New Course – Reservoir Development in Syn- and Post-rift Settings

TRACS International are delighted to present a new course, ‘Reservoir Development in Syn- and Post-rift Settings – a 5-day workshop event designed for a geoscience and petroleum engineering audience (rather than a traditional geology field trip).

Quick links

To be held on August 31st-4th September 2026, the aim is to explore reservoir variation on the scale of a field development – a “3D seismic volume” in the field. The course is led by tutors Douglas Paton, Mark Bentley and Maggie Hystad Murison, and provides an opportunity to discuss and workshop development strategies on excellent on-scale analogue outcrops in Corinth, Greece.

Day 1 – 3D architecture of a rift basin on seismic scale – defining the container
Day 2 – Stratigraphic changes through the basin fill to the fluvial source area – where the best reservoirs lie
Day 3 – The shelf margin: Gilbert deltas and relay ramps; reservoir quality variation and differential sweep under production
Day 4 – Proximal to distal fill: petrophysical and architectural changes as confinement decreases into deeper water; reoptimising well design and completion strategies in contrasting parts of the system
Day 5 – Synthesis at the Temple of Apollo. Mapping out relative confinement and reservoir distribution across the structural container, identifying sweet spots for well targeting and choosing optimal completion strategies. More details on the course can be found here.
