Course objectives
It is the science and practice of applying hydrogeological principles and techniques to petroleum exploration and basin analysis. The course includes the various aspects of the interaction between subsurface fluids (water, oil, gas) and their geologic environments, such as the principles, processes, manifestations, controlling factors, as well as techniques of investigation.
Learning outcomes
The main objective is to understand the combined processes of migration, accumulation, and entrapment of hydrocarbons, and to learn the application of this understanding to exploration.
Syllabus
  • The presented topics are: subsurface fluid dynamics, hydraulics, chemistry, and distribution of subsurface fluids as determined by such controlling environmental factors as pressure, temperature, depth, topography, lithology, structure, geological history, climate.
