Basic Petroleum Geochemistry

Understanding the basic concepts of source rock and oil evaluation is crucial for explorationists in the hydrocarbon industry. This course highlights the importance of petroleum geochemistry in exploration and production and provides the relevant knowledge for its successful application.

The Basic Petroleum Geochemistry course is aimed at exploration geologists and non-geochemists in the petroleum industry looking for a general understanding of source rock and oil geochemistry

The Basic Petroleum Geochemistry course delivers the fundamental knowledge needed to characterise source rock potential and maturity. It also reviews the application of biomarkers for oil evaluation. This course includes lectures and associated hands-on workshops.

Learn the main aspects of petroleum geochemistry and become familiar with the analytical methods and techniques. Be able to critically review geochemical data and reports and help communicate with your geochemist colleagues. Learn the fundamentals of using the p:IGI+ as part of your interpretation workflow.
