The objectives of this course are to provide participants with a competency in Petroleum Geochemistry. The course addresses the principle concepts and applications of petroleum geochemistry used in finding, evaluating, and producing hydrocarbon (oil and gas). Emphasis is placed on the practical application of geochemistry in solving exploration and production problems and will aid geologists, geophysicits and petroleum engineers accordingly.
The objectives is to provide participants fundamental aspects and applications of geochemistry including production and evolution of organic matter during geological past. Review of laboratory methods including Rock–Eval Pyrolysis, Soxhelt extraction, Column Chromatography, Asphaltene precipitation, GC, GCMS, Head Space gas analysis, Organic Petrography using transmitted, reflected and UV light with sample problems will be discussed in the course. The course will also address the Evaluation techniques used to assess quantity, quality, maturation and depositional environments of petroleum source rocks, oil and gas prone kerogens, oil and gas generation with maturation, primary, secondary and tertiary migration of hydrocarbon and migration mechanisms includes interpretive pitfalls and exercises.

Mohammadreza Kamali holds PhD degree in Petroleum Geology/Geochemistry from the University of Adelaide, Australia and has accumulated over 30 years of experience working for NIOC, Research Institute of Petroleum Oil Industry, South Australian Department of Mining and Energy, and The Universities of Tehran, AmirKabir, Sharif, Petroleum University of Technology. He is currently Adjunct professor at Curtin University, Australia. Mohammadreza is the principal author of several books published chiefly in petroleum geochemistry and over 85 research articles in international journals. He has many years international collabooration experience with companies including: SHELL; TOTAL and Schlumberger; Hydro and Statoil (Norway); Nippon Oil Exploration and JOGMEG (Japan) and universities: Queensland (Australia); Nancy (France); Leoben (Austria); Aachen (Germany) and TU Delft (the Netherlands). He is a member of AAPG, SPE, EAGE and ISPG.
This course is designed for exploration geologists but could also benefit geochemical coordinators, managers and development geologists.
