PGEG 397 Field Petroleum Geology
Field Petroleum Geology is concerned with the study of lithologies and structures in the field. The course
addresses vertical and horizontal variability in depositional facies and physical characteristics in reservoirs in three dimensions, and shows how physical variability affects petroleum capacity, flow, and production. Attention is paid to post-depositional diagenetic processes and their effect on reservoir evolution. Students make geological and petrophysical measurement of time and facies-equivalents to UAE carbonate reservoirs. The course includes two periods of two weeks of fieldwork, each followed by one week of data integration and report writing.
