531 Petroleum Systems Fundamentals
This half-day class gives participants an overview of the evolution of oil and gas accumulations from the preservation of organic material in sediments to the eventual entrapment of hydrocarbons in the subsurface. The lectures focus on the elements of a petroleum system—source rock, reservoir, and seal; and the essential processes—trap formation and hydrocarbon generation, migration, accumulation, and preservation. This multidisciplinary petroleum systems approach is built upon the geologic and geochemical framework of sedimentary basins that aid exploration and development geologists in the prediction of hydrocarbon occurrence, quality, and quantity in all types of basins regardless of age, size, or hydrocarbon potential in both conventional and unconventional plays. No experience or prerequisite is required other than basic geological knowledge.
