This course provides a general introduction to various non-conventional hydrocarbons, focused solely on a consistent geological rationale to the different potentially producing objectives, through a “petroleum system” approach.
Public :
Geologists, geophysicists, engineers, managers, E&P professionals in charge of basin exploration and prospect evaluation.
E&P professionals involved in production of unconventional hydrocarbons.
Level :Awareness
Prerequisite :
No pre-requisistes are necessary to follow this course.
