About Training
Industry’s one of its kind—this program provides an extensive coverage of Southeast Asian regional geological evolution, its petroleum geology, and the exploration history of major hydrocarbon basins, including exploration hotspots that may emerge in the future.
This program has been an industry staple for explorationists who are working in the region. Ian Longley has presented the Petroleum Geology of SE Asia course now for more than a decade since taking over from his predecessor Dick Murphy, who presented the course since 1985.
Wide Coverage of SE Asia’s Hydrocarbon Basins
This course has a long pedigree of providing a large amount of data of regional hydrocarbon basins essential for those who are working and who are planning to work in the region.
Includes Examples and Practical Exercises
The course will provide analyses models, including tectonic history, stratigraphic patterns, trap styles, and hydrocarbon charge for basins such asSumatra, Java, Sunda Rifts, South China Sea, Borneo Delta Sags, etc. Attendees will also work on seismic exercises.
This program will provide attendees a comprehensive knowledge of the regional basins to complement their skills in basin analysis and play generation.
Training Objectives
-
Understand What Makes Basins More Productive
-
Understand the petroleum systems, tectonic evolution, and distribution of conventional oil and gas resources in Southeast Asia, and most importantly why some basins are more productive and why some are oiler than others
-
-
Discuss Potential Exploration Hotspots
-
Discuss potential exploration hotspots through analysis and discussion of current and future hydrocarbon activities in the region and the emerging plays and hotspots
-
-
Differentiate Southeast Asian Basin Types
-
Differentiate the various basin types found in the region—their classification, historical timing, and stratigraphy.
-
-
Analyze Current Models for Petroleum Systems in Southeast Asia
-
Analyze petroleum systems models of the region and their application to the variety of plays in the region
-
-
Recognize Major Sedimentary and Structural Geometries of Southeast Asia
-
Recognize major sedimentary and structural geometries of Southeast Asia through interpretation of regional seismic lines
-
Audiences
- Geoscientists and Explorationists working on Southeast Asian basins. This is highly recommended for those who are new to the exploration industry in the region or for the senior staff who wish to broaden their understanding of plays in the region
- Note - It is a requirement that all students have a basic understanding of both petroleum geology (theory and application i.e. petroleum systems, plate tectonics etc) and modern hydrocarbon exploration methods (i.e. seismic and drilling technologies etc).
Job Titles Include:
- Exploration Geologists
- Exploration Geophysicists
- Development/ Reservoir Geologists
- Development/ Reservoir Geophysicists
- Exploration Managers
- Subsurface Managers
Instructor
Ian Longley
Practical & Consulting
Ian is a proven oil and gas oil finder with established new business development skills. He has over 29 years in the industry, and has worked for Lasmo, Woodside, Shell, and Oil search in various locations around the world. He is specialized in plate tectonic evaluation, regional petroleum geology, play and prospect analysis, and the hunt for new exploration opportunities in Southeast Asia. Ian has significant hands-on experience in all major hydrocarbon provinces in Australasia particularly those in PNG, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia and Vietnam.
Training
Has taught this course for more than a decade now, and it has long been recognized for its comprehensive information of the Southeast Asian regional petroleum systems.
