This will be manifest in two different ways. Firstly, we will have an increasing contribution from our recently incorporated Near Surface Geoscience Division. And secondly, and more radically, we will have a very significant contribution from the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE). The collaboration with the SPE was announced in Stavanger in June 2003, where we indicated that our two societies had agreed to combine the EAGE Annual Conference with SPE’s EUROPEC Event, with a single shared exhibition. It had been our hope to deliver the first fully combined event at Paris 2004, but for practical reasons it has proved impossible to do this. However, this will certainly occur in Madrid in 2005, and thereafter. While falling short of our original goal, we look forward to welcoming a substantial SPE presence in Paris, in terms of short courses, technical sessions and also senior office-bearers. One of the great joys of the EAGE Annual Conference & Exhibition is that it moves around between many of the great cities of Europe. In 2004 we will be visiting a great favourite of many people, myself included, namely Paris. Having lived and worked in Paris, I am well aware of the quite unique character and individuality of the city and its people. Accordingly, I am looking forward to what is being prepared for Paris 2004 with a very great sense of anticipation. It will be different, and gloriously so! Paris 2004 will indeed be different, and I look forward to welcoming you there! On behalf of the European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers, As with earlier EAGE Conferences the theme for Paris 2004 of “Sharing the Earth” reflects both our association’s emphasis on social responsibility, and also our fundamental tenet of Don Milne President EAGE 3 66 th E A G E C o n f e r e n c e & E x h i b i t i o n 7 - 1 0 J u n e 2 0 0 4 Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, France www.eage.nl 10235 EAGE PARIS v2 07-11-2003 14:16 Pagina 4 General Information Venue Public Transportation Card Paris Expo 1, place de la Porte Versailles 75738 Paris Cedex 15 France A free public transportation card will be available for all registered full delegates and registered family members of the 66th EAGE Conference & Exhibition.

The session will consider a number of topical themes: working within an asset-based approach, the need for specialist and generalist training, identifying core competencies, staff mobility, the role of visualisation and the value of integration in case studies. A panel of speakers will be invited to consider the progress that the industry has made in reducing the ‘walls’ whilst maintaining the ‘core’. The Technical Programme consists of oral and poster presentations, workshops and field trips. Oral and poster sessions will run concurrently from 8 to 10 June 2004. All presentations will be in English. Poster Presentations The poster area will be located in Hall 4 of Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles. The set-up of these presentations will be the same as the last 2 years. Each poster will be on display for one full day, new posters will be on display each day. Posters and oral presentations consist of 25 min. time slots, which include presentation as well as discussion. Posters are grouped by session in a separate area, each area is equipped with a high table and a power socket, allowing presenters to use their laptop to show some extra information during the presentation. An on-line Call for Papers form is available on the EAGE website (www.eage.nl/conferences). Dedicated Sessions A number of dedicated sessions are proposed. The chairmen of these sessions will be in charge of contacting the speakers and organizing the abstracts for these dedicated sessions.

Special Executive Sessions Two special sessions are selected for Tuesday 8 June. 1 Special Morning Executive Session ■ Geosciences and Engineering and the Future of Energy Resources Chairmen to be confirmed What will be the future role of the geoscientist with relation to issues such as: ■ How to optimize conventional resources? ■ How to go beyond conventional resources? ■ How to handle greenhouse gases? SPE Participation Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is participating in the Technical Programme through specific sessions and three short courses. 2 Special Afternoon Executive Session ■ Multidisciplinarity and Integration Chairman: Patrick Corbett (Heriot-Watt University) 6 66 th E A G E C o n f e r e n c e & E x h i b i t i o n 7 - 1 0 J u n e 2 0 0 4 Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, France www.eage.nl 10235 EAGE PARIS v2 07-11-2003 14:17 Pagina 7 Workshops W1 Process and Stratigraphic Modeling for Basin and Reservoir Evaluation Sunday 6 June, 09.00 – 17.00 hrs Workshop convenors: Remi Eschard IFP Jo Ann Hegre Total E&P UK, Geoscience Research Centre The modeling of sedimentary processes has made rapid progress over the past decade and is now used within the industry to reconstruct basin and reservoir architecture. These new methodologies contribute to reduce risk during basin exploration and improve the prediction of facies distribution within a reservoir. Different approaches are used to model sedimentary processes: hydraulic experiments in flumes, numerical simulation of physical or biological processes, empirical quantification of the sequence stratigraphy principles, merging geostatistic and process modeling, etc. The reconciliation