You are invited to join a practical workshop focused on interpreting depositional environments and predicting 3D architectures in shallow marine and fluvial intervals. Through a combination of lectures and hands-on examination of selected Permian and Mesozoic cores, this workshop will cover:

● Using hierarchical frameworks to address geological questions at the appropriate architectural scale.

● Identifying depositional environments in core, with a primary focus on active depositional processes.

● Examining typical 3D architectures in shallow marine and fluvial environments under different process regimes and their impact on subsurface fluid flow.

● Leveraging depositional analogues, 3D conceptual models, and realistic forward stratigraphic models to improve subsurface architectural predictions.

Learning Outcomes:● Gain practical experience using physical structures and ichnology to interpret local depositional environments within cores.

● Improve your understanding of the three-dimensional aspects of depositional systems through extensive analogue databases, 3D conceptual models, and forward stratigraphic models.

● Gain insight into how these tools can improve inter-well predictions while accounting for appropriate levels of depositional uncertainty.

Who Should Attend:
Exploration and development geologists, petrophysicists, reservoir engineers, academics, and geoscience students.

Analogue Database Access:
All participants will be granted complimentary access to the Sedbase web-based platform for the duration of the workshop.
