Dear Sir / Madam,
The Indonesian Association of Geophysicists (Himpunan Ahli Geofisika
Indonesia - HAGI) will presents the 5-day course on "Petroleum Geochemistry:
Essential Concepts and Methods for Exploration and Production" course with
the following details :
Dates: 7 - 11 February 2011
Instructor: Awang H. Satyana (BPMIGAS)
Venue: Novotel Resort, Manado
Course fee: USD 2,250 (HAGI Member) USD 2,350 (Non-HAGI Member)
(Includes: hotel accommodation for 6 nights, lunch & coffee break, course
material, course kit, certificate, and photo group).
ABOUT THE COURSE
Today, people use concepts of petroleum system in evaluating petroleum
potential and exploration risks involved in area of investigation. We have
seen that these concepts have been successfully employed. Using this
approach, new petroleum accumulations have been discovered and significant
reduction of exploration risks has taken place.
Petroleum system concept was developed through petroleum geochemistry. The
ability to identify petroleum system uniquely depends on geochemical
techniques such as mapping hydrocarbon shows and carrying out
petroleum-petroleum and petroleum-source rock correlations. However
generally, one with strong interest and expertise in petroleum geochemistry
is seldom.
Most petroleum geologists know much about reservoirs and traps, little about
seals, and virtually nothing about source rocks and migration. This
contrasts with the knowledge that if we know where oils came from and how
and where they migrate, we can better predict where they can be found.
Petroleum geochemistry could then be used to upgrade areas to concentrate
exploration activity and reducing risk. Petroleum geochemistry should not be
under-employed let alone ignored.
In this five day course, concepts of petroleum geochemistry will be
discussed. Methods/techniques usually used in petroleum geochemistry for
interpreting source facies, kerogen types, source maturation, oil
classification, genetic gas types and many other things will be discussed.
Participants will also be introduced to biomarkers and isotopes, how to
interpret and use them for exploration and production. Migration concepts
that are so far too much oversimplified will be elaborated. Gas geochemistry
will also be presented in detail considering that gas resources are getting
important.
Reservoir geochemistry, which can give solutions for field development and
fluid problems, will be discussed in detail. Classical petroleum
geochemistry concepts and methods/techniques which are useful for
exploration geologists, would also be helpful for reservoir/production
geologist.
To make the course useful, the course will consist of: systematic
discussions on concepts and techniques/methods of petroleum geochemistry, a
lot of exercises learning how to use the techniques/methods, discussions on
real cases of petroleum geochemistry in Indonesian basins, and workshops
seeking solutions for geochemical problems using real data the participants
may bring.
