INTRODUCTION:
The study of the origin, occurrence, migration, and exploration of hydrocarbon fuels is known as petroleum geology. It entails a particular set of geological techniques that are used in the process of oil exploration, which is generally referred to as the search for hydrocarbon
Knowing or correctly identifying folds and faults is a crucial but challenging component of geology because they create traps where oil and natural gas can accumulate.
Course Objectives:
The primary objective of this Petroleum Geology and Petroleum Geoscience course is to empower professionals with—
- a thorough understanding of all critical aspects of petroleum geology and petroleum geoscience
- the required knowledge and information of relevant petroleum geology- and geoscience-related concepts that can be applied to enhance processes within relevant operations
- the needed confidence and experience to train other professionals on various aspects related to petroleum geology and geoscience
- the knowledge of all geology- and geoscience-related risks that pose a big threat or hindrance to the petroleum exploration and accumulation process and the ability to overcome these without much impact on the organisation
- the experience and confidence to work with advanced technology to enhance the quality and speed of various processes undertaken during the exploration and extraction of petroleum
- the potential and ability to contribute to organisational growth by upgrading systems and processes to match existing competition and meet the challenging demands of the market
- the knowledge of optimising exploration and extraction processes to identify the best sources and make the best use of resources from these areas, thereby reducing redundant costs for subsequent exploration activities
- the understanding and experience to ensure that all activities carried out are within the geological limits and guidelines expected of the organisation
