Field Trips and Workshops

The one day field course will visit multiple stops to examine a series of springs systems along the Bow River Corridor in the Front Ranges of the Canadian Rockies and to look at the role structural geology plays in the occurrence of thermal springs, and more importantly, the influence of fault plane geometry on spring temperatures in a low heat flow setting.

This three-morning course follows the life cycle of an oil or gas property, from concept to booking reserves. Case histories are used to illustrate the geophysical tools that the asset team would apply to solve an oil field development problem at various points in the property’s lifetime. The course starts with an introduction to geophysical interpretation and exploration fundamentals. It then goes on to illustrate specific oil field operational problems and then provide an integrated geophysical tool to help solve that problem.
