Basin Analysis Workshop: An Integrated Approach to the Exploration and Evaluation of Conventional and Unconventional Resources

Rather than surveying the world's basins, this workshop equips participants with the theory, methods and practice to build their own integrated basin evaluations. Geological, geochemical and geophysical tools are combined to assess conventional and unconventional petroleum systems through time.

Every course can be delivered in-house and tailored to your organisation.

Who should attend

Geoscientists, particularly in new ventures and asset evaluation, who need a practical, integrated approach to regional and local basin assessment.

What participants will be able to do

  • Assess how a basin's petroleum system evolves through space and time
  • Build predictive basin models for exploration
  • Evaluate burial history through subsidence analysis
  • Determine thermal history and its effect on source maturity

Topics covered

  • Basin evolution
  • Tectonic subsidence analysis
  • Thermal history
  • Source rock maturity
  • Predictive basin modelling
  • Unconventional play assessment
