This course allows to acquire a basic knowledge in geology, especially geology applied to petroleum sciences, using field observation and analysis alternating with theoretical knowledge via daily classes.
Public :
Non-geologists or geologist trainers/juniors who want to acquire basic knowledge in petroleum sciences.
Level :Knowledge
Prerequisite :
No pre-requisites are necessary to follow this course.
