Aspects of Petroleum Geology: How to Generate, Evaluate and Propose a Prospect to Drill with Less Risk of Failure
Introduction:
This comprehensive 5-day professional training course will provide you with in-depth knowledge and practical skills in the generation, evaluation, and proposal of petroleum prospects with a reduced risk of failure.
Designed for aspiring and experienced petroleum geologists, geophysicists, and engineers working in the oil and gas industry, this course will equip you with the expertise to identify and assess potential hydrocarbon reservoirs, formulate effective exploration strategies, and prepare compelling prospect proposals.
Course Objectives:
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
• Thoroughly understand the fundamental principles of petroleum geology and basin analysis
• Apply geological and geophysical techniques to identify and evaluate potential hydrocarbon reservoirs
• Construct subsurface geological models and interpret seismic data to assess reservoir potential
• Conduct comprehensive prospect evaluations, considering geological factors, reservoir characteristics, and economic viability
• Prepare persuasive prospect proposals that clearly articulate the geological basis for drilling
