Petroleum Geology
Course overview
The course will focus on integrating a solid understanding of geological processes with basic knowledge of the industry tools scopes, applicability and limitations that rule exploration workflows and finally determine success and failures.
The course is designed for
-
Professionals (engineers, economists) of oil companies, institutions, support or simply understand geologists involved in oil and gas exploration projects
-
Geologists, geophysicists and reservoir engineers who want to learn the methodology for applying sequence stratigraphy to correlation, facies analysis and delineation of stratigraphic traps