of these approaches is still a challenge as the concepts, physics and the space-time scale may be completely different. At the basin scale, stratigraphic simulation is a fantastic tool to integrate various types of data and to understand the role of the parameters controlling the basin architecture. The quantification of the accommodation and of sedimentary fluxes both in clastics and carbonates has provided a key for discussing the relative role of tectonics and climate on basin architecture. Stratigraphic models are now integrated in the workflow of the modeling of the petroleum system. The key topics are the followings: At the reservoir scale, the simulation of sedimentary processes helps to understand the geometry of the sedimentary bodies and their facies distribution. Stratigraphic modeling also provides a new constraint for reservoir geostatistical modeling. The experience of coastal and fluvial engineers and geomorphologists may also bring a lot to better constrain reservoir modeling over short period of time. ■ The aim of this workshop will be to encourage exchanges between the different communities of geoscientits developing such approaches. We would also like to show applications of these methods in the industry both in basin exploration and reservoir appraisal as well as conduct a debate on the benefits/pitfalls of stratigraphic modeling. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Analogical modeling of sedimentary processes in flumes, Numerical modeling of physical processes for transporting sediments, Fluvial and coastal engineering approaches, Quantification of carbonate and organic matter production, Climate simulation, 2D and 3D stratigraphic modeling of clastic, carbonate and organic-rich systems, Merging geostatistics and stratigraphic simulation, Combining structural and stratigraphic modeling, Using stratigraphic simulation to discriminate tectonic and climatic effects on sedimentation, Basin and reservoir application of process and stratigraphic simulation in different sedimentological settings. 7 66 th E A G E C o n f e r e n c e & E x h i b i t i o n 7 - 1 0 J u n e 2 0 0 4 Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, France www.eage.nl 10235 EAGE PARIS v2 07-11-2003 14:17 Pagina 8 Workshops W2 The workshops will be organized into 3 sections: Current Best Practices ■ Open Problems and Questions ■ New and Game Changing Technologies Scales Changes in Shared Earth Model ■ Sunday 6 June, 09.00 – 17.00 hrs Workshop convenors: Jean-Laurent Mallet École de Geologie-Nancy Scot Evans Landmark Benoit Noetinger IFP This one-day workshop is structured in 4 sessions of 2 hours. Each session, could be scheduled as follows: 1 A keynote speaker to give an overview (20 mins + some time for specific questions) 2 1 - 2 other speakers to present different/new ideas (15 mins + time for specific questions) 3 A general discussion (30 mins) 4 A summarizing (5 mins) In recent years the use of “Shared Earth Models” (SEM) has moved from the domain of the expert to that of the E&P Asset team. By definition, one calls the SEM the pair consisting of a unique Structural-Model (SM) representing the topology and geometry of the subsurface plus a unique Property-Model (PM) providing a mechanism to model piecewise continuous functions representing the physical and geological properties inside each fault block. W3 Geological Storage of Residual Gases (CO2, H2S) Sunday 6 June, 09.00 – 17.00 hrs Workshop convenors: Pierre Lethiez IFP Ipo Ritsema TNO-NITG There are currently two major types of sources of residual gas emissions in developed countries: fuel combustion, entailing large emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) ; the other one is related to industrial processes leading to possible emissions of hydrogen sulphide (H2S). CO2 is the major contributor to the additional greenhouse effect when H2S is present in large oil and gas reservoirs and was traditionally transform into sulphur. In practice, however, the cellular partition corresponding to the Structural Model is not appropriate to comply with all the different needs of specific applications such as geostatistics, flow simulations, seismic ray tracing or structural geology. It is necessary to partition these fault blocks into smaller 3D-cells, termed a “3D Grid”, in order to capture fine heterogeneities that are then aligned along the horizons while honouring the discontinuities induced by the fault network. The degree of resolution required by each of these processes will be different, however the need for each ‘version’ the 3D Grid to both honour the Structural Model, and not distort the Property Model is critical. Residual gas management comes along with industrial and economical development, and has been the point of attention by the community at large. One sustainable option still at an early development stage is the injection and storage in a geological formation. The goal of this workshop is to review up-to-date best practices in these geometrical and property scale change issues. Particular attention will be paid to techniques allowing to have a common property model used to “paint“ (upscaling or downscaling) 3D Grids used by different applications at different scales of resolution. 