Advanced Petroleum Geology

Description : 

The goal of this course is for participants to understand the systems that generate fossil hydrocarbons. Such insights form the basis for the successful exploration and production of these valuable natural resources. This course addresses the origin, distribution and analysis of source rocks, geological structures, and sedimentary layers that allow petroleum accumulations to form in the subsurface, as well as the porous subsurface rock formations that store petroleum resources.
