Integrated Basin Analysis Training

Overview

🧾 Course Description:

This advanced course provides participants with a robust understanding of integrated basin analysis, combining geological, geophysical, geochemical, and geochronological data to understand sedimentary basin evolution and petroleum systems. The course emphasizes multi-disciplinary integration to assess source rock potential, maturation, migration, reservoir presence, and trap integrity. Real case studies and workflows illustrate how integrated basin analysis reduces exploration risk and enhances subsurface evaluation.

👥 Who Should Attend:

Exploration and development geologists
Basin modelers and geochemists
Petroleum system analysts
Geophysicists and geoscientists involved in prospect evaluation
E&P professionals looking to improve exploration risk assessment

🛠️ Training Format:

5 days – Classroom or virtual instructor-led format
Includes theoretical lectures, real case studies, mapping workshops
Hands-on exercises using actual datasets and manual methods
Optional software demos if applicable (e.g., PetroMod, BasinMod)
