Download Full Course Outline

Prospecting and exploration fall within the first step for finding oil and gas. Understanding of geological processes that are relevant for the formation of oil and gas are the fundamental knowledge that geologists working for oil and gas companies or governments should have. Added to the essential knowledge is the need to understand various stages involved in exploration work flow, skills and knowledge of vital tools used in hydrocarbon exploration.

 

This course which entails instructions, case studies, hands-on exercises on various modeling, touches the length and breadth of hydrocarbon exploration. Computer is required for this course.

 

 This course discusses the fundamentals of all aspects of petroleum exploration.