8 66 th E A G E C o n f e r e n c e & E x h i b i t i o n 7 - 1 0 J u n e 2 0 0 4 Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, France www.eage.nl 10235 EAGE PARIS v2 07-11-2003 14:17 Pagina 9 Workshops Different opportunities are available for the geological storage of residual gases: ■ depleted oil and gas reservoirs: this option has been intensively used for EOR by means of CO2 injection, ■ deep saline aquifers: one offshore experiment exists on the Sleipner field in Norway, ■ coal seams, where the CO2 has the ability to displace methane that can be produced (ECBM). ■ Risk Management and HSE: a thorough analysis should cover risks associated with geological storage to sort out priority themes. Impact of potential leakage to environment and population around an injection site has to be identified and estimated. It is also of major importance to validate and demonstrate this concept of geological storage at pilot and full-field scale. To make residual gases geological storage a viable and publicly acceptable solution, research is needed: ■ Fluids Characteristics and Dynamics: modelling of physical and transport properties of the gases, and validation with data, collected or to be acquired. Multiphase flow of mixtures either in well or in porous media would help understand their dynamics. Solubility of injected gases will allow assessment of compatibility with fluids in place and transfer of active components. ■ Well architecture: dealing with short term issues linked to injection phase, as well as long term issues after well abandonment. Materials to be used, the way to use them and their ageing is critical. Retrofitting of existing wells as also to be investigated. ■ Formation integrity: impact of the injected fluids in the near well bore is a major short term issue, while checking on possible alterations of the matrix properties, including its mechanical behaviour. Conversely, cap rock would be dealt with in a very accurate way to assess modifications in its composition and mechanical properties. ■ Long term migration: injected fluid migration into the formation over geological time, including diffusion in connected aquifers is a major concern that conditions acceptance of the option. It as to be evaluated against safety and environmental issues (pollution of other aquifers and soils). ■ Monitoring: it is compulsory to dispose of monitoring tools to follow the evolution of the gas accumulation over an adequate period of time. Applicability of reservoir monitoring (4D seismic, tracers…) and well monitoring techniques as to be checked to qualify and quantify measurement procedures. W4 Magnetotellurics and Controlled Source Electromagnetics Applied to Hydrocarbon Exploration and Production, and to Deep Mining Prospecting Sunday 6 June, 09.00 – 17.00 hrs Workshop convenors: Pierre Andrieux Université Paris VI Simon Spitz CGG Don Watts Geosystem (Onshore Exploration) Andrea Zerilli EMI-Schlumberger (Offshore E & P) The first publication on Magnetotellurics (MT), by Louis Cagniard, appeared simultaneously in Geophysics and in Les Annales de Géophysique in 1953. To celebrate the 50th anniversary, we will hold a special workshop in Paris, in 2003. Professor Mark Berdichevsky, from Moscow University, who has been deeply involved in MT for more than 50 years, close to Academician A.N. Tikhonov, will be our special guest. We would particularly like to invite Exploration Managers of all oil companies and their chief geologists and geophysicists to attend the morning sessions of the Workshop, which will cover the following topics: 1 Two successful case histories will be reviewed – one deals with onshore exploration and the second one with offshore exploration. Some of the questions we will address include, “Why doesn’t seismics solve the problem?”, “What are the types of images one can recover from MT?”, “How reliable and robust are the images?”, 9 66 th E A G E C o n f e r e n c e & E x h i b i t i o n 7 - 1 0 J u n e 2 0 0 4 Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, France www.eage.nl 10235 EAGE PARIS v2 07-11-2003 14:20 Pagina 10 Workshops “What is the spatial resolution?”, and “How were the proposed wells located?” The limitations of MT and the pitfalls discovered from experience will be presented, together with the minimum tool box required for oil companies to control the quality of feasibility studies and of surveys, from acquisition to processing, modelling and inversion. 2 The present state of the art and the near future in 3D modelling, inversion and imaging. Results from both synthetic models and a real exploration case history will be presented. 3 A discussion between exploration managers, geologists, seismic experts, and the MT community concerning the issues raised during the presentations. W5 What Prestack Data and Processing Do We Need for Reservoir Characterization? Sunday 6 June, 09.00 – 17.00 hrs Workshop convenors: Aart-Jan van Wijngaarden Norsk Hydro Philippe Thierry École des Mines de Paris Laurence Nicoletis IFP The aim of the workshop is to evaluate the state-of-the-art in reservoir characterization and (4D) management from prestack seismic data. It is well known that angle dependant seismic reflectivities bring useful information on elastic properties that can be interpretated in terms of reservoir properties. However, it is in general difficult for the end-user to evaluate the uncertainties and qualify the data all along the whole process: true amplitude imaging, eventual AVA or elastic inversion, quantitative calibration between prestack attributes and reservoir properties. Managers in charge of new technologies, new plays and innovative approaches are invited to join us for the afternoon sessions, which include: 1 An introduction to Controlled Source Electromagnetics (CSEM), via Seismics and Magnetotellurics, using not more than 6 mathematical equations: wave and energy propagation and diffusion, sensitivity analyses, low and/or high resolution and new fields of application for electromagnetics. 