Recorded Webinars

 

“Inversion Tectonics: concepts, geometry/kinematics, and drivers” 

James W. Granath

This webinar considers the situations in which thrust and strike-slip displacements are imposed on previously normally offset faults and fault systems. What is their significance in terms of ‘tectonic regime’, in terms of structural geometries and how to recognize them, and in terms of their economic impact. 

 

“Geomechanics in Hydraulic Fracturing – What We Know and What We Don’t Know” 

Amy Fox, PhD

Hydraulic fracturing has been around for more than 70 years, and geomechanics has been critical to understanding it that entire time. However, nothing prepared the geomechanics community for the veritable explosion of multi-stage, horizontal well hydraulic fracturing  in unconventional reservoirs – including the accompanying models, mysteries and pet theories – over the last 10 to 15 years.

 

“Balancing Workflows in Fold- and Thrust Belts” 

J.C.Wrobel-Daveau

C. Luneburg

Structural Modeling and cross-section balancing is essential for understanding and reconstructing Fold- and Thrust Belts and accurately assessing HC reservoirs. In this joined webinar we discuss  workflows and techniques to address specific features and challenges characteristic of Fold- and Thrust Belts in various tectonic settings. 

“GeoModeling Three Ways from Electro-facies – Categorical, E-facies Probabilities, and Petrophysics with Assignment” 

David Garner

Geomodeling for petroleum reservoirs is conventionally done hierarchically using a facies concept intended to characterize the depositional environment followed by a distribution of properties in each facies.

“Practical Seismic Interpretation”

 

TerraEx Team: Katie Joe McDonough, Erik Scott, John F. Karlo, Catalina Luneburg, Bryan DeVault
A comprehensive review of seismic interpretation from imaging and interpretation techniques, to seismic features in a variety of tectono-stratigraphic settings all based on real-world examples and case studies. Preview of our Seismic Interpretation School coming up 2021. 

“How to Attack your Structural Interpretation”

Catalina Luneburg, PhD

Catalina Luneburg, PhD

This webinar introduces proven strategies and current techniques of structural interpretation in a variety of tectonic settings. We break down the process of structural analysis and validation into simple steps and discuss possible pitfalls and challenges.
