AAPG/EAGE Hydrocarbon Seals of the Middle East - January 18, 2016 - January 20, 2016

- Introduction
- This three-day workshop has the primary goal to share knowledge, case studies, techniques and workflows pertaining to the understanding and prediction of hydrocarbon seals for exploration and production in the Middle East. These seals range in age from Pre-Cambrian to Tertiary.
The following themes are planned for inclusion into the workshop:
Regional and intraformational seals and using field analogues to replicate exploration success
Sequence stratigraphic framework, facies and relationships to seal occurrences
Hydrocarbon seal architecture and capacity in carbonate, evaporite and clastic sequences
Static (capillary) and dynamic sealing capacity and hydrocarbon retention
Integration of petrophysical, rock mechanics, seismic and engineering data for hydrocarbon seal assessment
Sealing capacity of faults & implications for fluid flow modeling
‘Non Traditional’ seals and their sealing potential (e.g. tar mats, diagenetic, capillary and wettability Seal potential) - Useful Links
