course
Play Fairway Analysis and Common Risk Segment Mapping
designed for
exploration geologists and geophysicists, team leaders and exploration managers. This course will especially benefit explorationists who participate as a team, and management or others wishing to implement opportunity evaluation or portfolio management best practices for sub-surface assessment
objective
to introduce participants to the concepts, workflow(s), desirable data and potential tools for play fairway analysis and common risk segment mapping, with the aim of highlighting applications to exploration drilling decision-making, new-entry opportunity assessment and portfolio management
duration
half a day to 2 days (overview presentation followed by workshops or additional case studies as desired by client)
enrollment
20 (max)
location
classroom
course description
many of the larger global oil companies have applied basin analysis methodologies for many years based on Common Risk Segment (CRS) mapping of basins and play fairways. The value in creating risk maps is that each of the key risks significant to the play is carefully analysed and the supporting data is compiled in a spatially enabled fashion; this procedure often provides insights into the play that otherwise would not be obvious.
This course will provide an overview of methodology and mapping products using presentations and workshops with client data if desired. Topics will include:
• constructing chronostratigraphic diagrams of the basin with supporting data to identify the key petroleum system elements
• generationg gross depositional environment and component risk maps maps for each petroleum system element and each play
• identifying, prioritizing and mapping other risk factors deemed critical to a specific basin or play
• using tools such as ArcGIS or other mapping tools to facilitate the incorporation and synthesis of data from disparate data sources to create the final Common Risk Segment maps
• several case studies will be used to illustrate the workflow and impact of CRS mapping toward more effective acreage acquisition strategies
