Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course students will have a broad and integrated knowledge of the basic principles and industrial applications of petroleum geology, petroleum geochemistry, subsurface fluids, geophysical exploration and wireline well logging. They will develop a detailed knowledge of the plays in the North and South North Sea. They will be knowledgeable on the principal and specialised skills used in the industry: reconnaissance gravity, magnetic and regional seismic reflection surveys and wireline logging. The interpretation of the main logging devices and seismic sections will enable students to practise drawing on a range of sources in making judgements. |
Assessment Information
100% degree exam, which will include material taught in both lectures and practicals, and may also include practical exercises. |
