This professional short course provides participants with a comprehensive overview of sedimentary basins and their significance in hydrocarbon exploration and development. Participants will learn about the classification, tectonic settings, and evolution of sedimentary basins, with a focus on how these factors control sediment deposition, stratigraphy, and petroleum system development. The course emphasizes basin analysis techniques, including structural and stratigraphic interpretation, source rock assessment, and play fairway mapping. Through real-world examples and practical exercises, attendees will gain the skills to evaluate basin potential, identify prospective plays, and support exploration strategy and decision-making.

What You Will Learn:

1- Basin analysis techniques
2- Source rock assessment
3- Play fairway mapping
4- Thermal history reconstruction

By end of this 5-days, participants will have a solid understanding of the origin, classification, and evolution of sedimentary basins and their relevance to hydrocarbon systems. They will learn how tectonic settings influence basin architecture and stratigraphy, how to identify and evaluate key petroleum system elements within different basin types, and how to apply basin analysis techniques using seismic, well, and geochemical data. The course will also develop skills in thermal history reconstruction, play fairway mapping, and exploration risk assessment, enabling participants to confidently evaluate basin potential and support strategic exploration decisions.

The Schedule:

Day 1: Introduction to Sedimentary Basins.

Day 2: Basin Stratigraphy and Depositional Systems.

Day 3: Petroleum Systems within Basins.

Day 4: Basin Analysis and Exploration Techniques.