2 The use of MT and/or CSEM in addition to high quality seismics, with application to stratigraphy and fluid content in both onshore and offshore exploration. Can we help locate new production wells by mapping the oil/water contact(*)? 3 EOR: can we monitor fluid or gas injection(*)? What has already been achieved and what are we aiming for? 4 Near-well and cross-hole electromagnetics as a way to extrapolate the geological information in the vicinity of each well and as a means of mapping the oil/ water contact(*). In this workshop, we want to discuss the latest progress that have been made in order to increase data accuracy, define quality criteria and eventually evaluate uncertainties at each step of the whole process. In this way we aim at crossfertilising the insights of those processing/imaging the We hope that after the final discussions, electromagnetic techniques will no longer be looked at as a black box, and that there will be a demand for integrating them into the new reservoir modellingand interpretation studies. (*) The porous rocks of a reservoir contain hydrocarbons or brine or a mixture of phases. Seismic P-wave velocity varies very little with liquid type whereas resistivity varies over one or two orders of magnitude from resistive reservoirs containing hydrocarbons to conductive reservoirs containing brine. Methods determining resistivity remotely from the earth’s surface therefore have the potential to discriminate between hydrocarbons and brine before drilling. After several decades of research, this potential is at last being realised. 10 66 th E A G E C o n f e r e n c e & E x h i b i t i o n 7 - 1 0 J u n e 2 0 0 4 Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, France www.eage.nl 10235 EAGE PARIS v2 07-11-2003 14:20 Pagina 11 Workshops seismic data, and the interpreters who want to use the prestack amplitudes analysis for reservoir characterization and management. The workshop will be a multi-disciplinary gathering of interest to processing geophysicists, reservoir geoscientists and reservoir engineers who want to share their knowledge and find out how their work might fit with findings and uncertainties from other disciplines. The workshop will be divided in 2 parts: 1 Imaging for prestack amplitude analysis 2 Prestack amplitude analysis for lithology and fluid prediction Unfortunately, all these data are generally associated with significant errors, at any step from the data acquisition itself, its processing, interpretation and integration. All these uncertainties combined with the geological assumptions made in the modeling workflow finally lead to a complex process which enables to take into account the different physical phenomena that occur in the field. It is however populated by a very large number of uncertain parameters. Consequentially the outputs of this modeling workflow, for instance production profiles or final oil recovery during the production phase as well as economic evaluation, will be as uncertain. The key topics are the followings: Impact of acquisition (foot-prints) on amplitudes after prestack migration ■ PSTM versus PSDM ■ Common angle imaging versus offset to angle mapping for AVA inversion ■ Impact of multiples and impact of errors in the velocity model ■ Repeatability of amplitude imaging ■ Amplitude reliability and QA ■ AVO/AVA inversion ■ Elastic inversion & lithology inversion ■ Reservoir & 4D characterization ■ W6 In this workshop we want to focus on uncertainty quantification and reduction. In a first session, the up to date methodology to quantify and propagate uncertainty all along the reservoir engineering workflow will be discussed, including for instance Monte-Carlo sampling, experimental design, neural networks, geostatistical methods, the effect of upscaling and decision tree techniques. The benefits and limits of each method as well as the best way to combine these methodologies for an optimal risk assessment process will be discussed. In a second step, the debate will focus on how to find out which parameters can help reduce these uncertainty ranges and methods for accomplishing this reduction by integration of dynamic data such as well tests, production and 4D seismic. This may include advanced history match techniques such as automated inversion process, constrained geostatistical modeling, bayesian formalism. The objective is to focus on the way these techniques can help reduce the uncertainty ranges honoring all available data and knowledge of the reservoir. Uncertainties in Production Forecasts and History Matching Monday 7 June, 09.00 – 16.00 hrs Workshop convenors: Emmanuel Manceau IFP Frans Floris Shell International Exploration & Production Ricardo Portella Petrobras Quantifying and reducing the risk in reservoir evaluation is a major challenge for the oil industry and related economy. Uncertainties exist at all levels: data acquisition, physical formulations, mathematical models, numerical solutions and computer accuracy. Thanks to high technology data acquisition programs, it is nowadays possible to calibrate complex numerical models that integrate all this information towards complex geological and fluid flow modeling and to optimize these models for maximizing oil recovery and economics. The workshop will focus on R&D methodologies and a large part will be dedicated to debate on what remains to be done to tackle the problems. Invited speakers will kick off the sessions followed by submitted papers. The debate will be continued in a discussion forum with breakout sessions. 