The purpose of the short course is to give students a strong sense of the spectacular technology with which we work, the future of their profession, and what they can expect in their careers. Dr. Paul Weimer is happy for people who work for companies to attend this short course, with the understanding that the students are the first priority.
Themes of the short course for the future of our industry:
- Rejuvenation of old fields: conventional (and now unconventional) accumulations
- Frontier exploration in conventional accumulations
- Unconventional resources: tight gas sandstones, BCGA
- The future: assumptions (supply, demand), technology (seismic, how we interpret), more on unconventional resources, why belong to AAPG
The short course will consist of three exercises/lectures (3-D interpretation, wireline logs). For each exercise, Dr. Paul Weimer will give the students some materials to interpret (e.g. seismic profiles, well logs). He will walk through the interpretation of the exercise with them, and then give summary exercise.
Exercises
- Rejuvenation of old fields: 3D seismic interpretation from a meteorite impact field (the seismic is stunning, and the interpretation is quite challenging). (to be published in the AAPG Bulletin)
- Frontier exploration in conventional accumulations: identification of deepwater fields in the northern Gulf of Mexico (to be published in a special issue of the AAPG Bulletin).
- Unconventional resources: tight gas sandstones, BCGA: A wireline log exercise from a basin-centered gas accumulation (Piceance Basin) to demonstrate the concepts. These accumulations are counter-intuitive to most students, and this exercise will nicely illustrate it, i. e. get them to think differently. (To be published in a special issue of the AAPG Bulletin in 2012/2013).
The final lecture will be a look forward (i. e. AAPG in 2035)-- where is our industry headed, how can you expect to work (e. g. evolving interpretation technologies, evolving drilling and completion techniques, new play concepts), where will they work, and, most importantly, why it is critical that they join AAPG and stay a member throughout their career.
Dr. Quinn Passey will visit University of Bucharest as AAPG Distinguished Lecturer.
