Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of basic geology. It covers the geology and earth science that includes structure of earth and evolution of earth; the geological time scale and earth surface; the rock types and cycling comprising of igneous rocks/volcanic and volcanism, metamorphic rocks, sedimentary rocks/sedimentary process and rock cycling; and the structural geology, the primary structures, stresses/strains and their relations to rock deformation and the faults fractures and unconformities of secondary structures. Further, the course will also discuss the petroleum and petroleum system process; the origin and occurrence of petroleum including the principal forms of petroleum and unconventional resources; the petroleum system elements covering petroleum source rocks, cap rocks, reservoir rocks and rock property analysis; the exploration techniques for petroleum including geophysical methods, geochemical methods, subsurface methods and exploration application; and the drilling methods and techniques for vertical wells, deviated wells and horizontal wells.During this interactive course, participants will learn the well casing, cementing, well completion, stimulation, fracking and oil refinery; monitoring the well while drilling; the mud logging, log time calculation, rate penetration and its implementation, sample collection and preparation; the ditch sample, hydrocarbon and gas shows evaluation; monitoring the well post drilling and the wireline operations and logging while drilling operations; and the logging tools, basic petrophysical terminology, petrophysical interpretation and petroleum field cycle.
