Course Overview
Geochemistry in Hydrocarbon Exploration is one of the most powerful scientific tools used to understand the origin, distribution, and quality of oil and gas resources. By analyzing the chemical composition of rocks, fluids, and gases, geochemistry provides critical indicators of hydrocarbon presence and helps evaluate reservoir potential.
This approach reduces exploration risks, improves prediction accuracy, and guides drilling operations toward the most promising zones. With the advancement of chemical analysis techniques, digital modeling, and integration with geological and geophysical data, geochemistry has become an essential part of modern exploration programs.
It enables companies to make more strategic decisions, optimize costs, and achieve sustainable resource management. This ten-day intensive workshop, titled “Geochemistry in Hydrocarbon Exploration”, is designed to provide participants with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in applying geochemical methods to petroleum exploration.
Through lectures, applied sessions, and case studies, participants will gain expertise in sample analysis, hydrocarbon indicators, source rock evaluation, reservoir management, and digital innovations.
