Course Goal:

The course has a basic skills component to bring the participants up to a common level from which they can tackle the more specialist elements. Advanced structural geology and properties of rocks in the subsurface are taught through course elements in large scale structural geology, reservoir rock properties and geomechanics.

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course, participant will be able to:

1. Observe the results of the earth’s history and processes
2. Reconstruct the events giving rise to certain formations and their arrangement
3. Predict where oil accumulations might occur

Course Outline:

1. Petroleum System Module
2. Introduction to petroleum geology and Petroleum system
3. Structural geology and subsurface mapping
4. Reservoir sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy
5. Exploration Module
6. Exploration geophysics
7. Exploration geochemistry
