SQD7004 Reservoir Sedimentology and Sequence Stratigraphy

This course integrates aspect of reservoir sedimentology, depositional facies and sequence
stratigraphy. The course introduces the types of data, methodologies, and principles used in
sequence stratigraphic and sedimentologic analysis of clastic and carbonate depositional systems.
The importance of biostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy and depositional architecture to
petroleum geology will be evaluated. The nature of nonmarine, marginal to shallow marine and
deep-marine depositional systems will be analysed in terms of their impact on the producibility of
petroleum reservoirs. Practical exercises incorporate cores, well logs, seismic data, field work, and
software/digital data sets.

Assessment Methods:
Continuous Assessment 60%
Final Examination 40%

Medium of Instruction:
English

Transferable Skills:
1. Utilization of sequence stratigraphy in exploration and production of hydrocarbon reservoirs
2. Ability to determine clastic and carbonate depositional environments
3. Ability to use computer software for well correlation and core-well log integration

Humanity Skill:
CS4, CT5, EM2
