Subscribe View Sample Lesson 4:45 hours

This course, Integrated Petroleum Geochemistry for Unconventional Plays, focuses on the vital role of reservoir fluid geochemistry in the development and monitoring of unconventional tight reservoirs. It covers the fundamentals of fluid mobility, fluid sampling methods, and interpretation of oil, gas, and water chemistry. The course elaborates on how geochemical data complements geological and engineering studies to optimize production and understand reservoir drainage, fluid properties, and well interactions. Students will also explore principles of production allocation, thermal maturation, and the evaluation of anomalous gas-oil ratios. Throughout the course, applications of geochemistry from exploration to tertiary recovery are emphasized to support integrated field development strategies.Read more...
