Tuesday, November 11, 2008 from 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM (MT)
Instructor: Dr. John Humphrey, Colorado School of Mines, Department of Geology and Geological Engineering
The fee includes food at breaks, workbook and PDH certificate.
Approximately half of the world's oil and gas is contained in carbonate reservoirs. Because of their extreme susceptibility to diagenesis, limestones and dolostones commonly have complex histories. While depositional setting, facies, and sedimentology can have a control on porosity distribution, it is more often the case that diagenesis dictates porosity evolution and its spatial distribution.
This course will review general carbonate classification and petrology, and then focus principally on the processes and products of carbonate diagenesis, including dolomitization. Diagenetic environments and their characteristic fluid-rock interactions that lead to porosity creation and destruction will be presented.
The course is intended for exploration and production geologists with little background in carbonate petrology, and geophysicists and engineers working with carbonate plays.
