Sand-Rich Fan Systems
What’s here?
Excellent exposures of deep marine clastics systems in a linked basin setting.
The course is designed for Geoscientists, Petrophysicists, Reservoir Engineers and Well Engineers. Ideally structured for groups working in multi-discipline asset-based teams.
Duration
Learning Level
Reservoir architecture of submarine fans in confined basins with high net-to-gross reservoirs. Spectacular examples of reservoir margins in stratigraphically trapped fields. Supported by outcrop-based static, dynamic and seismic models, including 4D forward-modelling for production performance.
Access
Partly road-side, some local near-town walks, some strenuous walking.
Logistics
Annot, SE France; fly in/out Nice. Optional night in Nice (depending on flights). Drive in to Annot on day 1 taking in outcrops around St Antonin. 2 – 3 nights in Annot. Optional last night in Nice.
