Course Overview

The Turbidite Facies Architecture, Reservoir Applications and Predictive Stratigraphy (N107) training program is an advanced, applied geoscience course designed to strengthen participants’ ability to analyze, interpret, and predict turbidite depositional systems and their reservoir behavior. The program focuses on understanding the hierarchical architecture of turbidite systems—from basin-scale elements to bed-scale facies—and translating this knowledge into practical reservoir characterization and development strategies.

This training program is designed and delivered by Global Horizon Training Center, drawing on industry-proven concepts, integrated stratigraphic frameworks, and real-world subsurface examples. The course emphasizes predictive stratigraphy as a decision-support tool for exploration, appraisal, and field development, enabling participants to reduce subsurface uncertainty and improve reservoir performance predictions in deep-water and slope environments.

Course Objectives

By the end of this training program, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the processes and controls governing turbidite deposition
  • Identify and classify turbidite facies and architectural elements
  • Analyze submarine fan systems and their stratigraphic evolution
  • Apply facies architecture concepts to reservoir characterization
  • Use predictive stratigraphy to anticipate reservoir distribution and quality
  • Integrate sedimentological, stratigraphic, and subsurface data for decision-making

Who Should Attend

This training program is suitable for:

  • Sedimentologists and Stratigraphers
  • Exploration and Development Geologists
  • Reservoir Geologists and Engineers
  • Geophysicists involved in deep-water interpretation
  • Subsurface and Asset Team Professionals
  • Technical staff working on turbidite or deep-marine reservoirs

Course Outline
