Welcome to Rio! EAGE is pleased to invite you to visit Rio de Janeiro for our Education Days Rio de Janeiro 2018 Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the Board of the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE), I am pleased to introduce our multiple short course programme Education Days Rio de Janeiro 2018, which will take place on 27-31 August 2018 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The event consists of multiple one-day and two-day short courses delivered by distinguished geoscientists and professionals. The courses are carefully selected to ensure a consistent programme with appeal to a broad geoscience and engineering audience. Multiple courses and topics are offered during the week, thus insuring that all attendees can customize an educational programme appropriate to their own needs and interests. Education Days is an ideal platform to increase knowledge and awareness of new methodology for geoscience specialists. These short courses do not only reflect the latest scientific developments in geosciences, but also demonstrate applications of these theories to real-life problems. Rio de Janeiro is one of the main destinations in South America and offers to its visitors a variety of cultural contexts that allow the appreciation of the diversity that this important location involves. We are sure that the attendees will be delighted with the tourist draws that Rio de Janeiro offers. I strongly encourage you to participate in one or more short courses during the EAGE Education Days in Rio de Janeiro. I am sure that you will be positively surprised by the high quality and professionalism of the courses. Jorg Herwanger I Education Officer (EAGE Board) 2 EDUCATION DAYS RIO DE JANEIRO 2018

Accreditation In March 2013 EAGE became the first official Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Provider of the European Geologist title, which is a professional accreditation established by the European Federation of Geologists (EFG). In order to obtain and maintain this title, the holder must provide a record of high quality CPD activities, which include the short courses like the ones presented in this brochure. For an overview of the provided points for EAGE Short Courses and for more information about this accreditation system and corresponding EAGE learning activities please visit www.eage.org and www.learninggeoscience.org. Sponsorship Education Days Rio de Janeiro 2018 offers excellent sponsoring opportunities to create high visibility. For more information, please refer to the EAGE website or contact us at dlz@eage.org EAGE Economic Hardship Programme EAGE recognizes the current challenging status of the industry and, priding itself on the inclusive character of the Association, now has a special economic hardship assistance programme in place to reach out to its members. EAGE Short Course discount EAGE aims to assist its long-term members who are currently unemployed by providing contributions towards educational programmes. Under this element of the EAGE Economic Hard-ship Programme, members currently unemployed can attend public short courses at the Education Days Rio de Janeiro for a dis counted course fee equal half of the lowest fee of the respec-tive course (member early fee).

Rotzien (Basin Dynamics, LLC, Houston, TX, United States) Course description This course focuses on sub-bed-scale and field-scale architectural elements in deep-water depositional systems and how they affect the main risks in deep-water E&P across the value chain: reservoir presence, deliverability, seal and trap. The course has three main themes: 1. Sediment gravity flows, sedimentation mechanics and resulting bed configuration. 2. Depositional elements in the core, outcrop, and seismic scale. 3. Application and interpretation of risk and uncertainty from new ventures to field development and EOR. This course will alternate between inclusive lectures, handson technical demonstrations, and collaborative exercises involving practical application of cores, outcrops, logs, and seismic data. The course starts with an overview of how sediment is transported and deposited from shelf to bathyal depths and focuses on the broad range of sedimentary processes and depositional environments. Individual and team exercises involving core and outcrop samples allow participants to describe samples and interpret their mechanism of deposition and their range of possible depositional environments. Participants profile The course is designed for employees of natural resource companies in technical and management positions. Industry professionals will receive an understanding of deep-water sedimentary transport processes and depositional products, as well as knowledgeable insight into the scale and architecture of the wide range of deep-water reservoirs. This course draws from materials presented in Basin Dynamics, LLC field trips of major deep-water sedimentary outcrops worldwide. CPD Points: 10 4 EDUCATION DAYS RIO DE JANEIRO 2018
29-30 AUGUST 2018 Understanding Seismic Anisotropy in Exploration and Exploitation: Hands On Dr Leon Thomsen (Delta Geophysics, Houston, TX, United States) Course descripti This course covers all areas of applied seismic anisotropy, with class exercises and ample time for full discussion. Because anisotropy is such a fundamental concept, it covers topics in seismic acquisition, processing, imaging and interpretation, all based on seismic rock physics. This is not a methods course but rather a concept course, familiarizing the students with essential concepts, enabling them to ask the right questions in future conversations, rather than to operate particular software packages. Course outline Physical principles P-waves: imaging P-waves: characterization S-waves C-waves Epilogue Participants profile Geophysicists should attend who have a working knowledge of conventional exploration geophysics and wonder how it can be that we use isotropic concepts to acquire and analyze data that come from rocks that, after only brief thoughtful consideration, must clearly be anisotropic. CPD Points: 5 31 AUGUST 2018 New Tools and Approaches in Reservoir Quality Prediction Dr Dave L. Cantrell (Cantrell GeoLogic and Stanford University, USA) Course description Reservoir quality prediction means different things to different people; this workshop outlines an approach that s based on an understanding of the geological processes that control reservoir quality, and which allows the quantitative prediction of reservoir quality (porosity and permeability) ahead of the bit. To accomplish this, this workshop first provides an overview of the main controls on reservoir quality in both clastic and carbonate rocks, and then presents a new approach to pre-drill reservoir quality prediction that involves the integration of a variety of modelling techniques to understand, quantify and predict the geological processes that control reservoir quality. Since the initial reservoir quality framework is established at the time of deposition by a variety of depositional controls, this workflow uses numerical process models to predict initial reservoir quality; results from these models are then modified via a series of other modeling technologies (compaction models, kinetic cementation models, reaction transport models, etc.) to quantify and predict various diagenetic modifications that have significantly affected reservoir quality in the interval of interest. This approach successfully integrates these two different technologies into one workflow that holistically predicts reservoir quality. Several case histories will be shown in which this approach has been successfully applied. Participants profile The course is designed for geologists, reservoir engineers and technical managers - and for all others looking to enhance their understanding and ability to predict reservoir quality EDUCATION EDUCATION DAYS RIO DAYS DE JANEIRO MEXICO 2018 5
