The course aims to cover important aspects of geology, geophysics and prospect evaluation and to illustrate how geologists deal with uncertainty and risk during the exploration process. It will also look at the place of the geoscientist during the productive life of an oilfield. Another key aspect of this course will be the issue of communication between geoscientists and engineers. By the end of this course students should understand how geologists explore for oil and gas, and the main tools at their disposal; the role of the geophysicist; how to make prospect maps; petroleum volumetrics; subsurface fluid flow; and the creation of static reservoir models.
