Second year, spring. 6 weeks intensive teaching
The module resolves how oil and gass are formed and accumulated in the earht's crust, and gives an overview on the geological evolution of the Norwegian continental margin. The course also provides an introduction to the most important logging methods and practical interpretation of well loggs.
GE406 Physical geology, GE457 Mineralogy and sedimentology
Stratigraphy and stratigraphic conditions. Sequence stratigraphy/seismic stratigraphy and basin analysis. Diagenisis in clastic sediments. Basic petroleum geology: source rocks, reservoir rocks, principal formation and migration of petroleum. Well logging: the most important logging methods and tools; the relation between measured parameters and formation porosity, fluid and gass content, lithology and clay content. Exercises include techniques used in interpretation of well logg data. Petroleum formation and the geology of the Norwegian continental margin.
