ACE SC 11 | Deltas: Processes, Stratigraphy, and Reservoirs – A Core, Log, and Seismic Workshop

Society for Sedimentary Geology (SEPM) and Gulf Coast Section SEPM

Thursday, 11 June – Friday, 12 June 2020, 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. | Houston, Texas

Who Should Attend

Geoscientists responsible for interpreting and mapping lithofacies within deltaic reservoirs and generating stratal architectures for deltaic modeling and subsurface prediction.

Objectives

Understanding entire spectrum from exploration-scale considerations to production-scale behavior of flow units for both conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon-bearing deltaic reservoirs

Course Content

Deltas are extremely important depositional systems and often source and contain prolific hydrocarbon accumulations. This short course will use modern, experimental, outcrop, and subsurface examples to describe the major variables governing the stratigraphic architecture of deltas. Controlling factors discussed will include paleogeography, paleoclimate (high-latitude vs. tropical/temperate), sediment supply and lithology (coarse-grained vs. fine-grained), sequence stratigraphy and accommodation (lowstand vs. highstand; shelf phase vs. shelf-margin deltas), and depositional environments (active vs. abandoned, river/wave/tide-dominance). Inputs and influences on geomodels, including variations in reservoir geometry, continuity, and heterogeneity, will be a primary focus.

This workshop includes topical lectures, key cores, and a suite of exercises that integrate core, well logs, experimental flume data, and seismic sections to develop identification and subsurface mapping skills within deltaic settings. Cored examples from the modern Wax Lake Delta of Louisiana, ancient Lower Cretaceous Ferron Sandstone (Last Chance Delta), Upper Cretaceous Panther Tongue Sandstone of central Utah), and subsurface fields (Vicksberg, Sakhalin Island offshore), as well as seismic-based Quaternary (Lagniappe) and ancient (South Timbalier 26) will help participants gain a full appreciation for the depositional styles associated deltas, recognition criteria for all types of deltaic systems, and insight into typical distributions of both reservoir and seal facies in these complex systems.

Important notes regarding Field Trips and Short Courses

Before purchasing non-refundable airline tickets, confirm that the Field trip and/or Short course will take place as they may be cancelled if undersubscribed.
Please register before 22 April 2020. Field trips and/or Short courses cancellations, due to low enrollment, will be considered at this time. No refunds will be allowed after 22 April 2020.
Field trips and Short courses are limited in size and are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis and must be accompanied by full payment.
If you do not plan on attending the convention, a U.S. $30 enrollment fee will be added to your Field trips and Short courses fee. This fee may be applied towards your registration should you decide to attend the convention at a later date.
A wait list is automatically created if a Field trip or Short course sells out. The AAPG Global Convention Department will notify you if space becomes available.
AAPG will continue to take registrations for Field trips and Short courses that are not cancelled until they are either sold out or closed.
It is important that you note your gender when registering for hotel room assignments.
For Field Trips, you will receive an itinerary with details of meeting points, transportation with the trip phone numbers and email addresses of hotels and trip leaders prior to the event date.
Proper clothing and supplies are needed for the outdoors (hat, windbreaker, sturdy footwear and backpack).
Depending on location, temperatures can range from 40 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit with or without rain. Participants are advised to check local weather forecasts for latest updates.
Insect repellent and sun protection (sunscreen and hats) are recommended.
AAPG, the sponsoring organizations nor Field Trip leaders and their employers maintain insurance covering illness or injury for individuals.

Students

There are a limited number of discounted registrations available for students on a first-come, first-served basis. If a discounted space is still available, it will show up during the online registration process. If discounted spots are no longer available, you may register at the full fee; if we are able to add additional discounted spots, we will refund the difference at that time.
