbiditic reservoirs and outcrops from several basins.
In addition to talk presentations, a core workshop will be held. The cores are taken in the famous Ainsa Basin of Southern Pyrenees, where we will arrange the field-trip to magnificent turbidite outcrops.
Models of these outcrops will be demonstrated in the seminar and by PC’s in the field.
