Geology Course

Petroleum Geochemistry For Exploration Geoscientist

The primary objective is to provide the participants with the basics of petroleum geochemistry analysis, to be focused on the familiarity with the different geochemical techniques and the interpretation of their specific results, in order to best evaluate from the petroleum potential of sedimentary basins, the hydrocarbon migration pathways (at a basin or field scale) to biodegradation.
