It focuses on geological and geophysical principles and practices, demonstrates their application to hydrocarbon exploration and production and provides an understanding of the factors and processes involved in the formation of oil and gas fields and their worldwide distribution. It also reviews the recent trends in the global petroleum industry and provides an insight into the operations of the international oil companies.
Course Objectives
Apart from the fact that the participants will learn the principles of geology and geophysics, the internal properties of earth will also be discussed. This will be stressed to explained how it affects oil and gas exploration and production.
