Syllabus: |
PETROGEO 4013 presents an integrated course containing modules focusing on the definition of geological energy systems within sedimentary basins, covering both conventional and unconventional petroleum resources, gas energy storage and by-product sequestration resources, water resources and geothermal resources. This course covers a range of topics related to the key elements and processes of a petroleum system, and applies this resource system concept to define the operating components of the other geological energy systems in sedimentary basins that will become key parts of the energy transition. The course will progress to focus on basin analysis and history modelling that accounts for the development of resources over geological time to the present day, and predicts evolving basin conditions for ongoing extractive, storage and disposal energy operations of the future. This course includes a capstone, field-based learning experience that will place at an appropriate stage in the Semester 1 coursework schedule. Focused experiences on this trip will provide a broad, conceptual framework for the way sedimentary basins function as current & future energy resources, and will encompass the key technical topic areas of energy exploration geoscience, namely: sedimentology, stratigraphy, diagenesis, structural geology, geomechanics, reservoirs, seals, conventional pay and trapping systems. |