11 66 th E A G E C o n f e r e n c e & E x h i b i t i o n 7 - 1 0 J u n e 2 0 0 4 Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, France www.eage.nl 10235 EAGE PARIS v2 07-11-2003 14:20 Pagina 12 Workshops W7 Can Time-Lapse Seismic Be More Quantitative? W8 Estimation of Accurate Velocity Macro-Models in Complex Structures Monday 7 June, 09.00 – 16.00 hrs Monday 7 June, 09.00 – 16.00 hrs Workshop convenors: Etienne Robein Total E&P-UK, Geoscience Research Centre Frederic Roggero IFP Workshop convenors: Gilles Lambaré École des Mines de Paris Paul Sexton Total Frédéric Billette BP Time-lapse seismic is increasingly used to monitor fluid movements, detect water encroachment or identify unswept reservoir zones. It is a very powerful technique to provide information at the reservoir scale as a function of production time. However, interpretation of time-lapse seismic (4D) is at present mainly qualitative and performed manually. Reservoir production mechanisms are assessed by a visual comparison between various vintage seismic attribute maps and fluid flow simulation results. Unfortunately, this qualitative approach is time consuming, subject to interpretation errors, and may not yield the most accurate production forecasts, given the time and money invested. Moreover, uncertainty quantification and risk assessment are poorly addressed in this process. These difficulties motivate the development of quantitative interpretation techniques, with the goal to improve the usage of time-lapse seismic information in production forecasts and ultimately in decision making in reservoir management. Seismic depth migration has been demonstrated to be essential for the imaging of complex geological structures with lateral seismic velocity variations. The imaging of salt structures has arguably produced the most spectacular results so far, although we continue to see dramatically improved images in a variety of geological settings. The advantages aside, 3D Pre-Stack Depth migration remains a difficult and computationally intensive process that requires a great deal of interpretative input and QC. This workshop will cover the most difficult and time-consuming aspect of the depth imaging process: the construction of an accurate velocity model. Broadly speaking, model building techniques can be separated into two main categories: initial model building techniques (using unmigrated or time-migrated seismic gathers) and model refinement techniques (using depth-migrated gathers). In each of these categories we can further sub-divide the methods into analytical, scanning and inversion approaches. Clearly, the inversion techniques are theoretically the most accurate methods but practical and numerical difficulties continue to prevent their widespread use in many environments. The workshop will be an opportunity to review the state of the art in these different techniques. In particular, there will be a focus on what progress still needs to be made before more advanced inversion techniques can replace current analytic techniques. The workshop will encourage presentations and discussions focusing on the following topics: ■ Lessons learned from real cases: difficulties and new challenges ■ Issues in the reconciliation and integration of various types of data: different physical parameters, different scales, time versus depth domains ■ Which 4D seismic attributes (reflectivity, acoustic impedance, elastic impedance, others) are most relevant to the quantitative interpretation of static and dynamic reservoir properties (porosity, lithology, pressure and saturation changes) ■ Should we update the dynamic simulator model or the geological model to account for production and 4D seismic data: deterministic versus stochastic approaches ■ Accuracy, reliability, upscaling of the petrophysical model ■ ‘True amplitude’ seismic: is this achievable (acquisition and processing issues) ■ Uncertainties estimation: impact of input data accuracy and modeling uncertainties on production forecasts ■ Added value of time-lapse seismic in the decision making process The following issues will be addressed: 1 Practical aspects of velocity model building in complex structures ■ Data picking (move-out on pre-stack gathers, interpreted horizons). ■ Velocity model parameterisation (blocky versus smooth versus hybrid). ■ Ensuring consistency between the velocity model and the seismic image. 2 Wave-Equation velocity updating 3 Anisotropic PSDM for time-to-depth conversion and estimation of structural uncertainty The challenges of velocity model building will be illustrated through presentation of case studies on both synthetic and real data. … and any other ones you feel appropriate! 12 66 th E A G E C o n f e r e n c e & E x h i b i t i o n 7 - 1 0 J u n e 2 0 0 4 Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, France www.eage.nl 10235 EAGE PARIS v2 07-11-2003 14:20 Pagina 13 Workshops W9 as time, location and content are fixed, and flexible in as far as the system allows personalization, it can be customized and it can be given on demand.

