PETROLEUM GEOLOGY

Course Description

The course is designed as an introduction to processes leading to the formation of petroleum reservoirs. Understanding of the petroleum system, introduction to hydrocarbons, hydrocarbons migration and accumulation will be addressed. Formation of sedimentary rocks and organic carbon-rich petroleum source rocks will be introduced. Detailed relevant information will be given in detail: Crude oil, natural gas, coal, petrography, oil exploration, petrophysics, general geology, regional geology, geological process, sedimentary rock, volcanic rock, metamorphic rock, shale, petroleum containing shale, sedimentology, sedimentary basin, stratigraphy, organic matter, reservoir rock, impervious layer, pervious layer, cap rock, facies, exploration hole, micropaleontology, drilling, correlation, age designation, sedimentary facies, porosity, chemistry, API, carbon content, sandstone, fractured limestones, primary sedimentary conditions, diagenesis, metagenesis, tectonics, plate tectonics, structural geology, organic geochemistry, subsidence, folding, uplift, faulting, well log, geological mapping, seismology, gravimetric methods, resistivity measurements, energy, fossil fuel, reservoir and production engineering, marsh, methane, biogenic, viscosity, condensate, hydrogen. carbon, sedimentary environments: oceans, lakes, lagoons, marshes, depth of settlement, temperature, faults, discontinuities, migration paths, migration time, migration process, grain size, grain form, sorting, orientation, oil trap.
