Syllabus: |
This course provides an introduction to geology and subsurface geoscience (first half of the semester) and an introduction to GeoEnergy resources (second half of the semester). No prior knowledge in geology is assumed and the course starts from basic geological concepts (e.g. minerals, igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, metamorphic rocks, rock deformation and geological time) then moves onto critical concepts in GeoEnergy resources (e.g. source rocks, reservoir rocks, sealing rocks, maturation, migration and trapping of hydrocarbons, carbon capture and storage) and finally introduces the tools used in the safe and sustainable exploration for subsurface. GeoEnergy resources (seismic surveying, drilling and logging). Throughout the semester one lecture per week is also given by a guest speaker in order to provide an overview of the GeoEnergy industry. Theoretical concepts introduced during the lectures are applied during series of interactive practicals addressing topics including rock and mineral identification, geological mapping and seismic interpretation. |
