COURSE OVERVIEW

The course provides a fundamental and comprehensive introduction to structural geology. Participants will gain insight into geometrical, kinematical, and mechanical analyses, with strong emphasis on process understanding. Key topics covered include geomechanics, tectonics, inversion, structural reservoir modelling, and reservoir modelling. The main objective of the course is to develop clear guidelines for pore pressure theory and its application in static models. We aim to maximize the value of existing procedures and methodologies while striving for excellence in practical application. The methodologies and workflows will be illustrated using real data and experience from full-field studies conducted by the instructor. Participants will also learn how theoretical concepts developed for one geological setting can be adapted and applied effectively in different regions.
