This introductory course reviews the fundamental elements of the petroleum geology. It starts by placing hydrocarbons in a global context; the philosophy and structure of the oil industry; energy trends, future resources. The petroleum environment is then reviewed: source rocks, reservoirs, traps, seals and the timing of generation relative to trap formation. The course then examines the subsurface environments, subsurface temperature and pressure and the impact on petroleum systems. The usage and display of typical subsurface geological data, and an introduction to seismic and wireline logs. This is then developed into a definition of petroleum systems and an introduction to play fairway definition and finally leads / prospects. The course concludes with the assessment of subsurface resources by calculating in-place reserves using deterministic methods.
