WHO SHOULD ATTEND THIS COURSE:
This course is designed for early career professionals, particularly degreed engineers with little or no formal training in geology.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
We will build on your existing science and engineering background in order to enhance your professional growth in those areas of geology related to petroleum exploration and development. This applied course will be centered around the concept of a Petroleum System - an integrated understanding of hydrocarbon source, migration, reservoir, trap, seal and timing.
COURSE FORMAT:
The course will be conducted informally, with lectures interspersed with discussions by all participants. Exercises will reinforce introduced concepts, with attendees working as two-person teams. Enrollment will be limited to 36 participants.
The course will include a daily continental breakfast, afternoon snack and beverages. Students are responsible for their own lunch.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
You will gain a basic understanding of:
- Factors that control hydrocarbon generation and accumulation,
- Procedures used to find and produce hydrocarbons,
- Data collection and interpretation techniques,
- The roles and skills required of exploration and development professionals, and
- The worldwide occurrence of hydrocarbon deposits.