Blended Learning, a Learning Model for Geoscientists? Monday 7 June, 09.00 – 16.00 hrs Workshop convenors: Jacques Estival Total Francisco Kets Shell Based on some lectures focused on significant case studies and experience, you will be invited in this workshop to exchange ideas and propose solutions on the five following themes: 1 Transition from classical learning to customized training, status in oil industry and universities, 2 Change management from classical learning to blended learning: how to make the course content more flexible, 3 Recent developments: ideas, novelties, convergence with KM and human resources management, 4 Criteria for evaluation of success of blended learning methodology, 5 Building the business case: development costs, return on investment, benefits. After the time for enthusiasm, time for reason... A few years ago, when it first appeared on the market, elearning gave rise to a wave of enthusiasm in the world of industry and education. This was true in particular for the oil industry where people are dispersed all over the world. Among other possible applications, the e-learning was seen at this time as an appealing solution for distance learning. Although this enthusiasm has been sustained for some time by tool vendors, a counter wave brought disappointment, leaving people with the impression that they have tested only gadgets. Time for pure e-learning solutions seems over today, Time has come now for Blended Learning solutions. On conceptual level, what we call blended learning contains a combination of fixed and flexible elements: fixed in as far 13 66 th E A G E C o n f e r e n c e & E x h i b i t i o n 7 - 1 0 J u n e 2 0 0 4 Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, France www.eage.nl 10235 EAGE PARIS v2 07-11-2003 14:21 Pagina 14 Distinguished Instructor Short Course (DISC) DISC A review of these basins shows the different tectonic settings and associated structural styles. The review also demonstrates that most reservoirs are pure stratigraphic traps or combined traps. A review of seals, source rocks and modeling principles gives the geophysicist practical techniques for understanding Dr Paul Weimer deep-water systems. The course concludes with a summary of what is important in the exploration for and development of deep-water systems. The application of these techniques to each geophysicist’s current projects is key, as is the difference between frontier exploration and exploration in mature basins with deeper potential. Examples from 3 or 4 basins distributed globally illustrate the principles. These examples will also demonstrate that there is deep-water potential in most basins globally. Petroleum Systems Of Deep-Water Settings Monday 7 June, 08.30 – 17.00 hrs Instructor: Dr Paul Weimer University of Colorado The DISC Course is presented by the EAGE in cooperation with SEG. Please note that the DISC Course is part of the Workshop package. Therefore, the participants must be registered for the Workshop package, or register for the DISC separately . Overview This course provides geophysicists with a broad overview of the petroleum systems of deep-water settings. The course design allows geophysicists to quickly integrate the information into their daily workflow. The material presented is approximately the 80-85th percentile of available information. Lectures will be complemented by extensive references to key publications that geophysicists may use to follow up. This course emphasizes the geologic aspects of deep-water deposits. Biography Paul Weimer has been a professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder since 1990. He holds the Bruce D. Benson Endowed Chair in Geological Sciences, and serves as Director of the Energy and Minerals Applied Research Center. His research has focused primarily on the petroleum systems of deep-water continental margins. Dr. Weimer has published more than 100 papers on a variety of topics: sequence stratigraphy, biostratigraphy, reservoir geology, petroleum systems, 3-D seismic interpretation, structural geology and tectonics. In 1998, a special edition of the AAPG Bulletin was dedicated to the research done at the University of Colorado by Dr. Weimer and colleagues on the petroleum geology of the northern deep Gulf of Mexico. Dr. Weimer