DESCRIPTION:Course & Workshop\nNovember 9 – 13\, 2025 \nInstructor : Mesbah Khalil\, PH.D.\n  \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\nThe course is designed for exploration geologists\, geophysicists\, reservoir engineers and development geologists. \nCourse Outlines\n\nGeodynamics\, development and characterizing sedimentary basins.\nCharacterizing structure regimes for tectono-stratigraphy analysis.\nPrincipals of tectono-stratigraphy in carbonate and clastic sequences\, implementing\npaleogeography and seismic stratigraphy. \nTechniques for mapping reservoir sweet spots.\nIntegrating tectono-stratigraphy in petroleum system analysis.\nAnalysis of the petroleum basins in Egypt with specific emphasis on the Western Desert.\n\nCourse Outlines\nPart-1: Theme and Introduction \nOpening of Petroleum Basins: \n\nFactors that control opening\, fill and evolving basins to develop petroleum systems (Plate\ntectonics\, sea level changes\, and sediments influx. \nSummary for the main geological processes affecting the earth and their driving forces.\nOrigin of the energy inside the Earth.\nSubsidence mechanisms to develop sedimentary basins.\nTypes and characteristics of sedimentary basins.\nRole of mantle plumes in creating and modifying basins.\nClassifications of the Earth’s lithosphere (tectonic plates)\, special emphasis on the basement\nterranes. \nModels of lithosphere thickness\, corresponding subsidence and sediments thickness.\nOrigin of the Afro-Arabian plate.\nCharacteristics of the rift\, passive margin\, inverted basins.\nChanging basin types upon changing their tectonic models.\nMain basins in Egypt according to their tectonic origin.\n\nPart-2: Characterizing Structure regimes for Tectono-Stratigraphic analysis: \n\nStress and strain. \nSources of stresses\, stress propagation\, partitioning\, perturbation\, and acceleration.\nPlate boundary and intra-plate stresses.\nMain deformation styles according to rock mechanical properties.\nStrain significance of faults and fractures.\nCharacterizing fault\, deformation bands and tri-shear zones.\nPlays in extension styles; open fractures and normal faults.\nPlays in compressional regimes.\nPlays in strike-slip regimes.\nPlays in the superimposed deformation regimes.\nPlays in soft-sediments deformation regimes.\n\nPart- 3: Fundamentals of Tectono-Stratigraphy \n\nIntegrated geodynamic and tectono-stratigraphy approaches in Abu Gharadig.\nHierarchy of tectono-stratigraphy and the corresponding depositional sequences.\nGlobal facies pattern according to paleogeography and environments.\nElements of tectono-stratigraphy and environments of deposition.\nMain types of reservoir Sweet Spots.\nRole of sea levels and sediments influx.\nThe five elements that control the climate.\nControl of orbital changes on sea-level changes (Milankovitch cycles).\nPrincipals of carbonate and clastics influx.\nPlays of dolomite and carbonate build-ups by seepage reflux model.\n\nPart-4: Role of Tectono-Stratigraphy in Characterizing Petroleum Systems: \n\nConventional and unconventional hydrocarbon resources. \nEnergy in oil and gas\, Storing the sunlight energy as chemical energy in Hydrocarbons\, Gas\nhydrates. \nFactors that support development and characterization of petroleum resources.\nExploration for conventional petroleum resources.\nMechanisms for high organic productivity applied at North Africa.\nMain characteristics of the organo-facies (source rocks).\nMaturity of the organic matter\, hydrocarbon migration\, reservoir rocks\, reservoir sweet spots.\nStress partitioning to create open fractures sweet spots.\nHydrocarbon traps.\nSeals of petroleum traps.\nProduction mechanisms and water over run.\nSome exploration and production challenges.\n\nPart-5: Analysis of the Petroleum Basins in Egypt: \n\nMain basins in Egypt according to their tectonic origin\, architectures of the Syrian Arch\ninverted basin. \nChanging stress in North Africa since Early Mesozoic to Present\, regional hydraulic head of the\naquifers in Egypt. \nCauses for high organic productivity during Silurian and Jurassic-L. Cret. in North Egypt.\nThe three tectonic models in the offshore Mediterranean\, Egypt (Syrian Arc\, Matruh basin and\nchannel\, Nile delta). \nInversion of the Syrian Arc in north Egypt and possible source of stresses from west Arabia\n(Tabuk mantle plume). \nRole of the heterogeneous basement fabric in changing structure styles in north Egypt during\nthe Syrian Arc inversion. \nPattern of the onshore Nile deltas since Upper Eocene to Present.\nAnalysis of Abu Gharadig inverted basin.\nIntegrated geodynamic and tectono-stratigraphy approaches in Abu Gharadig field and other\nfields in the basin. \nInversion in Wadi El-Rayan and Beni Suef basin at the southern boundary of North Egypt basin\nForam basin in central Western Desert.\nBasin in central and southern Western Desert (Komombo rift basin).\nRegional tectonic model of Kalabsh block (Mesaha area).\nGulf of Suez active rift\, Red Sea passive margin\, Gulf of Aqaba passive rift.\n\nLOCATION\nThe first day will be held at the Holiday Inn Hotel in Cairo.   The participants will fly the second day to Hurghada to continue the course and return to Cairo on last day afternoon. \nCOURSE FEES\nInclusive of refreshment and lunch at the Holiday Inn Maadi Hotel. Air Ticket Cairo/Hurghada return and all inclusive accommodation. \nINSTRUCTOR PROFILE\nDr. Mesbah Hussein Ibrahim Khalil has Ph.D. in 1995 in Petroleum geology. He is a  senior consultant with 46 years industry experience. He is specialist in play generation\, field development including using advanced tectono-stratigraphy approaches in mapping reservoir sweet spots in extension\, compression\, strike-slip and superimposed petroleum basins. I am a liaison\, and teacher also.  He has worked with Gupco\, IEOC\, Suadi Aramco\, and Senior Consultant in Bahrain. \nMesbah created remarkable plays that led to successful discoveries and field development cases.  \nHe also developed a special skill in satellite data interpretations to produce surface structure contour maps to support the studies. I am also an international field trips leader for AAPG\, International geological union\, and post international conference trips since 1984.
