Course Value

It is a blend of theory, class exercises and case studies which cover not only the petroleum geosciences, but how the various disciplines are integrated into multi-disciplinary oilfield applications. The course covers geological processes for basin development, petroleum systems, depositional settings, structural and stratigraphic trap development, controls on reservoir quality, reservoir characterization and modeling, and reserves estimations.

Course Participants

Geoscientists who require a practical familiarity with the application of a variety of state-of-the-art conventional and unconventional tools of hydrocarbon evaluation to sedimentary basins.
