The objective of the AAPG course on "[PFItemLinkShortcode|id:17736|type:standard|anchorText:Clay Minerals (Classification, Structure, Chemistry, Properties, Diagenesis) in Reservoir Evaluation|cssClass:|title:|PFItemLinkShortcode]" is to instill enough fundamental and applied information about clay minerals that a person will know what questions are relevant when formulating a work flow for a project, when evaluating real data, or when trying to figure out what might have "gone wrong" during a project. Practical experience in working with clay mineralogy is not required for this course, being held on November 12, as part of AAPG’s [PFItemLinkShortcode|id:17699|type:standard|anchorText:Fundamentals Education Conference|cssClass:|title:|PFItemLinkShortcode], November 9-13, in Houston. After a brief review of the classification of sedimentary rocks (SedRx) and minerals found in those sedimentary rocks, the emphasis will shift to clay minerals: what are they, how do they form, how are they recognized, and what is their influence on reservoirs and reservoir evaluation. This course will be taught by [PFItemLinkShortcode|id:10554|type:standard|anchorText:Eric Eslinger|cssClass:|title:|PFItemLinkShortcode], Consultant and Professor at The College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY.