has also co-edited eight books, focusing on petroleum systems of deep-water, sequence stratigraphy, 3D seismic interpretation, and North Alaska Geology. He is currently writing a book for AAPG on the petroleum geology of deep-water deposits. Dr. Weimer served as an AAPG Distinguished Lecturer in 19981999, and was the Esso Australia Distinguished Lecturer in 2001. He received his BA with Honors in Geology from Pomona College in 1978, and his MS degree from the University of Colorado in 1980. He worked as an exploration geoscientist for Sohio Petroleum (later BP) in San Francisco, CA, from 19801984. He received his PhD in 1989 from The University of Texas at Austin. He worked with Mobil Oil in Dallas, TX, from 19881990 as a research and exploration geoscientist. Summary The course will start with an overview of the geology of deepwater systems, past, present and future. This review will cover the recent trends in deep-water in terms of drilling results, and introduce the elements of petroleum systems— reservoirs, traps, seals, source rock, migration, and timing. The key characteristics of the key reservoir elements in turbidite systems are: a) sheet sands (layered and amalgamated), b) channel fill, c) thin beds (overbank), and (d) slides and debris flows. The seismic stratigraphic expression of these systems is present in 2D, shallow 3D, and depth 3D, and integrated with the wireline log expression and information from outcrops, cores, and biostratigraphy. Examples from several producing basins around the world illustrate these points. The production history and the reservoir challenges in developing each of these fields is discussed. Participants are introduced to the basic occurrences of turbidite systems in a sequence stratigraphic framework. Examples show how to modify the basic model for each kind of basin setting (structural setting, faults, and salt), high frequency sequences, sediment delivery systems, and the effects of grain sizes on turbidite systems. Carbonate and lacustrine systems are also discussed. Many different kinds of basins produce from turbidite systems. 14 66 th E A G E C o n f e r e n c e & E x h i b i t i o n 7 - 1 0 J u n e 2 0 0 4 Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, France www.eage.nl 10235 EAGE PARIS v2 07-11-2003 14:21 Pagina 15 Field Trips F1 The Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel (NW France) – Facies, Sequence and Evolution of a Modern Megatidal Embayment and Estuarine Environment Friday 4, Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 June Field trip leaders: Bernadette Tessier Université de Caen Bruno Caline Total Programme: Departure from Rennes at 15.00 hrs (TGV station or airport) Return to Rennes at 18.00 hrs (TGV station or airport) ascensum (i.e. postdepositionnal) always in relation to massive sands turbiditic infilling channels. During two days field-trip, we will attempt to analyse the geometry of the individual injectites and the coeval dykes and sills networks, to observe and detail continuity between the injectites and their feeder body. A particular interest will be brought to the localization of the sandy injections in the “massive” turbiditic systems. Results of numeric simulations of host formation behaviour will be used to discuss the genetic processes and the main parameters of early fracturing and sandy injection. The aim of the field trip is to examine the present-day sediment distribution and dynamics as well as the Holocene and historical evolution of this unique megatidal environment (tidal range up to 15 m). The different sub-environments of the bay will be visited: the tide-dominated estuary near the Mt-St-Michel, the wave-dominated eastern coast, the tidal flats of the western bay. The excursion will focus on characterisation of depositional facies, on geometry of sedimentary bodies and on sequence evolution. Examples of very high resolution seismic profiles from similar depositional systems will be also provided. Difficulties: On the two days, we will climb up by about 200 metres. Nothing to worry about, but good hiking shoes are recommended. Weather conditions can vary rapidly; in this season, a warm Provence weather is likely to be. A rucksack is mandatory to carry one bottle of water/per person, plus field equipment.

