Through a combination of lectures and core examination participants will be introduced to:

• Depositional cycles and stacking patterns of the Swan Hills Formation;
• Facies models of each of the component cycles explaining the distribution of original limestone reservoir quality;
• Criteria for interpreting regional exposure surfaces (R4 - ISHU)
• The nature, distribution and wireline log response of the various units of the Swan Hills - Beaverhill Lake basin-fill will be illustrated on a series of cross sections;
• Diagenesis, in particular dolomitization, and it's control on reservoir quality and play-type compartmentalization;
• Review of major producing and potential play-types and models of hydrocarbon plumbing and charge.

The workshop will be conducted by Frank Stoakes and members of SCG staff.
