Overview
Sedimentological and stratigraphic knowledge is crucial in petroleum exploration and development activities, and is fundamental in making predictive models.
In this Applied Sedimentology course at the University of Aberdeen, you’ll develop practical geological skills in sedimentology, stratigraphy, and diagenesis that are applicable to the extraction and sequestration of fluids in the subsurface.
Careers
This course is relevant to individuals working or seeking employment in the energy industry where subsurface knowledge is valued.
This includes roles in:
- CO2 sequestration
- geothermal energy
- siting of windfarms
- hydrocarbons
Programme Structure
By the end of this applied sedimentology course, you’ll be able to:- Interpret siliciclastic and carbonate depositional environments from surface and subsurface data
- Apply sequence stratigraphic principles to perform correlation of evolving siliciclastic and carbonate systems
- Assess the effects of diagenesis on siliciclastic and sedimentary rocks
- Evaluate sedimentary facies as potential hydrocarbon and geothermal reservoirs and targets for CO2 sequestration
