Course Title: “Applied Deep-Water Sedimentology & Stratigraphy" Instructor: Jonathan Rotzien, PhD (https://lnkd.in/gB_r6Bm8) Dates: - May 13-17, 2024 (Houston, TX) - October 14-18, 2024 (Houston, TX) Description: This course provides professionals with a modern awareness of the spectrum of deep-water sedimentation, stratigraphy, and depositional environments. Diverse industry datasets are used to illustrate the broad variation of deep-water sedimentation and the implications for petroleum reservoirs and their quality. Participants will also explore the transport processes and depositional products in a variety of deep-water depositional systems along active and passive margins using outcrop, core, borehole image and seismic data. This course draws from materials presented in field courses to world-class outcrops and petroleum basins in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

🌟 My Geological Journey 🌍 Looking at this cool picture of a geologist with lots of rocks reminds me of my time as a second-year Geology student at Obafemi Awolowo University. That's when I went on my first field trip: campus mapping. Imagine this: going to different spots outside, writing down details about rocks, and making maps—all while carrying around a bunch of rock samples. I remember my hostel room being really crowded, with way more students than it was meant for. And on top of that, it turned into a kind of rock lab because I had so many samples everywhere. My roommates weren't too happy about it—they kept complaining about all the rocks taking up space! But despite the challenges, I loved exploring geology. Whether it was naming rocks or answering my dad's questions during our walks ("What's this rock called? Are there special rocks with gems in them?"), each moment made me love Earth science even more. Geology isn't just about remembering names and categories; it's about appreciating the amazing story each rock tells. Every rock has a history—how it formed, what it's been through, and how it fits into our planet's big picture. Today, as I keep going in my geology journey, I'm grateful for the lessons I've learned not just from books but from hands-on experiences and the people I've met. From mapping on campus to exploring the real world, every step has made me the geologist I am today. Here's to loving the rocks that guide us, enjoying the thrill of discovery, and respecting the people who've paved the way before us. Let's keep uncovering the secrets of our planet and inspiring others to love Earth science too. #Geology #FieldTripFun #ExploringRocks #PassionateAboutRocks

an experience geologist is one who has seen many rocks in the field.

Basin Entry Analysis (musings from the desk of a retired geologist) How do International OG Companies carry out a New Basin Entry Analysis? A lot of G&G folks work in project execution/ development or operations and most do not have the opportunity to be involved in the New Ventures side of things. I have often seen a disjoint in thoughts between the guys that are executing the work program and those of the originating team (comments like… I dunno, we did not pick this up!... Or….. what were they thinking!). The business of New Ventures is often perceived as a mystical black art or worse…. based on the whims and fancy of the loudest voice in the room (often senior leaders). I will attempt to illustrate here that there is actually a method to the madness (at least I hope so) and that if we document the process in a consistent and rigorous manner, hopefully everyone can be onboard from the start and take ownership of the projects.   So …. you have decided on or have been assigned a new basin to work on as new entry possibility. The company has no prior history of operating in the basin.  What Now… ? I will give a very simple methodology of how I would approach the analysis by using the well known Deep Water Campos/ Santos Basin as an example. There is extensive published information on the basin which I use here but there may be some basins out there where you may not have the luxury of such detailed information and you may have to improvise or purchase commercial data sets or buy some regional well and seismic data and work it up from scratch. The materials on the slides are for illustrative purposes only and are derived from (or I have interpreted from) public domain information. I have laid out a template of typical topics which I think are important to tackle and should be on everyone’s check list whenever possible when trying to analyze a new basin to determine whether there is a business case to proceed. A consistent methodology and proper documentation is quite important for a paper trail and a good means of communication with the executing team. This is especially so in larger organizations where silos are common. Hopefully you will find this useful. #OilGasExploration #Oil #Gas #NewVentures #BusinessDevelopment #BasinAnalysis #PetroleumSystem #Geology #DeepWater