They are beautifully exposed in a large set of quarries from the Châtillonais up to the “Route des Grands Crus” (Beaune-Côte de Nuits). 3D-walls of quarries combined with time surfaces allow to analyse in detail the stratigraphic architecture of sub-tropical platform elements (microbial lagoon, tidallyinfluenced bioclastic shoals, wave-dominated oolitic shoals, coral patches, benthic-rich hardgrounds, etc.). The highresolution correlation of Latest Bathonian-Early Callovian platforms will be done to the subsurface of the adjacent Paris Basin, based on sequence stratigraphy, biostratigraphy, core data and well-logs. We will also provide seismic data (2D-3D) from one field of the Paris Basin, allowing the geophysic characterisation of oil-producing level. Despite significant technical advances, one of the main aspect of seismic processing in the Paris Basin concerns the uncertainties in the calculation of primary static corrections. These uncertainties have remained of a similar size to the investigated closures (usually 10-15 ms TWT). As a consequence a large number of seismic prospects resulted in drilling of unreal structures located at a depth between 1000 and 3000 meters (the reservoir rocks are usually located within the Trias, Middle Jurassic or Lower cretaceous). The overall Jurassic succession will be also presented through the vineyard field trip: Liassic to Callovian in the Côte de Nuits, Upper Jurassic in the Côte de Beaune and Châtillonnais. We will show the close relationships between the geology (slope gradients and geomorphology, substratesoil relations and pedology) and the quality and classification of the wines (e.g. grape varieties, appellation hierarchy). Visits of cellars with wine tasting, as well as a gastronomic dinner, are also included in the program. One of the difficulties of static computation is coming from the heterogeneity of the tertiary composed of several layers with very important velocity variations (limestone, clay, dry and wet sands). In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to build, with all the informations available, a geological and velocity model from the topographic surface to the top of the chalk. The link with the processing is very important and the model is enhanced with the information brought by the residual statics. Minimum number of participants: 15 Maximum number of participants: 25 F4 The other difficulty is coming from the deep variation of velocity in the chalk of the Upper Cretaceous. These variations correspond to variations of lithology resulting of diagenesis on a maximum thickness of 400 meters. The effect can reach 40 ms TWT with a very long period effect invisible with the classical programs of residual statics. The classical method used to correct this effect consists of a specific processing of high resolution data and modelling of the near surface. The high-velocity chalk forms kilometer-size hillshaped structures between 150 and 600m depth. Static Processing from the Outcrop to the Seismic Section.

The depression structures overlie the dolomitized diagenetic structures in the chalk. The link between Tertiary localized depocenters and dolomitization contrains the chalk diagenesis to the tertiary and to the near surface environments. The aim of this field trip is to correlate outcrop observations of the Paris Basin main lithologies with the influence of these lithologies variations on seisimic lines (static corrections, time 16 66 th E A G E C o n f e r e n c e & E x h i b i t i o n 7 - 1 0 J u n e 2 0 0 4 Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, France www.eage.nl 10235 EAGE PARIS v2 07-11-2003 14:21 Pagina 17 Field Trips marly and calcareous sediments have accumulated (rifting and passive margin stages from Triassic to Cretaceous times). migration, interpretation) and with the solutions to apply (recording, processing) in order to correct these problems, not only on the case of the Paris Basin, but also in other countries (Tunisia, Algeria, Gabon …). The field trip will be conducted along one single section from: the foreland basin to the west (Valence Basin)where are present up to 5000 m of little deformed Triassic to Miocene sediments, ■ through the Alpes foothills where spectacular ramps anticlines are well expressed on the field thanks to massive Barremian-early Aptian “Urgonian” limestones (Vercors Massif ), ■ to the allochtonous paleozoic basement to the East (Belledone Massif), where structures related to the early Jurassic rift stage have been preserved. ■ Physical aptitude: No particular requirement.

Spectacular gas seaps will also be visited. 2-D basin modelling tools have been used and results will be shown to discuss the timing of oil and gas generation with respect to the timing of traps formation. These results have been extend to the close Chartreuse Massif (northern continuation of the Vercors Massif) where a distinct package of thinner sediments involved in the Alpine deformation has resulted in a different geometry of thrusting and in different petroleum plays. In addition to geology, this field trip will be an opportunity to visit the superb French Alps, with, if the weather allows, spectacular panorama on a large variety of montain ranges and valleys with elevation up to 3000 metres. All the stops will however be of reasonably easy access, with single oneway walks no longer than half an hour.
