GEOCHEMICAL COURSE OFFERING
ADVANCED LEVEL COURSE
Oil Geochemistry for the Geoscientist (OILS)
This course is designed for geoscientists and engineers wishing to become skilled in the evaluation and application of bulk chemical, stable carbon isotope, and biomarker data now routinely available for oils and source-rock extracts. The course is exercise-based, using sample oils from GeoMark’s RFDbase.
COURSE CONTENT
Examine the interpretative utility of tricyclic and pentacyclic terpane and sterane data
Review the compositional attributes of oils derived from sources deposited in distal marine, shale-rich systems, carbonate- and marl-rich environments, coaly-resinitic, paralic and lacustrine systems; and oils closely associated with hypersaline and evaporitic water bodies.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to: 1) describe the origin and history of individual oils, and 2) be able to use this knowledge to (typically) determine source-rock lithology, depositional environment, geologic age, and thermal maturity of expelled fluids.
We provide tools to enhance knowledge and insight into:
⦿
Petroleum Systems in 3 (and perhaps 4) dimensions
⦿
Petroleum migration in conventional and unconventional resource plays
⦿
Aspects of time-lapse (i.e. reservoir-level) geochemistry
