Seismic from TGS in AAPG Explorer – Aug 2016
Available Training Courses
The emphasis of all of the courses that E&P Geoscience, LLC runs is to give participants the knowledge and skillset that will directly apply to their daily work. Our offered courses are all based on the real world experience of senior geoscientists and the successful workflows that have been developed over those years to accurately characterize the subsurface for the best predictive capability.
All the courses are available to be run in-house at your company. Please contact Erik Scott to make arrangements.
All the courses are also offered periodically to the general public. Information regarding public courses will be posted under the description of the course.
Field Based
♦ Texas Coastal Processes – Brazos River Delta to Galveston Island – 1 Day
Sites ~60miles south of Houston along 35 miles of SE Texas coastline from the Brazos River Delta and along the barrier islands of Follets and Galveston Islands provide locations to observe coastal sedimentological processes and their resultant deposits. The trip will look at the various processes that shape the coastline and the characteristics of the sediments that are deposited. The trip will observe processes on the beach, recent erosion, various styles of washover deposits, different types of delta systems and sand ridges that are active on the Texas Gulf Coast.
♦ Morphology/Sedimentology of a Meandering Stream System – 1 Day
Tucked away just south of The Woodlands, Texas is the Montgomery County Preserve – a greenway that holds a natural laboratory to explore a meandering creek system. We spend the day along 1 km of Panther Creek where it merges with Spring Creek to investigate numerous features of the creeks as well as interact with the processes that form and continually modify them. We visit a number of locations and discuss the processes that are occurring and the resultant features that are there. Participants are able to experience the dynamic nature of river systems and expand their understanding of sedimentological processes and deposit architecture.

♦ Geologic Interpretation of Seismic Data – 5 Days
This course covers how to build sub-regional structural and stratigraphic frameworks from seismic data. Through interpretation of 2D seismic profiles from various geologic settings we reconstruct basin to prospect stratigraphic and structural histories and discuss implications for petroleum systems. Participants gain an understanding of a variety of structural and stratigraphic settings as expressed on seismic data and the techniques for evaluating them.
♦ Stratigraphic Analysis of 3D Seismic – 3 Days
This course shows how to image and interpret depositional systems in 3D seismic data and build a stratigraphic framework. We cover workflows to isolate and visualize sedimentary architecture to reconstruct elements from a variety of depositional environments. Through various techniques we develop basin to prospect scale stratigraphic histories and discuss implications for petroleum systems.
♦ A Practical Guide to Hydrocarbon Volume Calculation and Risking – 1 Day
This course will cover the considerations need when calculating in-place hydrocarbon volumes and the chance of finding it. The mechanics of calculating volumes will be covered, however the focus of the course is on understanding how all the geological inputs effect the output volumes. The range of potential volumes will be related to different types of risk.
♦ Working Across Differing Scales /Dealing with Uncertainty in the Geosciences – 1 Day
The geosciences deal with data and systems at various scales that cross over a magnitude of order or greater, from planetary to pore space. Recognition of the scale of the data/system you are working on and its relationship to other data/systems at a different scale is integral in constructing robust geological models. This one day course looks at the variation of different systems at the same scale as well as the variation of the same system at different scales.
