Course Objectives:

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Understand the Role of Structural Geology in Hydrocarbon Systems
• Identify the key structural features that control the formation, migration, and entrapment of hydrocarbons.
2. Interpret Geological and Seismic Data for Hydrocarbon Exploration
• Use geological mapping and seismic interpretation techniques to identify and evaluate structural features that influence hydrocarbon accumulation.
3. Analyze Faults and Fractures in Hydrocarbon Reservoirs
• Analyze fault and fracture systems and understand their role in reservoir compartmentalization, fluid migration, and connectivity.
4. Integrate Structural Geology with Other Data
• Integrate geological, geophysical, and petrophysical data to create accurate models of hydrocarbon systems and improve exploration and production efficiency.
5. Apply Structural Geology to Reservoir Development
• Use structural geology principles to optimize well planning, reservoir management, and exploration risk assessment.
