PETROLEUM GEOLOGY
COURSE OVERVIEW & LEARNING OUTCOMES
The petroleum geology course takes participants through the origins of hydrocarbon, foundations of geology, the 3D geometric description of the reservoir and how the myriad of geologic data can be integrated with engineering to manage petroleum reservoirs. Participants study the accumulation of hydrocarbon and conditions that support it, historical depositional environments, geologic time and history, carbon-cycles and the concept of total organic carbon (TOC) amongst others.
This course can also be taken by none geoscientist to get some understanding of geological principles and processes and how petroleum systems work.
