InstructorDr. Gehan Emara

Who should attend?Geologist, Geophysicist, Managers

Requirements Intermediate to advanced geological knowledge is assumed. Introductory experience is required, with knowledge of petroleum geology basics as well as seismic and well log interpretation experience.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

The aim of this course is to provide a sloid geoscience background needed by anyone engaged in Petroleum Systems Analysis. Attendees will learn what kinds of questions to ask, what kind of data is needed to build models and solve particular problems and to apply geological reasoning to quantifying uncertainties.

The course provides practical experience of analyzing data from a typical sedimentary basin, and is aimed at honing the analytical skills to evaluate petroleum systems and their hydrocarbon potential and to learn from examining global analogues. The course integrates lectures and a workshop that run concurrently to reinforce concepts and teach practical application in a working environment.
