COURSE DESCRIPTION
|
|
This course covers the basic concepts
of the generation of petroleum and natural gas in source
rocks, their migration to reservoir rocks and their accumulation
in various types of traps in the subsurface. The course
will also introduce geological concepts and techniques
to exploration and production of petroleum and gas.

|
OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE
|
|
The main objectives of this course are:
(1) to introduce the student to basic geological concepts
of generation, migration and accumulation of petroleum
and natural gas to form economic reserves, and
(2). To teach the student applications of geological concepts
and techniques in exploration for and production of petroleum
and gas reserves.
