description: This badge examines the pathways for a sustainable transition away from fossil fuels. Energy transitions are not new: the world has undergone several big shifts in its dominant energy sources. We first look at this history and the lessons it offers. Then, we talk about coal: the fuel which industrialized and continues to industrialize the world, but at a great societal and environmental cost. The focus then shifts to oil and natural gas, which are central to our current energy supply, but face numerous issues of their own. Some alternatives to them—nuclear and hydroelectric energy—are up and running, but not on a large enough scale to displace them. Others—wind, solar, and biomass—are growing rapidly from a low base. The class concludes with a critical look at our energy consumption patterns. Credit: 15 PDH/1.5 CEU

description: A geophysical interpretation of a seismic anomaly consists of two general components. One relates to the anomaly’s amplitude and the other to the spatial shape of the anomaly. The interpretation of the seismic amplitude validates the composition of the reservoir while the interpretation of the anomaly’s spatial distribution validates the structural and stratigraphic framework. This belt focuses on both the theoretical and practical application of amplitude interpretation. Seismic amplitude interpretation, like other direct hydrocarbon indicators, is subject to machine learning and data analytics applications. Upon completion of this belt, participants will include well-log curves in seismic interpretation; recognize hydrocarbon signatures in different rock-property environments; model and interpret CDP Amplitude Variation with Offset (AVO); model seismic rock properties as a function of porosity, rock type, and pore fluid; and, conduct an AVO interpretation for reservoir SW, lithology, porosity and thickness. Badge 1: Rock Physics and Fluid Substitution - This segment covers concepts of well-log analysis and rock physics. Topics include the basics of well logging, well-log interpretation, velocity and elastic transforms, velocity-density models, grain and pore-fluid properties, and pore-fluid substitution with Gassmann’s equation. Exercises include interpretation of a typical well-log suite for model parameters needed to predict seismic AVO responses for both brine- and hydrocarbon saturation trends in the exploration area. Badge 2: Seismic Reflection Amplitude - Understanding and interpreting seismic amplitude is fundamental to geophysics and hydrocarbon exploration. This segment reviews: seismic amplitude and the subsequent pitfalls from 2D interpretation; seismic amplitude relationship to rock properties for various incident angles; and the relationship of amplitude to various bed geometries.

description: This belt considers two major data sources to develop geologic models for global and localized time scales to address the timing of significant events of Earth history and the deposition of resource bearing formations that contain energy and water resources. These linear time models are developed with a reiterative process known as graphic correlation with output in the form of composite standards. Composite standards are made one stratigraphic section at a time in a process that mimics machine learning. Data from each new stratigraphic section is correlated to the existing composite standard whereby new bioevents can be added and the range of existing bioevents can be evaluated to capture the knowledge provided by each new well or outcrop dataset. This allows high-resolution timing of localized bioevents aid in the identification of valuable energy reservoirs and groundwater aquifers at otherwise unattainable levels of detail. These data also allow for detail interpretations of paleoenvironments that increase the accuracy of facies analyses through geologic time. The first two badges, as discussed above, address analytic approaches used to interpret massive biostratigraphic datasets whereas the third badge addresses many geochronologic tools with less robust data sets but very significant tie points to calibrate an overall biogeochronologic time scale to absolute time. Both methods provide chronologic evidence of the thermal history of sedimentary deposits in economically significant basins.
