course description
The class is designed as a seismic workshop-style class and will consist of presentations and lectures interspersed with numerous seismic exercises.
Main topics include:
• introduction: basic structural concepts, geometries, and common seismic interpretation issues
• extensional structural regimes: examples, analytical techniques, petroleum systems and interpretation exercises in 2-D and 3-D
• compressional structural regimes: examples, interpretation, petroleum systems and balancing and correlation exercises in 2-D and 3-D
• tectonic inversion: seismic examples, interpretation exercises and the impact of inversion on the petroleum system
• gravitationally driven systems: balancing downdip compressional shortening with updip extension
• strike slip structural regimes: transtension, transpression and reconciling map and seismic data
• salt and mobile shale structural regimes: the basics of salt tectonics, application to shale diapirism and seismic interpretation exercises
• fault seal analysis: integration of seismic and well data for fault seal analysis
