OBJECTIVES: To enable the students to
• Have basic understanding of broad array of tools used in the search for and production of hydrocarbon reserves
• Learn the principles of mapping a subsurface reservoir and estimating the volumetrics.

UNIT I

Introduction to earth science - Origin of earth. Nature and properties of minerals and rocks. Sedimentation and sedimentary environment. Stratigraphy and geological time scale. Introduction of plate tectonics.

UNIT II

9
Sedimentalogy of Petroleum bearing sequences - Sedimentary basins. Generation and Migration of Petroleum. Physical and Chemical properties of Petroleum.


UNIT III

9
Subsurface Environment – Formation fluids – Composition, temperature, pressure and dynamics. Traps and Seals. The Reservoir. Generation and Migration and Distribution.

UNIT IV
