Course Modules

Petroleum Geology

The course aims to broaden understanding of petroleum geology by explaining
Geological principles & processes; describing how petroleum reservoirs and source rocks are formed.

• Minerals and rocks.

• Deposition and diagenesis.

• Plate tectonics.

• Structural geology and petroleum systems.

• Generation, migration and trapping of petroleum.

• Geophysics and Engineering in Exploration & Production

Basin Analysis

The course aims to cover theories, methods and practice to develop and optimize basin evaluation & modelling techniques by analysing different basin types.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to construct and interpret geo-history Subsidence curves using computer software for basin modelling.

The course will also include a rigorous geophysical-petrophysical workshop for sequence
Stratigraphy, reservoir characterization and development geology.

• Introduction to the Petroleum System

• Geo-mechanical Fundamentals of Basin Formation

• Burial History Curve

• Organic Geochemistry: Quantity, Quality, and Maturity

• Migration Pathways

• Reservoir-Traps-Seals and Analogs

• Basin Classification

Gas Reservoir Management

The course is aimed at developing a broader understanding of the engineering features related to gas reservoir management, allied with sound engineering practices to maximize gas reservoir value.

Full spectra of gas reservoir engineering techniques are considered & their application to a variety of options is discussed.

• Gas reservoir fluid properties

• Gas reservoir fluid flow and well testing

• Determination of original gas-in-place

• Gas flow in well bores and pipelines

• Prediction of future performance and ultimate recovery

• Reservoir management of water-drive gas reservoirs
