Essentials of Hydrocarbon Exploration
Course Description
Finding new oil and gas reserves is core business for most oil & gas companies or government petroleum organizations. Geologist working in exploration teams need to have a thorough grasp of the geological processes that are relevant for the formation of oil and gas pools. Also they must have skills in, and awareness of the multitude of tools used in petroleum exploration.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?

This course discusses the essentials of all aspects of petroleum exploration. The course is designed around the workflow of any exploration venture: from the collection of regional data and assessment of plate tectonic setting, to prospect and play analysis. At the end of the course the candidates will have a good general understanding of the basics of oil and gas exploration.

Training Objective

By the end of this course delegates will learn about:

  • Overview of world-wide oil & gas occurrences
  • Formation of sedimentary basins
  • Play concepts and petroleum systems
  • Fundamentals of seismic acquisition, processing & Interpretation
  • Key aspects of reservoirs (clastics & carbonates), seals, and source rocks
  • Trap formation and structural style
  • Hydrocarbon generation & migration

 

 

 

 

 



  • Oil and gas prospect mapping
  • Basin prospectivity assessment
  • Volumes, risk & uncertainty, exploration economics
