About the programme
Course Overview
Sedimentary basin analysis is one of the most essential approaches in petroleum geology, providing a comprehensive understanding of hydrocarbon potential and reservoir distribution. Sedimentary basins are complex geological environments shaped by tectonic activity, depositional processes, and geodynamic evolution.
Studying these basins is crucial for identifying petroleum systems, evaluating source rocks, reservoirs, and seals, and assessing potential traps. Basin analysis integrates geological, geophysical, and geochemical data to reconstruct basin history, predict hydrocarbon accumulation, and guide exploration strategies.
The Sedimentary Basin Analysis for Hydrocarbon Potential workshop, delivered over ten intensive days, is designed to equip participants with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in basin analysis.
The program emphasizes depositional environments, tectonic influences, petroleum system elements, geophysical surveys, and advanced modeling techniques, supported by global case studies.
This workshop offers a unique opportunity for geologists, geophysicists, and petroleum engineers to strengthen their expertise in hydrocarbon exploration, reduce risks, and enhance operational efficiency.
