Course Title
"Structural Geology & Petroleum
Potential of Iran"
Instructors
Jan Witte & Daniel Trümpy
Location
Worldwide
Duration
5 Days
Objectives
This practical course focuses on the
structural geology and petroleum potential of one of the most prolific
hydrocarbon belts in the world,
the Iranian Zagros. Based on a number
of lectures and practical exercises, the course provides detailed insight into
the structural styles
of Iran and how they control the different
hydrocarbon provinces and trap configurations.
A significant part of the course will be spent on the analysis of
salt-related structures. About one and-a-half days are spent on basin &
play
analysis (selected case studies). The course includes numerous practical
exercises (remote sensing, seismic interpretation, cross-sections,
fracture
analysis, basin analysis).
The participants will significantly deepen their understanding and knowledge
of the structural settings of Iran and how they control the
hydrocarbon
prospectivity. The course is designed for G&G professionals, New Business
staff and managers.
