This course will provide the geologist, geophysicist, and engineer with sufficient background to better understand the basic principles of petroleum geochemistry, how best to use geochemistry in their exploration or production program, types of samples and analysis required to evaluate a basin/region, integration with other datasets, and better understand the geochemical data and interpretation as well as limitations. The goal is not to make the students into petroleum geochemists but provide them with the basic tools to be able to ask the right questions and understand the results to better evaluate charge risk.

Key topics to be discussed include:

• Petroleum and its products
• Molecular characterization of oils
• School exercise 1: Organic facies and maturity evaluation of selected oils
• Molecular characterization of gases
• School exercise 2: Organic facies and maturity evaluation of selected gases
• Source rock evaluation
• School exercise 3: Source rock evaluation of rock samples
• Reservoir geochemistry
• Surface geochemistry
• Developing a geochemistry program
• Basin/maturity modeling
• Primary and secondary migration
• Play charge analysis

Short Courses

Carbonate Depositional Systems
3-4 October 2016 | Houston, Texas
This course will include the prediction of depositional facies, stratigraphy and reservoir development in a variety of different settings. Instructed by Art Saller, he has 27 years of experience in the petroleum industry.

Roles and Responsibilities of a Development Geologist, For Beginners
7 October 2016 | Houston, Texas
A "mini-course" for the new development geologists to help start out right and to assist them in understanding what is important to know, what to do in this role, and what to avoid. Phil Salvador, the instructor for the course, has worked chiefly as a development geologist and has been involved in the development of clastic and carbonate conventional reservoirs in the US, North Sea, Middle East and Indonesia.

Workshop

Making Money with Mature Fields
5-6 October 2016 | Houston, Texas
The goal of this workshop is to review mature fields and to identify the amount and nature of oil that can be recovered, and to evaluate competing strategies for economically producing the remaining reserves. In addition to looking closely at fields, we will review new and improved technologies that may help revitalize reservoirs and overcome problems such as low pressure, paraffin, corrosion, and more. We will identify companies willing to offer a "no money down" approach, or other forms of innovative financing. In addition to reviewing the technology, we will review case studies.
