Our goal is to predict where we have potential reservoirs capped by potential seals.  Divide the class time into three (3) segments: a review of the previous exercise, the lecture, and an introduction to the exercise presented here. The review of the previous exercise has five (5) slides and will take ~10 minutes to discuss. The lecture material contains eighteen (18) slides, and will take ~35 minutes to explain. The introduction to the exercise here has five (5) slides, and will take ~15 minutes to explain. Objectives: At the end of this lesson, students should be able to: Define the terms depositional sequence, seismic facies unit, and seismic facies analysis List the components of a seismic sequence analysis Define and describe the ABC method Related Courses Geology and Geophysics in the Petroleum Industry This course, based on teaching material from Dr. Fred Schroeder (formerly of Exxon/ExxonMobil), reflects on the geology and geophysics basics for the petroleum industry. General geology and basic geophysics are not required, but helpful with the material. Course Advanced
