🔸Map Sequences, Systems Tracts, and Reservoir Potential with Confidence🔸 Course: Sequence Stratigraphy Applied to O&G Exploration Instructor: Oscar Lopez-Gamundi, PhD 📍 Houston, TX 📅 September 21-25, 2026 A five-day applied deep dive into interpreting seismic, logs, cores, and outcrops to define sequences, systems tracts, and depositional architecture, and then use that framework to predict reservoir quality, source potential, seal integrity, and trap geometry. Students will be able to: 🔹 Identify key stratigraphic elements: sequences, systems tracts, and surfaces in seismic and logs. 🔹 Apply facies concepts to define depositional architecture. 🔹 Predict reservoir/source/seal distribution across terrestrial–marine settings. 🔹 Interpret terminations & stacking to understand hierarchy and evolution. 🔹 Differentiate systems tracts in clastic and carbonate systems. 🔹 Evaluate growth strata to assess trap and charge timing. 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/g25zsMjZ #sequencestratigraphy #exploration #seismic #logs #geoscience

🔸Understand the Disciplines and Skills Involved in Finding and Producing Oil & Gas🔸 Course: Basics of the Petroleum Industry Instructor: C. Susan Howes, PE, PHR 📍 Houston, TX 📅 September 22, 2026 A streamlined introduction to how the petroleum industry works - from hydrocarbon origins to exploration, drilling, production, and refining. Ideal for professionals who need a clear view of the technical and economic drivers across the value chain. Learning Outcomes: 🔹 Hydrocarbon lifecycle: how they form, migrate, are discovered, developed, and commercialized. 🔹 Core subsurface concepts: basins, reservoirs, traps, seismic, logs, and cores. 🔹 Field development fundamentals: exploration through end-of-life operations. 🔹 Industry tools & workflows: key equipment, terminology, and processes. 🔹 Economics and risk: how decisions are made across the value chain. 🔹 Energy value chain: how upstream, midstream, and downstream connect. 🔹 Integrated decision-making: how disciplines work together to guide development. 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/ge8_Rpty #oilandgas #energyindustry #geoscience #petroleumengineering

❗Geologic maps must do more than look clean - they must stand up to scrutiny. 💡Our Applied Subsurface Geological Mapping course builds the disciplined, defensible mapping skills geoscientists need: fault integration, hand-contouring, structural frameworks, cross sections, and net-pay mapping. 📅 2026 Sessions: Cairo • Europe • Houston • Kuala Lumpur 🎓 Instructors: Jim Brenneke • Margo Liss • mark olson • Robert Shoup Learn more: https://lnkd.in/exbq7ZqC #subsurface #geology #geoscience #oilandgas #geologicalmapping

❗A map can look clean and still be wrong. The real standard is whether it’s geologically defensible, structurally consistent, and genuinely useful for decision‑making. 💡Our flagship course equips geoscientists with the discipline, techniques, and practical repetition required to produce maps that accurately represent the subsurface. ℹ️ "Applied Subsurface Geological Mapping" A hands-on, discipline‑driven course taught by recognized industry instructors. Participants Will Learn: • Hand‑contouring workflows that honor geologic reality. • How to integrate faults from logs and seismic with fewer interpretation mistakes. • Building fault surfaces and frameworks that withstand technical scrutiny. • Constructing cross sections that illuminate structure and reservoir impact. • Creating net‑pay isochore maps that strengthen volumetric assessments. 📅 2026 Sessions (Domestic & International): Cairo • Europe • Houston • Kuala Lumpur ✅ Led by Industry‑Recognized Experts Jim Brenneke • mark olson • Robert Shoup Full schedule & registration: https://lnkd.in/exbq7ZqC #subsurface #mapping #geology #training #oilandgas #energyindustry

🔸Learn to QA/QC Subsurface Maps with Technical Rigor🔸 Flagship Course: Quality Assurance/Quality Control Skills in Subsurface Mapping (QAQC) Instructor: Robert Shoup 📍 Lagos, Nigeria (Hosted by Westpaq International) 📅 September 7-10, 2026 Build the mapping skills needed to evaluate subsurface interpretations with confidence. Through hands-on work with real datasets, students will sharpen contouring, correlation, fault mapping, and QC, and leave with a repeatable workflow for judging technical quality. Other learning outcomes include: 🔹Understanding questions to ask when reviewing subsurface data. 🔹Evaluating the 3-D viability of an interpretation, map, or prospect. 🔹Evaluating whether resources or reserves are under or overestimated. 🔹Determining whether an interpreter has applied sound, industry-accepted, geoscience principles. 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/g9jYRnZS #qualityassurance #qualitycontrol #subsurface #mapping
