Course Objectives:

This course explains the application of geological principles to petroleum geology. It emphasizes depositional environments, structure geology, origin, migration, accumulation of petroleum, and the other related geological processes. The comprehensive nature of the course satisfies the geological factors necessary for commercial accumulation of hydrocarbons.

Course Outline:

• Basic concepts of petroleum geology
• Physical and chemical properties of hydrocarbons
• The subsurface environment
• Generation and migration of hydrocarbons
• The reservoir
• The trap
• The habitat of hydrocarbons in sedimentary basin
