The aim of this course is to practical geological applications of basin analysis studies to petroleum exploration. This course takes the trainee up to just below the level of full play fairway and petroleum systems analysis. However, it stresses the importance of basin evolution to petroleum generation, migration and accumulation. It will include worked examples in different types of basins and will be about the combined roles of tectonics and eustasy, palaeoclimate and biotic evolution. The course will concentrate on the practical uses of integrated datasets and how to apply these tools for basin analysis.

Dr. Afshin Fathiis a petroleum engineer with expertise in basin modeler and organic geochemist. He has more than 15 years of experience in the petroleum industry exploring conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon resources. His educational background in petroleum engineering, petroleum exploration, and mining exploration provides him with great abilities to understand and solve HC exploration problems. He developed new ideas and technologies which led to publishing several papers and two patents. He has experience in basins located in North America, Europe and northern part of the Arabian plate. During his career, he instructed lectures, presentations and on job training for different geological communities, companies and universities, including Polytechnic University of Tehran, Tehran University, National Iranian Oil Company, RIPI, POGC, Canada’s Energy Geoscientists. His research interests are: Applications of Data science in petroleum exploration, organic geochemistry, basin modeling, software development, conventional and unconventional resources exploration. Afshin is a member of AAPG, HGC, HOGC, SPE, and APPIH.
This course is design for geologists, geophysicists and exploration engineers involved in new ventures or exploration who require the skills to evaluate petroleum systems and their hydrocarbon potential. Depends on their experience they should attend to introduction, intermediate and advance level.
o Intermediate
After completing this course, participants will be familiar with the following:
o Exploration, data analysis and interpretation
o Source rock evaluation
Understand basin-forming processes and basin architecture
o Evaluate controls on sediment generation, transport and deposition
o Review key analytical techniques with a focus on burial history analysis
o Apply and integrate datasets to model basin evolution
