Summary |
---|
Petroleum geology is the study of origin, occurrence, movement, accumulation, and exploration of hydrocarbon fuels. It refers to the specific set of geological disciplines that are applied to the search for hydrocarbons (oil exploration). |
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
---|
The course is devoted to basic concepts in the development of sedimentary basins, their hydrocarbon potential, development in time with the organic matter burial during diagenesis and subsequent migration of hydrocarbons into natural reservoirs. |
Course Contents |
---|
