This unit outlines the fundamentals of reservoir geology and the process of the formation of petroleum-bearing sedimentary basins and hydrocarbon reservoirs. It is a core unit of the petroleum engineering discipline in which students will understand the origin of hydrocarbon formation in the source rock as well as the phenomena of hydrocarbon migration, accumulation and reservoir creation. In addition, students will learn the techniques for exploration and evaluation of underground petroleum resources and methods to determine the reservoir lithology and rock/fluid characteristics.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will engage in learning experiences through ECUs LMS as well as additional ECU l
