Course Description
This introductory course is designed for industry professionals with no prior geological training. Registrants will gain an understanding of fundamental geological principles and the tools and techniques used in petroleum exploration. An emphasis in the course is to provide the background and terminology required to communicate more effectively with geoscientists. The course introduces the various tools of the trade and explains their use. Examples are provided from a world-wide selection of important oil fields and major plays in the locale where the course is taught. The course will cover fundamentals of geological principles employed to find, develop and produce oil and gas reservoirs, the type of data required to build a model of the subsurface, and the different methods used to display information. Furthermore, this course will demystify the language used by geoscientists and help participants understand the relevance of petroleum geology within the overall framework of the upstream oil and gas industry.

-
- Origin, nature, and occurrence of petroleum
