Sub-Surface Mapping Techniques October 19, 2009

BACKGROUND

Just like hunting for a hidden treasure, a map is one of the key factors toward successful valuable findings.

This course is designed to broaden the knowledge of participants with regards to the sub-surface mapping techniques. These techniques are important to generate or interpret the existing maps that further guide the exploration and exploitation strategy of the company.

The participants will learn starting from the basic techniques to more advances ones and also understand the unique characteristic of earth phenomena that may contain valuable deposits or oil/gas traps.
COURSE OUTLINE

Featuring the Following Issues That Impact Your Exploration and Exploitation Strategy

Contouring and Contouring Techniques

* Rules in contouring
* Contouring methods

Integration of Geophysical Data in Sub-surface Mapping

Fault Maps

* Introduction
* Fault displacement definition
* Fault data from log
* Fault surface maps construction
* Type of faults patterns:
o External Faulting
o Compressional faulting

Fault Data Determined From Seismic Interpretation

Structure Maps

* Contouring faulted surface
* Combining structure maps and fault maps
* Restored top-an aid to structural interpretation
* Fault trace and gaps
* Fault gaps Vs fault heave
* The additive property of fault

Mapping Techniques for Various Tectonic Habitat

* Extensional Tectonic:
o Compensating
