Who should attend?

  • To gain a greater understanding of important geological processes in a petroleum basin, this course provides an understanding of various geochemical techniques, leading to sedimentary basins’ hydrocarbon potential evaluation and to the identification of hydrocarbon migration pathways.
Public :
  • Geologists, geophysicists or geochemists involved in petroleum potential evaluation or in reservoir management.

Level :Awareness

Prerequisite :
  • Degree in geology or geophysics, with fundamental knowledge in hydrocarbons evaluation.

Course Content

  • INTRODUCTION TO PETROLEUM SYSTEMS

  • SOURCE ROCKS: FORMATION & DISTRIBUTION - Duration : 1 Day

      • Formation of source rocks:
      • Type of organic matter.
      • Distribution of source rocks in space & time.

  • FROM SOURCE ROCK TO ACCUMULATION - Duration : 1 Day

      • Formation of Oil & Gas:
      • Methods for evaluation of the source rocks.
      • Modeling of hydrocarbon formation.
      • Migration.

  • MOLECULAR FOSSILS, BIOMARKERS - Duration : 1 Day

      • Concept of “biomarker”:
      • Analytical methods.
      • Markers of origin and environments.
      • Oil/source rock correlation.
      • Maturity parameters.
      • Oil spill survey.

  • ALTERATION IN RESERVOIRS

  • WORKSHOP ON A PETROLEUM SYSTEM

  • SUMMARY, SYNTHESIS & WRAP-UP

      • The petroleum system of South Atlantic Ocean.
