PETROGEO 4010 - Fundamentals of Energy Geoscience

PETROGEO 4010 is an integrated course of modules focusing on the characterisation and interpretation of sedimentary basin rock systems as hosts of conventional and unconventional petroleum resources, resources for gas energy storage and by- product sequestration, water resources and geothermal resources. The key technical topics are sedimentology, stratigraphy, structural geology and stratigraphic framework modelling by seismic survey data analysis and interpretation. Other sub- modular themes covered include reservoir controls in siliciclastic and carbonate depositional systems, facies analysis, petrology and diagenesis, correlation of strata using a variety of stratigraphic techniques such as sequence stratigraphy and biostratigraphy, and geomechanics. One particular module concerns wellsite operations, principally drilling, wireline logging and well testing. The focus here is on both the acquisition and interpretation of rock sample, petrophysical log and well test data.
