The petroleum industry, from upstream to downstream encompasses some of the World’s largest and most complex infrastructure, commercial and trade networks. But where does it all begin? Where do the oil and gas come from and how are hydrocarbons found?
This course was developed to provide petroleum industry professionals with a working knowledge of the Geology elements and processes relevant to hydrocarbon Exploration and Production. The main concepts and terms used in Petroleum Geology will be addressed as well as the exploration and production tools, types of data and software and how geoscientists identify and evaluate drill-worthy prospects. It is aimed at engineers and petrophysicists without geological background, administrative staff, accountants, law professionals, production technologists, health and safety officers, economists and anyone dealing with geology-related matters or with geoscience professionals. This course consists of classroom presentations, case studies and practical exercises.
o Introduction to Geology
o Sedimentary basins
o Basin Analysis and Regional Geology
o Different types of basins
o The fundamental elements of the Petroleum system
o Source rocks, hydrocarbon generation and migration
o Conventional hydrocarbon reservoirs - clastic and carbonate
o Non-conventional hydrocarbon reservoirs
o Seal rocks and seal capacity
o Plays and play-based exploration
o Structural and stratigraphic traps, examples
o Outcrop mapping and the beginning of the oil industry
o Indications of an oil system, oil spills, outcrop geology
o Seismic techniques and the use of seismic in geological mapping
o Exploration wells and borehole data acquisition
o Sedimentology and Biostratigraphy
o Other exploration techniques: aeromagnetic, gravimetry, CSEM
o Mapping plays and defining an area of interest
o The Use of Analogs in Exploration Geology
o Types of data and software used
o Definition of lead/prospect
o Geological and technological factors of a lead/prospect
o Geological risk and volumetry
o Maturation process up to drill-worthy prospect
o Volumetric assessment of a discovery
o Definition of hydrocarbon phase and contacts (Gas - Oil and Oil - Water)
o Definition of geological uncertainties and the need for oil field assessment
o The Financial Investment Decision (FID) for the development of an oil field
Instructor holds a degree in Geology and a European Doctorate (PhD) in Stratigraphy and Petroleum Geology and has ca. 16 years of experience in the Energy industry, in exploration projects of Oman, Mozambique, Brazil, Angola, Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, Gabon, Morocco, and other Atlantic basins. He is an advanced seismic interpreter, including sediment fairways identification, deep water sedimentation characterization, sequence stratigraphy and prospect generation and risking. He has worked extensively with well correlation, biostratigraphy, regional prospectivity studies and has managed teams and projects in multiple cultural environments. He has mentored and supervised Bsc and Msc students, and young professionals and taught several short courses and lectures on these subjects.
As part of his career, he worked at Petroleum Development Oman as a Stratigrapher where he was responsible for the Precambrian and Lower Paleozoic stratigraphy studies and for the scientific management of the palynology laboratory of the company. He followed multiple wells as an operational stratigrapher providing real-time advice to the well geologists for casing points, TD calls, etc. He also contributed to the biostratigraphic zonation review of the subsurface of Oman.
He is affiliated with the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE), the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) and a corresponding member of the Devonian subcommission of the International Commission on Stratigraphy.
This course is designed for industry professionals who deal with Petroleum Geology regularly and want to know more, including:
o Young geoscientists with limited exposure to the oil industry
o Petroleum engineers (reservoir, drilling, facilities, )
o Geophysicists with little experience or training in Petroleum Geology
o Petrophysicists with little experience or training in Petroleum Geology
o Technical Support Professionals
o HSE professionals
o Economics, Law, Finance and Human Resources professionals
o Data management, IT and administrative professionals
o Intermediate
The purpose of this course is to provide participants with a global and practical view of Petroleum Geology. At the end of the course, participants will have acquired knowledge to:
o Understand the geological cycle and the basic concepts of sedimentary geology
o Recognize the main elements and processes of a petroleum system
o Understand basin analysis concepts, regional geology and exploration techniques
o Understand how seismic, well and outcrop data can be used for exploration and production
o Be able to conceptually define a prospect, calculate volumes and assess
o Assess how Petroleum Geology allows a discovery to be evaluated and developed
