Core Develop fundamental knowledge base
Geology of Reservoirs
Understand reservoirs and fluids
A multi-day guided field course across the state of Oklahoma learning about the various kinds of oilfields and aquifers. Students are introduced to various kinds of siliciclastic and carbonate facies and structural features through outcrops, logs, cores and seismic data.
Tracks Choose from three tracks for domain expertise
Geophysics
Mastering quantitative earth interpretation
Curriculum provides students with fundamental understanding of acquiring, processing and interpreting various geophysical data-types (seismic, electrical, gravity and magnetics). Students are introduced to various kinds of applications that use these tools and techniques for resource detection, mapping and extraction.
Petroleum Geology
Mastering data-driven earth assessment
Curriculum provides students with fundamental understanding of petroleum geosciences (how oil and gas is generated, how it migrates from its origin and why and where it accumulates). Students are introduced to various kinds of source and reservoir rocks and factors that control their deposition, and post-depositional physical and chemical transformation.
Hydrogeology
Mastering flow in porous media
The curriculum provides students with fundamentals of hydrodynamics and hydromechanics of groundwater systems. Student are introduced to current challenges faced by petroleum companies in managing their produced water.
