Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. This course is designed to provide participants with an advanced and up-to-date overview of geology. It covers the geology and earth science; the rock types and cycling comprising of igneous rocks/volcanic and volcanism, metamorphic rocks, sedimentary rocks/sedimentary process and rock cycling; the basic rocks and fluid properties, structural geology, primary structures and stresses /strains and their relations to rock deformation; the faults, fractures, folds and unconformities of secondary structures; the petroleum and petroleum system process and the classification of petroleum; the petroleum migration, petroleum accumulation and petroleum timing; and the petroleum system elements covering petroleum source rocks, petroleum cap rocks and trapping mechanism. During this interactive course, participants will learn the petroleum reservoir rocks, reservoir properties and reservoir fluids; the exploration techniques for petroleum; the geophysical methods, geochemical methods, subsurface methods and exploration application; the drilling methods and techniques, well casing and cementing, well completion and stimulation, fracking and oil refinery; monitoring a well while drilling; the mud logging, lag time calculation, sample collection and preparation; and the ditch sample evaluation, hydrocarbon and gas shows evaluation, wireline operations and logging while drilling operations.
