The objectives of this 4 day course are to provide attendees with a basic understanding of the tools, techniques and vocabulary of petroleum geologists. The concepts behind the application of geological principles as applied to the search for oil and gas will be emphasized throughout. Students will gain an understanding of the factors that control hydrocarbon generation and accumulation, the methodology used to explore for and develop hydrocarbon reserves, and data collection and interpretation techniques.

Attendees will gain a practical understanding of the principles used by petroleum geologists in the search for oil and gas. A key benefit will be an insight into how geologists approach problem solving. They will also learn the vocabulary and context of technical terms that are used in written reports and presentations they may attend.

Who Should Attend

Introduction to Petroleum Geology is designed to introduce oil and gas personnel to the tools and techniques used in the practice and profession of petroleum geology. The seminar is suitable for anyone in the oil industry, but will be particularly useful for those working with or supporting geoscientists, especially engineers, geotechs, technologists, administrators, G&G secretaries and marketing and finance personnel. No previous geological background is required or assumed. The sessions will include both the scientific foundation and the practical applications of geology.
