COURSE OVERVIEW

 The course gives a fundamental and thorough introduction to structural geology. The participants will learn about geometrical, kinematical, and mechanical analysis with emphasis on process understanding. Particular subjects that will be taught are: geomechanics, tectonics, inversion, structural modelling reservoirs and reservoir modelling.

The main objective of the course is to elaborate guidelines for pore pressure theory and its application in static  model. We endeavor to make the best out of the existing procedures and methodologies and strive for excellence in the application. The presentation of the methodologies and procedures will be illustrated by real data and experience from full-field studies performed and accomplished by the instructor. Participants will understand that how the theory developed for 1 part of the world could be modified for elsewhere.
