EFG Academy
Join Dr Gil Machado for a 25-hour in-depth classroom course on Sequence Stratigraphy. Learn to integrate seismic, well log, and outcrop data to build robust stratigraphic models. Gain tools to identify system tracts, sequence boundaries, and interpret depositional sequences with predictive value for exploration and development. Includes practical exercises and case studies.
When: 16-26 June 2025, Evenings
Where: Online
Presenter: Dr Gil Machado
Fees:
- Regular: 440 €
- EurGeol fee: 360 €
- Portuguese Association of Geologists (APG) Member fee: 260 €
Course Objectives:
The objective of this training course is to get more out of seismic and well data through the use of sequence and seismic stratigraphy and integrated stratigraphic analysis to further constrain geological models. Ultimately, it can be used to predict and discover more geological resources and predict the geology before wells are drilled.
This interactive Sequence Stratigraphy training course will deal with the fundamentals and practical applications of sequence and seismic stratigraphy. It will include exercises and case histories for some interpretation and workshop discussion.
