Here are the main topics to introduce your self to petroleum geology: It is required that you got a basic knowledge of this topic: The petroleum system. Organic origin of petroleum, The Carbon Cycle, Introduce yourself to the formation of a petroleum deposit from source to trap. What is Petroleum? Chemical Properties of Petroleum, like components and molecular types. Physical Properties, like density. The subsurface environment Temperature within the earth (Heat flow equation) and Pressure. (Lithostatic Stress, Hydrostatic Pressure, Overpressure, Subsurface waters and Fluid thermodynamics) Review of Sedimentary Basins, and Sedimentary rocks. Describe by plate tectonics and erosion. Sedimentary environments, Continental and Marine. The source: How oil forms Organic Productivity, Preservation of Organic Matter, and Formation of Kerogen (van Krevelen). Migration Primary Migration and Secondary Migration Traps Classification of traps Review of Structure Relationship between plate tectonic setting and structural style, Anticlinal traps, Fault Related traps, Normal fault traps, Thrust fault traps, Strike slip traps and Diapirs Stratigraphic Traps. Traps related to unconformities, Diagenetic traps, Sedimentological traps, Hydrodynamic traps Methods of Exploration: Introduction The exploration process Regional Geologic Analysis Surface Geology, Geological Cross-Sections Subsurface Geological Maps Geochemical Sampling Remote Sensing
