A short course presented for the Indonesian Petroleum Association by Dr. David Pyles – Colorado School of Mines
Cost: US$ 3,200 (IPA Prof. Div. Member) or US$ 3,400 (Non IPA Prof. Div. Member)
(includes course manual & material, CD Book, hotel accommodation for 6 (six) nights (room and breakfast only), working lunches and refreshments). More information regarding the short course is available here.
The significance of deep-water deposits to global oil and gas exploration and production is presented along with the unique business challenges posed by these giant reservoirs. Distinction is made between the engineering and geological definitions of ‘deep-water’. The major global areas of deep-water interest are provided along with current exploration and production statistics. Key issues related to exploration and development are introduced and are addressed during the course. The principle deep-water reservoir types are outlined, along with reservoir characteristics and recognition criterion.
Debate on the origin of deep-water deposits over the past few years has generated significant new research that has shed considerable light on the spectrum of transport and depositional processes, and their resulting deposits. The various processes by which sediment is transported to, and deposited in deep-water settings is discussed from the perspective of historical concepts, outcrop studies, and experimental modeling. Exercises focus on the recognition criterion for sediment gravity-flow processes and products (from core and outcrop images) and how depositional processes relate to porosity and permeability. More…
A CD book with all lecture and exercise power points will also be provided to those participants bringing a laptop computer to the course.
Exploration and production geologists, geophysicists, and engineers who are beginning deep-water work and/or who are seeking the latest information on deep-water depositional systems, their exploration potential, reservoir architecture, and production characteristics.
David R. Pyles is currently Research Professor and Director of the Chevron Center of Research Excellence at the Colorado School of Mines. Before that, he was Research Associate and Principal Investigator for Laser Assisted Analogs to Deepwater Reservoirs (LASR), a deepwater research consortium sponsored by 12 oil companies, at the Bureau of Economic Geology, University of Texas at Austin. David holds a PhD from University of Colorado (2004), a MS from Colorado School of Mines (2000) and a BS from Chico State University (1997). More…
