COURSE OVERVIEW

This course includes worked examples from a variety of basin types and examines the combined roles of tectonics, eustasy, palaeoclimate, and biotic evolution in basin development. The program focuses on the practical application of integrated datasets and demonstrates how these tools can be effectively used in basin analysis to improve geological interpretation and exploration outcomes.

INSTRUCTOR

Instructor Profile

Instructor is a geologist with expertise in basin modeler and organic geochemist. He has more than 15 years of experience in the petroleum industry exploring conventional and  unconventional hydrocarbon resources. His educational background in petroleum engineering,  petroleum exploration, and mining exploration provides him with great abilities to understand and solve HC exploration problems. He developed new ideas and technologies which led to publishing several papers and two patents. He has experience in basins located in North America, Europe and  northern part of the Arabian plate. During his career, he instructed lectures, presentations and on  job training for different geological communities, companies and universities, including Polytechnic University of Tehran, Tehran University, National Iranian Oil Company, RIPI, POGC, Canada’s  Energy Geoscientists. Afshin is a member of AAPG, HGC, HOGC, SPE, and APPIH.
